After a messy marriage, which is summed up by her husband's numerous infidelities and repeated sexually transmitted infections, Angela loses interest in life, even more so when her ex-husband takes away her only daughter. She now lives in the dark, shuns men and spends her days hoping to find her daughter. However, after an unexpected encounter, Angela gradually regains a taste for life, until her ex-husband, who obviously has not finished with her, makes it his mission to destroy her if she refuses to give him another chance.

***COLLINS AGNIMEL

- A scandal? You think this is the time to indulge? When we're one step away from reaching the stars?

- I didn't do anything.

- Go tell the press and we'll see if that's enough to shut it down. God, how many times have I told you to watch out when you're dealing with all those bitches? With all those vaginas on legs chasing you, you had to rape a 17 year old girl.

- (Slamming his fist down) DAMN I SAID I DIDN'T DO IT.

- You don't yell at me, I'm your father as well as your manager. It's my job to do all the work to get this across.

- Let people think what they want. I didn't do anything and this kid won't say otherwise in front of me.

- So you want to confront her? To create more scandal?

- Pff!!!

I get up from the chair completely tired of hearing this man yell incessantly.

- Collins you get your ass back in that chair.

- I've got work to do.

I slam the door behind me. I'm tired of all these stories. No sooner does one end than another begins. How long will I be subjected to the wickedness of men? Don't I have the right to a little respite? There are days when I just want to throw it all away. I love what I do. No, I love it. But I'm starting to get sick of everything around me. Everything I want

is just to do what I love and live my life the way I want to. I'm tired of people always telling me what to do and other people telling me what to do with my life.

I didn't rape this girl. She approached me, asked for my autograph and I gave it to her. After that, basta. Now I'm accused of harassment and worse of rape. May God take my breath away the day I engage in such practices. I have always lived discreetly but people always try to get me out of hiding.

- Damn it!

I throw away the umpteenth ball of paper on which I was trying in vain to write a text. It will soon be three months that I can't copy anymore, that nothing comes to my mind. I'm out of order. I can't do anything anymore. But I have to come up with something. Maybe something new will silence this scandal. It could, but right now my brain is fried. I need inspiration.

I go down to my studio. My brother is there playing with the mixer.

- Give me a beat," I tell him.

I walk into the booth in front of the microphone. I stare at the headphones and take a deep breath. The music plays. Lemuel beckons me to go on but I have no introductory phrase. What am I going to talk about? Love? Yes, that's my general term. But what story exactly am I going to tell?

- Is something still wrong? my brother asks me.

- No. Nothing comes to mind.

I join him on the other side and fall into the couch.

- It's been almost three months since you composed anything. You haven't updated your statuses on your different accounts either. People are asking you what's going on.

- I'm off, bro. I think it's the end of my career.

- Don't say that. Blues happen to everyone. So do the symptoms of a blank slate. Plus your latest hit is still going strong.

- The problem is not to release a sound now. The point is that I'm not inspired anymore. If I'm going to release a hit song in the next few months, I need to start writing now.

My father enters the studio with a bang. I gasp.

- I have organized a conference with the media, he announces to me. You must speak about this story. Your fans are waiting for that.

- I don't want to say anything about anything.

- It's like you don't give a shit about your career. Just three years of being a star and you already want to go back in the closet?

- Here we go again.

- I'm working my ass off to save your career and this is how you react? Anyway, I'll give you your schedule. Tonight you have an interview with a reporter right here in this house. Tomorrow afternoon you have a performance at La Cigale and from there you fly to Brazil. You have a video to shoot. Your fans want footage of your latest sound. So pack your suitcase now. Lemuel, do the same and prepare the staff.

He comes out the same way he went in, answering his cell phone. I look at my brother.

- Do you have something to say? I ask him.

- Yes, but I don't know if you will.

- Always say.

- I think you need a vacation.

I squint.

- For three months you've been overworked. Everything is coming at you and you can't even write a sentence. You need to be away from everyone for a while, to take a breath and take stock. You need to do some feedback on yourself.

You will certainly find a solution and inspiration again.

I sigh. It's not such a bad idea.

- Dad will never want me to leave.

- Who said anything about asking his permission?

- An elopement?

- No, a vacation. You're the star and the boss. No one can stop you from doing what you want.

Seen from this angle, he's not wrong. But we'll see.

- I'll be in my room.

- I'll be in my room.

I slap his hand. In my room, I lie on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I'm in a bad place in my life and I don't know how to handle it. At least if I still had my gun I could easily shut them all up. But I lost that gun, my inspiration.

I turn on my player. Maybe listening to me will give me a boost. I sing along with the music. I've always had continuous inspiration. I have written thousands of lyrics that are now a hit everywhere. In three years, I have released two albums of 13 tracks each. I also have singles. I am very

I quickly made a name for myself with my hits. But now I'm already at the end of my rope. I love what I do but all I want now is to be left alone.

They knock on my bedroom door.

- I said I wanted to be left alone.

- It's me bro.

- Come on in.

Omar's coming in. He's one of my best friends. He manages my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.

- What's up bro?" he asks.

We clap our hands.

- CLEAR.

- You need to get moving because your accounts are dead. I'm trying to do posts to liven things up but people want to see you. They all want a video of their idol.

- Well, they'll have to wait again because I'm not in the mood for that.

He sits down in the chair in front of me.

- What's wrong with you? This isn't the first time you've been in the middle of a story. People create false stories about you all the time. You're used to it.

- But this is rape of a minor. Rape and harassment. And it's not just that. I don't know, I'm not myself anymore. I'm going to throw it all away.

- You need a break for a few weeks. Maybe a few months.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
