For five years, I was Senator Ethan Scott' s dirty little secret, a songbird locked in his penthouse overlooking the Capitol. My gilded cage shattered the Tuesday his engagement to Sylvia Chavez broke on the news – a political merger, solidifying two powerful dynasties. The next day, Sylvia' s team swept in, professional erasers, dismissing staff and purging assets, and I knew I was next on their list. A week later, the doctor arrived, claiming it was a vitamin shot to protect my voice. I knew it was anything but, and the next morning, no sound came out; my voice, the one thing Ethan cherished about me, was gone. He assumed my silence was an act of defiance, a petty rebellion of a jilted lover. He didn't know that my silence was a weapon, and this entire charade was just the first step in a revenge plan five years in the making. He didn't know I wasn't just Maria Fuller, his disposable mistress, but David Fuller' s daughter, meticulously collecting every piece of his carefully hidden corruption. He was about to learn that some ghosts don' t stay buried, and a politician' s secrets can bring down an empire.
