I woke up to the smell of expensive cologne and the familiar weight of a man's arm, smiling. For a second, I thought it was my Ethan, the passionate law student I loved. But the man beside me was a stranger-harder, older, and radiating a cold fury. "What now, Stella?" he spat, his eyes sharp and unforgiving. "What kind of game are you playing today?" He called me thirty, not twenty, a number that hit me like a physical blow. My reflection confirmed his cruel words: a pale, exhausted woman stared back, devoid of the vibrant spark I knew. Then, a small boy with Ethan' s eyes walked in, calling him "Dad." My stepsister, Jennifer, served them breakfast, acting like she owned the place. "Mom," the boy said, his voice flat with disdain, pointing to the furthest chair. "Dad said you're supposed to sit at the other end of the table." Mom? This cold, distant child was my son. My world fractured. I was lost and utterly alone in a life I didn't recognize, haunted by a terrifying question: what nightmare had I woken up to, and why had everyone turned against me? I had to find my Ethan, the real Ethan, and escape this twisted reality.

Introduction

I woke up to the smell of expensive cologne and the familiar weight of a man's arm, smiling.

For a second, I thought it was my Ethan, the passionate law student I loved.

But the man beside me was a stranger-harder, older, and radiating a cold fury.

"What now, Stella?" he spat, his eyes sharp and unforgiving. "What kind of game are you playing today?"

He called me thirty, not twenty, a number that hit me like a physical blow.

My reflection confirmed his cruel words: a pale, exhausted woman stared back, devoid of the vibrant spark I knew.

Then, a small boy with Ethan' s eyes walked in, calling him "Dad."

My stepsister, Jennifer, served them breakfast, acting like she owned the place.

"Mom," the boy said, his voice flat with disdain, pointing to the furthest chair. "Dad said you're supposed to sit at the other end of the table."

Mom? This cold, distant child was my son.

My world fractured. I was lost and utterly alone in a life I didn't recognize, haunted by a terrifying question: what nightmare had I woken up to, and why had everyone turned against me?

I had to find my Ethan, the real Ethan, and escape this twisted reality.
