My name is Ava Green, and I am the only daughter of tech mogul Richard Green. I grew up in a sprawling mansion with seven boyfriends, all orphans my father had taken in. I desperately loved Liam Hayes, one of them, who remained distant despite my years of trying to please him.
That hope shattered when I overheard Liam confess his love to his "sister," Chloe Hayes, another orphan adopted by my father. The world tilted as I realized their "love" was a carefully constructed fantasy. All of them, including Chloe, were part of a scheme to exploit my father.
The next morning, I announced I was moving out and marrying Ethan Miller, my father's rival. I also cut off all their allowances, sparking chaos. Chloe cried, the other boyfriends accused me, and Liam' s icy disappointment fueled my resolve. He orchestrated an alley attack on me, making it clear he saw me as nothing more than a pawn.
At my birthday gala, Liam publicly bought a fake necklace to humiliate me, which Ethan deftly exposed, revealing Liam's manipulation. Later, Liam tried to win me back, claiming remorse, unaware I knew of his betrayal and Chloe's true colors.
After Chloe viciously taunted me, admitting she was sleeping with Liam and all the other boyfriends, my rage finally erupted. I slapped her. At my engagement party, Liam tried to further humiliate me by playing a video of my alley attack, unaware I had been secretly gathering my own evidence for weeks. It was time for my truth to be heard.
