The last thing I saw was my sister Chloe' s cold, satisfied smile as the wrench came down, followed by an explosion of pain and darkness. She whispered, "She knew too much. She was always in the way." Then, nothing. I was dead, brutally murdered by my own sister because I stumbled upon her insane scheme to impersonate a missing socialite for money. But then, I gasped, sitting bolt upright in my narrow bed. Sunlight filtered through my grimy window. I was alive. It was June 14th, the day it all began, the day that, in another life, ended with my murder. My heart hammered, my head throbbed. I' d seen the blood, the callousness of my sister, and the boundless greed of my parents previously. Last time, I had tried to reason with her, and it got me killed. This time, things would be different. A chilling calm settled deep inside me. Chloe wanted to play a dangerous game? Fine. I wouldn' t stop her. I would watch her step right into the fire she was so eager to light. When her knock came, saccharine sweet, I took a steadying breath. "Coming," I called out. "Okay, Chloe," I said, a faint, cold smile touching my lips as I opened the door. She had no idea.

Introduction

The last thing I saw was my sister Chloe' s cold, satisfied smile as the wrench came down, followed by an explosion of pain and darkness.

She whispered, "She knew too much.

She was always in the way."

Then, nothing.

I was dead, brutally murdered by my own sister because I stumbled upon her insane scheme to impersonate a missing socialite for money.

But then, I gasped, sitting bolt upright in my narrow bed.

Sunlight filtered through my grimy window.

I was alive.

It was June 14th, the day it all began, the day that, in another life, ended with my murder.

My heart hammered, my head throbbed.

I' d seen the blood, the callousness of my sister, and the boundless greed of my parents previously.

Last time, I had tried to reason with her, and it got me killed.

This time, things would be different.

A chilling calm settled deep inside me.

Chloe wanted to play a dangerous game?

Fine.

I wouldn' t stop her.

I would watch her step right into the fire she was so eager to light.

When her knock came, saccharine sweet, I took a steadying breath.

"Coming," I called out.

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.
