Senator Harrison believed he understood my ambition: a seat at his influential table, maybe even his bed. He was utterly mistaken. My aspirations were far larger, rooted in the unseen, ruthless power that truly governed D.C. It all started with a public humiliation from a new-money donor' s entitled daughter, which I subtly handled through my estranged, powerful father, Marcus. Then, the calculated retaliation escalated into horror: my apartment engulfed in flames, a shadowy figure in my doorway, and me barely escaping certain death. My temporary life, along with the identity of Chloe Cheney, was completely erased, officially declared a tragic accident. The cold dread settled in, the unsettling question of whether my own father, Marcus, had ordered the attack, considering me a disposable "loose end" in his shadowy world. That gnawing suspicion, coupled with the immediate need for survival, transformed me. Chloe Cheney had died, but Ava was reborn, stepping into Washington D.C. with a meticulously crafted new identity. This new persona was not a disguise, but a calculated opportunity to find my would-be killer and claim the power I truly deserved.

Introduction

Senator Harrison believed he understood my ambition: a seat at his influential table, maybe even his bed.

He was utterly mistaken.

My aspirations were far larger, rooted in the unseen, ruthless power that truly governed D.C.

It all started with a public humiliation from a new-money donor' s entitled daughter, which I subtly handled through my estranged, powerful father, Marcus.

Then, the calculated retaliation escalated into horror: my apartment engulfed in flames, a shadowy figure in my doorway, and me barely escaping certain death.

My temporary life, along with the identity of Chloe Cheney, was completely erased, officially declared a tragic accident.

The cold dread settled in, the unsettling question of whether my own father, Marcus, had ordered the attack, considering me a disposable "loose end" in his shadowy world.

That gnawing suspicion, coupled with the immediate need for survival, transformed me.

Chloe Cheney had died, but Ava was reborn, stepping into Washington D.C. with a meticulously crafted new identity.

This new persona was not a disguise, but a calculated opportunity to find my would-be killer and claim the power I truly deserved.

The quarterly board meeting was standard, a high-stakes, productive morning for me, Scarlett King, CEO of King Global. My phone vibrated discreetly on the mahogany, a text from my oldest friend, Maria, flashing urgently across the screen. "Scarlett. Urgent. Check this link. I'm so sorry." The link opened an Instagram reel, and my blood ran ice cold. It was Desert Mirage, my champion Arabian stallion-a treasured legacy from my grandfather-terrified, his magnificent coat matted with cheap glitter. A woman, Tiffany Starr, brutally yanked his reins. Then, sickeningly, my husband Ethan's laugh echoed, encouraging her. The caption seared: "Ethan says I can handle anything! Even this rich bitch's pony." My hands clenched. When I called, Ethan sounded annoyed. "Scarlett? Tiffany was just having fun. He's just a horse." He hung up, dismissing me as "uptight" to someone nearby, the line going dead. "Just a horse." My horse. My legacy. He dismissed it. He dismissed me. He sided with her. This wasn't mere abuse; it was a public desecration of my soul's depth, my family's legacy. The humiliation was a raw, physical ache, hardening into cold, pure fury. This was more than betrayal; it was a declaration of war. I didn't scream, I didn't cry. My mind honed to laser focus. I buzzed Marcus, my head of security. "Tiffany Starr is at the Chateau Marmont. Remove her. Publicly. Serve a restraining order. Revoke all King Global studio access." They wanted a war. They would get one they'd regret.
