I replaced my twin sister in a marriage contract to the ruthless Mafia Don, Donovan Blackwood. For three years, I was a ghost in his home, silently enduring his coldness while he flaunted his mistress, Chloe. On the very last day of our contract, Chloe staged an accident. Donovan didn't hesitate. He forced me to drain my blood to save her life. Then, to prove his loyalty to her, he drove me to the cliffs and pushed me into the freezing ocean. He even locked me in a cellar infested with spiders-my deepest phobia-because she lied and said I threatened her. He thought he was punishing the spoiled, arrogant Isabella. He didn't know he was breaking Ava, the woman who had silently memorized his allergies and waited up for him in the dark every single night. When I finally took my fifty million dollars and vanished, I left behind nothing but the divorce papers and a photo revealing the truth. He tore the city apart, destroying my family to find me, only to realize he had tortured the wrong woman. Now, he is standing on my porch in the pouring rain, staring in horror at the simple wooden ring on my finger given to me by another man. He falls to his knees, begging for a chance to love the wife he tried to destroy. I look at him, feeling absolutely nothing. "It's too late, Donovan," I say, locking the door. "You killed her."

I replaced my twin sister in a marriage contract to the ruthless Mafia Don, Donovan Blackwood.

For three years, I was a ghost in his home, silently enduring his coldness while he flaunted his mistress, Chloe.

On the very last day of our contract, Chloe staged an accident.

Donovan didn't hesitate.

He forced me to drain my blood to save her life.

Then, to prove his loyalty to her, he drove me to the cliffs and pushed me into the freezing ocean.

He even locked me in a cellar infested with spiders-my deepest phobia-because she lied and said I threatened her.

He thought he was punishing the spoiled, arrogant Isabella.

When I finally took my fifty million dollars and vanished, I left behind nothing but the divorce papers and a photo revealing the truth.

He tore the city apart, destroying my family to find me, only to realize he had tortured the wrong woman.

I look at him, feeling absolutely nothing.

"It's too late, Donovan," I say, locking the door. "You killed her."

Chapter 1

Ava Miller POV

My mother's voice on the phone was the only thing louder than the oppressive silence of the library.

"The wire transfer is pending, Ava. Midnight tonight. You survive until then, and you get the fifty million. You break character, and your father will kill you himself."

The line went dead before I could even breathe.

I stared at the heavy mahogany desk in front of me.

My hands were shaking.

I pressed them flat against the cool leather surface, willing the tremors to cease.

Three years.

That was the sentence.

One thousand and ninety-five days of being someone else.

I looked down at the diamond wedding band on my finger.

It was heavy.

It felt like a shackle forged from cold starlight.

To the world, I was Isabella Miller. The spoiled, fiery Mafia Princess who had tamed the ruthless Donovan Blackwood.

But in this house, I was a ghost.

I was merely collateral damage in a peace treaty between two crime syndicates that hated each other.

I closed the thick book I had been pretending to read.

The clock on the wall ticked.

Ten hours left.

Ten hours until the contract expired.

Ten hours until I could take the money and disappear.

The door to the library creaked open.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop ten degrees.

Donovan Blackwood walked in.

He was a man carved from violence and expensive suits.

As the Don of the Blackwood Famiglia, he controlled half the city, owned the police force, and had killed men for simply looking at him wrong.

He was beautiful in the way a loaded gun is beautiful.

Deadly. Sleek. Cold.

He didn't even look at me.

He walked straight to the liquor cabinet and poured a glass of amber liquid.

I sat perfectly still.

That was my superpower.

Silence.

My twin sister, the real Isabella, would have thrown a vase at him. She would have screamed for attention.

But Isabella had run away three years ago.

She had fled the night before the wedding, terrified of the monster she was promised to.

So my father put me in the white dress.

He told me to keep my mouth shut and play the part.

If I didn't, he would bury me in the foundation of his new casino.

Donovan downed the drink in one swallow.

He finally turned his icy blue eyes toward me.

They were devoid of warmth.

To him, I was the daughter of his enemy.

I was a burden he had to tolerate to keep the peace.

"Isabella," he said. His voice was a low rumble that vibrated in my chest.

I stood up.

"Yes, Donovan."

My voice was soft.

He hated that.

He hated that I didn't fight back. He thought it was a game.

"Chloe is coming over," he said. "Stay in your wing."

Chloe Sanders.

The mistress.

The woman he actually wanted.

She wasn't a made member of the mafia. She was a thrill-seeker who got off on the danger.

She had returned from Europe a month ago, and since then, I had become invisible.

"Understood," I said.

I didn't care.

I really didn't.

Every time he went to her, it meant he wasn't looking at me.

It meant my secret was safe.

But tonight was different.

Tonight was the last night.

Donovan narrowed his eyes.

He took a step toward me.

"You are too quiet today," he said.

I clasped my hands in front of me.

"Just reading."

He scoffed.

He walked past me, his shoulder brushing mine.

The scent of whiskey and gunpowder filled my nose.

It made my stomach turn.

I remembered a year ago.

The storm.

He had ordered me to deliver medicine to Chloe's apartment because his drivers were busy.

I had stood in the rain for twenty minutes.

I heard him through the door.

He told his Capo he would always choose her.

He said his wife was just a contract.

I knew that.

But hearing it out loud, while shivering in the rain, felt like a slap.

When I handed him the bag, he didn't say thank you.

He told me to give it to her directly. To show respect.

I did it.

I scrubbed my skin raw in the shower that night.

I felt dirty.

Donovan stopped at the door of the library.

He turned back.

"Don't wait up," he said.

"I won't."

He left.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

I went upstairs to my room.

I started to pack.

Just a small bag.

Essentials only.

Passport. Cash. The burner phone my mother had sent.

The hours bled away until I heard a crash downstairs.

It was past midnight.

Technically, I was free.

I should have climbed out the window right then.

But I heard shouting.

I crept to the landing.

Donovan was stumbling through the foyer.

He was drunk.

He was shouting at a shadow.

"You threatened her!" he roared.

I froze.

He looked up and saw me.

His face twisted into a snarl.

He charged up the stairs.

I backed away.

"Donovan, you're drunk," I whispered.

He grabbed my arm.

His grip was like iron.

"Chloe told me," he spat. "She told me you said you'd kill her if she didn't leave."

I shook my head.

"I never spoke to her."

"Liar!"

He shoved me.

It wasn't a hard shove.

But I was wearing wool socks on the polished wood.

I slipped.

My head cracked against the banister with a sickening thud.

Pain exploded behind my eyes.

Black spots danced in my vision.

I slumped to the floor.

Donovan stood over me.

He didn't look concerned.

He looked disgusted.

"You deserve that," he muttered.

He turned and walked into his bedroom, slamming the door.

I lay on the floor.

My head throbbed.

I touched my temple.

My fingers came away red.

I closed my eyes.

*It's just a contract,* I told myself.

*I just need to survive the night.*

Three days before my wedding, I held the invitations, a bright future with Chloe Davis unfolding before me. I decided to surprise her at her final dress fitting, full of stupid, happy optimism. But through the boutique window, I saw her with Ethan Miller, her "first love," the broke con artist I'd repeatedly paid off at Chloe's tearful request. Then, hidden in an alley, I heard their conversation: my meticulously planned life was a calculated scam. She called me "pathetic," a "tool," a "walking ATM." She even bragged about how easy I was to manipulate. My five years of pouring everything into her-paying off her loans, buying her a car and her mother a condo, giving Ethan tens of thousands-all of it was a lie designed to extract every penny before she discarded me. The invitations slipped from my numb fingers, scattering on the dirty asphalt as memories flooded back, each sweet moment now tainted with cold, cynical calculation. My heart, once full, was now a charred, worthless spot. The most horrific truth came out when she intentionally crashed our car on the freeway, shattering my leg. She escaped untouched, called Ethan, and left me for dead, only to flaunt her Vegas trip with him on social media, using my credit card, while I fought for my life. I was broken, not just by her betrayal, but by the realization that she hadn' t just hurt me; she had actively despised me, plotting to destroy me and even poisoning my mother to hasten my inheritance. But I wouldn't just be used and discarded. No. This was no longer about a broken heart. This was about my mother. This was about justice.

My whole life was focused on one goal: Harvard. I was Sarah Miller, the academic star, future astrophysicist, and that scholarship was my family's only way out of our small New England town. Just days after acing another SAT practice test, my best friend Chloe, with her cheerleader ponytail swinging, handed me a shiny "friendship locket" for good luck. Suddenly, my perfect scores plummeted, while Chloe' s, who usually struggled, inexplicably soared. Then, a chilling conversation overheard outside the library confirmed my worst fears: Chloe and Ethan, my childhood friend and the boy I might have loved, had deliberately used the cursed antique locket from Mr. Abernathy' s shop to swap my academic luck for Chloe' s gain. My actual SAT scores were a disaster, shattering my Harvard dream and my mother's hopes as her health faltered under the stress. Ethan, to shield Chloe from a plagiarism charge, brazenly framed me, leading to my National Honor Society revocation, lost scholarships, and public humiliation as a "cheater." Later, after Ethan rushed off to save Chloe, leaving me besieged by a vengeful clique vandalizing my car, he returned only to plant fabricated evidence that caused my mother to collapse. How could my closest friends, who should have been my anchors, orchestrate such a cruel, calculated betrayal, then watch my life unravel without a flicker of remorse? The injustice burned, transforming my despair into a cold, sharp rage. They believed they had dealt with the 'naive bookworm' and that I would just "be fine." They were profoundly mistaken. My revenge would begin by turning their own vile magic against them.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
