My world shattered in the sterile hospital air, moments after my twin sons, Leo and Max, were born. Overhearing a hushed conversation, I discovered Max wasn't mine – he was my wife Olivia's lover Marcus's son, a fact confirmed by a secret DNA test. My mother, beside me, gasped, then collapsed, dying on the spot from the shock of Olivia' s betrayal. Olivia abandoned me and Leo, taking Max away, only to unleash a torrent of public humiliation. Marcus plastered their family photos online, Olivia still wearing my wedding ring, brazenly claiming "my woman, my son." The city' s gossip consumed me; I was the cuckolded fool. But the betrayal intensified. My culinary competition portfolio, my life' s work, vanished. Days later, Marcus stood on stage, presenting my stolen ideas as his own. And then Olivia, my wife, painted me as a delusional lunatic, publicly tearing down my credibility to protect her lover. How could she be so callously cruel? My mother was dead because of her, my son abandoned, my career destroyed, and I was branded the insane one while they thrived. The injustice was a suffocating weight. But the broken pieces of my life sparked a furious resolve. I threw my wedding ring into the river, a final severance. I would leave this poisoned city, escape the whispers, and take Leo, my real son, far away. We would rebuild, find peace, and finally, be free from her shadow.

My world shattered in the sterile hospital air, moments after my twin sons, Leo and Max, were born.

Overhearing a hushed conversation, I discovered Max wasn't mine – he was my wife Olivia's lover Marcus's son, a fact confirmed by a secret DNA test. My mother, beside me, gasped, then collapsed, dying on the spot from the shock of Olivia' s betrayal.

Olivia abandoned me and Leo, taking Max away, only to unleash a torrent of public humiliation.

Marcus plastered their family photos online, Olivia still wearing my wedding ring, brazenly claiming "my woman, my son."

The city' s gossip consumed me; I was the cuckolded fool.

But the betrayal intensified. My culinary competition portfolio, my life' s work, vanished.

Days later, Marcus stood on stage, presenting my stolen ideas as his own. And then Olivia, my wife, painted me as a delusional lunatic, publicly tearing down my credibility to protect her lover.

How could she be so callously cruel? My mother was dead because of her, my son abandoned, my career destroyed, and I was branded the insane one while they thrived. The injustice was a suffocating weight.

But the broken pieces of my life sparked a furious resolve. I threw my wedding ring into the river, a final severance. I would leave this poisoned city, escape the whispers, and take Leo, my real son, far away. We would rebuild, find peace, and finally, be free from her shadow.

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.
