Adopted into a wealthy family at a young age, Axelle always believed she had finally found the love and security she longed for. But behind the lavish dinners and polite smiles, dark secrets festered, and Axelle soon learned the hard way that blood may be thicker than water, but it can also be deadlier. When she catches her husband—the man she trusted with her heart—in bed with her sister, Axelle’s world shatters. Her heartbreak deepens as she realizes that this betrayal is only the tip of the iceberg. The family she sacrificed everything for has set her up to take the fall for their crimes, using her as a pawn in a game she never asked to play. But Axelle is no longer the naive girl who once craved acceptance. With nothing left to lose, she turns to the last person anyone would expect—her family's most dangerous enemy.

It has been two months after the accident, and Axelle hasn't said many words to anyone, mostly because she is in pain, and also dealing with the emotional trauma of having been almost killed by her ex-husband, someone she was on her way to help.
She hasn't said anything about that night, and I haven't asked. I want her to take her time to heal, but I think she is far from being healed… I don't think she will ever get healed.
Bandwidth and the Diablo family are currently on top of their game, making sure that things go according to their plan, and there is nothing I can do about it because the woman who should be fighting them isn't even talking to me.
I don't blame her though; imagine waking up to the news that the world thinks you are dead and that your funeral has already been held.
