"We are getting a divorce." I stared blankly at the paper Ethan just handed to me. There was no way this was happening. "Get it signed as soon as possible." He muttered again, with so much easiness that made me think I've been married to myself all this years. Why does it seem like I was suffocating? I staggered a bit. "Is this what you want?" I managed to say to him and he nodded firmly, I searched his eyes for anything, any hint at all to why he was doing this. But there was nothing. I never believed Ethan could this to me. I've loved and dedicated my life to him for the past five years, even though he treated me like trash.

Chapter 1 Emily's POV

"We are getting a divorce."

I stared blankly at the paper Ethan just handed to me.

There was no way this was happening.

"Get it signed as soon as possible." He muttered again, with so much easiness that made me think I've been married to myself all this years.

Why does it seem like I was suffocating? I staggered abit.

"Is this what you want?" I managed to say to him and he nodded firmly,

I searched his eyes for anything, any hint at all to why he was doing this. But there was nothing.

I never believed Ethan could this to me. I've loved and dedicated my life to him for the past five years, even though he treated me like trash.

"Is it Mia?" I asked, my eyes getting a bit teary now.

"Yes." He replied sharply, and almost a smile could be sighted at his lips.

"I don't care about your relationship with her! like I've never cared, I've never interfered in your affairs with her! why then do you need to divorce me?!" I couldn't hold my tears anymore as it began strolling down freely.

"I will give you anything you want." He muttered.

"We could work this out, our marriage was out of love. We can make this work again. I love you Ethan and you know it." I muttered, my voice tearing apart now, my whole world was sinking,.

"Ethan? we can do this."

"A million dollars, I'll give you a million dollars,."

My heart sank at his response.

I could see his mind was already made up, nothing could be done now.

I sniffed in painfully and left his presence, with the papers in my hand getting squized by my palm as if that could help my marriage.

When I was completely out of sight, I squatted down, allowing my tears strolling down freely as I cried my eyes out. I had never imagined my marriage could reach this point. The thought of being separated from Ethan for the rest our lives twitched my chest I couldn't stop the tears.

When I was done, I stood up slowly, picking my belongings, the one that was mostly necessary.

I quickly removed the pyjamas and wore one of my gowns.

Then picked some of my shoes and packed it all in my box. When I was done I dragged my box along with me, trying hard to not shed more tears. For the past three years of my life after Mia came back, it has being from tears to fighting hard to be seen. It was time to let go now.

When I got to the living room, Mia stood, a sarcastic smirk playing at her lips which disappeared immediately she sighted my husband.

On a normal day, I could've let that slide, but what was the point now? Ethan already kicked me out, I could relieve some burden from my mind.

I let go of my bag's handle, and fiercely dashed towards her, I sent several slaps to her face.

Her expression was priceless, it brought joy to my heart, she never expected I'd do something like that. I've always tolerated her sh!t cos of Ethan, but today I didn't give a damn anymore.

She screamed in pain as I refused to let go of her hair.

Ethan swiftly grabbed her into his arms, while she cried. I didn't care, if he let go of her now, I could beat her up some more before I take my leave.

"We just love each other, why can't you just let us be together?" She sniffed into his chest and Ethan rubbed her back soothingly.

My eyes welled up, it was me Ethan used to hold like this. I remembered our moments and my heart sank the more.

Life was still okay, blooming with love with my Ethan until Mia came back from her studies abroad, his childhood friend whom he believed it was his first and true love to divorce me. Ethan never told me he had a lover that he was so obsessive with. He never for once told me he was using me to pass time till his lover returned.

I wiped my tears vigorously and grabbed my bag off the floor.

I could sense his stares between me and my suitcase.

"And where are you going?"

I scoffed. Maybe he suddenly lost his mind.

But I wasn't ready to correct that, I looked at him from his head down to his toe and I stomped out of his house.

"You can just stay! do you have to leave yet? Come back Lily! I haven't given you the order to leave yet!"

I scoffed painfully without giving him any glance, if we were going to divorce in few days, I might as well just leave now.

He followed me out but I didn't give him a glance as I kept pushing my suit case and walking fast.

I guess he wouldn't want the media to catch a picture of him, hence he went back. I couldn't here his voice anymore.

What else does he want? He wanted some space for him and his lover, he has it all now. What else does he really want?

I bit my lower lips in anger as I walked. The box was a bit heavy, but I must brace up.

When I was completely out of the estate. The burden in my heart had reduced. I could see life from another side again. Maybe I should've done this a long time ago. Freedom, yea from Ethan's hell hole. I couldn't have seen it earlier, but this was for the best.

I breathed in the cool breeze and finally stopped a taxi.

"AZ hotel." I muttered as I sprung into the car, feeling light headed now.

I jumped on the bed as soon as I get to my room, all this while I thought it was love, but I've realized everything now, I was only imprisoned, and now, I was freed.

A smile crept to my lips and a breath of relieve escaped my lungs.

I swiftly placed a call to Lexi,

"Hey Lily" She bellowed excitedly.

"Wait, where are you? and why does the place looks familiar?"

It was a video call, hence she could see everything.

I was more joyful when the receptionist told me these room was available, since it held a lot of my memories before I married Ethan, I and Lexi always hang out here till we both got entangled with our men, and now, mine was leaving me.

"Don't tell me you went having fun on your own!" She yelled and now I just had to say something before she rushed down here.

"I'm getting divorced Lexi."

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.

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.

The Mute Heiress's Fake Marriage Pact

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
