My life was a meticulously crafted blueprint, or so I thought. A successful architect, adored by my community, with a childhood sweetheart, Liam Hayes, by my side. Our marriage was the fairy tale I' d dreamt of, until it shattered with the news of his death. Ten years later, I found him alive, living a picturesque life with my best friend, Sophia Chen. His "death" was a lie, a calculated escape from a life, and a wife, he didn' t want. The final twist? He died saving me in a real car crash, his last words confessing his enduring love for Sophia, not me. I woke up, gasping, the scent of birthday cake and lilies filling the air. I was twenty-two again, on the day I first chose Liam. But not this time. Liam' s betrayal carved a raw wound, his dying words now a command ringing in my ears. This time, I wouldn' t make the same mistake. I chose Ethan Stone, my former rival, a man who consistently challenged me, whose aloofness I\'d once mistaken for disdain. My grandfather looked at me, bewildered, as I rejected the expected. Then, at my birthday party, the public humiliation began. Liam, ever the schemer, beat me to the punch, announcing his love for Sophia first, making it seem like he had rejected me. Sophia, a flawless actress, played the role of the innocent, heartbroken friend. As I stepped forward, the black box in my hand, declaring my choice of Ethan, Sophia lunged at me. Liam, defending her, shoved me. My head hit the marble floor, and the world went dark. But not before I saw a flash of black leather, a furious green gaze, and Ethan running towards me.

Introduction

My life was a meticulously crafted blueprint, or so I thought.

A successful architect, adored by my community, with a childhood sweetheart, Liam Hayes, by my side.

Our marriage was the fairy tale I' d dreamt of, until it shattered with the news of his death.

Ten years later, I found him alive, living a picturesque life with my best friend, Sophia Chen.

His "death" was a lie, a calculated escape from a life, and a wife, he didn' t want.

The final twist? He died saving me in a real car crash, his last words confessing his enduring love for Sophia, not me.

I woke up, gasping, the scent of birthday cake and lilies filling the air.

I was twenty-two again, on the day I first chose Liam.

But not this time. Liam' s betrayal carved a raw wound, his dying words now a command ringing in my ears.

This time, I wouldn' t make the same mistake.

I chose Ethan Stone, my former rival, a man who consistently challenged me, whose aloofness I\'d once mistaken for disdain.

My grandfather looked at me, bewildered, as I rejected the expected.

Then, at my birthday party, the public humiliation began.

Liam, ever the schemer, beat me to the punch, announcing his love for Sophia first, making it seem like he had rejected me.

Sophia, a flawless actress, played the role of the innocent, heartbroken friend.

As I stepped forward, the black box in my hand, declaring my choice of Ethan, Sophia lunged at me.

Liam, defending her, shoved me.

My head hit the marble floor, and the world went dark.

But not before I saw a flash of black leather, a furious green gaze, and Ethan running towards me.

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.
