On the glittering night I was set to become CEO of Pearson International and accept Senator Davis's proposal, my life was a polished diamond. The Plaza ballroom buzzed with an air of my impending coronation. It was everything I had carefully built, every dream on the cusp of reality. Then, a champagne glass from my brother Michael, a whisper of expensive scotch, and a sudden, disorienting haze swept over me. The last thing I remembered was a camera flash and leering faces before darkness consumed me. I woke to my face plastered across every tabloid: "Pearson Heiress in Drunken Orgy!" My world imploded as the Senator's curt statement ended our engagement, and company stocks plummeted. Confined to a remote villa, stripped of my phone and dignity, I was forcibly medicated, labeled as having a mental breakdown. The bitter taste of betrayal lingered-my own brother, Michael, and his venomous accomplice, Olivia, were behind it all. Their whispers of my "neutralization" and their sickening hints at my father's "accident" turned my raw shame into a burning, diamond-hard rage. They thought they had buried me. But they were profoundly, catastrophically wrong. Driven by Olivia's cruel taunts, a desperate, whispered call on an ancient, hidden phone ignited a relentless fire within. Sarah Pearson died that night, but a formidable ghost, Anya Sharma, was just beginning her ascent from the ashes, ready to unleash a reckoning they'd never forget.

Introduction

On the glittering night I was set to become CEO of Pearson International and accept Senator Davis's proposal, my life was a polished diamond.

The Plaza ballroom buzzed with an air of my impending coronation.

It was everything I had carefully built, every dream on the cusp of reality.

Then, a champagne glass from my brother Michael, a whisper of expensive scotch, and a sudden, disorienting haze swept over me.

The last thing I remembered was a camera flash and leering faces before darkness consumed me.

I woke to my face plastered across every tabloid: "Pearson Heiress in Drunken Orgy!"

My world imploded as the Senator's curt statement ended our engagement, and company stocks plummeted.

Confined to a remote villa, stripped of my phone and dignity, I was forcibly medicated, labeled as having a mental breakdown.

The bitter taste of betrayal lingered-my own brother, Michael, and his venomous accomplice, Olivia, were behind it all.

Their whispers of my "neutralization" and their sickening hints at my father's "accident" turned my raw shame into a burning, diamond-hard rage.

They thought they had buried me.

But they were profoundly, catastrophically wrong.

Driven by Olivia's cruel taunts, a desperate, whispered call on an ancient, hidden phone ignited a relentless fire within.

Sarah Pearson died that night, but a formidable ghost, Anya Sharma, was just beginning her ascent from the ashes, ready to unleash a reckoning they'd never forget.

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.
