Julian Thorne, from a lineage cursed with men dying before thirty, desperately needed it for his survival.

His mother, Victoria, proposed a lucrative partnership to save her son.

In my first life, I accepted, pouring my essence into his success, helping him defy fate, celebrating his 30th birthday.

But he paraded his new love, Isabelle, and publicly denounced me as a fraud, shattering my reputation.

My assets frozen, my name disgraced, everything I had vanished by morning.

He then abandoned me at a desolate, chemical waste site, where I died alone and terrified, my hometown withering under his cruel hand.

The metallic tang of chemicals, the stench of decay – that memory seared into my soul, a cold reality of his ultimate betrayal.

How could the man I saved condemn me to such a horrifying end?

Then, I blinked.

I was back.

Reborn, on the very day Victoria Thorne first offered that cursed contract.

My hands steady, I pushed it back.

"No," I said, my voice quiet but cutting, shattering the chains of my past and forging a new destiny.

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.
