Chapter 1 Moonlit Encounter

In the village of Silverbrook, nestled amidst the sprawling woods, a sense of enchantment hung in the air as the full moon cast its radiant glow over the quaint homes and cobblestone streets. The villagers took shelter in their houses, sharing tales of werewolves and mythical creatures that prowled the night. Among them lived Ava, a spirited young woman with an insatiable curiosity that led her on adventures of the mind and heart.

As the evening breeze rustled the leaves, Ava found herself drawn to the edge of the forest, captivated by the allure of the full moon. Its ethereal light beckoned her like a silent call, whispering secrets of the night.

With each step she took into the shadows, Ava felt the woods come alive with unseen wonders. Her heart pounded with excitement, though her instincts warned her of the dangers lurking within.

Just as Ava contemplated retreating, a figure emerged from the shadows, his form bathed in the moon's soft glow. Intrigued and apprehensive, Ava's eyes met those of the mysterious stranger, whose gaze seemed to pierce through her soul.

"Who are you?" she asked, her voice steady despite her racing heartbeat.

"I am Gabriel," he replied, his voice carrying an air of mystery. "I am but a traveler seeking shelter for the night."

His presence felt otherworldly, and Ava sensed there was more to his story than he let on. Yet, his vulnerability and the hint of sadness in his eyes stirred a feeling of empathy within her.

"I am Ava," she introduced herself with a smile, unable to quell her inquisitiveness. "You must be cautious wandering the woods on a night like this. The villagers believe it to be dangerous."

Gabriel's lips curved into a faint smile, a hint of gratitude in his expression. "Thank you for your concern, Ava. I'm well aware of the stories, but I find comfort beneath the moon's light."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, as if they were two souls who had known each other for lifetimes. As the night wore on, Ava learned of Gabriel's travels, of the distant lands he had explored and the mysteries he sought to unravel.

She shared her own stories of wanderlust, her passion for learning, and her dreams of adventure beyond the borders of Silverbrook. In Gabriel's presence, Ava felt a sense of liberation, as if he understood the longing within her heart.

Time seemed to slip away as they conversed beneath the full moon, their words weaving a connection that defied the boundaries of time and space. When the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, Ava realized that the night had cast a spell on her, drawing her into a world of enchantment she had never known.

"I must go," Gabriel said, a touch of sadness in his eyes. "Thank you for your kindness, Ava. You have made this night one to remember."

Ava's heart swelled with a mix of emotions as she bid him farewell, unable to shake the feeling that their meeting was no mere coincidence. As the first light of day broke through the forest canopy, she returned to the village, her mind filled with thoughts of the mysterious traveler.

Little did she know that their paths would cross again, and that their encounter beneath the full moon would mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey-one that would unravel secrets, awaken ancient powers, and forge a bond that would defy the darkness that loomed on the horizon.

And so, as the sun rose over Silverbrook, Ava felt a sense of anticipation in her heart, knowing that the night had forever changed her life, leading her on a path she could never have imagined.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
