For seven years, I served as the eyes for Dante Vitiello, the blind Capo of New York. I pulled him back from the edge of madness, tending to his wounds and warming his bed when everyone else had given up on him. But the moment his vision returned, the years of devotion turned to ash. In a single phone call, he decided to marry Sofia Moretti for territory, dismissing me as just "the maid's daughter" and a "comfort" he intended to keep as a mistress. He forced me to watch him court her. At a gala, when a chaotic accident caused a tower of champagne glasses to shatter, Dante threw his body over Sofia to protect her. He left me standing there, bleeding from the glass shards, while he carried her away like she was porcelain. He didn't even look back at the woman who had saved his life. I realized then that I had worshipped a broken god. I had given him my dignity, only for him to treat me like a disposable bandage now that he was whole. He arrogantly believed I would stay in the penthouse, grateful for his scraps. So, while he was out celebrating his engagement, I met with his mother. I signed the severance agreement for fifty million dollars. I packed my bags, wiped my phone, and boarded a one-way flight to Australia. By the time Dante came home to an empty bed, realized his mistake, and began tearing the city apart to find me, I was already a ghost.

Chapter 1

Elena Rossi POV:

I was tracing the jagged scars on Dante's knuckles when his phone rang, and in the span of a single three-minute conversation, the seven years I had spent being his eyes, his nurse, and his lover turned into ash.

We were in the back of the armored Maybach.

The leather seats smelled like his cologne-sandalwood and gunpowder.

Dante Vitiello, the Capo of the New York families-the man who had blinded himself with whiskey and rage before I dragged him back from the edge-didn't pull his hand away from mine.

He simply answered the phone.

"Parla," he commanded. *Speak.*

He put it on speaker, but low.

He thought I was just the maid's daughter.

He thought the only thing I knew how to do was change bandages and warm his bed.

He didn't know that during the long nights when he was blind and screaming at the walls, I had taught myself his language just to understand the terror in his nightmares.

"Dante," Marco's voice crackled through the line, sharp with anger. "Are you insane? You're signing the papers with Sofia? After what she did to you?"

My finger stopped moving over his hand.

Dante sighed, a sound that used to vibrate against my chest when we slept.

"It's strategic, Marco," Dante replied in rapid, fluent Italian. "The Moretti territory is vital. Sofia is the key. I need her father's soldiers."

"And the girl?" Marco asked. "Elena?"

Dante looked at me.

His eyes, now restored to a piercing, icy blue, swept over my face.

He squeezed my hand. A reassurance. A lie.

"Elena is... comfortable," Dante said in Italian, his voice devoid of the warmth he had once showed me in the dark. "She is a comfort. But Sofia will be the wife. Elena doesn't need to know the details. She's happy in the penthouse. I'll keep her there."

A comfort.

Not a partner. Not a savior.

A pet.

My heart didn't break; it just stopped beating.

I looked out the tinted window.

The city lights blurred into streaks of red and gold against the rain-slicked glass.

"She's a servant's daughter, Marco," Dante added, driving the final nail into my coffin. "She understands her place. She won't question the Don."

He hung up.

He brought my hand to his lips and kissed the palm.

"Business," he said in English, his voice smooth, charming. The voice of a liar. "Just boring logistics, *tesoro*."

I smiled.

It felt like the skin on my face was cracking.

"Of course, Dante."

His phone buzzed again. A text.

He glanced at it, and I saw the name *Sofia* flash on the screen.

His jaw tightened.

He tapped the partition. "Stop the car."

The driver pulled over instantly onto the wet, gravel shoulder of the highway.

"Elena," Dante said, turning to me. "I have to handle something urgent. It's not safe for you to come."

It was raining.

We were ten miles from the penthouse.

"Here?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

"The driver will loop back for you in an hour," he said, opening the door. The cold wind rushed in, biting my skin. "Wait inside the guard station up the road. I need the car."

He wasn't protecting me.

He was going to her.

And he didn't want the maid's daughter in the way.

I stepped out.

My heels sank into the mud.

The heavy door slammed shut, sealing him inside his world of power and blood.

The Maybach peeled away, tires screeching against the asphalt, leaving me standing in the freezing rain.

I watched the taillights fade until they were swallowed by the darkness.

Seven years.

I had fed him when he couldn't find his mouth.

I had read to him when he lived in eternal night.

I had worshipped a broken god, and now that he was whole, he had realized I wasn't divine enough for his altar.

I didn't walk to the guard station.

I stood there, letting the rain soak through my silk blouse, washing away the scent of his cologne.

I pulled my phone from my purse.

My hands were shaking, but my mind was crystal clear.

I dialed a number I had never dared to use.

"Vitiello Residence," a cold voice answered.

"Put Donna Isabella on the line," I said, staring down the empty road. "Tell her the maid's daughter is ready to negotiate her severance package."

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
