Chapter 1 Prologue

Prologue

Jana felt so alone she was being treated badly by everyone in her life. She had no one she could even turn to. She had all these friends, but they thought she had it good. They didn't see the pain she hid so well. She felt utterly alone and broken.

See Jana was a teen mom that married at a young age he was so good to her at first being the perfect father and husband, but a year into their marriage everything changed he became distant and would yell a lot. He didn't spend any time with the twins other than to yell at them and put them down.

Jana would cook and clean for him, but it was never good enough. He never took her out anywhere like he was ashamed of how she looked. He had issues that's for sure one minute he was the man she fell in love with the next he would yell at her for no reason.

Couldn't he see they had it all a nice home nice car love a family wasn't that good enough for him anymore? She needed to get out before it was too late, she knew it was only a matter of time before he would hit her but how could she get away when she was so alone?

She knew he had other women. He would come home smelling of perfume. He was always gone. He never touched her and would scream at her if she tried to touch him. She didn't know why he even stayed. It was as if he hated her, and it was clear to see he wasn't happy.

She asked him if he wanted a divorce, and he told her she could never leave him. She had nowhere to go, no money, and no one to turn to. She was miserable. Something needed to change. Things couldn't stay like this. All she did was cry. She just wanted a safe place for her and her children to be happy.

How could she do that in a home where they were in constant fear. One wrong move would set him off. The kids couldn't be normal happy kids. Their own father wanted nothing to do with them. He wanted everything to be perfect. The kids have to be in bed before he is home, and food hot and on the table.

He would say he had meetings for work and take off for days. Those were the times Jana lived for. Having it just be her and the kids home was nice. They would laugh and be happy. Then he would come back and fight over any little thing.

There had to be more to life than this. There had to be a way out. Someone that could help her. She knew if she left him, he had the power and the money to destroy her. She needed to get far away and start over. She was tired of always being alone.

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
