It was our tenth wedding anniversary, but the celebration was interrupted by a jarring Instagram post. My husband Julian' s mistress, Brooke, shared a photo of them kissing in his high-rise office, captioned, "Closing the biggest deal of our lives. Some partnerships are just meant to be. 😉" He brought her home later, forcing me to host her and then locking me in a dark pantry when I refused to cook their "special meal." For four years, Julian had relentlessly tormented me and our daughter, Sophie, based on a cruel lie Brooke fed him. He made me book their romantic getaways, ridiculed Sophie' s finger paintings as "low-class," and destroyed my art, calling me worthless. The cruelty peaked when Brooke deliberately injured Sophie, leaving her unconscious, and Julian refused medical help until I completed an unimaginable task. He forced me into the garage, a place steeped in the trauma of my father' s death by fire, and ordered me to strip a vintage car using the very tools that had killed him. Every roar of the sander, every chemical fume, plunged me back into the horrifying night my father died, but Sophie' s bleeding face was my only anchor. I became a machine, powered by a mother' s desperate will, enduring torture to save my child from a man who now embodied pure hatred. Julian finally broke when our seven-year-old Sophie, waking in the hospital, dropped his expensive doll into the trash and calmly told him, "My mommy said my real daddy is gone." That same night, a drunken Julian confessed the elaborate lie Brooke had spun, thinking I' d cheated, unraveling his entire world. But he couldn't see that David, his assistant, had helped me secure his signature on airtight divorce papers days ago. Sophie and I finally walked away, leaving him kneeling defeated in his hollow mansion, driving West towards a new, truly free life under the vast Texas sky.

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.
