Chapter 1

When my husband Lucas Graham was kidnapped by a gang, they demanded that I come to exchange places with him. For the sake of our son and the company, I didn't hesitate to take Lucas's place, enduring cruel torture in the den of criminals.

"I'll take good care of our son, and don't worry about the ransom. I'll find a way to raise the money," I told him before I left.

But a whole year passed, and Lucas seemed to have vanished into thin air, never showing up to rescue me.

When I finally managed to escape, I discovered that he was in the middle of a wedding ceremony with his childhood friend, Chloe. Our parents and in-laws were there, offering their warm congratulations.

Among the crowd, I spotted Jack "The Blade" Thompson, the gang leader who had tortured me for a year, raising a glass and drinking merrily.

And my precious son, Leo, had been turned into a servant, his expression blank as he served tea and water to the guests, constantly kneeling and begging for forgiveness at the slightest provocation.

Swallowing my bitterness, I turned and called the person who had saved me:

"If you can help me rescue my son, I promise to help you bring down Graham Enterprises!"
