To the public, she was the CEO's executive secretary. Behind closed doors, she was the wife he never officially acknowledged. Jenessa was elated when she learned that she was pregnant. But that joy was replaced with dread as her husband, Ryan, showered his affections on his first love. With a heavy heart, she chose to set him free and leave. When they met again, Ryan's attention was caught by Jenessa's protruding belly. "Whose child are you carrying?!" he demanded. But she only scoffed. "It's none of your business, my dear ex-husband!"

Chapter 1 She Doesn't Deserve That

"Come to Imodon Hotel."

After reading the message from her husband Ryan Haynes, Jenessa Wright rushed to the hotel.

The entrance was filled with colors. A new red carpet gleamed, and flowers overflowed from every corner. It was clearly a celebration of some kind.

Today was their marriage anniversary. Was Ryan planning a surprise? A shy smile tugged at Jenessa's lips as she retrieved the crumpled checkup report from her purse. She was pregnant. Her heart overflowed with a sweetness that threatened to spill.

This was the perfect moment to tell Ryan. She wondered how he would react.

Butterflies danced in her stomach as she entered the bustling hotel.

The celebration hall was a crowded buzz. In the center stood Ryan, his tall figure radiating a confidence that always made her knees weak.

He was her husband, the soon-to-be father of their child.

Jenessa approached him, a joyful greeting on her lips. "Ryan!"

Ryan whirled around, his smile dissolving into a chilling frown. "Jenessa? Why are you here?"

The warmth in her chest evaporated. "Didn't you ask me to come?"

He scowled, a crease forming between his brows. "No. When would I have done that?"

Panic clawed at Jenessa's throat. Just then, a woman in a designer dress sashayed up to Ryan and gently linked arms with him. "Ryan, don't be so harsh on our guest."

Jenessa's blood ran cold.

It was Maisie Powell, Ryan's first love!

When did Maisie return? Why was she never told?

"Actually, it was I who invited Jenessa," Maisie purred, her gaze flickering to Ryan.

Jenessa's head spun.

Ryan guarded his phone like a hawk, yet Maisie could send messages from it? A bitter taste filled Jenessa's mouth. "I..." Jenessa stammered, unsure of what to say.

Maisie released Ryan and held Jenessa's hand, saying softly, "I had just come back and Ryan threw this lovely party for my return. When I saw you weren't here, I took the liberty of inviting you."

Maisie's smiling face was met with Jenessa's confused gaze. "Why the glum face? Don't you want me back?" asked Maisie.

"No, it's not that. I was just a little surprised," Jenessa choked out, the words heavy on her tongue.

Maisie's smile remained unfazed. She snagged a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and offered it to Jenessa.

"Come, Jenessa, it's been ages since we last met. Cheers to my return."

Jenessa stared at the offered glass, her hand hovering in the air. "Actually, I can't drink..."

The words barely left her mouth when the wine glass slipped from Maisie's grasp, showering Jenessa in alcohol.

The crystal glass shattered on the floor with a sharp snap.

"Ah!" Maisie shrieked, stumbling backward, feigning horror at the flying shards.

Before Jenessa could react, Ryan shoved her aside.

He scooped Maisie up and held her close. "Are you hurt?" Let's get to the lounge. We'll get you to the private doctor there."

His protectiveness stung Jenessa worse than the spilled wine.

Maisie cast a hesitant glance at Jenessa. "But Ryan, what about-"

Ryan cut her off, his voice laced with impatience. "She shouldn't have even come. She's spoiling the mood."

He carried Maisie away, leaving Jenessa exposed in the middle of the hall.

Shame burned in her cheeks as guests disdainfully gaped and murmured.

It was as if she, the wife, was the shameless other woman.

Despite the humiliation, a sliver of concern for Maisie's safety pricked at Jenessa. She couldn't simply walk away.

After a long, agonizing moment, she followed them to the lounge.

The door was ajar, revealing a snippet of their conversation.

"Ryan," Maisie chided, "that was harsh. Jenessa's been your wife and took care of you for years. A little kindness wouldn't hurt, especially considering you're going to divorce her soon..."

Jenessa froze, the blood draining from her face.

Ryan's voice was cold. "Fine, I will do anything you say."

Maisie cautiously asked, "How will you handle your grandmother? She pushed for the marriage, you know. I heard in the three years you've been married, she's been pushing for grandkids..."

"Don't worry. I'll deal with it," Ryan said curtly. "I promised you. You're the only woman for me, the only one who deserves to be my wife and the mother of my children. Jenessa, she doesn't deserve that."

Each word was a shard of ice piercing Jenessa's heart. She stumbled back, a daze clouding her mind.

The journey home was a blur.

When she finally reached her room, it was completely dark outside.

Mechanically, she pulled out the checkup report, a bitter smile twisting her lips.

This was supposed to be a surprise for Ryan. What a cruel joke.

He wanted a divorce, didn't want their child. If he knew she was pregnant...

"What are you doing?" A cold voice shattered the silence. Ryan stood in the doorway.

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.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
