At the Gala, My Wife Became a Stranger

“Ethan Miller poured his heart and soul into supporting his wife, Izzy, a struggling artist, and their little daughter, Lily. Then, a dazzling charity gala ripped his world apart when he discovered Izzy wasn't a struggling artist but Isabella Vance, a ruthless heiress, who mocked his naivete and called him a mere "interlude." The woman he loved turned monstrous, plotting to use their innocent daughter, Lily, as a bone marrow donor for her old flame Julian's son, forcing Ethan to donate his own rare blood under threat of homelessness. Even after Julian's son pushed Lily, fracturing her skull, Izzy twisted the knife, forcing Ethan to apologize, then secretly ordered kidnappers to "cancel his ticket"-meaning kill him and Lily-when they failed to extort her, resulting in Lily's arm being brutally broken. How could the woman he adored, the mother of his child, be so utterly devoid of empathy, so cruel and calculated, turning their entire marriage into a twisted performance? Shattered and with Lily gravely injured, Ethan made the only choice left: he severed ties with the monster, filing for divorce and escaping with his daughter to the quiet refuge of his parents' home, determined to build a life free from Izzy's dark machinations.”
