Intro They called him powerful. They called him brilliant. But only she knew the truth. Elena stood at the top of the staircase in the mansion she once thought was a dream. Her wedding ring—a symbol of love, now a shackle—glinted under the chandelier's cold light. Down below, Damian Voss, her husband, barked orders into his phone like a king commanding soldiers. To the world, Damian was a respected businessman. Ruthless, calculating, a man who got what he wanted without ever raising his voice—because he didn’t need to. His presence was enough.

But the scars he left ran deeper than bruises.
