I was Ava Miller, the quiet wife of Ethan Hayes, CEO of Miller & Co. What no one knew was that I was the true owner, the majority shareholder, content to stay in his shadow. At Chloe' s school Thanksgiving gala, my world shattered. Ethan, feigning a "board emergency," appeared on stage, openly parading his mistress, Sophia Rossi, and her son Leo, as his "model family." He publicly denied knowing me, his wife, the mother of his child. Sophia smirked, humiliating me, while my daughter, Chloe, sobbed in confusion. Leo cruelly tripped Chloe, and Sophia mocked me, throwing money at my feet. The humiliation burned, but the true agony came when Sophia orchestrated a vile online campaign, leaking Chloe' s school details and flooding forums with hate. Then, Ethan sent a company lawyer to threaten me with a restraining order. How could he betray us so blatantly? How could she be so monstrous, targeting my innocent child? They thought I was just a scorned wife to be dismissed, gaslighted, and silenced. But as that young lawyer spoke, a cold fire ignited. I wasn't just Ava Hayes. I was Ava Miller, Madam Chairwoman. And I was about to show them exactly how powerful a quiet wife could be.

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.
