Chapter 1 A Life Of Contrasts

The towering skyscrapers and bustling streets were bathed in a warm orange glow as the sun set over the city. However, despite the splendor of the urban landscape, there were two distinct worlds. In one world, wealth and privilege reigned supreme. Ava Morales lived a life of luxury, with every material possession and social connection she could ever desire. Sophia Morales, a socialite, and Marcus Morales, a successful businessman, had given her every chance to succeed. Ava attended the prestigious Oakwood Academy, a private school that catered to the city's elite.

She was a senior, and her days were filled with classes, club meetings, and social events. Ava was a member of the school's debate team and was known for her quick wit and sharp tongue. As she walked through the school's manicured hallways, Ava couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and entitlement. She was, after all, one of the most popular and influential students at Oakwood. On the other side of town, Maya Jenkins struggled to make ends meet. Her mother, Rachel, worked multiple jobs to provide for Maya and her younger brother. Despite the hardships, Maya's mother had instilled in her a strong sense of determination and resilience. Maya had to work at her mother's small shop to make ends meet because her family couldn't pay for school. But Maya was determined to get an education, and she had been relying on scholarships to fund her studies. Luckily, Maya had been awarded a scholarship to attend Oakwood Academy, one of the most prestigious schools in the city. She was overjoyed at the opportunity, and she knew that it was a chance to change her life for the better. As the sun dipped below the horizon, Ava and Maya went about their evening routines, unaware of the dramatic changes that awaited them. While Maya was working on an art project and Ava was studying for an upcoming exam, Maya's mind was racing with excitement and nerves about her new adventure at Oakwood Academy. As Ava settled into her comfortable bedroom, surrounded by her expensive clothes and jewelry, she couldn't help but feel grateful for her privileged life. She had everything she could ever want, and she knew that her future was bright. Meanwhile, Maya sat at her kitchen table, surrounded by her art supplies and textbooks. She was determined to make a better life for herself, despite the obstacles that stood in her way. She was a fighter, and she would stop at nothing to achieve her dreams. As they drifted off to sleep, Ava and Maya were unaware of the dramatic changes that awaited them.

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.

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.
