Victoria Modern

“Anissa is the perfect, lifeless wife of powerful D.C. politician Julian Sinclair. She endures this suffocating marriage solely to protect the vital funding for her Navajo tribe. But after sneaking out for a brief moment of freedom, she returns to find herself viciously framed. Julian's favorite mistress, Cecily, faked a severe allergic reaction and accused Anissa of poisoning her dessert. Julian violently grabs Anissa's arm, his eyes burning with cold fury. "I will trigger the punitive clauses in our prenuptial agreement." That single threat would instantly cut off her people's survival money. To bury the PR scandal, the family matriarch forces Anissa to swallow her pride. Under the mocking eyes of the household staff, Anissa is forced to fall to her knees beside the mistress's lounge, presenting a massive Cartier diamond bracelet to beg for forgiveness. "Please forgive me for the kitchen mix-up. I am so sorry." A camera flash captures her ultimate humiliation, yet Julian still glares at her defeated posture with inexplicable disgust. Anissa's heart burns with deep, suffocating rage. Why must she be a prisoner to this cruel family? And who was the deadly man she met in the alley tonight? The stranger who effortlessly overpowered her bodyguard and spoke of Arizona sandstorms, triggering blinding flashes of a past she can't remember. Grinding her teeth as she walks away from the suite, Anissa makes a silent vow. She will call that mysterious man, uncover her stolen memories, and tear this gilded cage apart.”
