My wedding day was supposed to be the start of everything. Three hours after I married my college sweetheart, Ethan Hayes, my world imploded. He raised his glass for a toast, but instead announced, "This is an end." Publicly, brutally, he annulled our marriage, leaving me shattered and ridiculed in front of hundreds. My love, my hope, my very reputation-all destroyed on that glittering ballroom floor. Five years later, a new, quiet life had begun; I was secretly married to Alexander Sterling, New York' s reclusive tech billionaire. I thought I was finally safe, finally happy. Then, I saw Ethan again, with his cruel accomplice, Brittany, their smug faces a painful reminder. He mocked my simple life, then insultingly offered me a cleaning job. When I quietly revealed I was married, they erupted in disbelieving laughter. Brittany snatched the unique signet ring Alex had given me, screaming "Thief!" Ethan, fearing for his ambitious plans, brutally slapped me, dragging me from the cafe into a dark alley. He imprisoned me, then, to protect his image, hauled me onto his gala stage, accusing me of stalking. My life felt ruined all over again, consumed by pain and utter injustice. In front of society's elite, he twisted my hand with a sickening crunch, deliberately breaking it. My screamed agony was swallowed by the crowd, my humiliation complete. Just then, a hush fell as Alexander Sterling himself walked in, casting a long shadow. Brittany, holding my broken ring like a trophy, boasted about punishing the "thief." Then Alex' s eyes found mine, lingering on my mangled hand, and his face contorted with ice-cold fury. He walked straight to me, and with a voice that silenced the room, asked Ethan, "What have you done to my wife?"

Introduction

My wedding day was supposed to be the start of everything.

Three hours after I married my college sweetheart, Ethan Hayes, my world imploded.

He raised his glass for a toast, but instead announced, "This is an end."

Publicly, brutally, he annulled our marriage, leaving me shattered and ridiculed in front of hundreds.

My love, my hope, my very reputation-all destroyed on that glittering ballroom floor.

Five years later, a new, quiet life had begun; I was secretly married to Alexander Sterling, New York' s reclusive tech billionaire.

I thought I was finally safe, finally happy.

Then, I saw Ethan again, with his cruel accomplice, Brittany, their smug faces a painful reminder.

He mocked my simple life, then insultingly offered me a cleaning job.

When I quietly revealed I was married, they erupted in disbelieving laughter.

Brittany snatched the unique signet ring Alex had given me, screaming "Thief!"

Ethan, fearing for his ambitious plans, brutally slapped me, dragging me from the cafe into a dark alley.

He imprisoned me, then, to protect his image, hauled me onto his gala stage, accusing me of stalking.

My life felt ruined all over again, consumed by pain and utter injustice.

In front of society's elite, he twisted my hand with a sickening crunch, deliberately breaking it.

My screamed agony was swallowed by the crowd, my humiliation complete.

Just then, a hush fell as Alexander Sterling himself walked in, casting a long shadow.

Brittany, holding my broken ring like a trophy, boasted about punishing the "thief."

Then Alex' s eyes found mine, lingering on my mangled hand, and his face contorted with ice-cold fury.

He walked straight to me, and with a voice that silenced the room, asked Ethan, "What have you done to my wife?"

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.
