"Men are pathetic."

I brushed a lock of dark chestnut hair away from my cheekbone. The crisp glow of the Hollywood bulbs illuminated my reflection in the vanity mirror.

No tears stained my cheeks. The initial agony of knowing my husband was sleeping with Scarlett had already burned through my system, leaving nothing but cold, hardened ash.

Julian was filthy.

The mere thought of his hands touching another woman, trailing down her skin, pulling her close, and then attempting to touch me made my stomach churn with intense nausea. I gripped the edge of the vanity, my knuckles turning white against the polished wood.

He will never cross the threshold of my bedroom again, I promised myself.

He thought he was the master puppeteer, orchestrating a tragedy where I played the disgraced, weeping victim. He wanted an affair? He wanted to drag my name through the mud to protect his fortune?

I would give him an illusion so grand it would bankrupt him.

I reached for my private laptop, flipping the lid open. The screen glowed, demanding a password. My fingers flew across the keys, bypassing the military-grade encryption I had installed months ago after finding the first suspicious credit card statement.

I grabbed my phone and dialed a number I had memorized but never hoped to use.

"It's midnight, Elena," Arthur Penhaligon answered. Manhattan's top divorce litigator sounded wide awake.

"Wake up, Arthur. We have a war to win."

"Did Julian finally slip up?"

"He did more than slip up. He built me a guillotine."

"Explain."

"He's sleeping with Scarlett."

"His old flame?" The line crackled with Arthur's shifting weight. "The one from the Hamptons?"

"The very same. But infidelity isn't his

"Her blood type is a match. It’s the only option." I froze outside the conference room door, the quarterly reports digging into my ribs. I knew that voice. It was Ben, my husband’s best friend and doctor. But the next voice, cold and devoid of warmth, shattered my world. "Then we do it," my husband Ethan said. "Chloe cannot wait any longer. If Ava is the match, then Ava is the solution." For the past month, Ethan had been obsessed with my health, insisting on daily "vitamins" and endless checkups. He called it love. Standing in that hallway, I realized he was actually shopping for spare parts. "She is your wife, Ethan," Ben argued weakly. "You can't just harvest her like a crop." "She became my wife because she was useful," Ethan replied, his indifference cutting deeper than any scalpel. "Now, she can be useful for this." The realization hit me with the force of a physical blow. The nausea I’d been feeling wasn't stress. I was pregnant. And those "vitamins" he fed me every morning? They weren't supplements. They were poisons designed to ensure I remained a viable donor. He was killing his own child to save his mistress. To him, I wasn't a partner. I was livestock. An asset to be liquidated for parts. I didn't burst into the room. I didn't scream. I walked away in silence, my hand hovering over my stomach. He wanted my kidney? He wanted to carve me up? I decided right then. I wouldn't just leave. I would terminate the pregnancy, fake my death, and burn his entire world to the ground.
