I saw him on the magazine cover, Ethan Reed with Chloe Davis, the "perfect couple." Seven years I' d told myself running was for the best, for his success. But seeing the tech billionaire celebrated still felt like a punch. Our past began with debt: my family' s help for his sick brother, twisted into forcing him to "choose" me over childhood friend Chloe. Then the nightmare: my possessive love destroying his life, with a miserable child at its core. Two pink lines confirmed I was pregnant with that child, forcing a terrifying decision. The decision was brutal: I told him our relationship was a "game," then vanished. Alone in London, I raised our daughter Lily, convinced I' d saved him. Five years later, Lily' s severe nut allergy, identical to Ethan' s, innocently revealed all. His raw whisper, "She's mine, Sarah. Lily is my daughter," shattered my facade. Then, an anonymous text with my secret dream's details: Does he know why you ran away? My blood ran cold. How could anyone know? Was my sacrifice a sinister lie? The truth unveiled: Chloe wasn't just a rival. She was a puppet master, feeding us both orchestrated nightmares. She built a manipulative prison of fear. Now, as her schemes explode in public, the true battle for our fragmented family begins.
