Olivia Clark, the silent architect of Synapse Tech, always preferred the shadows, content to see her foster brother, Ethan, shine. Tonight was his engagement party-a celebration she helped orchestrate, observing from the periphery in her simple gray dress. But the night took a violent turn when Brittany Hayes, Ethan's fiancée, cornered Olivia, accusing her of trying to upstage the bride-to-be. Brittany' s words, sharp and demeaning, escalated to physical assault, tearing Olivia' s dress and pouring red wine onto her bleeding knee, all while a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle. Even Mark Renshaw, a senior VP who knew Olivia' s true value, disavowed her to curry favor with Brittany, leaving Olivia utterly alone and broken. But when Brittany maliciously destroyed Olivia' s last tangible link to her deceased parents-a unique smart device containing all her confidential AI research-something snapped. "My name is Olivia Clark," she declared, her voice shaking with rage. "And when Ethan finds out what you've done, you and your friends will have nothing left." Just as Brittany prepared to inflict a permanent scar, Ethan walked in, only to find the mangled device at his feet. His shock quickly turned to icy fury as he uncovered the truth, canceling his engagement on the spot and carrying Olivia away. But the ordeal wasn't over. Brittany weaponized the media, painting Olivia as a villain and herself as a victim, pushing Olivia to the brink. "She thinks she's the only one who can play this game," Olivia thought, a chilling resolve forming. "She has no idea what I'm about to do."

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.
