Betrayed by Love, Forged by Fire

Just a month ago, my life was a Silicon Valley dream.

I was Sarah Miller, founder of a promising startup, engaged to David Chen, the golden boy of tech.

We were the power couple, the ones to watch, building an empire on the back of my groundbreaking algorithm.

Then, the engine sputtered and died, and my world shrank to the stale confines of my car.

The engagement was off, my company was bankrupt, my savings gone, swallowed by legal fees and debt David so cleverly left in my name.

He called it "irreconcilable differences," a corporate phrase for a soul-crushing betrayal.
