He Sold Me—Now I Own Myself
He called me worthless, then sold me to save my brother. My name is Jessie, and my family traded me for a dowry—no love, no regret. Forced into a marriage with a cruel, dangerous man, I learned that survival means more than silence; it means fighting for every scrap of dignity they tried to take. In a town where girls are currency and justice is just a rumor, I turned secrets into power and betrayal into a weapon. But when exposing my husband's darkest crimes sets the whole town against me, I must decide: will I save the family that broke me, or let them drown in the world they made? If justice means standing alone, is it worth everything I’ve lost?
