Chapter 1

Seven years of love, and I personally pushed Julian Vance to the absolute peak of Hollywood.

On the day he bid fifty million dollars for a legendary, flawless pink diamond at a charity auction, the entire internet was waiting for him to propose to me.

Even I thought this would be the perfect fairytale ending to our seven-year romance.

But under the blinding spotlights, he walked right past me. He placed the pink diamond necklace around the neck of Chloe White—a helpless, naive rookie who had just debuted.

"This necklace is too heavy for you to wear, Selena. You don't need it. Chloe needs it more."

I wanted to fight back, but I soon realized he had already secretly transferred my movie contracts, my connections, and even my life’s work to her.

It wasn't until a raging fire broke out on the set of a survival reality show that the truth fully hit me.

I was left struggling in the smoke, screaming for help, while Julian carried Chloe—who had nothing but a tiny scratch on her knee—out of the flames without once looking back.

At that moment, my heart died.

He forgot one thing.

Everything he owned was given to him by me.

I could build him up to the highest peak, and I could drag him down to the deepest hell.
