The day began like any other. I, Ava Hayes, lived a fairytale life, the ballerina wife to tech mogul Mark Thompson. Our world, seemingly perfect, was a carefully constructed illusion. Then, a car accident stole my sight, plunging me into a suffocating darkness. Mark became my devoted shadow, my "eyes," his absolute love a fortress against my fear. But six weeks later, my sight miraculously returned in the dead of night. And through the sliver of moonlight, I saw my "devoted" husband whispering "I love you" to my stepsister, Chloe. The air rushed out of my lungs, the joy of recovered sight replaced by world-shattering pain. My perfect husband, my devoted protector, the man who' d promised to shield me from every shadow, was building a future with someone else. He thought I was blind, helpless, and broken. They were both counting on it. A cold, hard decision formed in the wreckage of my heart. If he wanted me blind, then blind I would be. I lay back down, pulling the covers up, my body still, my eyes wide open, now truly seeing everything for the first time. My plan began to take shape, turning assumed weakness into my greatest weapon.
