I was Emily Hawthorne, heir to a legendary family cryptology business, destined to marry Ethan Kent, the charismatic golden boy of East Coast finance. We were the power couple, set to merge empires. I loved him with every fiber, sharing my family's deepest secrets, fiercely protecting his public image, and even giving him two beautiful children. But once he had everything – power, prestige, my family's intellectual fortune – he revealed his true, monstrous self. He orchestrated the brutal slaughter of my entire family, without mercy. Not even our own son and daughter were spared. His chilling justification echoed in my mind, "It was you, Emily. You and your damn family. You're the reason I couldn't save Clara from her troubles sooner. This is all on you." He blamed me for *his* forbidden love for a socialite. I felt the phantom bullet, the searing flames, as my world ended. How could the man I adored, the father of my children, repay my unwavering loyalty with such unthinkable, cold-blooded annihilation? The betrayal was absolute, the injustice a burning inferno. My family gone. My children gone. All for his ruthless ambition. Then, I opened my eyes. I was back in my bedroom, on the very morning of our engagement announcement. A second chance. This time, I knew every rule of his twisted game, and I would make him pay for every single tear, every drop of blood.

I was Emily Hawthorne, heir to a legendary family cryptology business, destined to marry Ethan Kent, the charismatic golden boy of East Coast finance.

We were the power couple, set to merge empires.

I loved him with every fiber, sharing my family's deepest secrets, fiercely protecting his public image, and even giving him two beautiful children.

But once he had everything – power, prestige, my family's intellectual fortune – he revealed his true, monstrous self.

He orchestrated the brutal slaughter of my entire family, without mercy.

Not even our own son and daughter were spared.

His chilling justification echoed in my mind, "It was you, Emily. You and your damn family. You're the reason I couldn't save Clara from her troubles sooner. This is all on you."

He blamed me for *his* forbidden love for a socialite.

I felt the phantom bullet, the searing flames, as my world ended.

How could the man I adored, the father of my children, repay my unwavering loyalty with such unthinkable, cold-blooded annihilation?

The betrayal was absolute, the injustice a burning inferno.

My family gone.

My children gone.

All for his ruthless ambition.

Then, I opened my eyes.

I was back in my bedroom, on the very morning of our engagement announcement.

A second chance.

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.
