Ex-spouses Ethan Carter and Sienna Blake had the perfect marriage-until a devastating misunderstanding tore them apart. Years later, they are forced back together by a chilling mystery: Ethan receives a call from a voice he thought was long gone, warning him that someone is out for blood-his and Sienna's. With their past filled with unanswered questions, betrayal, and buried emotions, they soon realize that their divorce was orchestrated by someone who wanted them apart. Now, drawn into a high-stakes game of revenge, Ethan and Sienna must work together to uncover the truth before it's too late. But as their enemies close in, so do their feelings-intense, undeniable, and more dangerous than ever. Will they unravel the mystery before they lose their lives... or their hearts again?

Chapter 1 The Call

Ethan Carter had always believed in logic. Numbers, patterns, facts-these were the things that made sense in his world. But at exactly 11:47 PM, his reality unraveled with a single phone call.

His penthouse apartment, perched high above the city skyline, was silent except for the occasional hum of traffic below. He sat at his desk, whiskey glass in hand, staring at the blueprints of his latest development project. Work was his escape. Work was safe.

Then the phone rang.

His personal line. The one almost no one had.

He frowned, setting down his drink. The caller ID was blocked. His instincts told him to ignore it. But something-some invisible force-compelled him to answer.

He pressed the phone to his ear. "Who is this?"

A pause. Then, a voice he hadn't heard in three years.

"They're coming for you, Ethan."

His blood ran cold.

The voice was distorted, but he knew it. Knew it like a song stuck in his head, like a ghost that refused to leave him alone. It wasn't possible.

"Sienna?" he breathed.

Static crackled on the line. Then: "Find me before they do."

The call ended.

Ethan remained frozen, phone still against his ear. The room around him blurred, his heartbeat thunderous in his chest.

Sienna. His ex-wife. The woman who had shattered him.

She was supposed to be gone. Out of his life for good.

But now, she was back. And she was in danger.

And whether he wanted to or not, he was going to find her.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
