For seven years, I was Ethan Lester, the perfect prop for Jocelyn Gordon' s Silicon Valley empire, trapped in a gilded cage designed to project her ideal family image. My reward? Enduring her chilling indifference, the parade of her lovers, and watching my soul slowly erode. But when her latest boy toy, Ryan, brazenly sported my deceased mother' s cherished heirloom ring, and Jocelyn casually dismissed my outrage, a chilling calm settled over me. Then came the accident: crushed in a car wreck I was driving for Ryan, bleeding out, I watched Jocelyn rush past me, her only concern the "boy toy's" minor scratch. The sheer, sickening cruelty of her neglect was more profound than any physical pain, a clarity that screamed: You are nothing to her. I survived, but that man died in the wreckage; a new one was born, fueled by an icy resolve. Now, I' m building my own empire, while the woman who threw away my life is about to watch hers crumble, piece by painful piece.

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.
