On our seventh anniversary, I inadvertently stumbled upon a hidden confession in Liam's public Facebook post. It was his unrequited love for Destinee. I realized then that the initials letters on our wedding rings were never meant to stand for Liam and Divya, but for his unwavering longing for Destinee. He was eager to marry me on a holiday, not out of love, but because Destinee was also getting married to someone else that day. "Divya, what is the fuss again?" Liam asked, standing at the door. I turned to face him calmly and said, "Liam, let's break up." He furrowed his brows slightly, trying to snatch the phone from my hand as he entered the room, only to find that I had already saved a screenshot. "Why are you so upset about an old post?"

: Divya and Liam

Chapter 1 Complete Break

On the seventh anniversary of my relationship with Liam Lyons, I unlocked my phone and clicked on his Facebook.

He had never posted an update before, but today he unexpectedly posted one.

He hadn't blocked me. Maybe he forgot to do that.

He only wrote a short line. "We had our wedding on the same day, but the person I married was not you."

The accompanying image was of a man's diamond ring, with two letters engraved clearly on the inside of the band, and it was LD.

I lowered my gaze to the identical ring on my finger.

Liam and I have been in a relationship for seven years, but he never mentioned marriage.

Last month, however, he suddenly came to me with this ring, eager to discuss getting engaged on Independence Day.

I thought my seven years of persistence had finally paid off.

It turned out that I was wrong.

The LD on our wedding rings never stood for Liam and me.

It was for him and his unforgettable first love, Destinee James.

He chose to marry me on Independence Day, not out of love, but simply because Destinee was marrying someone else that day.

How ridiculous!

I stared at the ring and sneered.

The door was unlocked, and Liam came back.

He changed his shoes and immediately saw me sitting on the sofa in the dark. "Why are you acting strangely in the middle of the day? What's the matter now?"

Ignoring his impatience, I raised my head and looked at him calmly. "Liam, let's break up."

"Divya, what are you doing being unreasonable?" He took a few steps toward me, trying to grab the phone from my hand. "We're about to get married. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

I dodged to the side, shoving the screenshot I had taken in front of him.

The impatience on his face froze the moment he saw the words on the screen.

But soon, he regained his aloof demeanor, not even changing his tone, "You're digging up my previous updates and making a big deal out of them. What's the point?"

What was the point?

I withdrew my phone and told him clearly, "Liam, I'm not marrying you."

His expression finally darkened.

Perhaps my gaze was calm enough to make him realize I wasn't joking.

We stared at each other for a long time.

In the end, he didn't say another word, just coldly said "It's up to you", then turned around and slammed the door and left.

After the resounding bang, silence returned to the house.

I slowly got up, walked into the kitchen, and laid out the steak and vegetables I'd prepared for the anniversary.

With a sizzle, the steak hit the hot pan, its aroma spreading through the air.

After seven years of my youth being wasted, I had to have a good meal to celebrate my new beginning.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
