My world shattered in the sterile hospital air, moments after my twin sons, Leo and Max, were born. Overhearing a hushed conversation, I discovered Max wasn't mine – he was my wife Olivia's lover Marcus's son, a fact confirmed by a secret DNA test. My mother, beside me, gasped, then collapsed, dying on the spot from the shock of Olivia' s betrayal. Olivia abandoned me and Leo, taking Max away, only to unleash a torrent of public humiliation. Marcus plastered their family photos online, Olivia still wearing my wedding ring, brazenly claiming "my woman, my son." The city' s gossip consumed me; I was the cuckolded fool. But the betrayal intensified. My culinary competition portfolio, my life' s work, vanished. Days later, Marcus stood on stage, presenting my stolen ideas as his own. And then Olivia, my wife, painted me as a delusional lunatic, publicly tearing down my credibility to protect her lover. How could she be so callously cruel? My mother was dead because of her, my son abandoned, my career destroyed, and I was branded the insane one while they thrived. The injustice was a suffocating weight. But the broken pieces of my life sparked a furious resolve. I threw my wedding ring into the river, a final severance. I would leave this poisoned city, escape the whispers, and take Leo, my real son, far away. We would rebuild, find peace, and finally, be free from her shadow.

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.
