It's sunday morning,remembering I have brunch with my high school friends, stella and issac and hilda,yea ,I still keep in touch with my friends.we were the notorious JOSEPHINA'S.

I did my morning routines,got dressed and head to the house.

Entering their yard I saw issac setting the dishes.

"Hey issac." I greeted.

"Oh hi,eve, honey someone is here to see you".issac shouted.

Issac has really changed,normally he is the quiet type,now he is muscular and he has freckles.

"Don't tell me it's the gardener,I told him am not paying after he destroyed my flowers.....eve!,it you". stella trailed off pulling me to a tight hug.

"You are early.come on let go and set things up,I can't wait". Stella squeal.

I saw hilda,the chaterbox of the school.it was amazing to see some of us again. We had the brunch at their porch,the design is magnificent of course done by stella herself,she is a interior designer and issac is an engineer.

Their house is bungalow and very clean and beautiful.

"This is amazing food,what is is it called again?"I asked.

"Jollof rice,if you want to taste Africa food you can joins us there".

"Oh I don't know going to Africa for food is a waste of money".I countered.

"But fun right?.stella added.

"So I finally got a job as a PA". I say changing the topic.

"That's nice so we can say we are hardworking people". We talked and joke about works.

I decided to change the topic.

"So,you and issac are engaged,so when is your wedding?".

"Yea,it's been a year". Hilda added.

"Well,issac and I decided to have two weddings,one at my country and here,and it is a lot of money,we are saving and patient". Stella answered.

"And we will go to California to start a new life".Issac added.

"That's nice".

"What about you hilda,how is jeff?issac asked.

"He is fine,he will soon be back and when he is,we will go to paris and start a new life". Hilda replied.

"You really want to go to paris,don't you?". I asked.

"Yes, the reason I didn't go was because I was going to be lonely,but jeff there it will be amazing".hilda replies.

"Look at us,planning on our next adventure and new life". Stella squeal.

"What about you eve,you have someone in your life?".

"No".

Yea,am pretty,but no one comes to me and I like it that way and am also thankful that they didn't push. Then the rest of the time was silent and peaceful and it was killing me.

"I wish the whole gang were here".issac said out of the blues.

"Yea,tasha,ollie,albert,patrick and sandy". Hilda added.

"I guessed they have a new life?".I asked.

"Yes,albert is a famous artist,pat is a model now,also tasha and ollie are business woman and they are not in good terms".stella added.

"Really,the two best friends who always flaunt their wealth and rule the school are enemies".

"Business made it that way".issac says.

"I guess,but the four are gonna be okay".hilda says.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
