Blurb：
After seven years living in fear as the husband of legendary undercover cop Ginnifer, I thought our country safe house would be our fresh start. Instead, it became a death trap—my parents brutally murdered, my five-year-old daughter Daisy struck down while calling for her mother, and me buried alive in a pit. My dying phone call revealed Ginnifer's cold betrayal: she used us as bait to protect cartel heir Alex.
Now a ghost, I drift through memories of our home, witnessing Ginnifer's twisted devotion to Alex—the son of the monster who destroyed my family. She gives him my money, my slippers, even plans to force me to be his servant. But she doesn’t know I’m watching. And I will make her regret every lie, every cruel word, especially when she discovers Daisy has been missing for weeks. The real game is just beginning.

The day my wife Ginnifer—the legendary undercover cop—vowed to quit, she promised a new start at a country safe house. I believed our seven years of fear were finally over.But the remote ranch was an ambush. Vengeance struck brutally: my parents beaten to death, my five-year-old daughter struck with a shovel as she cried for her mother. We were thrown into a pit and buried alive.
In the suffocating dark, with my dying phone, I called her. She was at a gala, celebrated as a hero beside the cartel kingpin’s son—the man she’d turned.
“You used us as bait,” I choked out.
Her voice was cold. “So what if I did? Alex’s father was a monster. Protecting him is my duty.” A champagne flute clinked. “You knew the risks. Now lie low—I have a celebration to return to.”

The line went dead. The last of the air was crushed from my lungs, and the darkness consumed me.
I don’t know how long I was gone. When consciousness returned, I was a weightless, transparent specter, a ghost adrift on the currents of memory.
I floated back to the home Ginnifer and I had shared. I saw her pulling up to the house, helping Alex out of the passenger side of her car.
His arm was wrapped in a crisp white bandage. “Ginnifer,” he murmured, his voice a low thrum of feigned pain. “It hurts so much. Do you think it’ll heal properly? How will I be able to help you with your files… or go on missions with you?”
Ginnifer squeezed his hand, her voice softer and more tender than I had ever heard it. “Don’t worry. It’s just a scratch. You just focus on resting. I’ll have Leo take care of you when he gets back. He’s good at that sort of thing.”
I hovered in the entryway, watching as she knelt and slipped my house slippers onto Alex’s feet.
A hollow ache emanated from where my heart used to be. This was our home. The home we’d built over seven years of a fractured, dangerous marriage. And now, she’d brought the son of my family’s murderer into it, intending for me to serve him like a butler.
In the living room, she settled Alex on the sofa and went straight to my study. She pulled a debit card from my desk drawer and pressed it into his hand.
“Leo’s been messing around with some online shop. Made a little money,” she said dismissively. “It’s not much, but take it. Buy yourself something nice.”
Alex made a show of refusing. “I can’t, Ginnifer. This is Leo’s money.”
Ginnifer’s brow furrowed with impatience. “What’s his is mine. Hell, he’s mine. What’s the big deal?”
She forced the card into his hand, then picked up her phone, muttering in frustration. “I’ve called him a thousand times. Is he dead, or did he run off with someone?” She sighed dramatically. “I swear, what’s the point of having a husband? The second my gala is over, I have to come home and play nurse, and there isn’t even a hot meal waiting for me.”
Alex let out a low, magnetic chuckle. “Don’t be mad at him, Ginnifer. He’s probably just sulking. You know, because you chose to protect me instead of going to his little ranch getaway.”
