Six months in, Dana was gone—wrecked by that marriage. Right before she croaked, she texted Michael blaming me. Said I lost the game and ditched the deal, dumping Blake on her. Michael? Snapped.

On Valentine's Day, I suggest going to a restaurant to celebrate, but my boyfriend, Michael Nelson, refuses. He says impatiently, "Why should we celebrate some lousy holiday? I don't want to waste good money on it." He turns around and happily chats away on his phone, completely absorbed in the conversation. Then, I hear the system's notification going off in my head. "Congratulations. You have received 2,860 dollars." This means that Michael just transferred 1,430 dollars to his side chick. He doesn't know it yet, but I have a system. It's called the Infidelity Cashback System. Every time he spends money on his other woman, I get double the cashback in my bank account.

At our wedding ceremony, the four-year-old nephew of my fiance, Michael Thompson, suddenly rushes onto the stage. He grabs his uncle's hand and cries, "Daddy, why are you marrying another woman? Don't you want me and Mommy anymore?" Seeing this, Lisa Jenner quickly runs over to intervene. She sounds apologetic, but her words are slightly provocative. "I'm so sorry, Sarah. Danny lost his father when he was little and has always seen Michael as his dad. He didn't mean to cause trouble." Even Michael remains completely calm as he picks up Danny. He explains to me, "Before David passed away, he made me promise to take care of his widow and child. I only let Danny call me 'Daddy' so he could have a normal childhood. You understand, right?" As I look at the three of them, standing there like the perfect family, I laugh coldly and rip off my veil. "This poor child has been through so much. How could I possibly steal his dad away? "You know what? Why don't I just let Lisa take my place up here? Then you can have your happy little family of three."

DIANA’S POV I used to believe in fairy tales. I used to believe in him. All it took was one sentence to destroy my entire world: “You were just a bet.” I left without looking back — heartbroken, humiliated, and secretly pregnant. I rebuilt myself piece by piece until I became someone strong, someone feared: an Investigator known for hunting down Mafia kings. Only one person keeps my heart soft—my daughter. Michael doesn’t know she exists. Seven years later, fate throws me into the very world I swore to destroy. My new mission is simple: Infiltrate the Italian Mafia. Take down its ruthless leader. My greatest shock? The Mafia Boss I’m hunting… is Michael Dickson. The man who broke me. The father of my child. The last person I expected to face again. Now I’m stuck between revenge and something far more dangerous. Because Michael doesn’t recognize me—but he’s drawn to me all the same. One wrong step, and I could lose my mission. Lose my daughter. Or lose my heart to him all over again. And this time… I might not survive it. ~~~~~~~~ MICHAEL’S POV I built an empire on blood and silence. Nothing touched me—until she walked in. A woman with familiar eyes. A voice that drags ghosts out of my past. A danger I can’t resist. I don’t know who she is. But she feels like the sin I never stopped craving. If she’s here to destroy me… she’ll have to get in line. Because I’ve already decided: I’m not letting her go again.

"Ayah, kapan ayah pulang? Ibu terbaring di ranjang dan nggak bergerak!" Putraku menelepon Michael sambil terisak-isak hingga sulit bernapas. "Panggil saja kalau dia nggak bangun! Dasar pemalas, nggak kerja di rumah juga cuma malas-malasan seperti babi pemalas." "Cari saja ibumu kalau ada apa-apa. Aku sibuk kerja, jangan ganggu aku!" Usai bicara, Michael dengan kesal langsung memutus teleponnya. Saat itu, dia sedang sibuk bermesraan dengan sekretarisnya, sama sekali tidak punya waktu untuk pedui padaku. Hanya saja, dia tak tahu bahwa aku sudah meninggal. Aku tak akan pernah muncul lagi di hadapannya, tapi dia malah memeluk fotoku sambil menangis, memohon agar aku tidak pergi.
