They said blood is thicker than water, but in the world of the elite, money outweighs everything.
For twelve years, Isabella lived in an orphanage, forgotten by the father who traded her for a business empire. When a golden invitation finally arrives, summoning her back to the family mansion for a party, Isabella dares to hope for a second chance at a family.
But the mansion isn't a home. It's a cage.
As the fireworks light up the night sky, a horrific betrayal by the people she trusted most shatters her world. When she turns to her father for justice, she learns the hardest lesson of all: in this house, silence is bought, and victims are blamed.
Broken, humiliated, and alone, Isabella has two choices: disappear into the shadows, or burn their perfect world to the ground.
