For seven years, my life was a cold, silent prison. My husband, David Chen, the tech world' s golden boy, saw me only as his sister Emily' s murderer. What happened to Emily that day at the lake was an accident, a tragedy. But to David and my adoptive mother, Olivia, it was my fault, a debt I had to pay every single day. My punishment? The hard, cold floor of a barren guest room was my bed. His cruel words, "A murderer doesn't deserve comfort. This is where you belong," echoed in my ears every night. Every month, I would present him with divorce papers, a desperate plea for freedom. And every month, he would tear them, burn them, a grim ritual reminding me there was no escape. Why did they hate me so much? What had I truly done to deserve this unending torment, this life lived as a ghost in a gilded cage? But the constant humiliation, the silent contempt, the pain-it all fueled a secret fire within me. I meticulously saved every penny, selling sketches online, denying myself even basic necessities to afford a one-way train ticket. Tonight, the charade ends. I' m walking away from this living hell, from a man who promised me a life but delivered only a sentence. I' m reclaiming my name, my future, and the woman I was always meant to be.

Introduction

For seven years, my life was a cold, silent prison.

My husband, David Chen, the tech world' s golden boy, saw me only as his sister Emily' s murderer.

What happened to Emily that day at the lake was an accident, a tragedy.

But to David and my adoptive mother, Olivia, it was my fault, a debt I had to pay every single day.

My punishment?

The hard, cold floor of a barren guest room was my bed.

His cruel words, "A murderer doesn't deserve comfort. This is where you belong," echoed in my ears every night.

Every month, I would present him with divorce papers, a desperate plea for freedom.

And every month, he would tear them, burn them, a grim ritual reminding me there was no escape.

Why did they hate me so much?

What had I truly done to deserve this unending torment, this life lived as a ghost in a gilded cage?

But the constant humiliation, the silent contempt, the pain-it all fueled a secret fire within me.

I meticulously saved every penny, selling sketches online, denying myself even basic necessities to afford a one-way train ticket.

Tonight, the charade ends.

I' m walking away from this living hell, from a man who promised me a life but delivered only a sentence.

I' m reclaiming my name, my future, and the woman I was always meant to be.

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.
