"Did you think I’d just let you go?" Suzanne’s grip on her son tightened as Charles took a slow step forward, his smirk curling like smoke in the air. "I sent you the damn divorce papers, Charles. Sign them and leave." He chuckled. "Oh, I got them." Another step. "But I don’t sign away what’s mine." She backed up. "I am not yours. I stopped being yours the night you betrayed me." His jaw clenched. The silence stretched—thick, suffocating—before he lunged. Suzanne barely had time to gasp before his hands were on her, ripping their son from her arms. The boy hit the couch with a soft thud and let out a startled cry. "You son of a—!" She shoved at him, clawing, struggling, but he was stronger. His hands dug into her waist, yanking her against him, his breath hot and reeking of alcohol. "You’re mine, Suzanne," he growled, fingers digging into her skin. "And if I can’t have you—" his grip tightened, his lips brushing her ear, "no one will." Then—CRACK! Charles gone—ripped off her, sent flying across the room. Suzanne gasped, chest heaving, scrambling back just as her attacker crashed into a table. A voice, dark and furious, sliced through the chaos. "Touch her again, and I’ll kill you." Her heart stopped. She knew that voice. Liam Carter. --- Trapped in a loveless marriage to a ruthless CEO, Suzanne Smith thought she had no way out—until Liam Carter, her high school sweetheart, walked back into her life. He’s everything her husband isn’t—kind, passionate, and willing to fight for her. But leaving Charles Langford won’t be easy. His Lies. Betrayal. Violence. Will she escape his grip, or will her past consume her? How far will she go for freedom?

Suzanne Smith sat quietly, her hands folded in her lap, her heart heavy with an all-too-familiar tension.Her mother-in-law, Beatrice Landford, perched at the head of the table like a queen, her hawk-like eyes scanning Suzanne with barely concealed disdain. Beatrice’s perfectly coiffed hair and pristine pearl necklace only added to her air of superiority.“And how long has it been now?” Beatrice’s voice cut through the air like a blade, her tone dripping with judgment. She didn’t bother to look directly at Suzanne, instead slicing into her roast lamb with clinical precision.Suzanne stiffened, her stomach churning. She knew exactly where this conversation was headed. “Three years,” she said softly, her voice steady despite the storm brewing inside her.“Three years,” Beatrice repeated, her lips curling into a smirk.

Under her thumb
Suzanne’s heart raced as she felt a wave of cold panic surge through her. Her body trembled, but her mind was in a haze. The weight of the situation pressed down on her like a suffocating blanket.Charles’s eyes locked onto hers, the malicious glint in them clear. He approached her with slow, deliberate steps, and Suzanne’s body instinctively recoiled, but she had nowhere to retreat. The bedframe pressed into her back, the coldness of the sheets beneath her offering no comfort."Do you think you can defy me?" he asked, his voice low, menacing. "You’ve forgotten your place, Suzanne. Let me remind you."She opened her mouth to speak, to fight back with whatever strength she had left, but her words caught in her throat. His hand was already at her back, pulling the fabric of her dress down, exposing her skin.“No, please,” she whispered, her voice cracking. The plea hung in the air, weak and desperate, but Charles didn’t listen. With a swift movement, he raised his belt, the leather cold

Silent struggles
Suzanne adjusted her black gown, carefully pulling it down to cover every inch of her bruised skin. The fabric hugged her form, but it felt like a suffocating reminder of her helplessness. She had made sure to wear long sleeves and a high neckline to hide the marks Charles had left, praying no one would notice. Her reflection in the mirror seemed distant, like she was looking at a woman she barely recognized anymore. Her face, though made up, still betrayed the exhaustion in her eyes. She could feel the weight of the day pressing down on her, the exhaustion from last night, the humiliation from this morning, and now the looming dread of the event."Get down here, Suzanne!" Beatrice's voice sliced through the air, demanding, harsh. Suzanne could already feel her mother-in-law's eyes boring into her, judging her every move.Suzanne grabbed her handbag, clutching it tightly as if it might give her the strength she so desperately needed. She hurried down the stairs, her mind racing. But as

Memories of the past
Suzanne Smith—no, Mrs. Langford—had once had it all. Wealth, status, a future laid out for her like a red carpet leading straight to an empire. Three years ago, she had walked away from all of it, convinced that love was worth more than power.She had been so sure. So certain that she didn’t need her father’s fortune, not as long as she had Charles. He was supposed to be her prince charming, the man who would love her, protect her, and prove her father wrong. She had imagined a beautiful life by his side, filled with laughter and stolen kisses, a home that felt safe in ways her cold, gilded upbringing never had.But fairytales were just that—stories. And hers had unraveled into a nightmare.The man she once adored had become a stranger, then a monster. Behind closed doors, Charles mocked her, belittled her, crushed her under the weight of his disdain. His words cut deeper than knives, sharp-edged insults that carved away at her self-worth until there was barely anything left of the gir

Unexpected encounter
The nurse turned toward Suzanne, noticing the abrupt shift in her demeanor. "Is everything alright, Mrs. Langford?" she asked, her voice soft.Suzanne blinked, startled, realizing she had been holding her breath. Now that it was back, it came in uneven, shallow gasps. "Dr. Carter..." she repeated, her voice trembling slightly as she fought to keep her composure. "He’s the one treating me?"The nurse nodded, oblivious to the turmoil brewing in Suzanne's chest. "Yes, that's right. He’s one of our top specialists. He should be here shortly." She smiled, too cheery for the moment, then added, "If you need anything in the meantime, just let me know."But Suzanne barely registered her words. Her mind was racing, spiraling through memories of a time long past—Liam's warm brown eyes, his infectious laugh, how he always seemed to know what she needed before she even said it. She had buried those memories, locked them away in a box she never wanted to open again. But now, with the mention of his

Strength of a child
The air in the room thickened the moment Beatrice Langford stepped inside.For a second, Suzanne saw the flicker of calculation in the older woman’s sharp eyes, the brief assessment of the situation before she adjusted her expression. In a matter of seconds, Beatrice’s usual cold exterior melted into a mask of exaggerated concern, her lips curving into a practiced smile as she stepped toward the bed."Suzanne, darling, you look pale," she cooed, reaching out to place a perfectly manicured hand on Suzanne’s arm. The touch was light, almost gentle—if Suzanne didn’t know better, she would have thought it sincere. But she did know better. "You should be resting, not exerting yourself with unnecessary stress."Suzanne barely blinked, her body stiff under the contact. She had long since learned to tolerate Beatrice’s little acts of performance, the way she played the doting mother-in-law when it suited her. This wasn’t concern—it was an interrogation masked as affection.Before Suzanne could

Shifting Alliance
As Beatrice was escorted out, Sarah and Charles stood in the hallway, the tension between them thickening.“You said you wouldn’t sleep with her, Charles,” Sarah hissed, her anger barely contained. “But here we are, with you making babies with her.”Charles's jaw tightened, frustration evident in his eyes. "It happened the day I came back drunk, Sarah. It meant nothing."Sarah’s face flushed with rage. “If you don’t fix this, Charles, I swear I’ll leave. I’m not going to keep playing these games.”She turned to walk away, but Charles grabbed her wrist, halting her. His grip was firm, and when he spoke again, his voice was low but commanding.“I found something about Suzanne,” he said, his words sharp.Her curiosity piqued, Sarah stopped, narrowing her eyes. “What do you mean, something about Suzanne?”Charles leaned in closer, his gaze cold. “She’s hiding a lot more than just her pregnancy."---The next day came faster than Suzanne expected. She was still trying to process everything

Masks and manipulation
The car rolled to a stop in the long, grand driveway. Suzanne stared out the window, her fingers tightening around the seatbelt as she took in the sight before her.A line of maids stood at attention, their faces glowing with excitement. The moment they spotted her, they erupted into cheerful shouts.“Welcome back, ma’am!”Her gaze darted to the house, now decorated with bright balloons and flowing ribbons—festive, almost surreal. The air smelled faintly of fresh roses, a scent she hadn’t associated with this place in years.She swallowed. Why does this feel so… off?“Is this real?” she murmured, half to herself.Beside her, Charles opened his mouth to answer, but another voice beat him to it."Of course, it’s real, dear."Beatrice.Suzanne turned to find her mother-in-law stepping forward, her expression the perfect blend of warmth and authority. She reached out, taking Suzanne’s hands in hers, her grip firm.“You deserve nothing less than the best.”Her voice was gentle—too gentle. T

Tangled loyalties
The restaurant exuded warmth, its dim lighting casting soft shadows against the dark wood furnishings. A gentle hum of conversation filled the air, accompanied by the distant melody of a piano. Everything felt intimate, almost surreal, as if Suzanne had stepped into a different world—one where Charles was still the man she had fallen in love with.She barely had time to process the way his hand lingered on the small of her back before he pulled out a chair for her. She hesitated for just a second, but then she let herself sink into the plush seat. It was easy to pretend tonight. Easy to believe in this version of him.As he settled across from her, a slow grin curved his lips. “Do you remember that theme park trip?” he asked, his voice laced with nostalgia. “You swore you’d never get on that rollercoaster. But I tricked you into it anyway.”Suzanne let out a surprised laugh, shaking her head. “You didn’t trick me. You manipulated me.” She pointed at him accusingly, but her eyes gleamed

Shattered trust
Charles's grip on Suzanne’s waist tightened, dragging her toward the car. She winced, trying to pull away, but his hand was like iron, unyielding. “You’re hurting me, Charles!” she protested, her voice shaking, but he didn’t even look at her. His eyes blazed with rage, and his grip didn’t soften, forcing her to stumble along beside him.He shoved her into the car with such force the door slammed behind her, and without a word, he jumped into the driver's seat. The engine roared to life, and the car shot forward, the tension inside suffocating. Suzanne sat stiffly, her heart hammering in her chest. What was happening? Where was this going?They arrived at the mansion, and without even giving her a moment to breathe, Charles was out of the car. He yanked her wrist again, dragging her toward the house. Suzanne tried to pull back, her voice a whisper now, “Charles, please…” but he didn’t hear her. He dragged her inside, ignoring the startled looks of his mother and sister, who were deep i
