Emily POV I woke up at 5:30 AM to an empty bed. Jason's side was cold—he had left hours ago for the gym, or so the story went. I didn't believe it anymore, but I'd stopped asking questions months ago. The answers only ever hurt.I showered in silence, dressed in beige slacks and a sweater that had long lost its shape, and tied my hair back. The woman in the mirror looked nothing like the girl who had once commanded Formula 1 tracks at 200 miles per hour. That girl died seven years ago when I chose love over everything else.Downstairs, I moved through my normal routine like clockwork. Coffee for Jason—two shots of espresso, a splash of oat milk, no sugar. I'd memorized it years ago. He had never once thanked me for remembering. I prepared his breakfast tray, arranged the newspaper he pretended to read, and set out his vitamins in the small crystal dish his mother had given us as a wedding gift. Everything had to be perfect. It was never enough.The twins thundered down the stairs at

Emily POV I barely slept. By dawn, I was already pulling a small duffel bag from the closet, my hands shaking as I packed Ethan's clothes.

She's been instrumental to the success."My escape would have to wait another day. I couldn't take Ethan without causing a scene that would give Jason legal ammunition fo

Jason POV I stood in the driveway long after the Bentley disappeared, my mind refusing to process what had just happened.Emily left.Actually left."Jason?" Vanessa's voice was uncertain behind me. "Maybe you should go after her?""She'll be back by tonight." The words sounded like lies even to me. "She's just angry. Women get emotional."Margaret sniffed dismissively. "Good riddance. That girl never belonged in this family anyway. No class, no connections, no breeding—""Mom, not now."I walked into the house. It felt different already, though Emily had left only minutes ago. It felt too quiet.Lily ran to me, tears streaming down her face. "Daddy! Mama left me! She took Ethan but not me!"For the first time, I realized what Emily had said: Lily chose to stay. My daughter chose Vanessa and me over her own mother.I should have felt victorious.Instead, I felt weak."It's okay, princess. Mama will come back soon." I had to believe that.Vanessa hovered nearby, looking uncomfortable.
