“You can’t even keep a baby alive. What use are you?” my husband spat as I lay bleeding on the hospital bed from a partial miscarriage.

Ten years later, blacklisted by the industry and drowning in debt, he was desperately interviewing for a chauffeur position at the heavily guarded estate of the city’s most ruthless billionaire. When the massive wrought-iron gates opened, his jaw hit the floor. There I stood, draped in custom diamonds, as the billionaire tenderly wrapped his arm around my waist, and my brilliant ten-year-old twins ran up to him shouting, “Daddy!”

I took my disabled son to a 5-star restaurant, dreading the pitying stares. A waitress approached, completely ignoring my billions. I tensed up, expecting her to ask us to move. Instead, she bowed to my son and whispered, “would you like to lead me in a dance from your chair?” The music stopped. I was ready to defend him, but what she did next made me crumble in tears..

“Mom, please don’t bring the baby home,” my 9-year-old daughter whispered, refusing to look at her newborn brother. I was lying in the maternity ward, exhausted after giving birth. She was clutching the brand-new iPad her father had bought her yesterday. “Vale, what’s wrong?” I asked. She didn’t cry. She unlocked the screen and pressed ‘play’.

My husband locked me in the basement to die. His mistress brutally drove her stiletto into my bleeding hand. “How does it feel to be punished?” she smiled. I didn’t scream or beg. “Your loyal servant was caught upstairs with that ugly green pendant,” she sneered, holding it up. “You have no one left. You’re finished.” She thought she had won. I just smiled, my blood turning to ice. Because the time to send them both to hell had finally arrived.
They thought I was finished when they locked me in the basement. My husband, Alexander Carden—Alex, as he liked to…
