“Ava was forced to marry the ruthless billionaire who destroyed her family, becoming his traumatized, mute wife to settle a corporate debt. After three years of silent endurance, she watched on live television as her husband attended a high-profile gala with their son's new tutor on his arm. While he flaunted his affair to the world, her mother-in-law threw a divorce agreement in Ava's face. "Take the money and get out. Full custody of Leo goes to Julian. No one gives a child to a broken mute." The family threatened to destroy her in the press as an unfit mother if she refused to sign. That night, her husband came home reeking of the tutor's perfume and forced himself on her in the dark. When he discovered she had secretly torn up their marriage certificate, he grabbed her jaw and laughed. "You belong to me. You are my property. You will never, ever be free of me." She had lost her parents, her voice, and her freedom to this family's relentless cruelty. Why did they have to push her to the absolute edge and try to steal the only child she could ever have? Looking at the shattered glass of the mirror she just smashed at his feet, the docile wife he thought he owned finally died. She wouldn't just walk away; she was going to burn their entire empire to the ground.”
