My husband, Alex, was the love of my life, a man whose quiet devotion always amazed me. I, Sarah, a surgical resident, believed our love was built on mutual respect and shared dreams. Then Kevin, Alex's sickly brother, needed an urgent heart transplant, and the family turned to Alex, expecting him to donate his 'spare' heart. Alex claimed he only had one left, even providing recent medical scans, but I, burdened by professional duty and family pressure, dismissed his pleas as selfish lies. We'd always known he had two hearts, a miracle he was meant to share. As one of the surgeons, I participated in the procedure, unknowingly cutting out the only heart he had left for his brother. Alex died on the operating table, his passing a mere inconvenience, dismissed as stress or an expected outcome of his "unique physiology," while I focused on Kevin's survival, believing that Alex had merely "left" the hospital later. The crushing truth hit me like a scalpel to the chest when my former mentor, Dr. Albright, casually revealed I was the recipient of Alex's *first* heart, years ago. Alex's last words echoed: "My other heart... it's with you, Sarah." The man I loved, the man who'd already saved my life, died by my hand because I believed he was a liar. But the nightmare intensified. On Alex's phone, I found texts from Kevin – a chilling chronicle of psychological torment, proving he knew Alex only had one heart and deliberately manipulated me into dismissing his truth. That's when my grief turned to absolute fury. I marched back to Kevin's room, not for answers, but for retribution.

Introduction

My husband, Alex, was the love of my life, a man whose quiet devotion always amazed me. I, Sarah, a surgical resident, believed our love was built on mutual respect and shared dreams.

Then Kevin, Alex's sickly brother, needed an urgent heart transplant, and the family turned to Alex, expecting him to donate his 'spare' heart. Alex claimed he only had one left, even providing recent medical scans, but I, burdened by professional duty and family pressure, dismissed his pleas as selfish lies. We'd always known he had two hearts, a miracle he was meant to share.

As one of the surgeons, I participated in the procedure, unknowingly cutting out the only heart he had left for his brother. Alex died on the operating table, his passing a mere inconvenience, dismissed as stress or an expected outcome of his "unique physiology," while I focused on Kevin's survival, believing that Alex had merely "left" the hospital later.

The crushing truth hit me like a scalpel to the chest when my former mentor, Dr. Albright, casually revealed I was the recipient of Alex's *first* heart, years ago. Alex's last words echoed: "My other heart... it's with you, Sarah." The man I loved, the man who'd already saved my life, died by my hand because I believed he was a liar.

But the nightmare intensified. On Alex's phone, I found texts from Kevin – a chilling chronicle of psychological torment, proving he knew Alex only had one heart and deliberately manipulated me into dismissing his truth. That's when my grief turned to absolute fury. I marched back to Kevin's room, not for answers, but for retribution.

My coming-out party should have been the most glittering night of my life. As Chloe Davis, the Davis fortune' s true heiress, perched at the top of the grand staircase, I was the picture of cool, collected perfection in my silver silk gown. Then, everything shattered. The ballroom' s elegant music died, replaced by gasps as a grainy video flashed across the screens, showing me in a hotel room with a man who was not my fiancé. Humiliation burned through me, absolute and suffocating, as whispers turned to a roar of judgment. I fled, desperate for comfort, to my fiancé Liam Sterling' s penthouse, only to overhear him boast, "She deserved it," revealing the public disgrace was a calculated plan with my adopted sister, Sophia. The world spun, the betrayal a bitter choke in my throat. I escaped his apartment, returning home only to be slapped by my mother and banished to Europe by my parents, who watched with disgust. They had chosen Sophia over me. Days later, Liam appeared at my bedroom door, playing the concerned fiancé, claiming it was all a misunderstanding while Sophia texted me intimate photos of them. My last shred of hope withered when I called him, only to hear Sophia' s seductive voice in the background, telling him to "come back to bed." Then came the ultimate cruelty: Sophia' s staged fall down the stairs, followed by Liam's cold, calculating words to the guards, "Your eyes, Chloe, will be a perfect match." I woke to darkness, bandages covering my eyes. Liam spun a sick tale of my eye being donated to a blind child, while Sophia' s punishment for orchestrating everything was a single day of "grounding." The injustice was a physical weight, but the worst was yet to come. Accused of stealing Sophia' s necklace, I was dragged to an icy pond by Liam who, finding out I was pregnant, forced me into the freezing water to miscarry. I heard him confess afterwards, "Of course I did it on purpose. Now there's nothing standing in our way." The last bit of me broke, replaced by a cold, silent resolve. I called Julian Thorne.

The screech of tires, then black. I woke up in a void, a sterile blue screen floating before me, informing me I was Ava Miller, critically comatose, and tasked with a "Life Reformation" mission. One hundred missions, healing me 1% at a time, fulfilled the regrets of strangers. Ninety-eight down, and I was almost free, almost back to my life, my career, my husband Liam. Then mission 99 dropped. The client: Liam Stone. His request? To erase the public proposal that started our love story in high school. My love story. My heart pounded, disbelieving. It had to be a cruel twist, a cosmic joke. But then his tired, weary voice filled the silence. "I'm just so, so tired of this marriage. Seeing you lying in that bed... it's a burden. The whole thing was a mistake. Ava was always a bit much, so intense, so dramatic. Chloe was just... easy." And the final blow: "She let herself go even before the accident. There were stretch marks on her stomach... she looks like a corpse." He was speaking about me, the unconscious woman he vowed to cherish. The vibrant, loving man I married found my very existence sickening. The betrayal was a physical ache, a venomous poison seeping into my core. All my efforts, all my pain, all the lives I had changed-just to get back to him, only for him to declare me an intolerable burden, a mistake he wished to undo. A cold, hard resolve crystallized within me. He had shattered my heart, but he wouldn't take my life with it. My path to waking up, my only hope, depended on fulfilling his cruel, humiliating wish. With trembling fingers, I typed my reply: "I'll do it."

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
