"When passion turns to poison, and love becomes a distant memory, two souls are left to pick up the shattered remains of their relationship. Once inseparable, they now find themselves on opposite sides of a bitter divide. The fire that once burned bright with desire and affection has flickered out, replaced by a smoldering ember of resentment and anger. As they navigate the treacherous landscape of their broken love, they must confront the painful truth: that the person they once loved with all their heart has become their greatest enemy. Will they be able to find their way back to each other, or will the wounds of their past prove too deep to heal?"

Chapter 1 The Perfect Beginning

Ava Sinclair stood beneath the old oak tree, the same place where Ethan Carter had first kissed her when they were thirteen. The town of Ashwood was small, the kind of place where everyone knew everyone's business, and today, the only business that mattered was Ethan's proposal. Ava stared down at the diamond ring glistening in the fading sunlight. It wasn't extravagant, but it was perfect. The boy she had loved since childhood, the man she thought she'd spend forever with. And she said "Yes," with tears welling in her eyes.

"A million times, yes." Ethan grinned, pulling her into a kiss as the town's church bells rang in the distance. It felt like fate, like a promise of something unbreakable. But fate, Ava would soon learn, had a cruel sense of humor. Because that night, as she returned home, she found an envelope waiting for her. No sender. No return address. Just her name, written in an unsteady hand. Inside was a single piece of paper, and as her eyes scanned the words, her world tilted. *Your fiancé's father destroyed your family. If you marry Ethan Carter, you'll regret it.* Ava's hands trembled. Her parents had never spoken about what had happened years ago, why they had lost everything. And now, this? She wanted to ignore it. But deep inside, a whisper of doubt began to grow. And that whisper would change everything.

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.
