The night before our engagement, my boyfriend, the disciplined, by-the-book attorney who also happened to be my mentor, snapped and pinned me against his desk, all control gone. The next day, a video of us together in that moment was suddenly broadcast on the courtroom screens in front of everyone. I lost my law license on the spot. In an instant, I became the most hated woman on the internet. My father rushed forward and slapped him across the face, but he was kicked down the steps without hesitation. "When you framed my brother and sent him to death row, did it ever cross your mind that your perfect little daughter would end up like this? "You traded my brother's life for your career. I'm just using your daughter's reputation to settle the score." My father suffered a fatal heart attack on the spot. My mother, unable to bear it, took her own life shortly after. To repay the massive debt he engineered and left behind, I ended up at the very bottom of an underground club, serving drinks and being pushed around by men who saw me as nothing more than entertainment. Four years later, I was in a private room, forced down onto a glass table by a group of older men, made to drink until I could barely stay conscious. At the head of it all sat him, someone with absolute power.
