Chapter 1 Prologue

Ann sat alone in their living room, the wall clock ticking away the minutes that stretched into forever. She had spent hours waiting for Theo, and as time went on, her worry grew. There was an almost tangible tension in the home due to the silence, which seemed to intensify her concern.

Ann's patience ran out as the sun dropped below the horizon, throwing long shadows across the room. Whenever she had phoned Theo's phone number, voicemail would always answer. She thought through all the worst-case scenarios, and a knot of fear tightened in her chest.

The sound of the front door creaking open broke the silence like a dagger, just as she was about to give in to panic and contact the police. Ann shot to her feet, her gaze fixed on Theo's standing at the doorway, and her heart shot into her throat.

Theo walks through the door with a heavy sigh, his shoulders sagged and his face worn with defeat. Ann looks up with concern as she sees him enter.

"Babe you are home late I have been worried sick, is everything okay? "

Theo stumbles onto the couch after dropping his suitcase on the floor and runs his fingers through his hair. "No, I just lost my job, so everything is not okay.

Ann's shocked eyes widened, "What happened?

"They claimed to be cutting staff, so they had to lay me off. Am sorry I disappointed us all.

"But you don't deserve this, you have been working for this company for years now, you deserve more, why would they lay you off? That's odd.

"Are you questioning me, Ann? He asked angrily.

Ann gives a shake of her head and reaches out to bring Theo's chin up to meet her eyes. Theo, am sorry for asking such a question I didn't mean to offend you and you didn't disappoint anyone. Your value is not defined by your job loss. We'll work together to overcome this.

Theo leans into Ann's arms, comforted by her words, and his eyes sparkle with unshed tears.

Ann, I don't know what I would do without you. Ann puts more pressure on him and kisses him on the forehead. Theo, you'll never have to ask. Remember we're a team.

Theo nods, his face buried in Ann's shoulder as he expresses gratitude for her steadfast support during his difficult period. A tiny smile tugs at the corners of his mouth.

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.
