Olivia Clark, the silent architect of Synapse Tech, always preferred the shadows, content to see her foster brother, Ethan, shine. Tonight was his engagement party-a celebration she helped orchestrate, observing from the periphery in her simple gray dress. But the night took a violent turn when Brittany Hayes, Ethan's fiancée, cornered Olivia, accusing her of trying to upstage the bride-to-be. Brittany' s words, sharp and demeaning, escalated to physical assault, tearing Olivia' s dress and pouring red wine onto her bleeding knee, all while a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle. Even Mark Renshaw, a senior VP who knew Olivia' s true value, disavowed her to curry favor with Brittany, leaving Olivia utterly alone and broken. But when Brittany maliciously destroyed Olivia' s last tangible link to her deceased parents-a unique smart device containing all her confidential AI research-something snapped. "My name is Olivia Clark," she declared, her voice shaking with rage. "And when Ethan finds out what you've done, you and your friends will have nothing left." Just as Brittany prepared to inflict a permanent scar, Ethan walked in, only to find the mangled device at his feet. His shock quickly turned to icy fury as he uncovered the truth, canceling his engagement on the spot and carrying Olivia away. But the ordeal wasn't over. Brittany weaponized the media, painting Olivia as a villain and herself as a victim, pushing Olivia to the brink. "She thinks she's the only one who can play this game," Olivia thought, a chilling resolve forming. "She has no idea what I'm about to do."

Introduction

Olivia Clark, the silent architect of Synapse Tech, always preferred the shadows, content to see her foster brother, Ethan, shine. Tonight was his engagement party-a celebration she helped orchestrate, observing from the periphery in her simple gray dress.

But the night took a violent turn when Brittany Hayes, Ethan's fiancée, cornered Olivia, accusing her of trying to upstage the bride-to-be.

Brittany' s words, sharp and demeaning, escalated to physical assault, tearing Olivia' s dress and pouring red wine onto her bleeding knee, all while a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle.

Even Mark Renshaw, a senior VP who knew Olivia' s true value, disavowed her to curry favor with Brittany, leaving Olivia utterly alone and broken.

But when Brittany maliciously destroyed Olivia' s last tangible link to her deceased parents-a unique smart device containing all her confidential AI research-something snapped.

"My name is Olivia Clark," she declared, her voice shaking with rage. "And when Ethan finds out what you've done, you and your friends will have nothing left."

Just as Brittany prepared to inflict a permanent scar, Ethan walked in, only to find the mangled device at his feet.

His shock quickly turned to icy fury as he uncovered the truth, canceling his engagement on the spot and carrying Olivia away.

But the ordeal wasn't over. Brittany weaponized the media, painting Olivia as a villain and herself as a victim, pushing Olivia to the brink.

"She thinks she's the only one who can play this game," Olivia thought, a chilling resolve forming. "She has no idea what I'm about to do."

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.
