Introduction

The poison in my veins had two years left, just like me.

Two years I' d spent trapped in a gilded cage by Ethan Lester, the man I once loved.

He believed I betrayed him, orchestrated his family' s slaughter, a lie I carried to protect him from a truth that would have led him to self-destruction.

I endured his hatred, the scars, the daily degradations, all while my life slowly ebbed away.

Then came the night Sabrina, his new woman, a viper wearing a sweetheart's smile, orchestrated the unspeakable.

She lured my little brother, Andrew, the only innocent left in my world, to the compound.

She planned to drain his blood for a twisted art project.

I found him, strapped down, and I screamed for her to take me instead.

But Ethan, blind with rage and manipulated by Sabrina' s lies, saw my reaction as defiance.

He threatened Andrew, trying to extract a "confession" from me.

My truth would kill him; my silence guaranteed my brother's fate.

He offered me everything I' d ever wanted – a future, marriage – if I just confessed.

I couldn't.

Sabrina, with a subtle push, guided his hand, and the blade sliced across Andrew' s throat right before my eyes.

My world shattered as I watched him die, Ethan' s hand, bloodied, still on the knife.

As I lay dying beside my brother's cooling body, my last words shattered Ethan' s delusions, revealing the true traitors.

Now that it' s all over, all I want to know is: Can a man who destroyed everything he claimed to love ever atone for the irreparable damage he caused?

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.
