Chapter 1 Beginnings

Avery Malone's life before New York was a patchwork of memories, stitched together with the threads of love, loss, and resilience. Born and raised in the quaint town of Amherst, Massachusetts, Avery's childhood was colored by the warmth of her parents' affection and the promise of endless possibilities.

In the embrace of the Malone household, nestled among the rolling hills and verdant meadows of western Massachusetts, Avery's dreams took flight. Her father, Daniel Malone, a respected attorney, and her mother, Emily Malone, a talented artist, nurtured her passions and encouraged her to reach for the stars.

From an early age, Avery displayed a keen intellect and a boundless curiosity about the world around her. She devoured books voraciously, losing herself in the realms of imagination and exploration. With her mother's guidance, she discovered the joy of painting, losing herself in swirls of color and strokes of creativity.

But beneath the idyllic surface of Avery's childhood lurked shadows of sorrow. When she was twelve years old, tragedy struck with the sudden and devastating loss of her parents in a plane crash. The news shattered Avery's world, leaving her adrift in a sea of grief and uncertainty.

In the aftermath of the accident, Avery's uncle, Edward Malone, emerged as the executor of her parents' estate. A stern and distant figure, Edward had always cast a long shadow over Avery's life, his disapproval hovering like a dark cloud on the horizon. Despite her misgivings, Avery had hoped that he would offer her comfort and support in her time of need.

Instead, Edward's actions only deepened Avery's anguish. With cold efficiency, he liquidated her parents' assets, claiming it was in her best interest. Yet, as the weeks turned into months, Avery watched helplessly as her childhood home was sold, her father's law practice dissolved, and her mother's studio dismantled.

In a cruel twist of fate, Avery discovered that her parents had left behind substantial debts, debts that now fell squarely on her slender shoulders. With no one to turn to and nowhere to go, Avery found herself at the mercy of her uncle's mercy.

One fateful evening, Edward delivered the final blow, informing Avery that she was no longer welcome in his home. With a cold detachment that chilled her to the bone, he handed her a small suitcase containing a few meager belongings and escorted her to the door.

Alone and heartbroken, Avery wandered the darkened streets of Amherst, her tears mingling with the falling rain. With each step, she felt the weight of her losses pressing down upon her, threatening to crush her spirit.

But beneath the crushing weight of despair, a flicker of determination ignited within Avery's soul. She refused to surrender to the darkness, refused to let her uncle's betrayal define her. With trembling hands and a steely resolve, she wiped away her tears and set her sights on a new horizon.

As the first light of dawn illuminated the eastern sky, Avery boarded a bus bound for New York City, her heart heavy with sorrow yet brimming with hope. For in the glittering streets of Manhattan, amidst the towering skyscrapers and bustling crowds, she sensed the promise of a fresh start, a chance to rebuild her shattered life and reclaim her dreams. And with that thought burning bright within her, Avery Malone embarked on a journey that would change her life forever.

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.
