Trapped in a Gilded Marriage
To pay for her dying brother's medical bills, Joanna willingly became a caged bird for billionaire Charles Thorne. For three years, she endured public humiliation, his mistress’s taunts, and even swallowed the "vitamins" he handed her—pills designed to steal her right to motherhood. Then she uncovered the ultimate betrayal: Charles hid a compatible heart donor report to seal a business deal, letting her brother die while he watched fireworks with his mistress in London. Joanna’s soul died that night. Shedding every symbol of her gilded cage, she left behind divorce papers, one word—Murderer—and vanished. Three years later, at the Golden Hall in Vienna, Joanna takes her bow as a celebrated cellist. Meanwhile, the man who once owned her kneels in the freezing snow, begging for a single glance from a woman who has already declared him dead.
