Paid in Tears

"Your father's debt is settled, Clara. But I am going to make sure every single day you spend under my roof is a living hell."
Sold. That was what Clara Vance was. Sold to Arthur Sterling-a powerful, ruthless man who blamed her family for his past ruin. He married her to break her, vowing to extract his thirty-million-dollar revenge in psychological cruelty.
Clara braced herself for the cage. She expected the coldness, the isolation, and the dark night he crossed a line that could never be undone. What she didn't expect was the devastating tragedy that followed, costing them a secret they never knew they shared.
When a broken Clara walks away to start a new life, the monster realizes he has lost his soul. But how do you save a marriage built on a sin?
You get on your knees. And you beg.
✨ Heavy angst, intense groveling, a dominant hero brought to his knees, and a happily ever after with twins.
