Freedom from Gaspard's house doesn't mean I'm out from under from his control. Even as I try to build a new life with Antosha, my tormentor finds new ways to manipulate the system and drag me back into his web.

The courtroom becomes our new battleground, where legal documents replace physical chains but the stakes remain devastatingly high. While Antosha's love gives me strength I never knew I possessed, Gaspard refuses to accept that I'm no longer his to command.

As our final confrontation looms, the question isn't whether he'll try to destroy what we're building. It's whether love can truly conquer the darkness that's haunted me for so long.
