I had been with Valerie since childhood; we were as close as sisters.

The Flynn family was a prestigious and influential clan in the region. When Valerie came of age, her father meticulously selected the newly crowned top scholar in the national exams as her future husband. This scholar, Nolan, was not only graceful but also exceptionally talented. In my eyes, he was indeed a worthy match for Valerie.

Although Valerie had never seen Nolan in person, she had already fallen for him through his portrait. Everyone eagerly anticipated the union of this perfect couple and the beautiful future they would share.

However, fate took a cruel turn on the eve of Valerie's wedding. The vast Flynn estate was raided overnight. All the men were exiled, and the women were forced into servitude as government courtesans. Only Valerie and I escaped this calamity because we had gone out to play.

Valerie's pale, delicate hands clutched her disheveled hair, her long eyelashes quivering as if she still couldn't believe that her once vibrant home had turned into an empty shell overnight. Watching her sit in the carriage, her face filled with disbelief, my heart ached.

She knelt, disheveled and desperate, her voice pleading as she spoke.

"Karlee, this is just a nightmare, right?"

"It's a dream, a dream..."

As she spoke, she made to jump out of the carriage. I immediately pulled her back. Seeing Valerie in such a dazed state, I raised my voice at her for the first time.

"Valerie, if you go down now, you'll only be throwing your life away! We need to find Nolan. He will surely know how to save the Flynn family."

My seven-year marriage to Olivia Hayes, a powerful CEO, seemed perfect from the outside. But then, a single photo on social media shattered everything: my wife, laughing intimately with her much younger personal assistant, Liam Thorne, proudly wearing the platinum cufflink I designed for our fifth anniversary. When I confronted her, Olivia felt no shame, dismissively claiming it was "just a cufflink" and proposing an "open arrangement" where I could find someone else. The humiliation deepened when I went to Hayes Enterprises, the company I helped build, only to be ambushed by Liam. He taunted me, flaunting his new status and claiming my office, before having me assaulted by security while Olivia watched, choosing to protect her lover' s image over mine. My world crumbled as the video of the assault went viral, and Olivia, facing public backlash, demanded I sign over my company shares to Liam as an "apology" for my "unhinged behavior." The sheer audacity and betrayal left me hollow, but I refused to be manipulated. I tore up the share transfer agreement, signed the divorce papers, and walked away from everything, planning to start anew in New York. But Olivia, ever the master manipulator, convinced me to stay for a "truce," only to publicize her affair with Liam at a family gala, where he cruelly tricked me into stepping into hot coffee. The final straw came when Olivia fussed over Liam's fake injury, then dismissed my actual second-degree burn with a casual "Go home and put some toothpaste on it." I drove straight to LAX, bought a one-way ticket to New York, and left everything behind-my marriage, my company, and the toxic remnants of a life that was never truly mine. Little did I know, this agonizing end was just the beginning of reclaiming my true self and finding a love I never thought possible.

The air in the Miller family living room was thick and heavy, like quicksand under my worn-out sneakers. My adoptive brother, Brandon, looked at me with feigned pain, gesturing to expertly forged documents accusing me of selling company secrets. "This is a mistake," I croaked, the first words I' d said in ten minutes. My adoptive father, Richard, rumbled about betrayal and corporate espionage. Sarah, my ex-fiancée, ripped off the ring I'd saved two years for, calling me a "traitor" and a "common thief." Then Chloe, my adoptive sister, held up her phone, live-streaming my humiliation to millions. It was a perfectly orchestrated execution. Brandon whispered, "You were always in the way," before shoving me down, my wrist screaming as I fell. My adopted mother, Eleanor, looked at me with pure revulsion, demanding I be removed. Richard declared me disowned, my shares forfeited. They sentenced me to a "wellness retreat" indefinitely, a "death sentence" they called it. But I smiled. A strange, serene smile. "A wellness retreat?" I asked, my voice steady. "Away from all of this? No work? No family obligations?" I looked Richard straight in the eye. "Thank you," I said, my smile widening. "Honestly. Thank you." The silence in the room was sharp, crackling with their disbelief. "This isn' t a vacation, Alex," he snapped, his composure slipping. "I know," I said. "It' s better. It' s freedom." They thought they were sending me to prison, but they just handed me the key. They thought they were punishing me, but they had no idea they' d just given me the greatest gift of all.
