For ten years, my husband Adrian used our marriage as a shield, letting me absorb the magical backlash of his ambitions. But when I discovered he secretly funneled his family's curse into the town's public well, forcing innocent people to bear his burdens, everything shattered. To buy my silence, he froze my bank accounts and locked me out of our home. I refuse to be his safety net any longer. I will stop protecting him, reclaim the magic I sacrificed, and tear down our vows.
