My relationship with Kevin moved at lightning speed. Soon, we were talking rings, especially with my successful dad's generous offer of $100,000 for a down payment on our first home. But the moment our engagement was announced, the trouble began, all thanks to Kevin's deeply resentful sister-in-law, Jessica. Her jealousy ignited a bitter Facebook campaign, portraying me as a spoiled rich girl who' d never worked a day. Jessica' s petty antics quickly escalated to demanding expensive gifts, culminating in a brazen text asking me to buy her kid a $300 PlayStation. My fiancé, Kevin, simply sighed, shrugging off her entitlement, repeatedly telling me to "just buy it to keep the peace." His spinelessness laid bare his family' s true colors, prompting my own dad to call them "leeches" who were "waiting for a handout." How could the man I was about to marry expect me to bankroll his family's insatiable greed? His chronic inability to protect me, his passive complicity in their endless demands, chilled me to the core. I realized I wasn't just marrying a partner; I was being enlisted as the personal ATM and emotional punching bag in an unending family drama. That agonizing realization was my breaking point. I wouldn't just walk away from this toxic situation. I would turn the tables and ensure they got exactly what they deserved.

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.
