Introduction

For ten years, I put my ambitious architecture career on hold for my husband Mark, playing the dutiful wife and mother.

Finally, with our son older and Mark's company stable, I returned to my dream, leading a monumental project, the Henderson building.

But a fabricated crisis, orchestrated by Mark and his high school sweetheart Sarah, derailed everything; they framed me for corporate espionage and had me arrested, landing me in jail.

Alone in a stark cell, Mark offered me a cruel deal: give up my son, my home, and all our assets, or face years in prison.

They thought they' d broken me, but signing those papers was just the first step in reclaiming my life and making them pay.
