Introduction

I married tech mogul Ethan Hayes for one purpose: to save my dying brother.

Five years, a gilded cage.

Curator by day, desperate sister by night, I endured his coldness and countless affairs.

Then, a falling sculpture, a blinding pain, and the secret hope of three months was violently extinguished.

"I lost the baby," I whispered, my voice raw.

His chilling reply: "Don't be dramatic, Ava. I'm busy. Send me the bill."

Two days later, my brother, David, his last will to fight gone, passed.

Ethan, consumed by a baseless vendetta against my father, publicly humiliated me, using David' s very ashes as a cruel weapon.

He even orchestrated my brutal assault in a dark warehouse, leaving me battered and violated, a trophy for his mistress.

Every bruised inch of my body screamed, but the betrayal was the deepest wound.

Where was the protective man I once knew?

How could he have become such a monster, all built on a lie?

I wouldn't just break; I would break him.

I would uncover the truth about our fathers, expose his monstrous deception, and shatter his world.

My meticulous revenge began now.
