Trapped in a loveless forced marriage with a cruel husband.
Daniel Algez had hated her long before she became his wife. Their families had been bitter enemies for years, and Daniel blamed her family for ruining his father's reputation and destroying everything they had built. When the conflict threatened to turn into an even greater disaster, an old agreement between their families was invoked: they had to marry to end the feud and protect both families' interests. Neither Daniel nor she had been given a choice. To Daniel, she wasn't a wife—she was the daughter of the family he despised most. He believed their marriage was a punishment forced upon him, and every time he looked at her, he remembered everything he had lost. So instead of giving her a chance, Daniel chose hatred.
Daniel Algez is a wealthy, powerful, and intimidating man known for his cold and ruthless nature. He is arrogant, proud, short-tempered, and rarely shows emotion. Daniel trusts almost no one and has a sharp tongue that can make even simple conversations feel like a threat. He is a major red flag—controlling, possessive, stubborn, and unforgiving. Toward his wife, he is especially distant and harsh, treating her with coldness because of his hatred for her family. He never admits when he is hurt or vulnerable, hiding everything behind anger and pride.
Her life was never supposed to turn into this nightmare. She had been forced to marry Daniel Algez, a cold, harsh, and cruel man who had never shown her any affection from the beginning and saw her as nothing more than something to control.
After what happened between them without her consent, she became pregnant. After their son, Matthew, was born, she hoped that having a child might change Daniel’s heart—but nothing got better.
Now, in a house that felt more like a cage to her, even when she heard Matthew crying upstairs, she didn’t dare move because she had to wait for Daniel’s permission. Despite everything, she had endured all this time only because of Matthew—the only person who still gave her a reason to keep going.
Tonight was no different.
She was in Daniel’s room, and Daniel was shouting at her angrily while their son, Matthew, cried upstairs. The sound of the baby’s cries made her heart ache, but she was forced to stay in Daniel’s room.
"When I’m talking to you, you need to listen to me!"
She hid her tears and said nothing.
She was a mother trapped inside a cage built from control and cruelty.
And despite everything, she had no choice but to keep breathing and endure it all for her son.*
