CHAPTER 1: THE PERFECT PARTY
The chandeliers sparkled like diamonds above the grand ballroom, casting golden light across silk gowns and polished marble floors. Laughter and music filled the air—this was a night of luxury, power, and perfection.
Victoria Hale stood at the center of it all, stunning in her green dress, admired by everyone around her. She had everything—wealth, status, control.
Across the room, a young maid quietly carried a tray of champagne glasses, careful not to draw attention. Her eyes stayed low, her movements cautious.

Champagne spilled across Victoria’s dress.
The room went silent.
Victoria’s face hardened instantly. Without hesitation, she raised her hand—and slapped the maid.
The sharp crack echoed.
