Three years of marriage, and Anessa was nothing more than a shadow in her husband, Alaric Williams’ life. A perfect wife in public, but discarded behind closed doors. When she wakes up in a stranger’s bed, framed, humiliated, and cast aside, she realizes the cruel truth, Anessa was never meant to be his partner, only his pawn. Betrayed, pregnant, and left for dead by the man she once loved and the woman who envied her, Anessa loses everything including the child she never got to hold. But fate isn’t done with her yet. Rescued by Zachary Rome, a powerful billionaire with his own scars, Anessa is given a choice, fade or rise from the ashes and take back what was stolen from her. She chooses the latter. Now, Anessa is no longer the abandoned wife and all those who scorned her and begging to accept them back.
