At his debut album party, I watched my boyfriend, Ethan White, on top of the world. His success, though, was built on my quiet sacrifices, my hidden connections as Amelia Sterling, heir to a Texas oil fortune. I'd given up everything to be "Amy," the girl who loved his music, not his money. But his slick new manager, Sophia Rivera, had other plans. She turned Ethan's triumph into my public execution. On the giant screen, my face flashed, doctored photos painting me as a manipulative, cheating schemer. "Gross Misconduct," read the bold red text next to my name as Ethan fired me, his eyes colder than I ever imagined. He accused me of using him, of having a "sugar daddy," pointing to a photo of me with my own father. Sophia smashed my phone and he locked me in our apartment, threatening to blacklist me from the industry, while she faked a pregnancy to solidify her place. My heart shattered into a million pieces. Every sacrifice, every hidden connection I pulled for him, twisted into a weapon. How could the man I loved, for whom I gave everything, betray me so cruelly, so publicly? Trapped and heartbroken, one last flicker of hope remained. A battered burner phone, tucked away, for emergencies. With trembling fingers, I called the only person strong enough to turn this nightmare around. "Dad," I choked out, revealing the truth of Amelia Sterling for the first time in years. Ethan White had just declared war on the wrong woman, and he had no idea what was coming.

Introduction

At his debut album party, I watched my boyfriend, Ethan White, on top of the world.

His success, though, was built on my quiet sacrifices, my hidden connections as Amelia Sterling, heir to a Texas oil fortune.

I'd given up everything to be "Amy," the girl who loved his music, not his money.

But his slick new manager, Sophia Rivera, had other plans.

She turned Ethan's triumph into my public execution.

On the giant screen, my face flashed, doctored photos painting me as a manipulative, cheating schemer.

"Gross Misconduct," read the bold red text next to my name as Ethan fired me, his eyes colder than I ever imagined.

He accused me of using him, of having a "sugar daddy," pointing to a photo of me with my own father.

Sophia smashed my phone and he locked me in our apartment, threatening to blacklist me from the industry, while she faked a pregnancy to solidify her place.

My heart shattered into a million pieces.

Every sacrifice, every hidden connection I pulled for him, twisted into a weapon.

How could the man I loved, for whom I gave everything, betray me so cruelly, so publicly?

Trapped and heartbroken, one last flicker of hope remained.

A battered burner phone, tucked away, for emergencies.

With trembling fingers, I called the only person strong enough to turn this nightmare around.

"Dad," I choked out, revealing the truth of Amelia Sterling for the first time in years.

Ethan White had just declared war on the wrong woman, and he had no idea what was coming.

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.
