Clipped Wings, Unbroken Soul

I stood in the visa center and learned that my five-year marriage was fake.

Ethan Laurent loved me more than anything. Or so I thought. Turns out, three years ago he married Mara, the woman who crippled my right hand, just so he could use fake documents to keep me caged forever.

He orchestrated the car accident that shattered my world, then knelt by my bed kissing my scars, saying "my life is yours."

I bit back my disgust and pretended to love him deeply, all while secretly planning my escape.
