Love Died, Power Lived

Synopsis

Cynthia Turner, the top criminal defense lawyer in Hithebig, never imagined she'd be literally crushed under her husband's heel, so he'd force her to defend the person who hurt her own sister. Alexander Schultz, Cynthia's husband, the prince of Hithebig who controlled everything, pressed his designer shoe down hard on Cynthia's shoulder. His voice was harsh as he asked, "Cynthia, I'm asking you one more time. How's your consideration coming along on pleading not guilty for Evelyn?" A week ago, Cynthia's sister, Luella Turner, got into an argument with Evelyn Cole at a bar. That night, Luella disappeared, and the next day, she was found naked and battered in a dumpster, her body covered in bruises. After she was rushed to the hospital, they learned she'd been assaulted by several men and was barely clinging to life. Cynthia swore she'd hunt down whoever did this. She pulled every string she could. The truth was that all the evidence, witnesses, and physical proof pointed straight at Evelyn.
