It was our fifth wedding anniversary, but instead of a romantic dinner, I found myself surrounded by my husband Mark's boisterous "bros" at a loud steakhouse. Then, a woman I'd never seen before, Luna, slinked in, claiming to be "like a sister" to Mark, yet pressing against him and flirting brazenly. Mark not only entertained her advances but defended her when she deliberately provoked me, even after I accidentally shattered a water glass in shock. He chose her side, embarrassing me in front of everyone. My blood ran cold as Luna gifted Mark matching wolf cufflinks, a symbol of their secret bond, while dismissively waving off our anniversary. Why was he allowing this public humiliation? Why was he complicit in this blatant disrespect of our marriage? I walked out, and when Mark later came home, still wearing Luna's gift and offering me a peace-offering cake with two pieces missing-the 'H' and 'A' for "Happy Anniversary," which he'd given to Luna-I knew. "I want a divorce, Mark."

It was our fifth wedding anniversary, but instead of a romantic dinner, I found myself surrounded by my husband Mark's boisterous "bros" at a loud steakhouse.

Then, a woman I'd never seen before, Luna, slinked in, claiming to be "like a sister" to Mark, yet pressing against him and flirting brazenly.

Mark not only entertained her advances but defended her when she deliberately provoked me, even after I accidentally shattered a water glass in shock. He chose her side, embarrassing me in front of everyone.

My blood ran cold as Luna gifted Mark matching wolf cufflinks, a symbol of their secret bond, while dismissively waving off our anniversary. Why was he allowing this public humiliation? Why was he complicit in this blatant disrespect of our marriage?

I walked out, and when Mark later came home, still wearing Luna's gift and offering me a peace-offering cake with two pieces missing-the 'H' and 'A' for "Happy Anniversary," which he'd given to Luna-I knew. "I want a divorce, Mark."

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.
