My name is Jennifer Smith, and for eight years, I believed I was the luckiest woman alive. I was marrying Ethan, the charismatic musician who' d promised to be my rock, the one who saw past my severe stutter. At our rehearsal dinner, my parents gifted us millions: a trust fund and a historic Beacon Hill brownstone. Then, Ethan' s mother, loud and sharp, mocked my stutter, questioning my ability to speak my own vows. Before I could even react, Ethan, my supposed protector, brazenly addressed my parents. He claimed that due to my "condition," managing such assets would be overwhelming. He suggested all wedding gifts be put under his name, for my own protection and to prevent anxiety that triggered my stutter. My father roared, slamming the table, refusing to make his daughter a business deal. The stress and betrayal were too much; he clutched his chest, gasped, and collapsed onto the floor. My father suffered a heart attack. While he fought for his life in the hospital, Ethan' s mother posted a viral video, painting us as cruel rich people who gave my father a heart attack for refusing to give them money. This malicious lie, going viral as #JusticeForEthan, reached my father's tablet. He saw it, and his heart gave out. In that moment, I knew. They killed him. Grief consumed me, but underneath it, a cold, hard fury solidified. I saw Ethan in the hospital, smirking, already plotting his next move to exploit my father' s death for gain. But he didn't know the game had just fundamentally changed. My father' s funeral would be the beginning of my war.

My name is Jennifer Smith, and for eight years, I believed I was the luckiest woman alive.

I was marrying Ethan, the charismatic musician who' d promised to be my rock, the one who saw past my severe stutter.

At our rehearsal dinner, my parents gifted us millions: a trust fund and a historic Beacon Hill brownstone.

Then, Ethan' s mother, loud and sharp, mocked my stutter, questioning my ability to speak my own vows.

Before I could even react, Ethan, my supposed protector, brazenly addressed my parents.

He claimed that due to my "condition," managing such assets would be overwhelming.

He suggested all wedding gifts be put under his name, for my own protection and to prevent anxiety that triggered my stutter.

My father roared, slamming the table, refusing to make his daughter a business deal.

The stress and betrayal were too much; he clutched his chest, gasped, and collapsed onto the floor.

My father suffered a heart attack.

While he fought for his life in the hospital, Ethan' s mother posted a viral video, painting us as cruel rich people who gave my father a heart attack for refusing to give them money.

This malicious lie, going viral as #JusticeForEthan, reached my father's tablet.

He saw it, and his heart gave out.

In that moment, I knew.

They killed him.

Grief consumed me, but underneath it, a cold, hard fury solidified.

I saw Ethan in the hospital, smirking, already plotting his next move to exploit my father' s death for gain.

But he didn't know the game had just fundamentally changed.

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.
