Even in Darkness, She Chose to Rise
Threat after freedom
Fresh out of a four-year nightmare, Tatiana Steele is warned by the doctor who treated her. His fake kindness vanishes the moment the call with Mr. Jackson ends; his glare says she’s still a prisoner in every sense. He reminds her that one wrong word could send her straight back to the reformatory she barely survived. Terrified and tongueless from mutilation, she promises silence—because she knows he can keep that threat.The arrival of Jasper Jackson
A black Cullinan glides up, and the window lowers to reveal Jasper—her legal husband, once her obsession, now a stranger carved from ice. His single command, “Get in,” pierces the air. The man she chased for ten years looks more godlike and cruel than ever, and she can only whisper, “Mr. Jackson.” The distance between them feels colder than death.A broken body and a colder heart
Limping toward the car, Tatiana’s damaged foot drags—an old injury from the last time she tried to escape. Jasper mistakes her pain for manipulation and mocks her weakness. His words cut deeper than the limp itself. When she collapses in panic, begging not to be sent back, he’s momentarily stunned: the proud woman who once defied the world is now begging for mercy.Haunted by Somerton
The memory of being shoved into a car just like this floods back—then, it was the ride to Somerton Reformatory, the place that stole her sanity. Cold sweat breaks out as she shakes, whispering that she’ll die if she goes back. Jasper, unmoved, snaps that it’s not a request. Her plea vanishes into the engine’s roar.Trauma inside the car
Curled in the corner of the seat, she trembles uncontrollably. When Jasper frowns, she breaks, apologizing, scrubbing an invisible stain with bleeding fingers. Her panic spirals: “Don’t hit me… I’ll clean it… I’m not dirty…” The sight horrifies even Jasper; for the first time, he sees the depth of her damage.The ruined hands of a prodigy
Dragging her out of the car, Jasper grabs her hand—and freezes. The elegant fingers once praised as a gift from God for her violin mastery are now nail-less, cracked, and swollen. He asks what happened. She lies weakly that her nails “rotted and fell off.” Something soft flickers in his chest, but he buries it beneath contempt, convincing himself it’s just another act.Return to the Lowell mansion
The car pulls into the Lowell villa, laughter spilling out from within. Every voice inside belongs to the family that once called her “daughter.” She already knows why she’s been fetched: not reconciliation—divorce. Her heart feels like ash.The stolen identity
The scene inside is a cruel mirror of her lost life. She was once Tatiana Lowell, loved and cherished, until a DNA test exposed the baby-swap done by her real mother, the jealous housekeeper. Cast out, renamed Steele, she was sent to parents who tried to sell her into prostitution. Desperate, she returned to the Lowells—only to be betrayed again.Bianca’s mask drops
Bianca Lowell, the real daughter, greets her with sugary affection before whispering poison: “How come you didn’t die in there?” She taunts Tatiana’s ruined hands and crippled leg, proudly confessing she ordered the tortures. Every horror of the past four years—every scream—was Bianca’s doing. Tatiana’s world tilts; rage and pain detonate inside her.Explosion and blood
With a scream, Tatiana shoves Bianca and grips her throat. “It was you!” she shrieks, the truth finally burning through the fear. The room erupts; the Lowell parents rush in, Jasper’s shadow looms, and a violent blow sends Tatiana crashing into a table. Blood gushes down her face as consciousness slips away to the echo of her own words—proof that even after years of silence, she can still fight back.
