The federal prison gate clanged shut behind me after a decade. I clutched my meager belongings, ready to rebuild my life with Mark, our shared dream, Bishop Developments, guiding me forward. But Mark wasn't there. Instead, I found him in a sprawling mansion, with Tiffany Hayes and a shocking six children – the oldest conceived exactly when I began my sentence. His cold indifference, her smug pride, and the complicity of his parents, even my own mother and father, hit harder than any prison reality. My father, then my brother, physically attacked me, while my family watched, cementing their betrayal. My decade of sacrifice, my shattered hope – it all became a bitter, mocking joke. How could everyone I loved, everyone I protected, conspire to build their perfect lives on my stolen one? Their Thanksgiving display of cruelty was the breaking point. But from the ashes of betrayal, a new resolve ignited. As my fierce prison ally, Queenie Jackson, burst through the doors, I knew: the time for apologies was over. It was time for war, and I would take back everything.

Introduction

The federal prison gate clanged shut behind me after a decade.

I clutched my meager belongings, ready to rebuild my life with Mark, our shared dream, Bishop Developments, guiding me forward.

But Mark wasn't there.

Instead, I found him in a sprawling mansion, with Tiffany Hayes and a shocking six children – the oldest conceived exactly when I began my sentence.

His cold indifference, her smug pride, and the complicity of his parents, even my own mother and father, hit harder than any prison reality.

My father, then my brother, physically attacked me, while my family watched, cementing their betrayal.

My decade of sacrifice, my shattered hope – it all became a bitter, mocking joke.

How could everyone I loved, everyone I protected, conspire to build their perfect lives on my stolen one?

Their Thanksgiving display of cruelty was the breaking point.

But from the ashes of betrayal, a new resolve ignited.

As my fierce prison ally, Queenie Jackson, burst through the doors, I knew: the time for apologies was over.

It was time for war, and I would take back everything.

The organ music swelled, painting my white wedding dress in shades of blood red. I was marrying Julian Thorne, a man who despised me, believing the lies that had ruined my reputation. This wasn't a marriage; it was a sentence, orchestrated perfectly by my stepsister, Sophia, who had always wanted Julian for herself. Everyone saw Eleanor Vance, the brilliant architect, as the luckiest woman alive, but my heart was a cold stone. As the word "I do" escaped my lips-a whispered surrender-a blinding white light engulfed me. I woke up in my old bedroom, the floral wallpaper still on the walls. My phone read October 12, 2014-ten years ago, the day of my first wedding, the one that never happened. Relief surged through me; I wasn't Julian Thorne's wife. But then dread set in as Sophia's text buzzed on my smaller, older phone: "Julian's family is coming for dinner tonight, you have to make a good impression!" It was all starting tonight, the very dinner where Sophia would introduce me to the Thornes, setting off the chain of events that would lead to my forced marriage. The contempt in Julian's eyes was already there, seeing me as a social climber, exactly the image Sophia had carefully crafted. I was trapped again, a ghost in my own life, burdened by a future I knew was coming: the Thorne family's imminent financial ruin, and my own career sacrificed to support them. But this time, I wasn't the naive girl to be manipulated. I knew all their secrets, and I would not spend another ten years as Eleanor Thorne. I would fight.
