My mother's impossibly sweet voice confirmed the usual: another polite banishment to an "art program." My life, I knew, had always been transactional, a mere "spare part" after I saved my sister Jessica's life. But this time, as I numbly agreed, a full-body shock pulsed through me. I remembered dying. The screech of tires, the shattered glass, the red bloom on a wedding dress. I was back. Reborn. On the very morning they first tried to erase me. My past was a relentless betrayal. Jessica, the golden child, had stolen my identity, my connection with Ethan-the man who once called me "Wren." My parents enabled her, labeling me jealous. At their engagement party, a staged "accident" left my hand bleeding, ignored. Then, my own father publicly struck me, and Ethan, the man I loved, stood by, his face utterly cold. How could they be so blindly cruel? How could my own family always choose their lies over my existence? And Ethan, who once knew my quiet soul, believed every falsehood, watching me break without mercy? The pain of betrayal was suffocating. No more. As the ultimate humiliation settled, a terrifying resolve hardened. I wouldn't fight for their approval. I wouldn't scream. I would agree to their terms, but internally, I would sever every tie. I would disappear, truly free, and build a new life where they held no power.

Introduction

My mother's impossibly sweet voice confirmed the usual: another polite banishment to an "art program."

My life, I knew, had always been transactional, a mere "spare part" after I saved my sister Jessica's life.

But this time, as I numbly agreed, a full-body shock pulsed through me.

I remembered dying.

The screech of tires, the shattered glass, the red bloom on a wedding dress.

I was back.

Reborn.

On the very morning they first tried to erase me.

My past was a relentless betrayal.

Jessica, the golden child, had stolen my identity, my connection with Ethan-the man who once called me "Wren."

My parents enabled her, labeling me jealous.

At their engagement party, a staged "accident" left my hand bleeding, ignored.

Then, my own father publicly struck me, and Ethan, the man I loved, stood by, his face utterly cold.

How could they be so blindly cruel?

How could my own family always choose their lies over my existence?

And Ethan, who once knew my quiet soul, believed every falsehood, watching me break without mercy?

The pain of betrayal was suffocating.

No more.

As the ultimate humiliation settled, a terrifying resolve hardened.

I wouldn't fight for their approval.

I wouldn't scream.

I would agree to their terms, but internally, I would sever every tie.

I would disappear, truly free, and build a new life where they held no power.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
