The air in the conference room was thick with failure, but I' d checked the system a dozen times-someone had tampered with it. Then, Sarah, my wife and CEO, her eyes like polished stones, fired me in front of the entire board. She handed my team, my department, my life' s work, over to Mark, her sniveling assistant who I just realized had sabotaged me. "You' re fired," she stated, her voice devoid of emotion, as if our years, our dreams, meant nothing. The humiliation was a physical weight, heavier than the knowledge that this woman, my partner, had just betrayed everything we built. As she put a comforting hand on Mark' s shoulder, a cold calm settled over me. She wanted my life' s work? The patented algorithm that powered her entire company? "Fine," I said, before initiating a full data wipe of every personal file on the company servers. I left, not with the car she' d called for me, but with one my brother had arranged. Now, my lawyer says her company is running on stolen tech. My brother, David, is the lead investor she didn' t even know about, and he' s not happy. Sarah' s company, built on my genius, is a house of cards. And I' m about to watch it fall.

Introduction

The air in the conference room was thick with failure, but I' d checked the system a dozen times-someone had tampered with it.

Then, Sarah, my wife and CEO, her eyes like polished stones, fired me in front of the entire board.

She handed my team, my department, my life' s work, over to Mark, her sniveling assistant who I just realized had sabotaged me.

"You' re fired," she stated, her voice devoid of emotion, as if our years, our dreams, meant nothing.

The humiliation was a physical weight, heavier than the knowledge that this woman, my partner, had just betrayed everything we built.

As she put a comforting hand on Mark' s shoulder, a cold calm settled over me.

She wanted my life' s work? The patented algorithm that powered her entire company?

"Fine," I said, before initiating a full data wipe of every personal file on the company servers.

I left, not with the car she' d called for me, but with one my brother had arranged.

Now, my lawyer says her company is running on stolen tech.

My brother, David, is the lead investor she didn' t even know about, and he' s not happy.

Sarah' s company, built on my genius, is a house of cards.

And I' m about to watch it fall.

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.
