Tonight was our tenth anniversary, wrapping up ten years of a meticulously kept contractual marriage. For a decade, I, Ethan Lester, had been the silent architect behind my wife Sabrina Chadwick' s booming real estate empire. I managed her entire life, a dutiful husband and housekeeper, all to repay her for saving my father' s life. But then, she walked in, not alone, but with a smug-faced young man. "So this is the famous kept man," Caleb sneered, his words echoing through our Manhattan penthouse lobby. Sabrina, my wife, my partner of ten years, pulled him towards the elevator, her expression chillingly indifferent, utterly ignoring me. She didn' t care that her protégé was publicly humiliating me. She didn' t care what I felt when I overheard them that night, or the next morning when she ordered me to make them breakfast. I had been nothing but a loyal servant, and now, even that seemed to be beneath her consideration. I was left on a gurney in a crowded hospital hallway with a broken ankle after a car crash SHE forced me into, while she pampered Caleb over a scratch. That was the moment I realized the ultimate insult: I was just a possession, easily discarded. When the doctor asked for my family contacts, I looked him dead in the eye and said, "I have no family. Take her name off." I had been a fool to ever think love could bloom from a bargain, or that I could ever truly matter to her. Now, instead of cleaning her mess, I' m building my own empire. She desperately wants me back, but she has no idea what' s coming.

Introduction

Tonight was our tenth anniversary, wrapping up ten years of a meticulously kept contractual marriage.

For a decade, I, Ethan Lester, had been the silent architect behind my wife Sabrina Chadwick' s booming real estate empire.

I managed her entire life, a dutiful husband and housekeeper, all to repay her for saving my father' s life.

But then, she walked in, not alone, but with a smug-faced young man.

"So this is the famous kept man," Caleb sneered, his words echoing through our Manhattan penthouse lobby.

Sabrina, my wife, my partner of ten years, pulled him towards the elevator, her expression chillingly indifferent, utterly ignoring me.

She didn' t care that her protégé was publicly humiliating me.

She didn' t care what I felt when I overheard them that night, or the next morning when she ordered me to make them breakfast.

I had been nothing but a loyal servant, and now, even that seemed to be beneath her consideration.

I was left on a gurney in a crowded hospital hallway with a broken ankle after a car crash SHE forced me into, while she pampered Caleb over a scratch.

That was the moment I realized the ultimate insult: I was just a possession, easily discarded.

When the doctor asked for my family contacts, I looked him dead in the eye and said, "I have no family. Take her name off."

I had been a fool to ever think love could bloom from a bargain, or that I could ever truly matter to her.

Now, instead of cleaning her mess, I' m building my own empire.

She desperately wants me back, but she has no idea what' s coming.

"Are you sure you packed the antique vase?" I asked my husband, David, my voice echoing in our half-empty living room, packed for our big move overseas. We were starting a new life, a new chapter. But then, an email popped up on his laptop screen from a woman named Lisa Chang, a one-word subject line: "Congratulations." My heart hammered as I clicked it open. "Heard she signed everything. You' re finally free. Can' t wait to start our life together. The baby and I are so proud of you." The baby. The words hit me like a punch. Lisa was pregnant. I was numb as I found my way to the bedroom, the silver locket David gave me on our first anniversary, now felt like a lie. That evening, at a farewell dinner with David' s family, Lisa was there, seated right next to him. Eleanor, David's mother, raised her glass, triumph in her eyes: "A toast. To David, for all his success. And to new beginnings." She looked pointedly at Lisa. I heard David and Lisa talking in a private alcove. "Is she suspicious?" Lisa asked. "No," David replied. "She has no idea. She signed the papers without a second thought. By the time the divorce is finalized, she' ll be on the other side of the world." "And the house?" "The lawyer said it' s all clean. The assets are protected. We' re set, Lisa. Just like we planned." Then, the final blow: "I felt the baby kick today." My carefully constructed life had shattered. I had been played, every step of the way, just a pawn in their cruel game. I was nothing but a temporary placeholder, designed to be disposed of so they could begin their new life. I wouldn' t let them win. I would fight back, not for revenge, but for myself.

I was just sixteen when Hurricane Haven swept away everything, leaving me an orphan clinging to wreckage. Then, with kind hands, Ethan Harrison pulled me from the churning water, and his family became my beacon, my home. For four years, they rebuilt my world, filling it with a love I hadn’t known since my own mother died, a future with Ethan by my side. He gave me a compass necklace, promising, “So you always find your way. Our way.” But that same night, our future shattered. The Harrison house, once filled with light, became a tomb for thirteen souls, brutally murdered. And they said Sarah Miller did it. Me. The girl they saved, the daughter they adopted. The accusation was a physical blow, stealing my breath, my voice, my hope. The town that had embraced me now bayed for my blood, branding me a monster. Trapped in a cold cell, I endured a year of relentless interrogations and public scorn, my silence misinterpreted as guilt. How could the man I loved, the one who saved me, believe I could commit such an atrocity? How could they all be so wrong, so blind to the truth of what I sacrificed? What was there to say, when the world had already decided my fate? Now, strapped to a cold chair, electrodes tracing my thoughts, they’re forcing me into a dangerous experiment: "Traumatic Memory Unveiling." They want answers. But the truth hidden within my shattered memories is far more terrifying, a story of loyalty, betrayal, and a sinister conspiracy I kept silent to protect them—a silence that might just kill me.
