The shovel struck the dirt above me. A dull, wet thud. It was my grave, and I was floating above it, watching. My ex-girlfriend, Ava, was there, livestreaming to thousands. "We're doing this for Liam," she announced, her voice tight with artificial conviction. Beside her, my former best friend, Liam Davis, grunted, driving the shovel deeper. He was performing, for Ava, for the camera, for the lies he' d spun for five years about me haunting him. Then, he unearthed my pine coffin. The crowbar pried it open, revealing the horrific claw marks-my claw marks-inside the lid. But also, my diary. Ava, pale and trembling, pulled it from the mud. She began to read my words, words that told of my love for her, of Liam's escalating cruelty, not mine. Yet, she still clung to his narrative, selectively reading to justify her actions. He' d almost poisoned me. He tried to murder me. The truth, stark and undeniable, spilled from the pages. Then, my mother arrived. She didn't just expose Liam's lies about an old fight; she revealed a truth that shattered Ava' s world: I was going to donate my kidney to save her life. The man she' d desecrated, the monster she' d paraded online, was her silent savior. Struck by a blinding guilt, Ava unearthed the diary's final, blood-stained entry. My last words. "Ava. Liam did this. I love yo-" Unfinished. The truth was absolute: Liam had not only framed me, he had buried me alive. A raw scream tore from Ava' s throat. The tears that followed were years too late, but they ignited a terrifying purpose. She would make him pay.

Introduction

The shovel struck the dirt above me.

A dull, wet thud.

It was my grave, and I was floating above it, watching.

My ex-girlfriend, Ava, was there, livestreaming to thousands.

"We're doing this for Liam," she announced, her voice tight with artificial conviction.

Beside her, my former best friend, Liam Davis, grunted, driving the shovel deeper.

He was performing, for Ava, for the camera, for the lies he' d spun for five years about me haunting him.

Then, he unearthed my pine coffin.

The crowbar pried it open, revealing the horrific claw marks-my claw marks-inside the lid.

But also, my diary.

Ava, pale and trembling, pulled it from the mud.

She began to read my words, words that told of my love for her, of Liam's escalating cruelty, not mine.

Yet, she still clung to his narrative, selectively reading to justify her actions.

He' d almost poisoned me.

He tried to murder me.

The truth, stark and undeniable, spilled from the pages.

Then, my mother arrived.

She didn't just expose Liam's lies about an old fight; she revealed a truth that shattered Ava' s world: I was going to donate my kidney to save her life.

The man she' d desecrated, the monster she' d paraded online, was her silent savior.

Struck by a blinding guilt, Ava unearthed the diary's final, blood-stained entry.

My last words.

"Ava. Liam did this. I love yo-"

Unfinished.

The truth was absolute: Liam had not only framed me, he had buried me alive.

A raw scream tore from Ava' s throat.

The tears that followed were years too late, but they ignited a terrifying purpose.

She would make him pay.

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.
