Introduction

I saved him.

Captain Alex Miller, a war hero, bleeding out in the streets during a riot-I, Sarah, an animal behaviorist, pulled him to safety.

He proposed two months later, a fairytale wedding for the tabloids.

Our life in his penthouse was breathtaking, until the mysterious illness began, turning me into a weak, dying shadow of myself.

Alex, the devoted husband, vowed to save me, even with experimental, "forbidden" procedures involving animal grafts.

I woke up after the first surgery, my lungs replaced, my back a lumpy horror, but I was alive and grateful for his sacrifice.

Then, I overheard his chilling conversation, his voice cold and clinical, about the "side effects" being the "entire point," and Olivia.

He gloated about making me sick, about orchestrating my family' s "unfortunate accident."

The man I loved, my savior, was a monster, meticulously destroying me.

Now, with a shriveled monkey' s paw stitched to my arm, I lie in a cage, a public spectacle for the mob he summoned.

He feasts before me, explaining starvation is "treatment," while his lover, the blind Olivia, declares I deserve to burn.

His sword thrust deep into my side, leaving me bleeding and abandoned as flames engulf the room.

But I will not die.

My family, alive, thanks to old David and his animal instincts.

And now, a choice: a drug that heals, but promises a swift, painful death.

I' ll take it.

My monstrous limbs recede, my human form returns, a temporary ghost burning with an inferno of revenge.

Alex, the hero who became my tormentor, will look into my eyes one last time.

He will pay for every single moment of agony, for every lie, for every cherished life he extinguished.

This isn' t about apologies; it' s about retribution.

When Love Turns to Ash

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.
