My husband Mark and I built DreamWeaver Games from a college dorm room. He was the CEO, I was the lead developer – the one who actually made the games. Our company was our dream, our life, for years. But then, he started spending company money, our money, on lavish gifts and dinners for Chloe, our flirty PR manager. When I questioned the "marketing expenses," he gave me the silent treatment for three months. One morning, he dangled a brochure for a luxury resort, promising a "reconnecting" getaway – only to cancel last minute. He gave my first-class ticket and the entire luxury booking to Chloe, claiming it was for "company business," a crucial publisher meeting. Later that night, Instagram exploded with photos of Mark and Chloe, clinking champagne at my resort suite. They beamed as a "power couple," their captions mocking me and everything we built. It was a punch to the gut, a public humiliation. How could the man I loved, my partner in every sense, so carelessly betray and humiliate me? The silent treatment, the blatant affair, the open mockery – I was bone-tired of fighting, of being dismissed. My heart, once full of dreams for us, felt dead inside, replaced by a cold, sharp clarity. That night, as their "power couple" selfies mocked me from my phone, I knew it was over. No more fighting for him, no more fighting for DreamWeaver. It was time to fight for Sarah, and I already had my first move in motion.

Introduction

My husband Mark and I built DreamWeaver Games from a college dorm room.

He was the CEO, I was the lead developer – the one who actually made the games.

Our company was our dream, our life, for years.

But then, he started spending company money, our money, on lavish gifts and dinners for Chloe, our flirty PR manager.

When I questioned the "marketing expenses," he gave me the silent treatment for three months.

One morning, he dangled a brochure for a luxury resort, promising a "reconnecting" getaway – only to cancel last minute.

He gave my first-class ticket and the entire luxury booking to Chloe, claiming it was for "company business," a crucial publisher meeting.

Later that night, Instagram exploded with photos of Mark and Chloe, clinking champagne at my resort suite.

They beamed as a "power couple," their captions mocking me and everything we built.

It was a punch to the gut, a public humiliation.

How could the man I loved, my partner in every sense, so carelessly betray and humiliate me?

The silent treatment, the blatant affair, the open mockery – I was bone-tired of fighting, of being dismissed.

My heart, once full of dreams for us, felt dead inside, replaced by a cold, sharp clarity.

That night, as their "power couple" selfies mocked me from my phone, I knew it was over.

No more fighting for him, no more fighting for DreamWeaver.

It was time to fight for Sarah, and I already had my first move in motion.

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.
