It was supposed to be the biggest day of my life. The day I, Alex Peterson, heir to a global empire, announced my engagement to Jess Vanderbilt, the perfect corporate alliance. Expensive sheets, blinding penthouse sun – a picture of success. But then, the memory hit me. It wasn't a nightmare; it was my last life. A life where Jess, the woman I thought I loved, and her charming snake of a lover, Ryan Miller, betrayed me. They leaked Peterson Global's R&D secrets, framed me, shattered my father's legacy, and then laughed as I was locked away. I died in that prison, lonely and broken, a stress-aggravated heart condition taking me. The humiliation, the pain, it was all still fresh, seared into my soul. How could I have been so blind? How could the woman I showered with everything, who spoke of grand love, secretly despise me enough to ruin my life, accuse me of theft, and abandon me to rot? The injustice was a searing fire in my gut. And then, I woke up. Here. Now. Back on this exact day, hours before the press conference, a second chance. They wanted me to choose Jess? Fine. I would choose. But this time, the script would be spectacularly different. I chose Sophia Chen.

Introduction

It was supposed to be the biggest day of my life.

The day I, Alex Peterson, heir to a global empire, announced my engagement to Jess Vanderbilt, the perfect corporate alliance.

Expensive sheets, blinding penthouse sun – a picture of success.

But then, the memory hit me.

It wasn't a nightmare; it was my last life.

A life where Jess, the woman I thought I loved, and her charming snake of a lover, Ryan Miller, betrayed me.

They leaked Peterson Global's R&D secrets, framed me, shattered my father's legacy, and then laughed as I was locked away.

I died in that prison, lonely and broken, a stress-aggravated heart condition taking me.

The humiliation, the pain, it was all still fresh, seared into my soul.

How could I have been so blind?

How could the woman I showered with everything, who spoke of grand love, secretly despise me enough to ruin my life, accuse me of theft, and abandon me to rot?

The injustice was a searing fire in my gut.

And then, I woke up.

Here. Now.

Back on this exact day, hours before the press conference, a second chance.

They wanted me to choose Jess?

Fine.

I would choose.

But this time, the script would be spectacularly different.

I chose Sophia Chen.

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.
