"Write to your father." "Why?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "I'm divorcing you. Write him to take you away tomorrow." Her world shattered. "What? No... please, I beg you!" In a world where marriage is duty and power, she was a pawn-a plain, timid wife bound to a cruel nobleman who never wanted her. But when humiliation becomes her daily burden and love feels like a distant dream, how far can she go to survive the crushing weight of his cruelty? He controls her fate. She clings to hope. But in his world, mercy is a foreign concept.
