I am Echo, born of forgotten children's whispers, and for centuries, I've seen only the transactional nature of human love. A chance at freedom from Purgatory appeared: assume the form of five-year-old Lily for three days. If her brother or mother truly recognized me, I could stay, finally knowing what true connection felt like. But stepping into the vibrant human world as Lily, I became an immediate pawn. Her wealthy brother, Ethan, saw not his sister, but a medical solution-a bone marrow donor for his "real sunflower." He locked me away, labeling me "the donor" and "secured," completely devoid of familial affection. Later, her politically calculating mother, Katherine, eyed me with suspicion, dismissing me as a cruel stunt arranged by her rivals. My every attempt to rekindle their memories-a shared friendship bracelet, a secret four-leaf clover-was met with cold accusations. I was imprisoned, treated as a tool, and nearly forced into a painful medical procedure. During a terrifying earthquake, Ethan abandoned me without a glance; my mother violently shoved me away, convinced I was a political weapon. How could they know all Lily's secrets, her cherished tokens, yet gaze through me as if I were nothing more than an empty shell? The love I craved, the recognition I desperately pursued, seemed to vanish the moment it flickered. My cynicism, once a shield, became a crushing weight; they recognized the symbols, but utterly failed to see the soul. At the stroke of midnight, as my test hung on a thread of their persistent doubt, the true Lily' s spirit appeared. And in that instant, without a single question or a need for proof, Ethan and Katherine recognized her, unconditionally. This pure, undeniable love, transcending physical form, shattered my entire understanding of existence.

Introduction

I am Echo, born of forgotten children's whispers, and for centuries, I've seen only the transactional nature of human love.

A chance at freedom from Purgatory appeared: assume the form of five-year-old Lily for three days.

If her brother or mother truly recognized me, I could stay, finally knowing what true connection felt like.

But stepping into the vibrant human world as Lily, I became an immediate pawn.

Her wealthy brother, Ethan, saw not his sister, but a medical solution-a bone marrow donor for his "real sunflower."

He locked me away, labeling me "the donor" and "secured," completely devoid of familial affection.

Later, her politically calculating mother, Katherine, eyed me with suspicion, dismissing me as a cruel stunt arranged by her rivals.

My every attempt to rekindle their memories-a shared friendship bracelet, a secret four-leaf clover-was met with cold accusations.

I was imprisoned, treated as a tool, and nearly forced into a painful medical procedure.

During a terrifying earthquake, Ethan abandoned me without a glance; my mother violently shoved me away, convinced I was a political weapon.

How could they know all Lily's secrets, her cherished tokens, yet gaze through me as if I were nothing more than an empty shell?

The love I craved, the recognition I desperately pursued, seemed to vanish the moment it flickered.

My cynicism, once a shield, became a crushing weight; they recognized the symbols, but utterly failed to see the soul.

At the stroke of midnight, as my test hung on a thread of their persistent doubt, the true Lily' s spirit appeared.

And in that instant, without a single question or a need for proof, Ethan and Katherine recognized her, unconditionally.

This pure, undeniable love, transcending physical form, shattered my entire understanding of existence.

Now, faced with this profound truth and an unimaginable choice, my story-and theirs-was destined for a miraculous, unforeseen path.

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.
