The pregnancy test showed two pink lines, and pure joy surged through me. I, Ethan Miller, was finally going to be a father. But then my wife, Sophia, dropped a bomb that shattered everything. "The child isn't yours, Ethan. It's Liam's." The world tilted. My perfect life, a fragile lie built on Sophia' s deceit, crumbled. Tragedy compounded days later: Sophia was in a car accident, a miscarriage. Liam, her lover, was behind the wheel. Then, at a company gala, Sophia, radiant and cruel, seized a microphone. Her eyes, cold and furious, locked onto mine. "My husband, Ethan Miller," she announced, her voice dripping with venom, "is a monster." She publicly accused me of sabotaging her, of causing her miscarriage out of jealousy. The accusation was so monstrous, so far from the truth, I could only stand paralyzed. Her final blow: "I'm making him get a vasectomy. He will pay for what he did to my baby." They forced me into it, stripping me of my rights, my future, my very manhood. I returned home, a ghost in my own house, only to find Liam brazenly occupying my study. He flaunted his victory, mocking my pain, even using my Pritzker Prize as a coaster. Then, he shattered my most prized possession: my mother' s music box. "Oh, that old thing," Sophia said, unconcerned. "It was gathering dust. I gave it to Liam." Something inside me broke. My hand bleeding, heart shattered, I watched Sophia fuss over a supposedly ill Liam. She shrieked, "What did you do to him? What did you put in his drink? You want to take everything from me!" The doctor' s diagnosis: Liam just had a bad hangover. My pain was real, her accusation a baseless lie. Sophia offered a fleeting, empty apology, but the chasm between us was too deep. I decided then: no more. I had to fight back for my sanity, for my future, for myself.

Introduction

The pregnancy test showed two pink lines, and pure joy surged through me.

I, Ethan Miller, was finally going to be a father.

But then my wife, Sophia, dropped a bomb that shattered everything.

"The child isn't yours, Ethan. It's Liam's."

The world tilted.

My perfect life, a fragile lie built on Sophia' s deceit, crumbled.

Tragedy compounded days later: Sophia was in a car accident, a miscarriage.

Liam, her lover, was behind the wheel.

Then, at a company gala, Sophia, radiant and cruel, seized a microphone.

Her eyes, cold and furious, locked onto mine.

"My husband, Ethan Miller," she announced, her voice dripping with venom, "is a monster."

She publicly accused me of sabotaging her, of causing her miscarriage out of jealousy.

The accusation was so monstrous, so far from the truth, I could only stand paralyzed.

Her final blow: "I'm making him get a vasectomy. He will pay for what he did to my baby."

They forced me into it, stripping me of my rights, my future, my very manhood.

I returned home, a ghost in my own house, only to find Liam brazenly occupying my study.

He flaunted his victory, mocking my pain, even using my Pritzker Prize as a coaster.

Then, he shattered my most prized possession: my mother' s music box.

"Oh, that old thing," Sophia said, unconcerned. "It was gathering dust. I gave it to Liam."

Something inside me broke.

My hand bleeding, heart shattered, I watched Sophia fuss over a supposedly ill Liam.

She shrieked, "What did you do to him? What did you put in his drink? You want to take everything from me!"

The doctor' s diagnosis: Liam just had a bad hangover.

My pain was real, her accusation a baseless lie.

Sophia offered a fleeting, empty apology, but the chasm between us was too deep.

I decided then: no more.

I had to fight back for my sanity, for my future, for myself.

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.
