The Weight of Innocence

Billionaires
5.0
She survived five years in prison for a murder she didn't commit. Now she'll dismantle the empire that put her there. Anastasia Ubud lost everything the night Marcus Chen died. Her tech company, her freedom, her future. Convicted by his powerful prosecutor mother and sent to prison while the truth stayed buried, she emerged broken but not defeated. Six months after release, Marcus's brother leaves her to die in a burning warehouse. Her unexpected savior? Billionaire Ethan Morrison, who sees what no one else does: her innocence. As Ethan's dying grandfather connects her with a wrongful conviction lawyer, the conspiracy unravels. Marcus wasn't just Anastasia's abuser. He was a serial predator with seven victims, all silenced by family money and corruption. And the night he died? Anastasia didn't kill him. She was unconscious when his jealous brother struck, then let her take the fall. Now, with explosive evidence and an army of survivors stepping forward, Anastasia fights not just for exoneration but for justice. But the Chen family's corruption runs deeper than one murder, and they'll destroy anyone who threatens their secrets. Caught between assassins, courtroom battles, and a slow-burn romance with the man who saved her life, Anastasia must decide: will she settle for freedom, or burn down the entire system that tried to bury her? From wrongful conviction to Nobel Peace Prize. From broken survivor to founder of a movement that frees hundreds. This is the story of a woman who refused to stay silent, and the empire of justice she built from the ashes of her shattered life. Some weights are meant to be carried. Others are meant to crush those who created them. A legal thriller romance about survival, systemic corruption, and the unstoppable force of a woman who transforms her trauma into a revolution.
