Introduction

My life was perfect.

I was an event coordinator, planning my Maui honeymoon with Ethan, my fiancé of five years.

What he didn't know was I was quietly living like this on purpose, proving myself before revealing I was the heiress to a massive hospitality empire.

Then, my world imploded.

My job termination letter landed on the same day Ethan confessed his boss, Victoria, was pregnant with his baby.

And he admitted he'd orchestrated my firing, claiming it was a "strategic move" for his career and "our" future.

He then kicked me out of our apartment after Victoria, his baby mama, vomited on my shoes right in front of him.

I tried to escape to Maui, our supposed honeymoon destination, only to find them there.

Ethan, unashamed, humiliated me on the beach, accusing me of stalking him.

But it got worse.

Victoria and he decided to make a public spectacle, branding me as an unstable harasser at a company mixer.

Standing there, about to be shamed into silence, I wondered how five years of my life, built on a lie for his sake, could end in such utter public degradation and betrayal.

Was I truly going to lose everything for a man who couldn't see past his ambition and an underhanded boss?

Just as I thought I'd hit rock bottom, the doors swung open.

My billionaire father, Mr. Miller, walked in with Liam, my childhood friend.

And that' s when everything changed.

The cold, damp air clung to me as I stood on the porch of the Hayes family home. It was late, the kind of late where the world feels heavy and silent. I swallowed hard and asked Mrs. Hayes, "Is it true? That Liam... that he's been in love with me? His whole life?" Her brilliant smile was the answer, confirming a devotion I hadn't recognized. For years, I had held a secret, hopeless love for my adoptive brother, Ethan Miller, who had practically raised me. Sketchbooks filled with his face were my hidden treasure-until he found them. His face wasn' t just shocked; it was filled with pure disgust. "This is sick, Chloe," he spat, throwing the sketchbook at my feet. From that day, my life became a living hell. His new girlfriend, Madison Lee, my college roommate, systematically framed me for everything. Ethan, my Ethan, believed her every time, his cold, disappointed eyes killing a piece of me with every glance. The final blow came when he announced their wedding, then threw me out of the house. The Chloe who loved Ethan Miller died that night. Tonight, a new Chloe was born, one who would sever every tie and burn every bridge. I doused my sketchbooks in lighter fluid and watched them burn, his smile turning to ash. I texted Liam Hayes one word: Yes. He immediately replied, I'm on the first flight back. Don't go anywhere. I'm coming home. Ethan stood, his eyes wild with confusion, as he stared at the burning remains of my past. "Why?" he demanded, as I quoted him, "Because they're disgusting. You said so yourself." I announced my engagement to Liam, on the exact same date as his wedding. My parents nodded, relieved, but Mrs. Miller's smile faltered. "But... Chloe, that's Ethan and Madison's wedding day." "I know," I replied. "It's a good day to start a new life."
