For five years, I was the live-in psychologist who saved billionaire Julian Davenport. I did it to repay a debt, believing he was the boy who once saved my life.

On my last day, he and his fiancée framed me.

They destroyed my career, turned my family against me, and left me with nothing. I was broken, betrayed by the very man I had healed.

Then, a kind stranger found me standing in the rain. He revealed a devastating secret that changed everything: he was my real savior, and the man I sacrificed my life for was a fraud.

Chapter 1

Elara Vance POV:

On the final day of my five-year contract, Julian Davenport' s assistant called to ask if I would be renewing.

I didn't answer right away. My gaze was fixed on the document sitting on my desk: a termination of services agreement. I' d had it drafted a month ago.

Five years. I had spent five years of my life tethered to one man, untangling the knots of his trauma while my own life remained in a tightly wound ball. Five years of sleepless nights, of calming his panic attacks, of being his anchor in a storm of his own making.

I had done it to repay a debt. A debt I thought I owed him.

"Dr. Vance?" his assistant, a man I' d spoken to a thousand times, prompted gently.

"No," I said, my voice surprisingly steady. "I will not be renewing."

A beat of silence on the other end. "I see. Mr. Davenport will be... disappointed. Especially with Ms. Moss returning."

A short, bitter laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it. Chandler Moss. Of course.

"I' m sure he' ll manage," I said, my tone clipped. "The contract officially ends at midnight tonight. Please forward my final payment."

I hung up before he could reply.

The irony was thick enough to choke on. The contract was ending, and Julian' s fiancée-the woman whose departure had shattered him five years ago-was returning. Her wedding to Julian was scheduled for next week.

My five years of penance were up. The debt was paid. It was time for me to disappear from his life, and I should probably offer a congratulations on my way out. After all, Chandler Moss was his first love.

I still remembered the day his mother came to me. Julian, the ruthless CEO who made markets tremble, had been reduced to a ghost after Chandler left him for another man. He was self-destructing, drowning in alcohol and rage.

I was Dr. Elara Vance, a performance psychologist specializing in PTSD. I had built my reputation from nothing, clawing my way out of the foster system to become one of the most sought-after specialists in the country.

His mother pleaded with me, offering a sum that could change my life. I was about to refuse. High-profile, live-in contracts were messy, the lines always blurred.

Then she showed me his picture.

And I was thrown back in time. A skinny, terrified sixteen-year-old girl, soaked to the bone in a merciless downpour, having just been kicked out of another foster home. A car had pulled over, and a boy, not much older than me, had gotten out. He didn't say a word, just draped his own expensive-looking jacket over my shoulders and placed a warm carton of milk in my trembling hands before driving away.

I never saw his face clearly in the rain, but the image in the photograph clicked into place with the ghost of that memory. Julian Davenport. He was the boy who had shown me a sliver of kindness when the world had shown me none.

He was my savior.

So I took the job.

He didn't remember me, of course. When I first arrived at his penthouse, he looked at me with pure loathing, his eyes bloodshot and hollow. "Another vulture sent by my mother to pick at my bones?" he' d snarled.

I didn't defend myself. I simply took the shard of glass from his hand before he could press it deeper into his palm.

For months, it was a battle. I coaxed him to eat, practically forcing spoonfuls of soup past his lips. I sat with him through the night, talking him down from the ledge of his nightmares until he finally collapsed into a fitful sleep. It was exhausting, thankless work. Day after day, year after year.

Slowly, he started to heal. The storms inside him began to quiet. He returned to his company, more formidable than ever. I thought my job was done.

When I first tried to leave, three years in, the cold, distant Julian I knew vanished. He stood in the doorway, blocking my path, a flicker of panic in his eyes. "Don' t go," he' d said, his voice low.

From that day on, something shifted. He started blurring the lines I fought so hard to maintain. A hand lingering on my arm too long. A soft look across the dinner table. He started depending on me for more than just therapy.

"Julian, this is unprofessional," I' d told him, time and again. "Our relationship is strictly doctor-patient."

He would just smile, a dark, possessive glint in his eyes, and ignore me. I tried to transfer his case to a colleague, but he somehow sabotaged the arrangement, making it clear he would only work with me.

For the last year, it was a confusing, suffocating dance. I held fast to my ethics, but I couldn't deny the pull. He was charming when he wanted to be, and my foolish heart, starved for affection, started to waver.

Then, two months ago, the news broke: Chandler Moss was back.

It was like a switch flipped. Suddenly, I understood. His recovery wasn't for himself. It was for her. He wanted to be a man worthy of her when she finally came back. All his progress, all his supposed reliance on me, was just a means to an end.

And the "affection" ? It was just a tool to keep his therapist, his human security blanket, from leaving.

The realization was a punch to the gut. My five years of devotion felt like a joke. A sick, pathetic joke.

Now, he and Chandler were inseparable, their smiling faces plastered across every gossip site. It was time for me to make a graceful exit before their wedding. Maybe once he was married, he would finally leave me alone.

My phone buzzed with a text. It was from Chandler.

My luggage is at the west entrance of the St. Regis. Julian and I are in the Monarch Suite. Bring it up.

I stared at the message, a cold knot forming in my stomach. She was treating me like a bellhop. And Julian was letting her.

But the contract wasn't over until midnight. I needed that final payment. So I swallowed my pride, my anger, and my humiliation, and I went.

When I arrived at the suite, pushing a heavy luggage cart, the door was ajar. I could hear their voices. I pushed the door open to find Chandler draped over Julian on the sofa, her lips pressed to his neck.

She pulled back slowly, her eyes landing on me with a smirk. "Took you long enough. Some of us don' t have all day."

Julian looked over at me, his expression unreadable.

"Just a psychologist, darling," Chandler cooed, loud enough for me to hear. "Basically a glorified assistant. You pay them to listen to your problems. You can pay them to carry your bags, too."

Julian didn't disagree. He just watched me, a silent endorsement of her words.

The air in my lungs felt thick and heavy. I started unloading the bags, my movements stiff. When I was done, I turned to leave.

"Where do you think you' re going?" Julian' s voice, cool and commanding, stopped me in my tracks. "We' re flying to the vineyard for the final wedding preparations. You' re coming with us."

That familiar tone, the one that used to make me feel needed, now felt like a chain around my neck. I saw the flash of irritation in Chandler' s eyes. She didn' t want me there.

And for the first time in five years, I was completely and utterly sick of him. Of his selfishness, of his games.

But there were only a few hours left. I just had to endure a few more hours.

At the private airport, I wrestled the heavy suitcases myself while they walked ahead, hands linked, without a single backward glance. In the VIP lounge, Chandler' s demands continued.

"I want a non-fat, extra hot, no-foam latte," she said, not even looking at me.

"And get me a black Americano," Julian added, his eyes on his phone.

I clenched my jaw, my knuckles white as I gripped my purse. I turned and walked to the barista bar, the humiliation burning in my chest.

The latte was scalding, even through the cardboard sleeve. I carried both drinks back carefully.

"Careful," I said, placing the Americano on the table next to Julian. "The latte is extremely hot."

Chandler reached for it impatiently, her manicured nails scraping against the cup. "I' m not a child, I- ah!"

She fumbled it. The cup tilted, and a wave of searing liquid splashed not on her, but all over my hand and forearm.

A sharp, agonizing pain shot up my arm. I gasped, my eyes instantly flooding with tears. My skin was already turning a blistering red.

Julian was on his feet in an instant, but he moved to Chandler, pulling her away from the spill, his hands checking her for injuries. She was perfectly fine.

He turned to me, his face a mask of fury. "What the hell is wrong with you, Elara? Are you that incompetent? You could have scarred her!"

I stared at him, bewildered. My arm felt like it was on fire, and he was yelling at me. I knew he saw what happened. He was sitting right there. He saw her grab the cup.

But he was still blaming me.

A sour, acidic taste filled my mouth. I looked down, my vision blurred by tears I refused to let fall. A single drop escaped, landing silently on the polished floor. No one noticed.

In that moment, watching him shield the woman he loved, a strange sense of peace washed over me. This was it. This was the final cut. He had his love, his future. He didn't need me anymore.

And I... I was finally, blessedly, free.

I straightened up, my voice shockingly calm as I met his angry gaze. "Mr. Davenport, as of this moment, I am terminating our contract ahead of schedule."

He frowned, the command in his voice unwavering. "What did you just say?"

I took a breath, and this time, my voice was louder, clearer, echoing in the quiet lounge.

"I quit."
