For three years, I have been trapped in a bond that was never meant for me. A wife in name only, a ghost in my own home. When I told him I was pregnant, I thought it would change something—maybe even everything. But Matthias’s golden eyes burned with something far worse than hatred. He called me a liar. A deceiver.

The one thing standing in the way of our divorce… and my freedom.
