For a decade, I built a life with Jax, riding shotgun through the grit and glory of the Road Vipers. I was his "old lady," stained with grease and unwavering loyalty, believing I was his unshakeable queen in that wild world. Then, he looked across our cluttered loft, smoking a cigarette, and dropped the bomb: "We're done. I'm going legit with Lily. She's clean, simple. Not like you." He handed me a wad of cash, a pathetic severance package for ten years, while his new, "undamaged" girlfriend stood by. My heart hammered, but I stayed quiet, even as I threw the silver dog tags-symbols of his fierce possessiveness, engraved with 'Mine'-into a construction dumpster, watching his stunned, pale face. The bitterness was scorching, but the confusion was a cold, aching void. Was I truly just a disposable relic of his past, easily replaced by some sweet kid? And then, just as I felt utterly discarded, my childhood connection, Julian-impeccably tailored and utterly unexpected-pulled up in a sleek Audi, offering sanctuary from the pouring rain. What I didn't know then was that Lily wasn't just a random waitress. She was a carefully placed pawn in Julian's long game to break Jax's hold over me. He'd orchestrated my "clean break" to finally claim me himself. Now, I'm faced with a deeper betrayal and a startling truth: can I navigate a future where my 'rescue' was a calculated manipulation, and will I expose the shocking truth that shattered Jax's shiny new empire, or choose my own path entirely?

Introduction

For a decade, I built a life with Jax, riding shotgun through the grit and glory of the Road Vipers.

I was his "old lady," stained with grease and unwavering loyalty, believing I was his unshakeable queen in that wild world.

Then, he looked across our cluttered loft, smoking a cigarette, and dropped the bomb: "We're done. I'm going legit with Lily. She's clean, simple. Not like you."

He handed me a wad of cash, a pathetic severance package for ten years, while his new, "undamaged" girlfriend stood by.

My heart hammered, but I stayed quiet, even as I threw the silver dog tags-symbols of his fierce possessiveness, engraved with 'Mine'-into a construction dumpster, watching his stunned, pale face.

The bitterness was scorching, but the confusion was a cold, aching void.

Was I truly just a disposable relic of his past, easily replaced by some sweet kid?

And then, just as I felt utterly discarded, my childhood connection, Julian-impeccably tailored and utterly unexpected-pulled up in a sleek Audi, offering sanctuary from the pouring rain.

What I didn't know then was that Lily wasn't just a random waitress.

She was a carefully placed pawn in Julian's long game to break Jax's hold over me.

He'd orchestrated my "clean break" to finally claim me himself.

Now, I'm faced with a deeper betrayal and a startling truth: can I navigate a future where my 'rescue' was a calculated manipulation, and will I expose the shocking truth that shattered Jax's shiny new empire, or choose my own path entirely?

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.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
