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.
