In the haunting darkness of night,Dorothy Fisher's world is shaken to its core.As she lies vulnerable in the guest room,a place that should offer solace,she finds herself at the mercy of her husband,Credence Scott,a man who returns only in his drunken stupor to remind her of their twisted union.With every act of cold violence,Dorothy's spirit wavers,yet a glimmer of defiance begins to ignite within her.

Four years of marriage have left Dorothy battered and broken,but never has she felt more alive than when she stands up to the man who sees her as nothing more than a means to an end."I'm your legal wife,not a woman whom you can pay to do whatever you want with!"she declares,her voice trembling with anger and resolve.

But when an unexpected pregnancy brings a mix of joy and dread,Dorothy wonders if this could be the turning point—the chance for redemption or the final straw that will break her will.Will Credence see past his hatred and recognize the potential for love that lies within their unborn child?

As Dorothy clutches the pregnancy test report,her heart races with fear and anticipation.In the sterile corridors of the hospital,she comes face to face with Credence,his eyes filled with hostility.What will happen when the truth comes to light?Can love blossom from the ashes of abuse,or will their relationship crumble under the weight of their past?
