At my husband's nephew's christening, I saw him across the ballroom holding a newborn with another woman. I was four months pregnant with his heir, but he was presenting her son as his own. He had built a criminal empire, and our marriage was a strategic alliance. But now, the men who toasted our wedding were congratulating him on another woman's child, their gazes sliding right past me. My mother confirmed my worst fears: he'd been paying for his mistress's apartment for months. His mistress, Selena, cornered me, her voice dripping with venom. "He chose me. And our son." The stress brought on sharp, agonizing cramps, but when my husband, Dante, rushed over, he took her side. "Calm down," he commanded. "You're making a scene." He accused me of being hysterical, of cornering his fragile mistress who had just given birth. Through a haze of pain, I watched him shield her from me, his wife, telling me to go home and "be rational." The public humiliation was absolute. In the lawyer's office, Selena slapped me, then knocked over her own baby's carrier and screamed that I had attacked her child. Dante believed her without question. As I collapsed from the pain, the last thing I saw was his back as he walked away with his new family. I woke up in the hospital. He arrived with his mistress, not to see if I was okay, but to demand I apologize to her. That was the moment the woman he married died. And in her place, someone new was born.

He had built a criminal empire, and our marriage was a strategic alliance. But now, the men who toasted our wedding were congratulating him on another woman's child, their gazes sliding right past me. My mother confirmed my worst fears: he'd been paying for his mistress's apartment for months.

His mistress, Selena, cornered me, her voice dripping with venom. "He chose me. And our son." The stress brought on sharp, agonizing cramps, but when my husband, Dante, rushed over, he took her side. "Calm down," he commanded. "You're making a scene."

Chapter 1

Seraphina POV:

The crystal chandeliers of the ballroom felt like they were weeping light onto the scene of my life's demolition. I saw my husband, Dante Moretti, from across the room.

He wasn't looking at me. His gaze was fixed on the newborn cradled in another woman's arms, a look of paternal tenderness on his face I had only ever dreamed of receiving.

This was his nephew's christening. I was four months pregnant with his heir, the child meant to solidify the alliance between my family's old money and his burgeoning criminal empire.

I was supposed to be at his side, the picture of the perfect Underboss's wife. Instead, I was a ghost at my own party, watching him present another woman's son as his own.

The men who had toasted our wedding, their faces slick with false respect, now swarmed him and his new family. Their eyes slid past me, my swollen belly, as if I were nothing more than a piece of furniture.

My hand shook as I found a secluded alcove and dialed my mother.

"Sera? What is it?" her voice was sharp, cutting through my panic.

"He's here," I whispered, the words catching in my throat. "With her. And a baby."

There was a glacial silence on the other end. "That bastard," my mother, Elizabeth Hayes, finally hissed. "I knew it. My sources confirmed it this morning. He's been paying for her apartment for the last eight months."

The confirmation was a physical blow, stealing the air from my lungs. He hadn't just cheated. He had built a second life on a foundation of my money and his lies.

"He told me I was being paranoid," a raw, ugly sob escaped my lips. "That it was just the pregnancy hormones."

"You are a Hayes, Seraphina," her voice turned to steel. "You are not a victim. Do not confront him. Not yet. We will handle this."

I ended the call, a cold resolve beginning to crystallize in the pit of my stomach. Handle this? No. I would do more than handle this. I would burn his world to the ground. Just as I took a step out from behind the floral arrangement, a voice, dripping with saccharine sweetness, stopped me.

"Seraphina? You look so pale."

It was her. Selena Cole. She stood before me, a perfect picture of maternal radiance, her eyes glittering with a vicious, undisguised triumph.

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.

I'm a moaning mess as Antonio slams into me from behind. His hips hit me hard, and each deep thrust sends shockwaves through my body. My breasts bounce with every movement, my eyes roll back, and I moan his name without control. The pleasure he gives me is overwhelming-I can't hold it in. I feel my walls tighten around his thick length. The pressure builds fast, and then- I explode around him, my orgasm tearing through me. He groans loud and deep as he releases inside me, his hot seed spilling into me in thick pulses. Just when I think he's done, his grip shifts. He turns me over and lays me flat on the bed. His dark eyes stare into mine for a moment, filled with raw hunger. I glance down- He's still hard. Before I can react, he grabs my wrists, pins me down, and pushes himself inside me again. He fills me completely. My hips rise on instinct, meeting his rhythm. Our bodies move together, locked in a wild, uncontrollable dance. "You're fucking sweet," he groans, his voice rough and breathless. "I can't get enough of you... not after that night, Sol," he growls, slamming into me harder. The force of his words and his thrusts make my body shake. "Come for me," he commands, his voice low and full of heat. And just like that, my body trembles. Waves of pleasure crash over me. I cry out, shaking with the force of my orgasm. "Mine," he growls again, louder this time. His voice is feral, wild, like a beast claiming what belongs to him. The sound sends a shiver down my spine. *** Solene was betrayed, humiliated, and erased by Rowan Brook, the man she once called husband, Solene is left with nothing but her name and a burning hunger for revenge.

And when the truth comes out, will Antonio still choose her... or destroy her?
