My daughter, Lily, just won the Grand Prize at the California State Youth Tech Challenge, securing a coveted spot at MIT's summer program. Pure joy lit up her face after years of dedication to her "Eco-Clean Bot." But the applause died instantly as a woman, Jessica Hayes, announced her intention to buy the award for her son with a $500,000 donation. The organizer, citing a "sponsor's priority clause," surprisingly agreed. Jessica and her smug son, Brandon, mocked Lily, sneering that her hard work was useless against their family's money. Then, the man I trusted, Mark Olsen, CEO of *my* company and Lily's father, brazenly sided with them. He publicly declared Jessica the "love of his life" and abandoned us, choosing his mistress over his daughter's dream. My heart shattered watching Lily's face crumple, seeing her future stolen by this betrayal. How could the man whose career I built, using my own money, so cruelly humiliate us both? But as he sealed his fate, denying his own family, I knew this charade had served its purpose. The time for the true power behind Nova Dynamics to step into the light, and exact a cold, precise vengeance, had arrived.

On the night of my career-defining art exhibition, I stood completely alone. My husband, Dante Sovrano, the most feared man in Chicago, had promised he wouldn’t miss it for the world. Instead, he was on the evening news. He was shielding another woman—his ruthless business partner—from a downpour, letting his own thousand-dollar suit get soaked just to protect her. The headline flashed below them, calling their new alliance a "power move" that would reshape the city. The guests at my gallery immediately began to whisper. Their pitying looks turned my greatest triumph into a public spectacle of humiliation. Then his text arrived, a cold, final confirmation of my place in his life: “Something came up. Isabella needed me. You understand. Business.” For four years, I had been his possession. A quiet, artistic wife kept in a gilded cage on the top floor of his skyscraper. I poured all my loneliness and heartbreak onto my canvases, but he never truly saw my art. He never truly saw me. He just saw another one of his assets. My heart didn't break that night. It turned to ice. He hadn't just neglected me; he had erased me. So the next morning, I walked into his office and handed him a stack of gallery contracts. He barely glanced up, annoyed at the interruption to his empire-building. He snatched the pen and signed on the line I’d marked. He didn’t know the page tucked directly underneath was our divorce decree. He had just signed away his wife like she was nothing more than an invoice for art supplies.
