My mother married Mr. Hayes when I was seven, thrusting me into a glittering mansion that quickly became a gilded cage. From day one, Alex, Mr. Hayes's son, started a campaign of torment, seemingly blaming me for his mother' s death. Then, my world shattered. My mother, caught having an affair, was brutally disfigured and cast out, forcing me, a child, to become her sole caretaker in squalid poverty. Alex' s revenge escalated from mind games to direct attacks, turning school into a hell of bullying and rumors, pushing me to the brink of collapse. Just as I clung to a scholarship as my only escape, Alex' s cousin, Tiffany, appeared on campus, her face a scarred mirror of my mother' s fate, spreading malicious lies that threatened to destroy my future before it began. Alex, now a man of terrifying power, loomed over me, making it clear there was no escape from his reach. Desperate, I stepped into his world, trading my dignity for a chance at freedom. The ultimate betrayal came when I discovered his meticulously orchestrated torment was intricately linked to his mother' s tragic death, and that he had ensnared me in a twisted recreation of her fate. The revelation was horrifying, a culmination of years of calculated cruelty designed to break me entirely. Yet, a shocking truth emerged: my mother' s final, desperate act of love, selling herself to human traffickers to provide for me, cracked open a window to Alex' s own traumatic past. Finally understanding the deep, shared wounds that bound us, I resolved to sever all ties, choosing freedom over eternal hatred.

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.
