My husband, Ethan, had 99 affairs in our ten years of marriage, and I knew about every single one. His promise to have a child only with me was the silent agreement, the sole thread holding our lavish life together. But when the 100th mistress, a barista named Molly Chavez, turned up pregnant, everything changed. On our tenth anniversary, instead of a celebration, I found Ethan pleading with Molly in a parking lot, a blank check in his hand, as her baby bump was subtly visible. Molly, with a smirk for me, tore the check, declaring, "I don't want your money, Ethan. I want you to leave me alone. The baby is my responsibility, and you are free." He looked at her as if she'd hung the moon, completely captivated, while I, his wife, stood forgotten. Then, Ethan came home, promising to finally start the family we' d always discussed, urging IVF immediately. Hope, a stupid, stubborn thing, made me agree despite every red flag. But as I drifted under anesthesia for egg retrieval, I heard his voice, cold and smug: "Once Elyse is pregnant, Molly will have no choice but to move in. This secures everything." That stupid, stubborn hope died right there, a silent death. What had I truly married, and what twisted game was he playing with my body, my future, and my heart? I knew then: my time of tolerance was over.

Introduction

My husband, Ethan, had 99 affairs in our ten years of marriage, and I knew about every single one.

His promise to have a child only with me was the silent agreement, the sole thread holding our lavish life together.

But when the 100th mistress, a barista named Molly Chavez, turned up pregnant, everything changed.

On our tenth anniversary, instead of a celebration, I found Ethan pleading with Molly in a parking lot, a blank check in his hand, as her baby bump was subtly visible.

Molly, with a smirk for me, tore the check, declaring, "I don't want your money, Ethan. I want you to leave me alone. The baby is my responsibility, and you are free."

He looked at her as if she'd hung the moon, completely captivated, while I, his wife, stood forgotten.

Then, Ethan came home, promising to finally start the family we' d always discussed, urging IVF immediately.

Hope, a stupid, stubborn thing, made me agree despite every red flag.

But as I drifted under anesthesia for egg retrieval, I heard his voice, cold and smug: "Once Elyse is pregnant, Molly will have no choice but to move in. This secures everything."

That stupid, stubborn hope died right there, a silent death.

What had I truly married, and what twisted game was he playing with my body, my future, and my heart?

I knew then: my time of tolerance was over.

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.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
