Introduction

My name is Jocelyn Clark, or it was.

Five years ago, my husband, Ethan, sent me away, pregnant and alone, to a forgotten town.

He was obsessed with my sister, Nicole, convinced she was a fragile angel, but she was a viper.

He abandoned me, and then she had me killed.

Now, Nicole's heart is failing, and Ethan's desperate search for a compatible donor leads him back to the dilapidated house where he sent me to die.

He calls, only to have a small, trembling voice answer, "My mom? She passed away. A long time ago."

He dismisses it as a game, storms to the town, and demands to find me, refusing to believe Barney, the old sheriff, who tells him the truth: "Jocelyn is dead. She' s been dead for five years."

Ethan' s arrogance blinds him; he sees conspiracy where there is only tragedy.

He refuses to accept my death or the existence of our son, Matthew, whom he dismisses as a "bastard" and threatens to harm.

His cruel intent escalates until his men dangle our terrified son from a rooftop, a brutal ultimatum for me to reveal myself.

Just as Matthew falls, the DNA report arrives: "He' s your son!"

Simultaneously, word comes: "We found the grave... Jocelyn Clark."

The horrifying truth about my death and our child's paternity crashes down, shattering Ethan' s world.

He thought he was seeking a donor, a wife, but he was condemning his own son.

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.
