The cold knife twisted in my chest, a shocking contrast to the warmth of my own blood soaking through my shirt. My wife, Nicole, stood over me, her face a mess of drunken rage and tears. "It' s all your fault," she screamed, blaming me for her childhood friend Ryan' s suicide years ago – the man she truly loved. As the world faded to black, the last thing I saw was her face, twisted with a grief that had never been for me. The pain was unbearable, the betrayal absolute, yet I died knowing she never truly loved me, only the phantom of a lost love. Then, a sudden jolt, and sunlight streamed through my familiar bedroom window. My chest was whole, no blood, no pain. The date on my phone stared back: the morning of my Juilliard audition, the same day as Ryan's state championship game. I was back, given an impossible second chance to prevent my own murder. This time, the mistake wouldn' t be stopping Nicole from going to Ryan; it would be loving Nicole at all. My phone buzzed with her text, "Love you! <3", but all I felt was the chilling memory of a blade. I was going to save myself.

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.
