The letter in my hand promised a dream-a master seamstress position at a prestigious fashion house, a chance to reclaim the skill I' d spent a lifetime perfecting. But when I shared the news with my son, David, and his wife, Sarah, in the house I' d bought for them with my retirement savings, their response wasn't joy, but a chilling demand: "Since you' ll have your own income now, it' s only fair that you start paying rent." The words hit me like a physical blow. Rent. In my own home, where I' d cooked, cleaned, and cared for their child for years without asking for a dime. They dismissed my sacrifices, claiming they were merely "my duty as a mother," an "investment" that now required repayment. Their greed escalated, demanding all of Leo' s care, then escalating into vicious accusations and threats of divorce, of taking my grandson away, all to force me into submission. My son, David, sat by silently, a coward, choosing his manipulative wife over his own mother. My heart shattered, but a cold resolve settled over me. There was no family left to save. I gathered the few things that mattered and walked out, leaving behind the shattered remnants of a love that had become a cage.

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.
