Stella Rossi believed she had it all: engaged to the brilliant tech mogul, Ethan Cole, with a future of love and shared ambition.
But after his sudden death, her world shattered.
She uncovered his chilling secrets: a hidden devotion to his ward, Chloe, a cruel plot to prevent Stella from having children, and a will leaving her penniless, burdened by his company's catastrophic debts.
At Ethan's funeral, a mob of AI disaster victims, blaming Stella, brutally attacked her, leaving her for dead.
As darkness claimed her, one thought burned: "If I had another chance, I'd never marry you."
Then, light.
Stella gasped awake, weeks before the wedding, her dying wish granted.
This time, she wouldn't be a victim of his betrayal.
With cold clarity, she cancelled the engagement, reclaiming her dreams and severing ties with the man who ruined her.
But Chloe, Ethan' s cunning "light," wouldn' t let her go so easily.
From destroyed legacies to a burning apartment, Stella faced Chloe's vicious sabotage and Ethan's unwavering, blind devotion to his ward.
With a bloodied arm, a symbol of her agonizing defiance, Stella cut all ties.
She vanished, dedicating herself to a top-secret astrophysics project, leaving behind the monstrous reality she' d twice endured.
