I used to believe in a different kind of love, the kind that didn' t need rings or licenses, just unwavering trust. Mark, the charismatic tech mogul, promised me that. So I, a painter, poured my soul into building a home for him and our son, Leo, setting my own dreams aside. Then, at Leo' s christening, a woman appeared, dressed in black, her eyes locked on Mark with an unsettling intensity. She dropped a silver ring, identical to the "family heirloom" Mark wore every day. And inside, the engraving shattered my world: "M+S, Forever." My own parents, fearing a broken home, pressured me to return to him, twisting the knife of humiliation with their forced forgiveness. Mark, the master manipulator, even staged a public "break-up" with Sarah, his mistress, claiming she was a fragile friend he had to ditch for me. But within minutes, an urgent call from her sent him running back to her side, leaving me and Leo abandoned once more. How could I have been so blind, so naive? Was I just a convenient placeholder, an incubator for the heir he truly wanted? The betrayal was soul-deep, a raw, burning wound-but it was also a spark. As I packed to leave him for good, a wave of nausea hit me. Two pink lines. I was pregnant again, shackled to him more tightly than ever, but this time, the crushing pain fueled an ice-cold resolve.

Introduction

I used to believe in a different kind of love, the kind that didn' t need rings or licenses, just unwavering trust.

Mark, the charismatic tech mogul, promised me that.

So I, a painter, poured my soul into building a home for him and our son, Leo, setting my own dreams aside.

Then, at Leo' s christening, a woman appeared, dressed in black, her eyes locked on Mark with an unsettling intensity.

She dropped a silver ring, identical to the "family heirloom" Mark wore every day.

And inside, the engraving shattered my world: "M+S, Forever."

My own parents, fearing a broken home, pressured me to return to him, twisting the knife of humiliation with their forced forgiveness.

Mark, the master manipulator, even staged a public "break-up" with Sarah, his mistress, claiming she was a fragile friend he had to ditch for me.

But within minutes, an urgent call from her sent him running back to her side, leaving me and Leo abandoned once more.

How could I have been so blind, so naive?

Was I just a convenient placeholder, an incubator for the heir he truly wanted?

The betrayal was soul-deep, a raw, burning wound-but it was also a spark.

As I packed to leave him for good, a wave of nausea hit me.

Two pink lines.

I was pregnant again, shackled to him more tightly than ever, but this time, the crushing pain fueled an ice-cold resolve.

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.
