“Amelie Beaumont was in the agonizing throes of labor, desperately calling out for her husband. But Jonas didn't come to hold her hand. He kicked the delivery room door open, enraged by forged photos of her "infidelity" provided by her cousin Corie. "Whose bastard is it?" Before the stunned medical staff, he divorced her on the spot and froze her family's assets. When Amelie woke up, her stomach was flat and her baby was gone. Corie smiled and told her Jonas had the "unclean" newborn thrown to the wild dogs. Because of Jonas's ruthless retaliation, Amelie's family was bankrupted and her mother died of a massive heart attack. When Amelie later caught Corie trying to assassinate Jonas's comatose mother, Corie stabbed her own shoulder and framed Amelie for the crime. Jonas didn't hesitate to believe the lies, slapping Amelie to the floor before sending her to a hellish maximum-security prison. Tortured and starved by inmates, Amelie slit her wrist in her dark cell, completely shattered by the injustice. She couldn't understand how the man she loved could be so blind, trusting a venomous snake over the wife who bled for him. But Jonas dragged her back from death via a video call, threatening to cripple her surviving father and brother if she dared to escape his punishment through death. Staring at her stitched wrist in the prison infirmary, the dead emptiness in Amelie's eyes ignited into a cold, black flame. She would survive this hell, and she would make them pay in blood.”
