“Elliana and her six-year-old daughter Clara were trapped in a horrific, bloody car crash. A private medical helicopter bearing her husband's family crest touched down on the wet asphalt, but the paramedics ran straight past her crushed SUV. They rushed to the sleek sports car that had rear-ended them. Sitting inside were her husband Devontae's mistress and her daughter, suffering from nothing more than a minor scratch and a panic attack. Trapped under twisted metal, Elliana dialed her husband's number with bloody fingers, begging him to save their dying child. "Stop being so dramatic, Elliana," Devontae snapped impatiently over the phone. "I am sick of you using Clara to play the victim. Kyle needs to get to the hospital immediately." He hung up, and the helicopter lifted off into the night sky, leaving Elliana and Clara in the absolute dark. Elliana watched her daughter's tiny hand drop lifelessly. In absolute despair and suffocating hatred, she dropped a lighter into the pooled gasoline, letting a wall of fire consume them both. As the flames blistered her skin, she felt a profound, agonizing injustice. She had hidden her brilliant talents and played the submissive, perfect wife just to protect his fragile ego, but her endless sacrifices had only bought them a fiery grave. Why did her devotion end with her child bleeding to death in the cold rain while the mistress flew away to safety? Opening her eyes, Elliana violently gasped for air in her massive velvet bed. She stared at the glowing date on her phone screen. It was exactly six months before the crash. The phantom pain in her crushed legs reminded her of the hell she had just crawled back from. She got out of bed, her eyes as cold and sharp as broken glass. This time, she would send them all to hell first.”
