The gilded handcuffs

"I bought you, Elara. Don't forget who owns the air you breathe."
To the world, it was the wedding of the century. To Elara, it was a funeral for her freedom.
Silas Vane is ruthless, calculated, and breathtakingly handsome. He's also the man who destroyed Elara's family just so he could rebuild them in his image. He didn't marry her for love, and he certainly didn't marry her for companionship. He married her to settle a score.
But Elara Vance isn't a girl who breaks easily. If Silas wants a war, she'll give him one. Behind the closed doors of the Vane Estate, a dangerous game of cat and mouse begins. In a house built on secrets and forced vows, who will be the first to break?
