The air in the conference room was thick with failure, but I' d checked the system a dozen times-someone had tampered with it. Then, Sarah, my wife and CEO, her eyes like polished stones, fired me in front of the entire board. She handed my team, my department, my life' s work, over to Mark, her sniveling assistant who I just realized had sabotaged me. "You' re fired," she stated, her voice devoid of emotion, as if our years, our dreams, meant nothing. The humiliation was a physical weight, heavier than the knowledge that this woman, my partner, had just betrayed everything we built. As she put a comforting hand on Mark' s shoulder, a cold calm settled over me. She wanted my life' s work? The patented algorithm that powered her entire company? "Fine," I said, before initiating a full data wipe of every personal file on the company servers. I left, not with the car she' d called for me, but with one my brother had arranged. Now, my lawyer says her company is running on stolen tech. My brother, David, is the lead investor she didn' t even know about, and he' s not happy. Sarah' s company, built on my genius, is a house of cards. And I' m about to watch it fall.

Introduction

The air in the conference room was thick with failure, but I' d checked the system a dozen times-someone had tampered with it.

Then, Sarah, my wife and CEO, her eyes like polished stones, fired me in front of the entire board.

She handed my team, my department, my life' s work, over to Mark, her sniveling assistant who I just realized had sabotaged me.

"You' re fired," she stated, her voice devoid of emotion, as if our years, our dreams, meant nothing.

The humiliation was a physical weight, heavier than the knowledge that this woman, my partner, had just betrayed everything we built.

As she put a comforting hand on Mark' s shoulder, a cold calm settled over me.

She wanted my life' s work? The patented algorithm that powered her entire company?

"Fine," I said, before initiating a full data wipe of every personal file on the company servers.

I left, not with the car she' d called for me, but with one my brother had arranged.

Now, my lawyer says her company is running on stolen tech.

My brother, David, is the lead investor she didn' t even know about, and he' s not happy.

Sarah' s company, built on my genius, is a house of cards.

And I' m about to watch it fall.

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.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
