My son, Leo, a quiet kid, called from his elite private school. He' d been in a fight. As a busy tech CEO, I dropped everything and rushed there. But instead of justice, I found a nightmare. School officials sided with the bully, Dylan Thorne – whose father, Marcus, falsely claimed ties to my company and slandered me. Then came the gut punch. My own wife, Isabelle, had been having a secret affair with Thorne and was siphoning money from my accounts to fund his schemes, even apologizing for Leo to protect her lover. The betrayal burned hotter than any corporate takeover. Thorne then had the audacity to hold a public press conference, painting me as a violent nobody trying to extort him. My son was being used as a pawn, his reputation trashed. This wasn't just about a schoolyard brawl anymore; it was a full-blown assault on my family and my integrity. How could my wife betray me so completely? How could a con artist like Thorne think he could use my company's name and get away with it? And why were the so-called educators at my son's school falling for such blatant lies? Enough. I arrived at Thorne's spectacle. He wanted a show? He was about to get one. "My name is Ethan Cole," I stated, calm as ice. "And I am Starlight Games. I founded it. I own it."

He' d been in a fight. As a busy tech CEO, I dropped everything and rushed there.

But instead of justice, I found a nightmare.

School officials sided with the bully, Dylan Thorne – whose father, Marcus, falsely claimed ties to my company and slandered me.

Then came the gut punch. My own wife, Isabelle, had been having a secret affair with Thorne and was siphoning money from my accounts to fund his schemes, even apologizing for Leo to protect her lover.

The betrayal burned hotter than any corporate takeover.

Thorne then had the audacity to hold a public press conference, painting me as a violent nobody trying to extort him.

My son was being used as a pawn, his reputation trashed.

This wasn't just about a schoolyard brawl anymore; it was a full-blown assault on my family and my integrity.

How could my wife betray me so completely? How could a con artist like Thorne think he could use my company's name and get away with it? And why were the so-called educators at my son's school falling for such blatant lies?

Enough. I arrived at Thorne's spectacle. He wanted a show? He was about to get one. "My name is Ethan Cole," I stated, calm as ice. "And I am Starlight Games. I founded it. I own it."

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.
