Chapter 1 Coffee shop encounter

Chapter 1: The Coffee Shop Encounter

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee permeated the air, mingling with the chatter of patrons and the hiss of the espresso machine. It was a typical morning at the quaint little cafe where I worked, but amidst the hustle and bustle, there was a sense of tranquility that settled over me as I prepared orders behind the counter.

My hazel eyes flickered with a mixture of exhaustion and determination, a reflection of the struggles I faced in my daily life. Raised in a struggling family, I had grown accustomed to the harsh realities of life, but the cafe provided a temporary escape-a sanctuary where I could lose myself in the rhythmic motions of brewing coffee and serving customers.

As I wiped down the counter, I caught sight of a familiar figure entering the cafe. Dane. With his tousled blonde hair and easy smile, he exuded an effortless charm that never failed to captivate me. Despite my attempts to remain composed, my heart quickened at the sight of him, and I couldn't help but steal glances whenever I could.

Dane approached the counter with a confident stride, his eyes lighting up as he caught sight of me. "Good morning," he greeted, his voice warm and inviting. "The usual, please."

I nodded, feeling a rush of excitement at the prospect of interacting with him. With practiced efficiency, I prepared his order, my hands moving deftly as I poured steamed milk into the espresso cup and added a swirl of caramel syrup.

As Dane waited for his coffee, our eyes met in a silent exchange that spoke volumes. There was an undeniable chemistry between us, a connection that seemed to transcend the boundaries of our brief encounters. Despite the chaos of the cafe, it felt as though time stood still as we shared a moment of connection.

"Here you go," I said, handing him his drink with a shy smile.

"Thanks," Dane replied, his gaze lingering on my face for a moment longer than necessary. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

I nodded, feeling a sense of warmth spread through me at the thought of seeing him again. "Of course."

With a final nod, Dane left the cafe, leaving me to ponder the significance of our encounter. Little did I know, our brief interaction would set into motion a chain of events that would change the course of my life forever.

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.
