Chapter 1

For five years, I lived a beautiful lie. I was Aliana Hughes, the cherished wife of the city's most feared Mafia Capo and the beloved daughter of the Don. I believed my arranged marriage had blossomed into love.

On my birthday, my husband promised me the amusement park. Instead, I found him there with his other family, celebrating the fifth birthday of the son I never knew he had.

I overheard their plan. My husband called me a "naive fool," a placeholder to legitimize his secret son. The ultimate betrayal wasn't his affair, but the sight of my own father's car parked across the street. My family wasn't just aware; they were the architects of my ruin.

Back home, I found the proof: a secret photo album of my husband's other family posing with my parents, and records showing my father had bankrolled the entire deception. They had even drugged me on weekends so he could play happy family.

The grief didn't break me. It turned into something cold and sharp. I was a ghost in a life that was never mine, and a ghost has nothing to lose.

I copied every damning file onto a USB drive. As they celebrated their perfect day, I sent a courier with my parting gift: a recording of their treachery. While their world burned, I walked toward the airport, ready to erase myself and start over.

Chapter 1

Aliana POV:

My husband, Ivan Hughes, the most feared Capo in the Donovan Outfit, promised to take me to the amusement park for my birthday. He lied. I found him there with his other family, celebrating the fifth birthday of the son I never knew he had.

It all started this morning, in the beautiful lie I called my life. I was convinced I was the cherished, long-lost heiress, finally secure in my place. I believed my arranged marriage was a path to love, that my husband adored me.

That morning, he'd kissed me before he left, a possessive, almost absentminded gesture. His thumb traced my jaw, his lips firm against mine. "Happy birthday, mia cara."

The words were a warm blanket over the cold space in our bed he'd leave behind.

Five years ago, my rival, Kiera Reese, had tried to ruin me. She sabotaged a multi-million dollar art acquisition I was managing for the Family, a move calculated to paint me as incompetent in front of my father, the Don. My parents told me she'd had a mental breakdown, that she'd been sent to a private facility. The matter was closed. I believed them.

Over coffee downtown, my best friend, Debi, wasn't so sure.

"I still can't believe they let her off so easily," she said, stirring her latte with more force than necessary. "She tried to destroy your reputation."

"She was sick, Debi," I said, defending a narrative I desperately needed to be true.

I pulled out my phone, my fingers flying across the screen in a hopeful, girlish message to Ivan. Can we still go to the amusement park? For my birthday?

His reply was swift. Dismissive.

Buried with Family business. Rain check.

A familiar ache settled in my chest, but this time, it was laced with something sharp: doubt. It was always "Family business."

Debi's eyes narrowed. "On your birthday? No man is that busy, Aliana. A man that conveniently busy is hiding something." She leaned forward, a silent dare in her expression. "You should take him lunch."

Her words landed on the fertile ground of my newfound fear. So I went.

Hughes Bio-Tech was one of our cleanest fronts, a gleaming tower of steel and glass. Ivan's secretary, a young woman who always looked terrified of him, paled when she saw me.

"Mrs. Hughes! I... I wasn't expecting you."

"Is Ivan in?" I asked, holding up a paper bag with his favorite sandwich.

She wrung her hands. "He's not. He's... at the Reese Gallery. In the West End. Overseeing an installation."

Reese Gallery. The name snagged in my throat. A cold dread, thick and suffocating, began to pool in my stomach.

I drove, my knuckles white on the steering wheel. As I pulled up to the gallery, I saw it. My father's black armored sedan, parked discreetly across the street.

They weren't just aware. They were involved.

Through the gallery's floor-to-ceiling window, I saw them. Ivan. Kiera. And a little boy with Ivan's dark hair and a smile that was a perfect, devastating copy of my own. Ivan was laughing, a relaxed, unguarded expression I hadn't seen on his face in years. He looked happy. He looked like a man in love.

The little boy, Leo, shouted with a glee that echoed in the silent cavern of my chest. "Daddy, can we go to the amusement park now? For my birthday?"

Ivan's voice, laced with an affection he never used with me, drifted through the slightly ajar door. "I booked the whole park, kiddo. Just for you."

Leo's birthday. It was the same day as mine.

Kiera leaned in, her hand on Ivan's arm. "Does she suspect anything?" she murmured.

Ivan's laugh was a cruel, ugly sound. "Aliana? She's a sweet, naive fool. Believes every word I say."

He leaned down and gave Kiera a tender kiss. It was the exact same possessive, almost absentminded gesture he'd given me that morning.

He continued, his voice carrying with an arrogance that assumed no one of consequence could ever be listening. He'd claim he was sterile. They would "adopt" Leo. Make him the sole, legitimate heir to the Donovan-Hughes line. My purpose, my entire five-year marriage, was to be a placeholder. A legitimate face for his illegitimate family.

My phone buzzed in my hand. A text from Ivan.

Thinking of you. Miss you.

For a heartbeat, the world went silent. The grief wasn't an ache; it was a physical schism, a fault line cracking through the bedrock of my soul. It didn't break me. It didn't shatter. It crystallized into something hard, cold, and sharp enough to gut a man.

I put the car in drive.

I was Grayson Warren’s "broken doll," a disgraced socialite kept on a short leash to pay off my family’s debts. To the world, I was a fragile liability; to Grayson, I was a pet he could humiliate for sport, forcing me to play the role of a mentally unstable girl while I secretly gathered evidence against his empire. The cruelty peaked when Grayson forced me to break three years of sobriety in front of his investors, mocking my struggle before making me kneel on a golf course to scrub his shoes. He treated my life like a game, literally betting my sanity against a corporate board seat while he soft-launched a new relationship with a high-profile PR queen. When the pressure triggered a massive panic attack, Grayson abandoned me in a private clinic just so he wouldn't miss a dinner reservation. Even my own mother turned against me, threatening to leak my psychiatric records and brand me a "violent delusional" if I didn't beg for Grayson’s forgiveness. I was trapped between a man who owned my debt and a mother who valued her estate over my daughter’s life. I realized then that they would never let me go; they would only break me until there was nothing left. They thought they had erased my soul, but they forgot I was the only witness to the night my true love, Felix, was murdered. I was done being the victim. I faked a suicide jump off the Queensboro Bridge to go off the grid, then crashed Grayson’s elite gala in a dress that signaled his downfall. Just as Grayson tried to physically crush me one last time, the room went silent. Felix Law, the man the world thought was dead for three years, walked out of the shadows with a federal warrant in his hand. "Take your hands off her, Warren." The game didn't just change; it ended. Felix was back from the dead, and this time, we were burning the empire to the ground together.

Standing on the edge of a limestone quarry in the pouring rain, I thought we were just having another family argument. Then my mother, Ardell, screamed that I’d let the life insurance lapse, and my brother, Hakeem, stepped out of the shadows with a cold, calculating look in his eyes. I told them I knew the truth—that Hakeem had cut the brake lines on my father’s car—but they didn't flinch. Instead, Hakeem shoved me hard, sending me tumbling into the abyss. I hit a jagged ledge thirty feet down, the sound of my spine snapping like a dry branch echoing through the rain. As I lay paralyzed and broken, my mother watched from above, asking if I was dead yet, before Hakeem whistled for the starving wild dogs that lived in the quarry floor. "Nature will clean up the mess," Hakeem said, walking away while the first set of teeth sank into my throat. The agony was a tidal wave, but the rage was hotter, a nuclear hatred for the family that stole my future and the daughter I’d never see grow up. I died in that dirt, consumed by fire and teeth, wondering how a mother could choose a car payment over her own child's life. But then, I gasped for air, sitting bolt upright in my old trailer bedroom. I looked at the calendar: May 12, 2014. I was seventeen again, but I wasn't the same girl. Inside this malnourished body was the mind of a world-class trauma surgeon and the elite hacker known as 'Phantom.' This time, I wasn't going to the quarry; I was going for their throats.

My husband studied the fertility report on his desk with the same cold precision he used to order executions. On our fifth anniversary, he didn't give me diamonds. He checked his Rolex and delivered the sentence that ended my life. "Your genetic profile is defective, Catarina." He didn't just ask for a divorce. He pressed a button on his intercom, and a woman walked in. She was loud, chewing gum, and wearing a dress that was too tight. "This is Aria," Alex said, his voice flat. "She is a vessel. She will carry the heir your body cannot produce." He claimed it was just business, that she would be exiled once the child was born. But at my birthday gala, when Aria tripped into a champagne tower, the truth shattered along with the glass. I was the one bleeding, a jagged shard slicing my arm. But Alex didn't look at me. He threw his body over her. He cradled his mistress, screaming for a doctor to check the baby, while I stood there with blood dripping onto the marble floor, completely invisible. I watched him give his own blood to save her in the clinic later that night. I saw the way he looked at her—not like a vessel, but like a prize. He thought I would stay. He thought I was the obedient Mafia wife who would raise his mistress's child to save the family image. So when he handed me a stack of papers to "protect the assets," he was too arrogant to read them. He didn't notice the header read *Decree of Divorce*. While he was busy buying baby clothes for a child that didn't even exist, I wiped my identity from the servers, signed the papers he blindly authorized, and boarded a one-way jet to Paris. By the time he realizes his "heir" is a fraud, I will already be a ghost.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
