Kathrine Woods was headed to Fayetteville, a small town in Tennessee where everybody knows everybody. This small town was full of surprises, and Kathrine Woods would be one of them.... they thought murder was the worst thing that could happen. They were dead wrong. Do you know your neighbor?

Chapter 1 No.1

#Prologue

Derrick walked underneath the neon lights of the movie theater as he held Kathrine's hand. His sharp edge of a jawline emerged from the opening of his dark blue hoodie; he didn't want anyone to see him. Kathrine was willingly holding his hand even though she didn't know exactly who Derrick Colten was. She had just moved into town two weeks ago and was glad to be making friends. She was worried that moving at this stage in high school would ruin every dream she ever had. But with Derrick, she liked the way he looked, the way he talked. She felt like it was somehow a reminder of home. "Maybe this could be more, " she thought.

The only thing on her mind was Derrick. Because in this moment, all she knew was that he was warm. His hands weren't rough as he rubbed her thumb with his. It felt right... but it wasn't. Derrick had Kathrine blocked on all social media and told her he didn't have it. He didn't want Kathrine to see all of his pictures with Natalie. Kathrine was the blonde that Derrick always wanted, not for a relationship but for a night.

Kathrine Woods was a gorgeous girl. Blue eyes. Full lips. She didn't need makeup, but she still liked it. She had even considered starting a makeup blog. At the least, she would always keep lipgloss on. Her height was just under 6 feet, just short of Derrick's 6'3". She always wore a hand full of simple rings, and made sure her white converse shoes matched everything.

Derrick took Kathrine behind the green restaurant on the top of the hill where he had parked his car. He got into the driver's seat; she got into the passenger seat, but not for long. Kathrine was attracted to Derrick, but she wasn't that girl. She had caught onto at least one thing about Derrick: he wanted something she wasn't going to give.

He was cheating on Natalie and Kathrine had no idea. She also had no idea what other secrets were in this town. This new small town was full of surprises, and she would be one of them.

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 spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
