Three years at Yale, I missed the Texas heat and the Sterling ranch, counting down the days to surprise my sister, Lily. I pictured our joyful reunion, the familiar echo of laughter in the grand halls. Instead, a chilling silence hung over the mansion. Her familiar room was replaced by a gaudy guest suite. A faint, rhythmic creaking led me to the gardens. There, under a wilting magnolia, stood a crude dog run. And inside, a tattered pink fabric betrayed the unimaginable – Lily. My sister, rail-thin, hair matted, whimpered, "No... no cookies. Cookies are for good people. Master says I'm a pet." Just then, Pamela, my stepmother, emerged, smug and heavily pregnant, dangling Lily's half of our family's sacred Falcon emblem. "Ava, darling. Home a bit sooner than expected, aren't we?" "That badge means power, and Lily graciously gave me her share," she purred, her gaze predatory, eyeing mine. How could Robert, my own father, stand by while his daughter was brutalized? He had shielded Pamela, allowed her to twist our family's legacy into this grotesque nightmare. This wasn't merely a family dispute; it was an act of heinous cruelty. A deliberate erasure of everything my mother had built. And I, the rightful heir, was now utterly alone, powerless. When her goons cornered me, tearing away my own Falcon emblem, she declared Falcon International finally hers. But they didn't know that under my shirt, hidden by years of preparation, was a silent beacon. With a single, desperate press, I had activated the Ghost Tactical Squad-Falcon's most elite, most discreet unit. The game was about to change.

Introduction

Three years at Yale, I missed the Texas heat and the Sterling ranch, counting down the days to surprise my sister, Lily.

I pictured our joyful reunion, the familiar echo of laughter in the grand halls.

Instead, a chilling silence hung over the mansion. Her familiar room was replaced by a gaudy guest suite.

A faint, rhythmic creaking led me to the gardens. There, under a wilting magnolia, stood a crude dog run.

And inside, a tattered pink fabric betrayed the unimaginable – Lily.

My sister, rail-thin, hair matted, whimpered, "No... no cookies. Cookies are for good people. Master says I'm a pet."

Just then, Pamela, my stepmother, emerged, smug and heavily pregnant, dangling Lily's half of our family's sacred Falcon emblem.

"Ava, darling. Home a bit sooner than expected, aren't we?"

"That badge means power, and Lily graciously gave me her share," she purred, her gaze predatory, eyeing mine.

How could Robert, my own father, stand by while his daughter was brutalized?

He had shielded Pamela, allowed her to twist our family's legacy into this grotesque nightmare.

This wasn't merely a family dispute; it was an act of heinous cruelty. A deliberate erasure of everything my mother had built.

And I, the rightful heir, was now utterly alone, powerless.

When her goons cornered me, tearing away my own Falcon emblem, she declared Falcon International finally hers.

But they didn't know that under my shirt, hidden by years of preparation, was a silent beacon.

With a single, desperate press, I had activated the Ghost Tactical Squad-Falcon's most elite, most discreet unit.

The game was about to change.

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.
