Betrayed by Love, Forged by Billions

I'm Ava Hayes, an artist from New York, thrust into the billionaire Ashworth family after miraculously discovering I'm the late tech mogul Michael Hayes's biological daughter.

I craved belonging, but my adoptive sister, Chloe, greeted me with a cruel "nine strikes" game, systematically dismantling my life and all I held dear.

Then came Ethan, a charming musician, who swept me off my feet, seeming to offer genuine love and acceptance.

Chloe's final strike was offering Ethan a million dollars to abandon me publicly at a gala.
