It was my daughter Stella' s baptism, a perfect Silicon Valley affair at our grand family estate; all the right people, polite whispers, and clinking champagne glasses. Then she walked in: Debra, the postpartum doula we' d fired, marched straight for the head table, plonking herself down as if she owned the place. Before I could even process it, she declared she was my husband Ethan' s real mother, accusing me of being a gold-digger and claiming our baby Stella was a swapped infant. The immediate chaos was horrifying: she flung hot coffee at me, tried to drug my innocent child, and even more shockingly, my husband' s own grandmother, Eleanor, sided with this deranged woman, trying to force me to kneel and threatening me with a riding crop. My husband stepped in front of me, taking the blow, all while the woman' s so-called "son" stood by, a greedy smirk plastered on his face. How could anyone believe such an insane story? Why would Eleanor betray her family like this, threatening her own great-granddaughter? This wasn't just bizarre; it was a sinister plot, threatening everything I held dear. Just as the madness reached its peak, a cool, commanding voice cut through the chaos, bringing a sliver of hope that the real truth was about to finally emerge.

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.
