“Cailin was just a struggling temp worker trying to survive, until a simple delivery to a hotel suite turned into a nightmare. Inside the dark room, she was brutally attacked by Graham Shepherd, a ruthless billionaire in a drugged frenzy. He suffered from a severe phobia of human touch, but to his dark obsession, Cailin was the only woman his body didn't reject. To secure a healthy heir, Graham's powerful grandfather targeted Cailin. He paid off her greedy foster family with ten million dollars to legally buy her. "Marrying into the Shepherd family is an honor! It's time you paid us back!" her foster father sneered. Cailin was kidnapped and locked inside a massive estate. She was forced to sign a marriage certificate with the very monster who had assaulted her. Desperate, she offered Graham a cold contract to give him an heir in exchange for a secret divorce, but her desire to leave only enraged his possessive madness. When he tried to force himself on her again, she screamed for the servants to stop him. "Lock this door. No one brings her any food or water," Graham commanded coldly. Cailin was starved in the dark room for days, her body withering away. She was filled with despair and hatred. Why did she have to be the sacrificial lamb for this billionaire's sickness? Why did the family she trusted sell her out to a monster? Dragged down to the dining room, weak and starving, Graham forcefully held a piece of meat to her lips. "Eat." But as Cailin looked at the cruel men who had ruined her life, she turned her head away, her eyes burning with a silent vow to survive and escape this gilded hell.”
