My own mother, Brenda, killed my infant daughter using a hot dog. What followed was unthinkable: my father, my brother, and Brenda herself spun a tale, blaming me. They labeled me hysterical, a drama queen, an overprotective new mom with 'new-fangled nonsense.' Brenda sobbed to the police, playing the role of a grieving grandmother, and the world swallowed her lies. I lost my career, my life was shattered, and my husband' s desperate pleas for truth were ignored. Drowning in despair, I sought an escape from the pain they inflicted, a final, desperate act. How could my own family turn on me so completely? How could their twisted 'love' and suffocating control culminate in such monstrous injustice, leaving me utterly broken and voiceless? The betrayal was suffocating, the blame unbearable. But then, I woke up. Lily' s piercing cry from the baby monitor was a miracle. She was alive, and the calendar had reset, weeks before the DUI, months before the hot dog incident. This wasn't a replay of my nightmare; it was a terrifying, second chance. They destroyed me once by their rules. Now, I remember every manipulative word, every insidious act of 'care' that reeked of control. This time, I' m playing by my rules. And I' m coming for justice they' ll never see coming.

On the night of my career-defining art exhibition, I stood completely alone. My husband, Dante Sovrano, the most feared man in Chicago, had promised he wouldn’t miss it for the world. Instead, he was on the evening news. He was shielding another woman—his ruthless business partner—from a downpour, letting his own thousand-dollar suit get soaked just to protect her. The headline flashed below them, calling their new alliance a "power move" that would reshape the city. The guests at my gallery immediately began to whisper. Their pitying looks turned my greatest triumph into a public spectacle of humiliation. Then his text arrived, a cold, final confirmation of my place in his life: “Something came up. Isabella needed me. You understand. Business.” For four years, I had been his possession. A quiet, artistic wife kept in a gilded cage on the top floor of his skyscraper. I poured all my loneliness and heartbreak onto my canvases, but he never truly saw my art. He never truly saw me. He just saw another one of his assets. My heart didn't break that night. It turned to ice. He hadn't just neglected me; he had erased me. So the next morning, I walked into his office and handed him a stack of gallery contracts. He barely glanced up, annoyed at the interruption to his empire-building. He snatched the pen and signed on the line I’d marked. He didn’t know the page tucked directly underneath was our divorce decree. He had just signed away his wife like she was nothing more than an invoice for art supplies.
