I used to believe in a different kind of love, the kind that didn' t need rings or licenses, just unwavering trust. Mark, the charismatic tech mogul, promised me that. So I, a painter, poured my soul into building a home for him and our son, Leo, setting my own dreams aside. Then, at Leo' s christening, a woman appeared, dressed in black, her eyes locked on Mark with an unsettling intensity. She dropped a silver ring, identical to the "family heirloom" Mark wore every day. And inside, the engraving shattered my world: "M+S, Forever." My own parents, fearing a broken home, pressured me to return to him, twisting the knife of humiliation with their forced forgiveness. Mark, the master manipulator, even staged a public "break-up" with Sarah, his mistress, claiming she was a fragile friend he had to ditch for me. But within minutes, an urgent call from her sent him running back to her side, leaving me and Leo abandoned once more. How could I have been so blind, so naive? Was I just a convenient placeholder, an incubator for the heir he truly wanted? The betrayal was soul-deep, a raw, burning wound-but it was also a spark. As I packed to leave him for good, a wave of nausea hit me. Two pink lines. I was pregnant again, shackled to him more tightly than ever, but this time, the crushing pain fueled an ice-cold resolve.

Introduction

I used to believe in a different kind of love, the kind that didn' t need rings or licenses, just unwavering trust.

Mark, the charismatic tech mogul, promised me that.

So I, a painter, poured my soul into building a home for him and our son, Leo, setting my own dreams aside.

Then, at Leo' s christening, a woman appeared, dressed in black, her eyes locked on Mark with an unsettling intensity.

She dropped a silver ring, identical to the "family heirloom" Mark wore every day.

And inside, the engraving shattered my world: "M+S, Forever."

My own parents, fearing a broken home, pressured me to return to him, twisting the knife of humiliation with their forced forgiveness.

Mark, the master manipulator, even staged a public "break-up" with Sarah, his mistress, claiming she was a fragile friend he had to ditch for me.

But within minutes, an urgent call from her sent him running back to her side, leaving me and Leo abandoned once more.

How could I have been so blind, so naive?

Was I just a convenient placeholder, an incubator for the heir he truly wanted?

The betrayal was soul-deep, a raw, burning wound-but it was also a spark.

As I packed to leave him for good, a wave of nausea hit me.

Two pink lines.

I was pregnant again, shackled to him more tightly than ever, but this time, the crushing pain fueled an ice-cold resolve.

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.
