Ethan Miller, a quiet craftsman, was a phantom in his own mansion. His wife, Olivia, and daughter, Chloe, orbited Julian Vance, Olivia's charismatic college sweetheart, leaving Ethan feeling unseen and unloved, merely furniture. The call came: Chloe fell at school. Rushing there, he watched Olivia and Julian sweep past him, directly to his injured child, ignoring him completely. The rejection was instant. Chloe flinched from his touch, whimpering, "I want Julian!" Olivia publicly shamed Ethan for the accident, while Julian' s smug glances reinforced his inadequacy. Ethan was an outsider, even in his daughter's pain. Later revelations: Chloe' s "accidents" were deliberate, encouraged by Julian, confirming Ethan' s deepest fears. Was this betrayal his inescapable fate? His own daughter, groomed to reject him; his wife, a stranger to his agony.

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.
