I was Ava Chen, a senior software engineer at NovaTech Dynamics, deliberately hiding my true identity. My secret: I was the legitimate heir to the tech giant, Chen Legacy Holdings, meticulously planning to reclaim my father' s empire after his recent death. My engagement to NovaTech' s CEO, Mark Olsen, was simply a strategic facade. Then Mark introduced Jess Riley, a new intern he hailed as a coding prodigy. She was my younger half-sister, the daughter of the woman my father left my mother for-the woman who shattered our lives. Mark, completely oblivious, assigned me to mentor Jess. Instead, Jess constantly undermined me, taking half-baked ideas directly to Mark, who praised her "initiative." When I submitted a professional review detailing her incompetence, Mark publicly tore it up. He then humiliated me, promoting Jess to my Project Lead role and demoting me to junior coding, telling me to "learn a thing or two." The ultimate betrayal came when our flagship project' s database was wiped. Jess, feigning innocent tears, subtly framed me, and Mark, consumed by her manipulative lies, claimed she was my father' s true heir. He pulled the server plug, screaming accusations of corporate espionage, and had me arrested on the spot. I stood there, utterly speechless, the man I thought I loved, completely deluded, sacrificing me for her. The faint scar on my collarbone, a memento from a childhood accident engineered by Jess' s mother, throbbed with cold fury. They thought they had broken me. They had no idea who they were truly dealing with. Hours later, my discreetly retained legal team had me released, all charges dropped. My carefully laid plans, years in the making, were now brutally accelerated. The quiet reclamation strategy was over. It was time for a ruthless, full-scale war to take back everything that was rightfully mine.

Introduction

I was Ava Chen, a senior software engineer at NovaTech Dynamics, deliberately hiding my true identity.

My secret: I was the legitimate heir to the tech giant, Chen Legacy Holdings, meticulously planning to reclaim my father' s empire after his recent death.

My engagement to NovaTech' s CEO, Mark Olsen, was simply a strategic facade.

Then Mark introduced Jess Riley, a new intern he hailed as a coding prodigy.

She was my younger half-sister, the daughter of the woman my father left my mother for-the woman who shattered our lives.

Mark, completely oblivious, assigned me to mentor Jess.

Instead, Jess constantly undermined me, taking half-baked ideas directly to Mark, who praised her "initiative."

When I submitted a professional review detailing her incompetence, Mark publicly tore it up.

He then humiliated me, promoting Jess to my Project Lead role and demoting me to junior coding, telling me to "learn a thing or two."

The ultimate betrayal came when our flagship project' s database was wiped.

Jess, feigning innocent tears, subtly framed me, and Mark, consumed by her manipulative lies, claimed she was my father' s true heir.

He pulled the server plug, screaming accusations of corporate espionage, and had me arrested on the spot.

I stood there, utterly speechless, the man I thought I loved, completely deluded, sacrificing me for her.

The faint scar on my collarbone, a memento from a childhood accident engineered by Jess' s mother, throbbed with cold fury.

They thought they had broken me.

They had no idea who they were truly dealing with.

Hours later, my discreetly retained legal team had me released, all charges dropped.

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.
