From His Prison To Sweet Freedom Chapter 1 Chapter

My billionaire husband fell under the spell of a New Age guru who let my mother die, calling her illness a "cosmic lesson."

His devotion to her became my personal hell. He confined me to my room, a space that became a gallery of my deepest fears. He demanded symbolic gestures of loyalty that chipped away at my soul, and finally, he erased the last, most precious memory of my past life, forcing me to watch.

The man who once swore to protect me became my tormentor.

But he made a fatal mistake.

He didn't realize our divorce had just been finalized.

So I walked out of that house, went straight to the airport, and started a livestream to burn his entire empire to the ground.

Chapter 1

Alya Cobb POV:

Everyone knew the story of how my husband, the tech billionaire Jason Rodriguez, saved my life. It was a modern fairytale, splashed across magazine covers and talk shows. Alya Cobb, the ordinary girl, and Jason Rodriguez, the brilliant CEO who pulled her from the wreckage of a car crash and swore eternal devotion. For three years, that fairytale was my reality.

Then, six months ago, everything changed.

I found out my marriage was over the same way the rest of the world did: on a news alert that flashed across my phone screen.

Jason Rodriguez, CEO of "Aether," Spotted with Mysterious Wellness Guru Genesis Caldwell. Sources Say They're "Twin Flames."

The picture attached showed Jason, my Jason, looking at a woman with an adoration I hadn't seen in his eyes for months. It was a raw, unguarded look, one he used to reserve only for me.

The woman, Genesis Caldwell, was ethereal. She wore flowing white linen, turquoise bracelets stacked up her arms, and a serene smile that looked practiced. The media called her a New Age visionary. They said she could read energy fields and communicate with the universe. She spoke in a hypnotic, gentle voice about karma, energy, and natural healing.

Jason became her most fervent disciple. He poured hundreds of millions into her "wellness sanctuary," a sprawling compound in the desert. He attended her seminars, quoted her teachings, and slowly, methodically, began to erase me from his life.

My heart felt like a block of ice in my chest as I scrolled through article after article. The pain was a physical thing, a cold weight that made it hard to breathe. I had to hear it from him. I had to look him in the eye and make him say it.

That night, I waited for him in the vast, sterile living room of our Silicon Valley mansion, the silence pressing in on me.

He walked in just after midnight, his footsteps silent on the marble floor. He didn't seem surprised to see me. There was no guilt in his eyes, only a distant, placid calm. It was the same look he had in the photos with her.

"Jason," I started, my voice trembling. "We need to talk."

He looked at me, his dark eyes unreadable. "What is there to talk about, Alya?"

I held up my phone, the picture of him and Genesis glowing in the dim light. "This. Her. What is this?"

He didn't even flinch. "That's Genesis," he said, his voice soft, almost reverent. "She's... my everything."

The words hit me like a physical blow. I stumbled back, my hand flying to my mouth. My vision blurred. "Your everything? What am I, Jason? What about us?"

"I met my twin flame, Alya. That changes things."

I stared at him, my body shaking. My face was pale, all the blood draining away. "So you're leaving me?"

"No," he said, and for a moment, a wild, stupid hope flared in my chest. "I have no intention of divorcing you. You are still Mrs. Rodriguez. But I need you to understand. Genesis is the other half of my soul. I will not give her up. You will not interfere."

The hope died as quickly as it came, replaced by a cold, searing rage. "You want me to just... accept this? To stand by while you parade this woman around as the love of your life? After everything we've been through? After you swore you would love me forever?"

My voice cracked. I felt a sob building in my throat, hot and tight.

I wanted to scream, to cry, to throw something, but my body wouldn't obey. I was frozen, trapped in a nightmare.

A part of me, a desperate, pathetic part, still clung to the man he used to be. It whispered that this was just a phase, that he would wake up and come back to me.

That pathetic hope was the beginning of my end.

Jason brought Genesis into our home. She glided through the rooms as if she owned them, her serene smile never wavering. She rearranged the furniture to "improve the energy flow." She replaced my personal photos with crystals and incense burners. Jason watched her with blind devotion, granting her every whim.

Then my mother got sick. A sudden, aggressive cancer. The doctors said her only chance was an experimental treatment, but it was astronomically expensive.

I was frantic. I went to Genesis, who Jason had put in charge of the household finances, and begged her for the money.

She listened with that same placid smile, her eyes empty of any real emotion. "I'm sorry, Alya," she said, her voice like soft chimes. "But Jason and I have discussed this. Your mother's journey is her own, a powerful lesson the universe has presented her with. To interfere would be to disrupt a sacred process."

"A process? She's dying!" I screamed, my control finally snapping. "This isn't a lesson, it's cancer! We have the money to save her!"

"The body has its own wisdom," Genesis said calmly, shaking her head. "Sometimes the greatest healing is in letting go. Her energy must be allowed to follow its natural course. I will go to the hospital and help her meditate. I will guide her transition."

"Stay away from my mother," I snarled, lunging for her.

My fingers had just brushed her linen sleeve when Jason appeared in the doorway. He saw my raised hand, he saw the tears streaming down my face. He saw Genesis stumble back, a flicker of fear in her eyes.

"Jason, thank goodness," Genesis whispered, her voice trembling as she rushed to his side. "I was just trying to explain to Alya that her mother's journey is a sacred one, but she became so... violent. Her energy is very dark right now."

Jason's face was a mask of cold fury. He didn't even look at me. "Take Alya to her room," he ordered the two bodyguards standing behind him. "She needs time to reflect. She will remain there until she learns to respect Genesis."

"Jason, no!" I cried out, reaching for him. "My mother is dying! Please, you have to help her. You promised you would always take care of me, of my family!"

He looked at me then, his eyes as cold and hard as stone. He pried my fingers from his arm, one by one. "I made a promise to Genesis now," he said, his voice flat. "And I will do anything to prove my love for her."

The guards dragged me away, my screams echoing through the cavernous house. They threw me into my bedroom and the soft click of the door closing echoed like a vault sealing shut.

I collapsed onto the floor, sobbing. I remembered the night of the accident. He had held my hand in the ambulance, his face streaked with dirt and tears, and whispered, "I'll never let anything hurt you again, Alya. I swear it."

I stayed in that room all night, the silence broken only by my own desperate prayers.

The next morning, the door opened. Genesis stood there, holding a tablet.

"Your mother passed away an hour ago," she said, her voice devoid of sympathy. "Her lesson is complete."

A wave of nausea and grief so profound it felt like dying washed over me. I couldn't speak. I couldn't breathe.

"Jason felt it was best to handle the arrangements quickly, to avoid any negative energy lingering," she continued, swiping a finger across the tablet. "He arranged for her to be returned to the elements, a beautiful and natural process."

She turned the tablet towards me.

On the screen was a video. All I could make out was a vast, windy landscape under a grey sky. The sound was just the rush of high-altitude wind and a dry, unsettling rustle. I couldn't see the details, but my soul knew. My own face, pale and horrified, was reflected on the dark screen.

A guttural scream ripped from my throat. I launched myself at Genesis, my grief and fury a white-hot explosion. I wanted to tear her serene face to shreds.

Jason was there in an instant, pulling me off her, his grip like steel. "Alya, stop it!"

"She dishonored my mother!" I shrieked, fighting against him. "You let her do this!"

"It was a sacred ritual," Jason said, his voice strained as he held the sobbing Genesis behind him. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a checkbook. "I know you're upset. Here. This should cover your pain and suffering."

He scribbled a number with so many zeros I couldn't count them and tried to press the check into my hand.

The insult, the sheer callousness of it, broke something inside me. A harsh, dry cough ripped through me, stealing the air from my lungs and leaving a sharp, metallic taste in my mouth.

The last thing I saw before the world went black was Jason's face, a flicker of something-was it shock? alarm?-in his cold eyes. I remembered the way he used to look at me, with so much love it felt like the sun.

Then, nothing. My heart, finally, was dead. I decided right then and there. This marriage had to end.

I walked into the master suite clutching a positive pregnancy test, convinced this tiny plastic stick would finally mend the cracks in my relationship with Braeden Randall. I was ready to tell him we were starting a family, that our future was finally secure. Instead of a celebration, a heavy manila envelope struck me in the chest, slicing my lip open. Photos scattered at my feet—grainy images of a woman who looked exactly like me entering a seedy motel with a stranger. Before I could speak, Braeden’s face twisted with a hatred so pure it stole my breath. "I’m pregnant, Braeden! It’s yours!" I sobbed, shielding my stomach. He didn’t hesitate. He called my baby "evidence of my filth" and delivered a kick so brutal it sent me crashing through a glass coffee table. As I lay amidst the shards, watching the white carpet turn crimson with the blood of my lost child, he simply adjusted his cufflinks and told me to "clean up the mess" before walking out. Hours later, I was bound in ropes on a yacht during a violent storm. My stepmother, Brittny, leaned in and whispered the ultimate betrayal: she had murdered my mother, and now she was finishing me off. They threw me into the black, churning ocean like garbage, expecting the waves to swallow my secrets forever. I sank into the freezing depths, fueled by the memory of that final, desperate flutter in my womb and the cold realization that my life had been stolen by a calculated frame-up. How could the man I loved turn into a monster in a single afternoon, and what else were they hiding? Now, four years later, I’ve returned to Cloud City with a heart forged in ice and a genius son who looks exactly like the man who tried to kill me. I’m no longer the victim who begged for mercy; I’m a rising star auditioning for the lead in Braeden’s new production. The games are just beginning, and I won't stop until I've dismantled the Randall empire piece by piece.

I was the Barron heiress, and everyone assumed Damien, the Head Warrior, was my fated match. But the sickening scent of rotting peaches led me to the garden, where I found him pinning Eve against a tree. He wasn't just cheating; he was admitting he only wanted me for the Alpha title, while calling that manipulative charity case his "true queen." When I tried to cut off his funding, he declared war. He sabotaged my saddle, leaving a silver shard embedded in my leg, and sneered that I was vulnerable without him. Then came the ultimate humiliation. At my twenty-first birthday party, in front of every high-ranking wolf, Eve and Damien played a deepfake video of me with Rogues. Damien looked at me with mock pity, offering to marry me only to "hide my shame," while his six brothers stood as a human shield protecting Eve. They called me broken. They thought I was defenseless. But they didn't know I had already sent a message to the most dangerous wolf in existence. Just as Damien tried to force his claim, the ballroom doors exploded inward. The Alpha King walked in, eyes glowing gold, and pulled me against his chest. "She is mine," he growled, silencing the room. I looked at Damien and his brothers, holding up a silver USB drive. "You destroyed my reputation to protect her," I whispered. "Now, let's see if you still want her when you find out she's been sleeping with all seven of you." I plugged in the drive.

The emergency alert from my son Leo' s smartwatch vibrated against my wrist-SOS. I found him face down in the pool, still. My wife, Jessica, stood by the edge, phone in hand, a glass of wine beside her, looking utterly bored. "He' s just faking it again, Liam. He' s trying to get attention," she said, as I pulled Leo' s limp body from the water. My world shattered, and with it, a dam of forgotten memories broke. My name isn' t Liam Hayes; it' s Noah Miller. I' d been in an accident, given amnesia, and then reshaped through countless surgeries into Liam' s spitting image-Jessica' s dead fiancé. I had been nothing more than a replacement, a puppet in a life that wasn' t mine. To find out Liam wasn't even dead, that he was sleeping with my wife right under my nose? It was unbearable. Leo knew. He knew Liam wasn't his father. That's why he fell in the pool. He didn' t fall, he sacrificed himself to expose the truth. Jessica knew he was terrified of water. And she let him drown, to punish him for revealing her carefully constructed lie. While my son lay dying, Jessica and Liam were celebrating their anniversary, taking smiling photos for the social pages. The grief was suffocating, but a cold, hard rage solidified in my chest. I cradled my son' s lifeless body, pulling out my phone. My fingers trembled as I scrolled past Jessica' s name and stopped at Evelyn Reed, her mother. When she answered, I said, "Evelyn, this is Noah Miller. I remember everything. Leo is dead. And it' s time for me to leave." The party was over, and my vengeance was just beginning.

The VIP wing of Miller Hospital was supposed to be a place of quiet luxury, a formality before my wedding to Olivia Hayes, the brilliant CEO. Instead, it became a public spectacle when a male nurse, Liam White, launched into a vicious, calculated attack, slandering me with accusations of STIs and a shocking, fabricated abortion scandal involving a married socialite. The whispers from onlookers ripped through the room, tainting my family's name and leaving me exposed, while Olivia, my fiancée, stood by, seemingly prioritizing appearances over my defense. A cold rage simmered within me. How could anyone believe such disgusting lies, let alone my own fiancée? Why was she so passive, almost complicit? Despite the humiliation, I agreed to further tests to clear my name. But the true betrayal struck days later at Olivia' s bridal boutique, where I discovered Liam, the man who tried to ruin me, brazenly wearing my custom wedding suit. He then deliberately destroyed it. Just as Olivia defended him, a quiet whisper revealed the shocking truth: Olivia and Liam weren't just colleagues-they were lovers, conspiring against me, gloating over my pain. In that moment, everything clicked. The muted reactions, the immediate hire, the fierce protection. It was all a lie. The wedding was off. I threw her engagement ring onto a display table, the clatter echoing the shattering of my world. "You' re a fraud I' ve been funding," I told her, exposing her financial deceptions to the stunned crowd. My family' s formidable legal power swung into action. I sued them both, ripping away their carefully constructed facades, watching their alliance crumble into bitter accusations. Their ultimate fate, a desperate struggle ending in a fatal fall, played out on the marble staircase of my new mansion, a chilling, final release. I am free. And now, my story truly begins.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
