Five years. That' s how long Sarah Miller believed she' d built a real family and found true love with billionaire Ethan Vanderbilt, the man she married through a mysterious deal that saved her life. Their son, Noah, was turning five. At his birthday party, Noah, coached by Ethan, blew out his candles and wished: "I want Daddy and Mommy to divorce so Aunt Olivia can be my new mom!" Ethan' s cold, approving smile was a dagger, shattering my heart. He served divorce papers, calling me a mere "placeholder" for his recovery. Publicly shamed, disowned by my parents, and rejected by my son for his new "Auntie Olivia," every sacrifice was dismissed. My rare Larsen' s Syndrome, previously suppressed, ravaged my body, mirroring my shattered life. Was every tender moment a calculated performance? The man I nursed back to health, my child's father, utterly discarded me. Abandoned and utterly broken, I wrestled with this profound betrayal. With nothing left, I activated The Guide' s "exit clause," staging my dramatic public demise. I plunged into a new reality as Ava Monroe, a famous Hollywood actress, determined to finally find genuine love. But a ghost from my past, Ethan, followed, poised to conquer me again, threatening my new beginning.
