What happened to Emily that day at the lake was an accident, a tragedy.

But to David and my adoptive mother, Olivia, it was my fault, a debt I had to pay every single day.

My punishment?

The hard, cold floor of a barren guest room was my bed.

His cruel words, "A murderer doesn't deserve comfort. This is where you belong," echoed in my ears every night.

Every month, I would present him with divorce papers, a desperate plea for freedom.

And every month, he would tear them, burn them, a grim ritual reminding me there was no escape.

Why did they hate me so much?

What had I truly done to deserve this unending torment, this life lived as a ghost in a gilded cage?

But the constant humiliation, the silent contempt, the pain-it all fueled a secret fire within 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.
