My name is\u00a0<\/span>Elena<\/span><\/strong>. At thirty-four, I have spent a decade as a Senior Interior Designer, curating the lives of Manhattan\u2019s elite. I know how to balance a room, how to hide a structural flaw behind a custom silk wall-covering, and how to make a space look perfect even when the foundation is rotting. My husband,\u00a0<\/span>Liam<\/span><\/strong>, was a Senior Partner at a prestigious corporate law firm\u2014a man who billed by the minute and lied by the hour. We were the \u201cIt Couple.\u201d We lived in a stunning\u00a0<\/span>Colonial Revival<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0on two acres of prime real estate, driving a white\u00a0<\/span>Mercedes G-Wagon<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0that signaled our ascent to anyone watching.<\/span><\/p>\n
