They say love is blind. For Seraphina, it was a death sentence.

For six years, Seraphina believed in Marco Rossi's love, even when it cost her everything. The first betrayal broke her heart. The second cost her their unborn child. But the third... the third would shatter her soul.

When Marco's mistress needs a kidney, he doesn't ask—he demands. And to force Seraphina's consent, he devises a twisted ultimatum: her organ, or her ailing mother's life. Bound and helpless, Seraphina can only watch as her mother's car plunges into the icy depths of the lake.

But that was only the beginning of the nightmare.

Broken, bereaved, and brutally violated, Seraphina is left with nothing but ashes and a burning rage. The innocent woman she once was died alongside her mother in that lake. What emerges is someone new—someone cold, cunning, and utterly ruthless.

From the depths of despair, a vow is forged in steel: She will make him pay.

The video shifts, and suddenly I'm not watching our wedding anymore. I'm watching myself.


The screen shows me dragging Seraphina across our bedroom floor by her hair, her screams echoing through the speakers. I watch myself slam her against the wall, my face twisted with rage as I scream about her "disrespect."


My stomach lurches. I remember that night. I told myself she deserved it. That I was teaching her a lesson.


The video cuts to another scene. Me forcing Seraphina to kneel on broken glass while I berate her for burning dinner. Blood seeps through her dress as she apologizes over and over, tears streaming down her face.


"Turn it off," I whisper, but my finger won't move to the mouse.


Another cut. This time I'm holding a gun to her mother's head while the old woman begs for mercy. Seraphina is on her knees beside the hospital bed, pleading with me to spare her mother's life.
