To stop her, I went to great lengths and revealed everything to her parents. I managed to pull her back onto the right path. But on the day of the SAT, she handed me a drugged drink.

Chapter 1

[1]

During our senior year, my best friend fell in love with the school's notorious bad boy. He led her astray, skipping classes and partying, causing her grades to plummet. Desperate to save her, I did everything I could, even going so far as to tell her parents everything. I managed to pull her back on track.

But on the day of the SAT exam, she handed me a glass of water spiked with drugs. She said, "You ruined my dream of marrying a rich boyfriend, so I'm ruining your future. Now we're even."

"Jennifer, Aydan confessed to me. Do you think I should say yes or no?"

I was stunned hearing these familiar words. It was then that I realized I had a second chance at life, back to this pivotal moment in my life.

Gabriela had been my best friend since childhood. She was beautiful and smart, the popular girl everyone admired. But this seemingly perfect goddess had fallen for the infamous troublemaker, Aydan, during our senior year.

When she came to ask for my opinion, I frowned and pointed out all his flaws for her. He was a well-known playboy and troublemaker, using his family's wealth to smoke, drink, fight, and bully classmates. His bad reputation was infamous even at a young age. I advised her to stay far away from him.

She agreed quickly, but just as swiftly, she got involved with Aydan. She even relayed everything I had said to him, "Aydan, Jennifer said you're no good, but I still want to give you a chance. You better treat me well."

As expected, Aydan's version of treating her well involved dragging Gabriela into smoking, drinking, wild partying, and other vulgar entertainments, ignoring their student status. As her best friend, how could I bear to watch her fall? I kept advising her, and when that didn't work, I had no choice but to inform her parents and teachers.

Her parents locked her at home, cutting off all contact with Aydan. She was hysterical, but within a month, Aydan had found a new girlfriend and even got her pregnant.

I brought this news to Gabriela, and with a face devastated with heartbreak, she finally came to her senses. She no longer resented me for telling on her and returned to being the close friend she had always been, holding my hand tightly.

I thought everything I had done was worth it because I had protected my best friend. But on the day of the SAT, she handed me a spiked bottle of water...

"Jennifer? Jennifer?!" Seeing that I remained silent, Gabriela raised her voice impatiently and waved her hand in front of my face. "I know you don't think much of him, but he does have his good points..."

"When did I ever say I didn't think much of him?" I suppressed my anger and replied coldly, "You two are quite a match."

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.
