Kung ang iba ay ikinasal dahil sa pagmamahal, si Adaghlia Perez naman ay ikinasal upang magbayad ng utang. Katumbas ng limang taong pagbaba ng sentensya ng kanyang ina ay limang taong pagdurusa sa piling ng abogadong si Grayson Chandler. Kaliwa't kanang kasinungalingan at panloloko ang nararanasan niya araw-araw. Para bang iiyak ang araw kung hindi siya nito nasasaktan. Hindi lang siya harap-harapang pinagtaksilan ng lalaki, kung maka-deny pa ay sobrang kapal ng mukha nito kahit mahuli pa sa akto. Hindi asawa ang turing nito sa kanya kundi isang alipin. Alam niyang walang babaeng dapat makaranas ng ganito pero wala siyang ibang magagawa. Bukod sa may utang na loob siya dito, hindi maipagkakailang mahal na mahal niya ito. Hanggang sa dumating na ang araw na pinakahinihintay. Handa na siyang iwan ang lahat at ayusin ang sarili. Pero isang bagay ang kumurot sa kanyang puso nang malamang nagbunga ang kanyang pagiging parausan ng isang taong hindi naman siya mahal. Isang gabi pagkatapos pirmahan ang divorce papers, bigla siyang nakatanggap ng tawag ng isang taong lasing, “Don't sign the papers. I didn't sign it.” Itutuloy pa kaya ni Adaghlia ang pag-alis? O hahayaan na naman niya ang sariling maging alipin ulit ng pag-ibig?

“You are under arrest, Sienna Hopper for the murder of Jace Wright!” . . . “You said you were angry and went to his house with a bat, did you not? You trashed his apartment. Everything but him? And from the picture we received, his nose was broken. Now you said you didn’t touch him but you broke his nose. Do you mind explaining that to us?” My interrogator quirked a brow at me, the all-knowing look on his face and it said one word, culprit. Fuck that looked bad. It was bad. “I want a lawyer,” I instantly said. ***** Sienna is a rash and impulsive girl but beneath the tough girl act is a heartbroken and abused girl.

Two things Sienna has vowed in life never to be, a wife and a mother. But desperate time calls for desperate measures, isn’t that right, it’s just a marriage, and a child.

Deceived by Him By Lorena Daniela Synopsis: She was trained to see through lies. But what happens when the truth is more dangerous than the lie?

Sienna knows she should keep her distance, but something about him draws her closer, against every instinct she’s ever trusted. As the case unfolds, Sienna finds herself caught in a deadly web of deception where everyone has something to hide—including Dominic. The deeper she digs, the more she risks becoming not just a lawyer fighting for truth, but a woman fighting for her life—and her heart.
