Obsession Series 2 Ellen Bautista, wife of Hades Maniac. The words tasted like ash in her mouth. One month married, thirty days a prisoner. Bruises bloomed on her skin, a roadmap of his rage. He took her body, not with love, but with a brutal hunger that left her feeling hollow. Respect? A forgotten word. Her opinions were worthless, her dreams mocked. He controlled her, dictating her clothes, her friends, her very breath. Love was a cruel joke, a phantom limb she still felt aching.

But a tiny spark flickered within her, a refusal to be extinguished. Was this truly her fate? Or could she, somehow, find a way to break free?
