My life with Ethan Thorne, a rising tech mogul, was a perfect painting-until the charity auction. What started as a glamorous night celebrating my husband' s success turned into a public nightmare when deeply private journals and relics from my archaeologist parents were put up for bid, transforming their life' s work into a humiliating spectacle. My pleas for him to stop were met with a chilling confession: "I arranged it." He needed something from me-the Obsidian Heart, our most treasured family heirloom, for a young designer named Chloe Davis. His threat? More embarrassing personal items of my parents would be revealed if I refused. But this was only the beginning. The "donation agreement" I was forced to sign wasn't for an artifact; it was for my kidney. He needed a matching donor for Chloe, and he had orchestrated everything, transforming the man I loved into a stranger. Worse, this scheme indirectly led to my parents' tragic deaths. In my grief-stricken and vulnerable state, I stumbled into an unbearable reality: Ethan, once my loving husband, now remembered nothing of our shared dreams or promises. He looked at me with cold indifference, his heart and devotion solely for Chloe. I vowed to escape, to reclaim myself from the wreckage of his betrayal.
