The day the man I'd lived with for twelve years married someone else, I canceled my flight home. I was already at the gate at O'Hare, and my flight to Savannah was boarding when my front door camera showed me something I could never have imagined—a wedding in my own backyard.
Grant was standing beneath the string lights I had hung and wearing the suit I had chosen for him. Beside him was Piper, his late wife's sister, wearing my mother's handmade wedding dress after brutally cutting it apart.
For twelve years, I had built a home, supported Grant's family, paid the bills, helped raise his daughter, and waited for the marriage he always promised would happen someday. Yet he had never considered me his real family.

The club's own livestream records everything—the locked exits, the destroyed heirloom, the torn wedding gown, and Miles standing by while Elena is publicly degraded. What they dismiss as a harmless farewell prank quickly becomes evidence.
Elena doesn't beg. She saves the footage, calls the police, cuts Miles off from their shared life, and withdraws the personal guarantee protecting the financially troubled Carrington estate. What Miles never understood was that the quiet schoolteacher he looked down on carried a legacy, resources, and influence he knew nothing about.
The Carringtons enjoyed putting a price on Elena's dignity. Now, when their treasured estate and family assets begin heading toward the auction block, Elena intends to be sitting in the front row. This time, Miles won't be auctioning her future. He'll be watching his own crown sold piece by piece.

On the day I cleared the game, the three of them tearfully sent me off. Only during the final settlement did I learn the truth: my husband was the ultimate boss of the horror game.

Adrian knew the report was fake, but in front of dozens of relatives and friends, he still called my son a bastard and shoved a prepared divorce agreement at me. After the video went viral, people plastered my son's face across the internet, dug up the name of his preschool, and found the company where I worked. I lost the project I'd spent a year building. My son started waking from nightmares, asking me why Daddy didn't want him anymore. When the truth finally came out, Adrian said, “We just wanted to scare you a little, see if you'd act guilty.

In the end, their edited videos and fabricated evidence cost me my child, my property, and my reputation. I died alone on a forgotten winter night. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in that restaurant, one minute before the fake report flashed onto the screen. This time, I didn't argue.
