I barely had two pennies to rub together, living in a small back-house room the Petersons let me use, but at least I had Tiffany. Tiffany Peterson, my beautiful fiancée, was my world. That was, until she didn't come home from whatever party she' d gone to. The next morning, Julian Astor III, New York' s notorious playboy, appeared. He smirked, waving Tiffany's silk scarf in my face. "Found it in my penthouse this morning. Tiffany left in a bit of a hurry. You'll be seeing a lot more of her." Tiffany confirmed it all, not a trace of remorse on her face. Our engagement? "A formality, darling. Julian is my future." Later, Julian returned to my room, his goons beating my only friend, Mike, just for asking questions. Julian then detailed intimate acts with Tiffany, twisting the knife. When I confronted the Petersons, my adoptive parents, they sneered: "You're a nobody, Alex. An orphan we took in out of charity. You will go along with it."

The woman I loved, my adoptive family, all conspiring to humiliate and discard me like trash. Why? What had I ever done to deserve such betrayal and cruelty? Broken and devoid of hope, I started packing my worn duffel bag – the only thing left from my parents.

A stranger named Chloe Vanderbilt later saw it and whispered of "a prominent family, a lost heir, connected by a crescent symbol." Was there more to my past than I knew?

Introduction

I barely had two pennies to rub together, living in a small back-house room the Petersons let me use, but at least I had Tiffany.

Tiffany Peterson, my beautiful fiancée, was my world.

That was, until she didn't come home from whatever party she' d gone to.

The next morning, Julian Astor III, New York' s notorious playboy, appeared.

He smirked, waving Tiffany's silk scarf in my face.

"Found it in my penthouse this morning. Tiffany left in a bit of a hurry. You'll be seeing a lot more of her."

Tiffany confirmed it all, not a trace of remorse on her face.

Our engagement? "A formality, darling. Julian is my future."

Later, Julian returned to my room, his goons beating my only friend, Mike, just for asking questions.

Julian then detailed intimate acts with Tiffany, twisting the knife.

When I confronted the Petersons, my adoptive parents, they sneered: "You're a nobody, Alex. An orphan we took in out of charity. You will go along with it."

My supposed family, the people who raised me, were selling me out, orchestrating my humiliation for their social climb.

My world shattered.

How could this be happening?

The woman I loved, my adoptive family, all conspiring to humiliate and discard me like trash.

Why?

What had I ever done to deserve such betrayal and cruelty?

Broken and devoid of hope, I started packing my worn duffel bag – the only thing left from my parents.

Then, something fell out: a faded photograph of a woman with my eyes, wearing a unique crescent-moon pendant.

A stranger named Chloe Vanderbilt later saw it and whispered of "a prominent family, a lost heir, connected by a crescent symbol."

Was there more to my past than I knew?

And could this secret be my only way out of this nightmare?

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
