My fiancé of seven years, the heir to a mafia dynasty, claimed amnesia three weeks before our wedding, forgetting only me. Then I overheard him laughing on a video call, calling it the perfect "hall pass" to sleep with an influencer before he was tied down. He flaunted his affair, abandoned me with a broken arm after a staged car crash to save her from a scratch, and planned to leave me homeless. He called me his "property," a doll he could play with and put back on the shelf when he was done. He thought I'd be waiting for his "miraculous recovery." Instead, I disappeared, leaving behind his ring and a simple note: "I remember everything. Me too."

Chapter 1

Ava POV:

The man I've loved for seven years claims to have amnesia, forgetting only me-until I hear him on a video call, laughing about how it's the perfect hall pass to fuck an influencer before our wedding.

My fingers trace the delicate lace of the veil spread across our bed. It's part of a wedding ensemble that costs more than my first car. A symbol. Not of love, but of a seven-year political engagement meant to unite two of the city's most powerful families. A perfect union. A perfect life.

Except Ethan Reed, my fiancé and the heir to the Reed family dynasty, doesn't remember any of it. He says he doesn't.

Three weeks ago, he took a minor head injury. A fall during a sparring session, his Underboss, Leo, told me with a straight face. It supposedly wiped his memory. Selectively. He remembered his name, his family, his role as the Don-in-waiting. He just didn't remember me.

I'd spent every day since trying to piece him back together. Our penthouse apartment has become a museum of our love, or what I thought was our love. Photos line the walls. I play the obscure indie song that was supposed to be our first dance on a loop, hoping a single note might unlock something inside him.

"It's catchy," was all he'd said yesterday, his eyes distant, cold.

I refused to give up. The families were counting on this. I was counting on this. This union wasn't just a marriage; it was a treaty. A way to end a silent war before it began.

My best friend and lawyer, Maya Rodriguez-my own personal Consigliere-had warned me. "This stinks, Ava. A head injury that only erases his fiancée? It sounds like a plot from a bad soap opera, not a medical diagnosis."

I'd brushed her off. I had to. Hope was all I had left.

Tonight, looking for an old photo album in his home office, I find the door slightly ajar. His laptop is open on the desk, a video call still active. And then I hear it. A sound I haven't heard in weeks.

Ethan's laugh. A deep, genuine, arrogant laugh.

I freeze. My hand on the doorknob.

"She's buying the whole thing," Ethan's voice booms, full of smug satisfaction. He's talking to Leo. "Plays our song all day. Stares at me with those big, sad eyes. It's almost pathetic."

My stomach clenches. My breath catches in my throat.

"You're a bastard, Ethan," Leo says, but he's laughing too. "Just for Chloe Vance? Is she really worth this kind of drama?"

Chloe Vance. The influencer with millions of followers and a body built by surgery and ambition. An Associate of the family, useful for laundering money through her brands, but not one of us. Never one of us.

"It's a temporary hall pass, man," Ethan says, leaning back in his chair, the leather groaning in protest. "Family protocol, the engagement, the Omertà... it's a fucking cage. This 'amnesia' is my key. I get a few months of freedom, and right before the wedding season kicks into high gear, I'll have a miraculous recovery."

Omertà. The sacred code of silence. It was the first rule we were taught as children. Never speak of family business to outsiders. Never bring shame upon the family name through public indiscretion. It was the foundation of our entire world, the glue that held the families together. And he was using it as an excuse to cheat, twisting its meaning to build his own cage of lies.

He takes a sip of whiskey, the ice clinking in his glass. "Ava will be so relieved she'll forgive anything. She has to. She's my property. It's all part of the deal."

The words hit me like a physical blow, sucking the air from my lungs. My entire world, the seven years of devotion, the future I'd staked my life on-it was all a lie. A game. A fucking hall pass.

The love in my heart curdles into something cold and sharp. The grief is so immense it feels like a black hole, but on the other side of it, a plan begins to form. A cold, hard, beautiful plan.

I slowly, silently, pull the door shut. The click of the latch is the sound of a cage door closing, but this time, he's the one inside it. He just doesn't know it yet.

He thinks I'm his property. He thinks I'm a pawn in his game.

Fine. I'll play along. But when this is over, he won't be the one who wins.

For five years, my husband Damian fed me a bitter daily "tonic," claiming it was to help my fragile health. He told the entire pack I was a "withered wolf," too broken to shift and too barren to give him an heir. I believed him, until the new nanny walked in wearing my silk robe, smelling of my perfume and his sweat. Damian didn't even try to hide it. He demanded I sign a check to support his mistress's five children, sneering that since my womb was a "graveyard," I should pay for his legacy. He planned to humiliate me publicly at the Medical Summit, using me as a case study of failure to legitimize his illegitimate brood. But he made a fatal mistake. He thought I was too weak to check the books. My loyal Beta brought me the truth just hours before the speech. The tonic wasn't medicine; it was Wolfsbane, designed to suppress my Alpha wolf. And the infertility? It wasn't me. Medical records proved Damian had a vasectomy weeks before our wedding. He had been poisoning me and gaslighting me for half a decade to steal my fortune. I injected a dangerous stimulant to clear the fog and crashed his stage. I didn't just expose his sterility to the world; I stripped him of his rank and exiled him as a Rogue. As security dragged the screaming traitor away, a scent hit me—thunderstorms and raw, terrifying power. Alistair Finch, the most dangerous Alpha on the coast, rose from the VIP section. He walked straight to me, sparks flying as he touched my skin. "He is nothing," Alistair growled, pulling me into his arms. "And you are finally Mine."

The screen on Ethan's phone glowed, showing a missed video call from his sister, Sarah. He swiped to check the voicemail, but it wasn't a message; the call had connected, and his phone had recorded what happened next. The shaky video revealed his sister' s office, but a woman he didn't recognize, Jessica Riley, sat in Sarah's chair, laughing with his brother-in-law, Mark Thompson, as they mocked Sarah's supposed foolishness. Then the camera moved, revealing Sarah herself, curled on the floor, her hair matted, clothes in rags, a metal chain around her neck, and an empty dog bowl beside her. Jessica cooed, "Time for dinner, sweetie," kicking the bowl, while Mark dropped bread, saying, "Eat up, doggy." Ethan watched in horror as his brilliant sister scrambled for food like a starved animal. A cold rage seized him, cracking his phone screen, and with a dangerously calm voice, he called his assistant: "Get the jet. We're going home. Now." Landing in the US, Ethan found his childhood home overgrown and dreary. Kicking the door open, he discovered Sarah chained to a radiator, skeletal and terrified, whimpering at his approach. This was his sister, treated like an animal in her own home. Mark, Brenda, and Jessica appeared, feigning concern, claiming Sarah was "unstable" and producing forged medical diagnoses, trying to dismiss the horrific scene with a piece of paper. Ethan' s control finally snapped. He knew Sarah' s strength, her intelligence; this cruelty was inflicted upon her. He watched as Mark, arrogant and unrepentant, tried to silence Sarah's weak confession of forced signatures. When Mark raised a hand to strike her, Ethan intervened, his grip like steel, "Don't you ever touch her again." Mark spouted lies, accusing Sarah of ruining the company, blaming her for the bruises and injuries that covered her body. The scene escalated as Ethan, blood boiling, called his assistant, David, who arrived with a team of men. He ordered Mark, Brenda, and Jessica secured, stating, "You are a parasite, Mark. And you own nothing," before hitting him. Mark, still defiant, claimed control of Hayes Innovations and the board. Ethan calmly directed David to search the house for evidence, then gently unclipped Sarah, scooping her into his arms. She was light as a child, trembling, whispering, "He'll hurt you. He'll hurt us both." Ethan vowed, "He has no idea what I'm capable of." He saw the raw marks on her neck, fueled by fresh fury. Sarah huddled in his jacket, whispering how Mark had gaslighted her with fake videos. Ethan knew the videos were lies. Kneeling, he gently told her, "We're going to your office." When she panicked, terrified of Jessica, he reassured her, "It's time for everyone to see the real CEO of Hayes Innovations." With a flicker of her old self, an almost imperceptible nod, she agreed. He left the villains secured, telling David to find every piece of evidence they had used against her. Holding Sarah's hand, he led her out, ready to fight.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
