“After three hellish years in a psychiatric facility, Kyra was finally released. She just wanted a quiet life, but her billionaire ex-husband, Julius-the very man who had locked her away-refused to let her go. When she rejected his demand to return to his side, the retaliation was swift and suffocating. His new fiancée faked an injury to frame Kyra, instantly making her the target of a vicious national cyberbullying campaign. Fired from every job and treated like a damaged asset by her own parents, Kyra was forced to scrub plates in a greasy diner just to survive. But even there, the fiancée's brother tracked her down, publicly tearing her clothes and attempting to drag her away. Julius suddenly appeared to "save" her, but his method was chilling: he orchestrated a brutal accident that shattered the brother's leg forever. He then tossed Kyra a keycard to a high-security luxury apartment, calmly stating it was for her own safety. Kyra stared at him in pure, primal terror. He had destroyed her reputation, disposed of her dead mother's only photograph, and violently crushed anyone who dared to help her. How could he call this sick, monstrous obsession "protection"? "I don't need it!" she screamed, shoving the car door open and fleeing into the dark. She had thought she was escaping a cage, but now she knew she had to fight her way out of a nightmare.”
