I was finally moving to Austin, landing my dream software job. The apartment search was the last hurdle before my new life truly began. Then the leasing office called. My credit was flagged, not for me, but for 'Thompson Family Ventures LLC' – a company I' d never heard of, with massive unpaid taxes and delinquent loans, all tied to my name. My Uncle Rick was behind it. Turns out my dad knew about it, dismissing it as 'just a formality' even as my apartment application hung in limbo. At our family BBQ, I confronted Rick, but my dad, and even my grandmother, ordered me to 'let it go for family peace,' calling me disrespectful for demanding accountability. The betrayal cut deep; they chose him over me, again. How could they? My future, my credit, my very identity were on the line because of my uncle' s schemes, and my own family was telling me to sacrifice everything to protect him. Was I just expected to bear this burden for 'family peace'? But when Dad collapsed with a heart attack, and Uncle Rick had the audacity to try to strong-arm me into signing away my legal rights under the guise of 'helping' with medical bills, Dad' s denial finally shattered. His tearful apology, and my mom's fierce, unwavering support, finally gave me the clarity – and the blessing – I needed. This wasn't just about me anymore. It was time to fight back. And expose everything.

I was finally moving to Austin, landing my dream software job.

The apartment search was the last hurdle before my new life truly began.

Then the leasing office called.

My credit was flagged, not for me, but for 'Thompson Family Ventures LLC' – a company I' d never heard of, with massive unpaid taxes and delinquent loans, all tied to my name. My Uncle Rick was behind it.

Turns out my dad knew about it, dismissing it as 'just a formality' even as my apartment application hung in limbo.

At our family BBQ, I confronted Rick, but my dad, and even my grandmother, ordered me to 'let it go for family peace,' calling me disrespectful for demanding accountability. The betrayal cut deep; they chose him over me, again.

How could they? My future, my credit, my very identity were on the line because of my uncle' s schemes, and my own family was telling me to sacrifice everything to protect him. Was I just expected to bear this burden for 'family peace'?

But when Dad collapsed with a heart attack, and Uncle Rick had the audacity to try to strong-arm me into signing away my legal rights under the guise of 'helping' with medical bills, Dad' s denial finally shattered.

His tearful apology, and my mom's fierce, unwavering support, finally gave me the clarity – and the blessing – I needed. This wasn't just about me anymore. It was time to fight back. And expose everything.

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.
