My wife, Ellie, died in my arms, her last words twisting the knife: a confession she wished she'd never married me, only pined for her stepbrother, Marcus. Haunted by her dying wish, I used my family's illicit time-travel technology to rewrite our past, determined to give her the happiness I never could. I plunged into our wedding night, posing as Marcus to get our marriage annulled. I painstakingly orchestrated her reunion with him, enduring humiliation, and even donated my own blood to save him after his suicide attempt. Every sacrifice tore me apart, ensuring her ultimate freedom, though it came at the cost of my own soul. Yet, after all this, Ellie, finally free of me, only realized her feelings for me once I was gone. Then, at a charity gala, Marcus, in a jealous rage, attacked me. Ellie shielded me, taking the fall, leaving her gravely injured. Now, she's desperate for the love she never saw. Can I, after such profound heartbreak and self-sacrifice, ever reciprocate? Or is it time to finally choose my own peace, severing all ties, and finding a happiness she will only witness from afar?

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.
