July Fourth. I promised my twins, Leo and Lily, a trip to the new Apex Park. My husband, Ethan, assured them the fireworks would be the best. Perhaps it was just a shadow of Daniel, the man I truly loved, smiling back at me. Inside the bustling park, Ethan's phone rang. His face changed when he heard her name: Chloe. He muttered about a medical emergency and vanished, leaving me alone with our children. Then the sky opened, pouring rain, thunder booming, chaos erupting. In the frantic panic, amid the screaming crowds, I lost my little boy, Leo. Hours later, soaked and desperate, I found Lily, silent and traumatized, clutching her doll. But Leo... I found only a torn piece of his favorite blue jacket near a broken ride. At the hospital, the doctor's grim words echoed: "He didn't make it. Mangled." My world shattered, one piece for every broken promise. Outside, a TV screen flashed: "Ethan Ainsworth celebrates with Chloe Vance, announces pregnancy." My phone buzzed with Ethan's text: "Kids shouldn't wander off. Stop overreacting, Sarah. It's always drama with you." Then his voice on the phone, cold and angry: "If that defective kid is dead, just get him cremated. Fast. I don't want any more fuss." Defective kid. My son. His son. How could a father abandon his children, mock their passing, and then celebrate a new life? As the words "defective kid" echoed, a cold, hard resolve settled in my heart. With nothing left to lose, and my mother-in-law Eleanor by my side, I knew one thing. He would pay. The charade was over, and the fight had just begun.

Introduction

July Fourth.

I promised my twins, Leo and Lily, a trip to the new Apex Park.

My husband, Ethan, assured them the fireworks would be the best.

Perhaps it was just a shadow of Daniel, the man I truly loved, smiling back at me.

Inside the bustling park, Ethan's phone rang.

His face changed when he heard her name: Chloe.

He muttered about a medical emergency and vanished, leaving me alone with our children.

Then the sky opened, pouring rain, thunder booming, chaos erupting.

In the frantic panic, amid the screaming crowds, I lost my little boy, Leo.

Hours later, soaked and desperate, I found Lily, silent and traumatized, clutching her doll.

But Leo... I found only a torn piece of his favorite blue jacket near a broken ride.

At the hospital, the doctor's grim words echoed: "He didn't make it. Mangled."

My world shattered, one piece for every broken promise.

Outside, a TV screen flashed: "Ethan Ainsworth celebrates with Chloe Vance, announces pregnancy."

My phone buzzed with Ethan's text: "Kids shouldn't wander off. Stop overreacting, Sarah. It's always drama with you."

Then his voice on the phone, cold and angry: "If that defective kid is dead, just get him cremated. Fast. I don't want any more fuss."

Defective kid. My son. His son.

How could a father abandon his children, mock their passing, and then celebrate a new life?

As the words "defective kid" echoed, a cold, hard resolve settled in my heart.

With nothing left to lose, and my mother-in-law Eleanor by my side, I knew one thing.

He would pay.

The charade was over, and the fight had just begun.

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.
