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.

In New York, everyone knew Grady Allen lived for me, Emely Harrison. He was my shadow, my protector, my world, and our future seemed inevitable. But as I lay dying from ALS, I overheard him whisper, "Emely, my duty to you is done. If there is a next life, I pray I can be with Kandy." My world shattered. His lifelong devotion wasn't love, but guilt for Kandy Paul, a woman who had taken her own life after he' d left her. Reborn, I found Grady with amnesia, deeply in love with Kandy. To give him the happiness he truly desired, I concealed my own early-onset ALS diagnosis and broke off our engagement, telling his parents, "I won't chain him to a dying woman out of a sense of duty he doesn't even remember." Despite my efforts, Kandy' s insecurity led her to frame me, accusing me of throwing her engagement ring and setting fire to the mansion. Grady, believing her, threw me into a muddy pit and later choked me, snarling, "You're not even as good as a dog. At least a dog is loyal." During a kidnapping, I saved Kandy, nearly dying myself, only to wake in a hospital to learn Grady had spared no expense for her, while I lay abandoned. Why did he choose her, even when his body instinctively reached for me? Why did he believe her lies? I had given him everything, even my life, to set him free. Now, I would truly be free. I married my brother, Jeremiah, who had always loved me, and left Grady behind, whispering, "Be happy, Grady. We're even now. I'll never see you again."
