My husband, Ethan, a New York tech mogul, was having a blatant affair with Tiffany, his "assistant." Tired of the humiliation, I cancelled her company credit cards and booked her a one-way ticket to a remote Bali wellness retreat. His retaliation was swift and brutal. He had my parents, John and Mary, kidnapped from their Montana home. He sent me a video: them tied up in a dilapidated barn, a digital timer ominously counting down. "Tell me where Tiffany is, Sarah, or your parents' retirement ends now." Terrified, I confessed. He then coldly directed me to an abandoned lodge upstate where he claimed they were. Rushing there, the structure collapsed as I reached them – a trap. My father was severely injured shielding us. At the hospital, Dad reminded me of our ironclad prenup: Ethan's infidelity meant immediate divorce and a massive settlement, including properties. My parents had insisted on it. I'd been naive, thinking I could reclaim my dignity with a small act of defiance. Instead, I'd endangered my family. But Ethan had underestimated me, and the foresight of my small-town parents. The game was about to change. My escape, and his downfall, began now.

Introduction

My husband, Ethan, a New York tech mogul, was having a blatant affair with Tiffany, his "assistant."

Tired of the humiliation, I cancelled her company credit cards and booked her a one-way ticket to a remote Bali wellness retreat.

His retaliation was swift and brutal. He had my parents, John and Mary, kidnapped from their Montana home.

He sent me a video: them tied up in a dilapidated barn, a digital timer ominously counting down. "Tell me where Tiffany is, Sarah, or your parents' retirement ends now."

Terrified, I confessed. He then coldly directed me to an abandoned lodge upstate where he claimed they were.

Rushing there, the structure collapsed as I reached them – a trap. My father was severely injured shielding us.

At the hospital, Dad reminded me of our ironclad prenup: Ethan's infidelity meant immediate divorce and a massive settlement, including properties. My parents had insisted on it.

I'd been naive, thinking I could reclaim my dignity with a small act of defiance. Instead, I'd endangered my family.

But Ethan had underestimated me, and the foresight of my small-town parents.

The game was about to change. My escape, and his downfall, began now.

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.
