Jake, my boyfriend, became infatuated with Elsie, the girl he sponsored. In the end, the period where relationships often face challenges after several years caught up with us; we weren't spared. On the day everything was laid out, I remained unusually calm. After a stalemate, Jake chose me and sent Elsie away. On the day of our engagement party, rumors spread quickly throughout the community that Elsie fell into the water at the lake. With eyes red from tears, I held onto Jake as he panicked, "Jake, once you go for her, there's no future for us." In Jake's eyes, there was unmistakable disgust and blame. "Losing Elsie is like losing my future. Isabel, don't make me hate you." I froze for a moment as he broke free from my grasp and ran out without looking back. Gazing at my wedding dress, I chuckled to myself. Since Jake refused to change his mind, why should I linger in the same place any longer?

Chapter 1

Jake Shaw became infatuated with the impoverished female college student he had sponsored. Her name was Elsie Davies.

The relationship between him and me seemed to be ruined after several years.

On the day when I asked Jake to make the final decision between me and Elsie, I was uncharacteristically calm. After a tense standoff, Jake chose me and promised to send Elsie away.

On the day we got engaged, many people spread some news that Elsie had fallen into the lake.

With tears in my eyes, I stopped Jake's arm. He was in a panic at that moment. I said, "Jake, as soon as you walk out of the door, there's no turning back for us."

Jake's eyes betrayed an undeniable disgust and reproach. "If I lose Elsie, it is like killing me. Isabel, I will hate you forever if you stop me from saving her."

I froze, and Jake broke free from my grip. He ran out without looking back.

I glanced at the wedding dress I was wearing and chuckled.

Jake refused to get back together with me. Why didn't I move on?

...

The door slammed shut in front of me, and I couldn't hold back the tears that streamed down my face.

I had known Jake had supported Elsie for quite some time.

He had won a charity project. To enhance the company's image, he encouraged all the company executives to sponsor at least one underprivileged student for social outreach initiatives.

It was realistic in the workplace. Everyone just donated some money, and that was all. And I did the same thing.

But Jake was different. He fell for the young woman, who looked innocent.

The company's employees had at least a prestigious bachelor's degree, but Jake defied all opposition and directly gave Elsie a position in the secretarial department, although she graduated from a mediocre college.

Gossip had reached my ears, but I trusted Jake and our seven-year relationship.

Yet things didn't go as I had hoped.

I didn't know when it started, but Jake changed his phone's wallpaper and password. He set his social media to show posts from only the past three days. Jake hadn't talked to me in the shortest sentences, but he actually saved dozens of GIFs of cute facial expressions on his phone.

Every detail drove me crazy.

So I began to observe Jake's unusual behavior.

On the evening of our anniversary, his phone buzzed incessantly on the nightstand. He perfunctorily completed our intimate moments, put on his shirt, and stormed off to the bathroom without a backward glance.

I didn't hear the sound of running water. Instead, Jake's low laughter was heard through the frosted glass.

On an impulse, I picked up Jake's iPad, which he used for work, from the table.

Even though Jake was cautious, he would make mistakes. I had no idea whether he was clouded by another woman or perhaps convinced by my love, which made him fearless.

The real-time synced chat records left me dazed. The woman nicknamed "Miss Bunny" sent voice messages that were sweet to the core.

She coquettishly asked Jake why he didn't reply to her right away, and Jake sent an emoji to apologize and explained to her that he had been busy with his work.

I scrolled up and found that they had chatted about many things.

For instance, they talked about which bakery had delicious cakes, the latest popular movie, and whether almond-shaped or teardrop-shaped nails suited Elsie's slender fingers better.

Jake responded to every message from her. His tenderness almost shattered my last defense.

Jake and I had dated for seven years, but I never knew Jake could be so gentle.

At the end of the chat, Jake said, "Your period is coming soon. Don't have cold drinks since tomorrow."

Elsie laughed and softly asked Jake to give her a voice kiss before she stopped their chatting.

A few seconds later, a two-second voice message popped up.

Jake's kiss was gentle. I could sense that he was cherishing a treasure through the screen.

Just a moment before he walked out of the bathroom, I cleared the iPad screen and placed it back on the table.

I wept all night, but Jake slept soundly.

In the morning, he didn't notice my swollen eyes. He just frowned while rummaging through the living room.

I didn't miss the moment he put some medication for women's periods into his suit pocket. I looked at him as if I hadn't known him.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

I consoled myself that even if he confessed he was taking it to Elsie...

But Jake was stunned for a short moment and said while lowering his gaze. "Nothing. I was just looking for something."

His answer was bound to let me down, and only I continued to deceive myself.

It was common for the guy to have an affair in our circle. I had even gotten used to it.

But Jake and I started our business together from nothing, so I always believed that Jake wouldn't cheat on me.

We had seven years of love. The vast Shaw Corporation was the outcome of my countless efforts. I simply couldn't let go so easily.

So I asked Jake to choose between me and Elsie that evening. "Between me and Elsie, who do you choose?"

I didn't know what expression I wore when I said those words. I only remembered that the sky outside the window was dark and that my throat was tight. I was almost choking.

Jake didn't answer. He smoked a whole pack of cigarettes on the balcony and left a mess of ash behind as he walked away.

Three days later, he came back with red marks on his neck.

His voice was hoarse as he said, "I've made things clear with her. She won't be in our lives anymore."

I chuckled lightly. "Where is she?"

Jake raised his head abruptly, and he looked furious. "Do you really want to drive her to death before you are satisfied? She is an orphan. She has no family."

Jake looked at me like an enemy. I saw him like that and held back my words. I didn't even have the strength to argue with him.

He seemed to realize his overreaction and said, "Isabel, what I did was wrong before. I swear it won't happen again. So please don't make things difficult for Elsie, okay? She knows nothing. She is too innocent."

At that moment, I was heartbroken.

I had loved Jake for seven years, but he pleaded with me not to harm his beloved woman for the first time as his eyes were red.

Jake proposed to me that evening, and I accepted.

But we both knew that things between us would never be the same as before.

Jake didn't deceive me. From then on, I never saw Elsie again. She seemed to vanish from my world completely.

But at our engagement party, Jake saw a fleeting image on a guest's phone that resembled Elsie. He ruthlessly left me behind in front of countless guests and the media.

I stood in the middle of the gala I had spent months curating, waiting for the perfect moment to tell my husband, Gabe, that he was going to be a father. Instead, I watched him place a possessive hand on the stomach of my best friend, Harper. A reporter nearby whispered the truth that stopped my heart: Harper was pregnant with Gabe’s child, and they were announcing it after the IPO. When I confronted him, Gabe didn't apologize. He looked at me with cold calculation and told me a scandal would ruin the company. Then came the ultimatum that shattered my soul. He wanted me to hide in the countryside, give birth in secret, and hand my baby over to his mistress to raise. "Don't be selfish," he said. "She needs this baby more than you do." When I refused, his mother had me dragged away and locked in my bedroom. My windows were sealed, and my own parents sold me out, releasing a statement that I had suffered a mental breakdown. I was trapped, starving, and waiting for them to induce labor so they could steal my child. But they made one fatal mistake. To keep me "calm," Gabe handed me my phone for five minutes. I didn't call the police; the Sullivans owned them. I dialed a number I had found in my adoption papers years ago. A number belonging to Anthony Dean, the most dangerous man on the East Coast. "They are going to kill my baby," I whispered into the receiver. The voice on the other end was low, terrifying, and promised absolute violence. "I'm coming."

The pain shot up from my tailbone. I lay at the bottom of the grand staircase, a warm, sticky wetness spreading beneath me. My baby. My unborn child. Footsteps thundered down the stairs. Jake, my husband, rushed past me without a glance. He went straight to my stepsister, Brooke, who was slumped against the wall, her face a mask of fake terror. "Brooke! Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" he asked, his voice filled with panic. He cradled her in his arms, then turned to me, his eyes cold and full of hate. "Ava Riley," he spat, "If I hadn' t lost my memory, there' s no way I would have ever married you." The words hit me harder than the fall. Brooke, nestled in his arms, looked at me with a triumphant smirk. She whispered to Jake about finding property for an art gallery to "heal." He immediately pulled out his phone, without even looking at me, lying in a pool of my own blood. The next day, Jake used his immense power to condemn my family' s historic art studio. My loving parents, trying to stop the demolition, were crushed and killed by falling debris. The news came to me in the sterile white of a hospital room, after I had already lost my child. It was all gone. Replaced by a cold, hollow emptiness. When I finally left the Miller mansion, carrying my parents' ashes, Jake' s friends snickered, thinking I' d crawl back. Jake sneered, "It' s just a pity play. She schemed her way into wealth. She' d never leave." They didn't see the black car waiting for me. They also didn't know my private jet was ready on the skyscraper rooftop. They thought I was a broken, penniless artist. They had no idea who I really was. And they had no idea what I was about to do.

My world shattered on a Tuesday afternoon while I was scrolling through a local city forum. An anonymous post popped up, short and alarming. "Warning to anyone dating a guy who hangs out at the 'Gilded Bean' café downtown. Overheard a man and a woman, 'Liam' and 'Chloe' , plotting something vile. They were talking about drugging his rich girlfriend, staging an 'accident' , and getting her money. He mentioned she' s a tech exec." Liam. My Liam. My breath caught. We went to the Gilded Bean all the time. The post described him: "He was wearing a very distinctive watch, a silver one with a dark blue face. Looked expensive." I bought him that watch for our one-year anniversary. A limited edition Zenith Chronomaster. There wasn' t another one like it in the city. Then the name Chloe sealed it. Chloe Davies. A girl from his past he always claimed to dislike, someone he called "trashy" and "desperate." My phone slipped from my numb fingers, clattering onto the hardwood floor of the apartment Liam and I shared. The shock was a physical blow. It couldn' t be real. Not Liam. Every sweet word, every tender touch, the way he looked at me with what I thought was love – it was all a lie. A carefully crafted performance. He wasn' t just planning to steal from me; he was planning to kill me. The thought of him using my trust to isolate me, making me feel secure while he sharpened the knife, made me sick. The man I loved didn' t exist. He was a monster, and I had invited him into every corner of my life. I wouldn' t be his victim. Liam Parker thought he was hunting a sheep; he was about to find out he had targeted a lioness. He wasn' t getting away with this. None of them were.

For eight years, I clung to Liam' s drunken promise, a joke he' d made at 14 that felt like a sacred vow. I transformed myself, chasing perfection for him, believing our 22nd birthday was finally our moment. But then, I overheard him plotting: our "promise" was a cruel lie, a scheme to get rid of me.

At my farewell party, he shoved me into a lake, leaving me to drown, just to protect Sienna. He chose her. Over his best friend. Over my life. My brother, Mark, came to my rescue, raging at Liam, but it was clear Liam felt no remorse. He claimed I was "unstable" and "obsessed," twisting every truth to fit his narrative. I left for New York, cutting all ties, determined to erase him from my life forever. Years later, Liam, broken and ruined by Sienna and her lover, Julian, desperately sought me out. He found me, happy and successful, with Alex-a man who truly valued me. I finally had the strength to tell him his apology meant nothing, that he was no longer my problem. The man who once dominated my every thought was now a pathetic stranger, utterly unimportant. I threw away his final, belated confession, a paper airplane of wasted love, into the New York sky. My journey from a broken girl to a celebrated architect, from chasing a false star to finding my own wings, was complete. I was finally free, soaring into a future he could never touch.

The delivery room was cold, the sterile white walls closing in on me as my newborn son, Leo, fought for every breath down the hall. Then my husband, Liam, called, his voice a panicked whisper: "Ava, I'm in big trouble. I owe six point sixty-six million dollars to 'The Gambler.' If I don't pay, he'll kill me." I emptied our savings, sold my father's cherished comic collection, maxed out high-interest loans, and worked myself to the bone for four agonizing years while Leo battled his own health issues. I even sold my blood, twice a week, because Liam said it was the only thing keeping him alive, that we shared a rare blood type. Finally, I had the money. But when I delivered the duffel bag of cash, "The Gambler's" henchman told me the price had gone up to sixteen point sixty-six million, showing me video proof of Liam being tortured, screaming in agony. Then I walked into a lavish VIP room, ready to beg for his life, only to find Liam, unbruised and in an expensive suit, draped around a stunning woman who looked eerily like me. He wasn't tortured. He was The Gambler. "The blood wasn't for him, darling," his mistress, Scarlett, purred, "It was for me. I needed a little 'top-up.' You were a walking blood bank." My sacrifices, my love, my life-all a lie. He looked at me, a hollowed-out wreck, and called me a failed "evaluation." Then, he threw a pittance of my own money on the floor: "Now get out. You're not welcome here anymore." My world shattered. My son was sick, fighting for his life, and my husband didn't just not care, he was the monster who had profited from our agony. But when he demanded I continue to be his mistress's blood bank, even as Leo lay dying in the hospital, something inside me snapped. "The blood bank is closed. Permanently," I told him, hanging up the phone. He sent his thugs to the hospital to take Leo. My son, my dying son, was just another resource to him. "Mommy?" Leo's tiny voice echoed over the walkie-talkie, Liam's phone still connected to the thugs. "Is... is Daddy there?" That pure, innocent question, crashing through Liam's carefully constructed lie, was all the opening I needed. My son was gone, taken by the man who was supposed to protect him. Now, I would watch Liam's world burn.
