I was part of a famous duo with Brayden Reynolds in the industry. He once shielded me from a stalker's acid attack and chose to go public with our relationship at the height of his fame, giving me a sense of security. Everyone believed our story would end like the songs I wrote for him. A perfect finale with the couple walking hand in hand toward happiness. But then that girl sang our love song in a live stream, duetting sweetly with Brayden. She even sent me the recording. "Thanks for the hit song, Eve," she said. "And thanks for shaping Brayden into such a great man. From now on, he's all mine." At the end of the video, Brayden stood half-naked, his back revealing a jagged, ugly scar. I made a phone call, cranking the speaker to max, savoring the woman's fading screams through the receiver. "Eve Walton!" Brayden's fiery rage burned in his eyes. But I just smiled and slapped the divorce papers and settlement agreement in front of him.

Echoes of a Silent Song Chapter 1

I was part of a famous duo with Brayden Reynolds in the industry.

He once shielded me from a stalker's acid attack and chose to go public with our relationship at the height of his fame, giving me a sense of security.

Everyone believed our story would end like the songs I wrote for him.

A perfect finale with the couple walking hand in hand toward happiness.

But then that girl sang our love song in a live stream, duetting sweetly with Brayden.

She even sent me the recording.

"Thanks for the hit song, Eve," she said. "And thanks for shaping Brayden into such a great man. From now on, he's all mine."

At the end of the video, Brayden stood half-naked, his back revealing a jagged, ugly scar.

I made a phone call, cranking the speaker to max, savoring the woman's fading screams through the receiver.

"Eve Walton!" Brayden's fiery rage burned in his eyes, but I just smiled and slapped the divorce papers and settlement agreement in front of him.

...

The living room was packed.

I counted twenty-eight people Brayden brought to confront me, two more than the witnesses at his proposal.

"What exactly do you want?" His temples throbbed with anger.

"You publicly sang our love song with her, and she had the nerve to taunt me, the real deal, to my face. And you have the gall to ask me that?" With a loud smack, I slammed my phone on the table.

Brayden's gaze flicked to the scar, his face tightening. "It was just a young girl's prank."

He lowered his voice, his tone ambiguous. "As colleagues in the same company, is it wrong to help her gain some attention? As for taking off my shirt, it was just a spilled drink. A coincidence."

"Listen to the nonsense you're spouting!" I grabbed a coaster from the table and hurled it at him. "Brayden, did you get kicked in the head? Don't you know how the media will spin this? After eight years together, we've finally made it this far, and you want to..."

"Enough!" Brayden slammed the table.

His resolve reminded me of the day he fought the company to sign me alongside him.

But today, I sat on the opposite side.

"You wrote plenty of hit songs for me, but I've also brought you fame and fortune. Eve Walton, we don't owe each other anything!"

His words were all about profit, not a whisper of love.

The only other time he used my full name was during his proposal two years ago.

Pain tore through my chest, but I was no longer the young girl he once protected.

I dug my nails into my palm, using the sting to force myself to stay calm.

"Joyce is still lying in the hospital! The doctors say she might never sing again!" Brayden clenched his jaw, his glare vicious enough to devour me. "You did this, and you don't even feel a shred of guilt?"

"And what if I don't?" I smiled, tucking my hands into my sleeves to discreetly wipe the blood from my palm. "Are you going to call the cops on me or ruin the hands that wrote your songs?"

The engagement ring on my finger gleamed mockingly.

"If you don't mind us both going down in flames, I'm happy to play along." After all, he swore during the proposal to stand by me through life and death.

But Brayden only curled his lips into a cruel smirk.

As he stepped toward me, his assistant instinctively moved to block him.

To outsiders, we must have looked like sworn enemies.

Before I could react, a white porcelain urn shattered at my feet.

Ruby, the golden retriever Brayden and I raised for six years, would never have imagined her beloved dad scattering her ashes after her death.

"If you don't offer a settlement we can both agree on, I don't mind playing dirtier." His gaze landed on my six-month-old kitten.

His sinister smile bore no trace of the tender boy from my memories.

"Don't you dare!" With a thud, I drove a letter opener into his shoulder.

I gave him a bloody smile. "Touch her, and I'll fight you to the death. Brayden, you know what I'm capable of. Divorce is fine, but harming my family is not!"

Even after Brayden left, my hand trembled around the blade.

The evening breeze lifted his sweat-soaked shirt.

The acid scar on his lower back faded more each day.

Just like our love, destined to vanish.

"What's your plan, Eve?" My assistant Kade stared at my bloodied palm, stunned. "Are you really going to divorce Brayden? Or grovel to Joyce?"

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I spent three years playing the role of a submissive, small-town wife for Evertt Baker, trading my true identity for a quiet life in a Manhattan penthouse. I thought my devotion would be enough to build a real home, but I was just a placeholder in his grand design. The illusion shattered at 2 AM when Evertt walked in smelling of Chanel No. 5—the signature scent of his mistress, Adda. Without a word of apology, he dropped divorce papers on the table, demanding I sign them immediately so he could finally be with the woman he truly loved. He looked at me with pure disgust, flicking a five-million-dollar check toward me as if he were paying off an incompetent employee. He told me it was more money than anyone from my "trailer park" background would ever see and ordered me to hurry because Adda was waiting in the car downstairs. He didn't care that I had spent years nursing him through illness and tolerating his family’s insults; he only cared about his own convenience. The sheer arrogance of his payout and the blatant disrespect of bringing his mistress to our home was the final blow. I realized that the man I loved never actually saw me, only the submissive shadow I had forced myself to become. I signed the papers with a fluid scrawl he didn't bother to check, then I fed his millions into the office shredder. I pulled a hidden, encrypted device from a kitchen drawer and dialed a number I hadn't called in three years. "Brother," I said, my voice finally steady. "Come get me. The game is over." Evertt thought he was discarding a penniless nobody, but he was about to find out that he had just declared war on the Stafford empire.
