The supercilious cow who just hired me for my dream job didn't do so because of my impeccable filing or my ability to type 80 words per minute.

It was the worst day of my life. I know most people say that about something obviously horrific—a first heartbreak, a fatal illness, or the funeral of a loved one—but my situation was a little different. Not only was it my wedding day, but it was also the day I chose to die. Two men. The first, my master, my impossible love. The other, his brother, a mafioso I was meant to ruin.
