Shattered Vows: The Broken Wife's Comeback

“Helena was trapped in a contracted marriage with billionaire Gaston Vaughn. To his family, she was just a low-class tool meant to produce an heir. When a crazed attacker lunged at Gaston, Helena instinctively threw herself in front of the knife. But while she lay bleeding in the ICU, news broke that Gaston was at an OB-GYN clinic with a famous actress, who was reportedly pregnant with his child. To suppress the scandal, Gaston's grandmother threatened to destroy Helena's childhood orphanage unless she staged a romantic night at a luxury hotel. "You will be there, and you will be convincing." Delirious with a severe fever, Helena was left in a pitch-black suite, where a man finally came and slept with her. She thought her husband had finally shown her mercy. But the next morning, she woke up alone, finding a stranger's platinum cufflink on the nightstand. Then came a photo: Gaston was at the airport, tightly embracing his first love at the exact same time Helena was in that hotel bed. He hadn't just abandoned her. He had sent a proxy to defile her, fulfilling the family's breeding mandate so he could be free for his true love. The monstrous cruelty shattered her completely, causing her to cough up blood and collapse. Waking up in a secure hospital ward, the naive girl who had loved Gaston for fifteen years finally died. Her eyes turned to ice as she made a silent vow to disappear, survive, and tear the Vaughn dynasty to the ground.”
