Five years after my death, the street punk banished by the Mafia family returned to this soil as a highly respected Godfather. He didn't come back for turf or business. He came for revenge. He wanted to make me regret the day I "betrayed" him. He framed my father as a rat. He locked my mother in a pitch-black basement until she went blind. He crippled my brother's right arm, stripping away his gift as a top-tier sniper forever. To find me and exact his vengeance personally, he had turned himself into a monster. "She's dead! She's been dead!" my brother roared. "Five years ago! When The Commission sent hitters after you, she took the fall! She burned to ashes so you could live!"

Chapter 1

The sprawling courtyard of the Moretti estate was unrecognizable.

It was raining. My father, Vincenzo Moretti, was forced to his knees.

Once the Consigliere of the Moretti family, he had always exuded an old-world elegance that modern gangsters sorely lacked.

Now, his tailored suit was in tatters, soaked through by the freezing rain and the cheap vodka Lev had poured over his head.

His face was a canvas of purple bruises and jagged lacerations. Yet, his spine remained perfectly straight.

Lev sat in a plush leather chair, completely untouched by the downpour.

He wore a bespoke charcoal suit, the cut accentuating the broad, aggressive shoulders he had built over the last five years.

A heavy, gold Syndicate ring gleamed dangerously on his index finger.

The street punk named "Leo Vance" from five years ago was dead and gone, replaced by the reigning kingpin known as "Lev Tarasov."

I stood inches away from Lev, screaming at him, pounding my translucent fists against his chest.

"Stop! Leo, look at him! That's my father!"

But my fists just phased right through his tailored suit.

I was a ghost. He couldn't see me, nor could he hear my soul being torn apart.

I was trapped in a purgatory of my own making, forced to watch the fallout of my ultimate sacrifice unfold.

Lev's pale blue eyes had turned terrifyingly cold. A cigarette burned between his fingers.

"How does it feel, Vincenzo?" Lev's voice was lethal, cutting right through the sound of the rain. "The great Consigliere. The man who used to own the judges, the cops, and the streets."

"Look at you now. The Commission has disowned you, and your capos have turned their backs on you. You're nothing but a laughingstock, waiting to be butchered in your own front yard."

My father didn't flinch. He slowly raised his head, water dripping from his eyelashes. Even battered and broken, the look he gave Lev held no fear-only a deep, pitying disappointment.

"Tarasov, I have lived my entire life in the shadows," my father rasped. "I have made my peace with my sins. My only true regret... is that my daughter had such terrible taste in men."

Those words hit Lev like a sledgehammer.

I saw a microscopic twitch in his jaw, his hand white-knuckling the armrest. Beneath the ice-cold exterior of this Russian mobster hid a shattered heart.

Lev stood up and flicked his cigarette onto the wet stones. He gave a subtle nod to his enforcer, Yuri. "Keep beating him."

Yuri stepped forward with a lead pipe, swinging it like a baseball bat, and brought it down hard against my father's ribs.

The sickening crunch of snapping bone echoed across the courtyard.

My father collapsed, curling into the mud with a muffled groan catching in his throat.

No! Dad!

I threw myself over my father, desperately trying to shield him, but the pipe simply phased through my back on the next brutal downswing.

Do ghosts feel physical pain? No.

But the psychological torture of absolute powerlessness was a hundred times worse than dying.

Lev walked slowly down the stone steps, his leather dress shoes splashing in the puddles. He crouched beside my father, grabbed Vincenzo by his silver hair, and yanked his head back.

"Tell me where Clara is," Lev whispered, his voice trembling slightly with suppressed rage.

"Tell me where she ran off to. Tell me whose bed she's hiding under. Give her to me, and I'll end this. I'll let you die with your dignity. I'll spare your wife and your son."

My father coughed, blood staining his teeth. He let out a dry, raspy laugh. "You'll never find her, Lev. Neither can we."

The undeniable finality in my father's tone infuriated Lev. He backhanded him across the face. My father slumped sideways onto the stones, out cold.

Lev stood up, wiping my father's blood from his knuckles with a silk pocket square.

He surveyed the courtyard, his gaze drifting up to the pitch-black windows of the manor.

"I remember when this house used to be my sanctuary," Lev muttered to himself, though I heard him perfectly from right beside him. "I remember when I thought you people were gods."

"But now you're nothing. You raised a cold, heartless bitch who sold me to the wolves the first chance she got."

He tossed the blood-soaked silk square onto my father's back.

"Vincenzo, if you won't give her up, then you'll pay her debt. Throw him in the kennels."

I stood as a ghost, watching the rhythmic thud of dirt hitting my own casket. My father, Senator Ellwood, dabbed his eyes for the cameras while my stepmother, Carroll, played the grieving mother perfectly, even though they were the ones who had paved the way for my murder. The vision shifted to a high-rise office where Isadore Walker, the terrifying "Shadow Regent," was methodically bankrupting every elite family that had betrayed me. He pressed a silver koi fish necklace to his lips and triggered a massive explosion, choosing to burn the entire world down just to join me in death. "Little Fish," he whispered. In my first life, I was a naive pawn who believed my best friend, Catarina, when she claimed I simply slipped into the pool at my Debutante Ball. I let the opportunistic Cody Stevens play the hero who "saved" me, leading to a hollow engagement that ended in my ruin. I never knew that my stepmother had conspired with our housekeeper to hide my true identity and keep me from my biological family. I died without ever understanding why Isadore, a man who treated me with cold indifference, would sacrifice everything for my sake. I didn't know that my entire life was a web of kidnappings and bribes designed to keep me as a political pawn. Suddenly, the heat of the explosion warped into the agonizing burn of icy water. I broke the surface, gasping for air, back at the very party where my downfall began three years ago. As I climbed out, I didn't look for Cody’s help. I wrapped myself in Isadore’s sandalwood-scented jacket and felt the cold steel of the tactical knife he had left in the pocket. This time, I wasn't the victim; I was the one who would light the fuse.

I was the trophy wife of Wall Street’s golden boy, Spencer Elliott. For three years, I played the part of the perfect, silent spouse, enduring his coldness and his mother’s venom. I did it all because Spencer was the only person paying for the experimental medical care keeping my dying mother alive. But during a high-society gala, the gilded cage finally broke. I overheard Spencer laughing with his mistress about the "custom cocktail" he was feeding my mother. He wasn't paying for her cure; he was paying a doctor to systematically poison her with sedatives to keep me dependent and compliant until his forty-million-dollar inheritance vested. When I tried to confront him, the mask of the perfect husband shattered. He dragged me by my hair into our bedroom and slammed me against the wall, his eyes cold and murderous. "If you ever try to leave, your mother gets an overdose. Accidentally, of course." He told me I was nothing more than a pawn for his payout. I realized then that my entire marriage was a calculated swindle, and the man I thought was my savior was actually my mother's executioner. The betrayal was so deep it turned my blood to ice. Every sacrifice I had made and every humiliation I had swallowed was built on a monstrous lie. I felt a cold, sharp rage replacing my despair, a surgeon’s focus shifting from healing to a much more dangerous kind of excision. That’s when Julian Sterling, the most feared man in the city, stepped out of the shadows to burn my world down. He rescued me from Spencer’s violence and promised me a life of freedom, but as I finally exhaled in his arms, my secret burner phone buzzed with an encrypted message. The man who originally ruined my family was back, and the last time he was seen, he was standing right next to Julian. Is my new protector my greatest ally, or the target I've been hunting all along?

The last thing I remembered was the cold concrete against my cheek and the metallic taste of my own blood. Above the ringing in my ears, I heard Olivia, my wife, screaming, not for me, but for Ethan, her charming assistant. I had pushed her out of the way of falling scaffolding, saving her life, only for a steel pipe to crush mine; a minor gash on Ethan' s forehead was treated like a mortal wound while my entire life drained away. As paramedics rushed Ethan onto a stretcher, my vision blurred, and the brutal truth crystallized: all my sacrifices, years working to support her dreams, meant nothing. I was worth less than her lover's superficial cut, and my love for her finally died, just moments before I did. Then, I blinked. Suddenly, the sterile hospital smell was gone, replaced by Olivia' s familiar, expensive perfume, and I was standing whole, pain-free, in the living room of our ridiculously large, empty house. It was the night of our biggest fight, a week before the accident, a fight that had set the stage for the end. "Liam, I' m tired of this," she said, tossing a black credit card onto the coffee table. "Here. A million-dollar credit line. Go buy yourself whatever you want. Just stop acting like a wounded puppy every time I spend time with Ethan. It' s pathetic." In my past life, her words had shattered me, driving me to refuse the card and plead for her love, a futile mistake. But this time, I was reborn. I calmly picked up the card, a chilling question forming on my lips: "So I can spend as much as I want?"

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
