Emily, a Type-A personality, inherits a beachside cottage from her great-aunt and takes a break from her corporate job to renovate it. Jack, a charming artist, is her neighbor and helps her with the renovation. As they spend more time together, they clash due to their different personalities, but eventually, they develop feelings for each other. However, their relationship is put to the test when Emily's high-stress job and Jack's fear of commitment threaten to tear them apart.

Chapter 1 Emily's Escape

Emily stared out the window of her high-rise office building, her eyes gazing longingly at the horizon. She felt trapped, like a bird in a gilded cage. The past five years had been a whirlwind of success, but at what cost? Her job as a marketing executive had consumed her every waking moment, leaving her little time for anything else.

Just then, her assistant buzzed to remind her of a meeting with a potential client. Emily sighed and stood up, smoothing her tailored suit and making her way to the conference room.

After the meeting, Emily returned to her office and found an envelope on her desk. It was a letter from a lawyer's office, informing her that her great-aunt had passed away, leaving her the beachside cottage in her will.

Emily's eyes welled up with tears as she remembered her childhood summers spent at the cottage. It was the one place where she had felt truly happy and carefree. She knew exactly what she had to do.

"Book me a flight to Coastal Cove for tomorrow," Emily told her assistant, her mind made up.

The next morning, Emily stepped off the plane and took a deep breath of salty air, feeling a sense of liberation wash over her. She had two weeks to renovate the cottage and recharge her batteries before returning to her high-stress job.

Little did she know, her life was about to take a dramatic turn.

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.
