My life was perfect, filled with the laughter of my five-year-old twins, Noah and Mia. We were building a couch fort, our own little world. Then, her Tesla pulled into the driveway. Chloe, my estranged wife, brought not just herself, but Leo, her old high school flame, into our home. When my innocent children stood up to the stranger, Chloe' s temper flared. "You two need a timeout," she snapped, dragging them, whimpering, into the soundproof wine cellar. My gut screamed, but she slammed the heavy door, the lock clicking shut. I begged, I pleaded, pounding on the door, while from the living room, I heard Chloe's laughter with Leo. Then, seeing Leo's Instagram post – an ultrasound of their baby – shattered me. A new life, while mine were trapped. My desperate efforts to rescue Noah and Mia came too late. The cellar was silent. Too silent. I found them, blue-faced, unbreathing, an open bag of nuts nearby. Their severe peanut allergy. My world ended. And Chloe? She shrieked, accusing me of drama. At the hospital, after the doctor confirmed they were gone, she called, furious I' d ruined her evening. Later, she laughed in my face when I told her, believing it was a pathetic manipulation. My children, who loved her unconditionally, were dead because of her cruelty, and she didn't even care. How could a mother be so utterly devoid of humanity? The cremation was quiet, just me, their paternal uncle, and my father-in-law. But a few hours later, I walked into the house to the sounds of my wife having sex with Leo. She saw the urns in my hands and dismissed them as "junk." That was it. My love, my family, my life – all irrevocably destroyed by the woman I married. With Mia's drawing of "our family" clutched in my hand, I signed the divorce papers and began to disappear.

Introduction

My life was perfect, filled with the laughter of my five-year-old twins, Noah and Mia.

We were building a couch fort, our own little world.

Then, her Tesla pulled into the driveway.

Chloe, my estranged wife, brought not just herself, but Leo, her old high school flame, into our home.

When my innocent children stood up to the stranger, Chloe' s temper flared.

"You two need a timeout," she snapped, dragging them, whimpering, into the soundproof wine cellar.

My gut screamed, but she slammed the heavy door, the lock clicking shut.

I begged, I pleaded, pounding on the door, while from the living room, I heard Chloe's laughter with Leo.

Then, seeing Leo's Instagram post – an ultrasound of their baby – shattered me.

A new life, while mine were trapped.

My desperate efforts to rescue Noah and Mia came too late.

The cellar was silent.

Too silent.

I found them, blue-faced, unbreathing, an open bag of nuts nearby.

Their severe peanut allergy.

My world ended.

And Chloe?

She shrieked, accusing me of drama.

At the hospital, after the doctor confirmed they were gone, she called, furious I' d ruined her evening.

Later, she laughed in my face when I told her, believing it was a pathetic manipulation.

My children, who loved her unconditionally, were dead because of her cruelty, and she didn't even care.

How could a mother be so utterly devoid of humanity?

The cremation was quiet, just me, their paternal uncle, and my father-in-law.

But a few hours later, I walked into the house to the sounds of my wife having sex with Leo.

She saw the urns in my hands and dismissed them as "junk."

That was it.

My love, my family, my life – all irrevocably destroyed by the woman I married.

With Mia's drawing of "our family" clutched in my hand, I signed the divorce papers and began to disappear.

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.
