Instead, she found herself trapped in a marriage that became a prison. Behind closed doors, her husband shattered her spirit with years of physical violence, sexual abuse, and relentless control. Things took a turn when she found out about her pregnancy and the only thing she ever wanted was to never let her husband's shadow touch her child.
