Sold by My Sun, Silenced by Love

He was my sun, my secret, and my undoing. As the Lane family’s loyal attendant, I grew up loving Ethan from the shadows—until the day he traded my trust for his own ambition, poisoning me and selling me to Magnolia House. Stripped of my voice and dignity, I become a silent prize in a world of velvet cruelty and whispered deals, caught between the ruthless Marquis Carter and the man who once swore to save me. Yet every humiliation is a test: how much pain can love survive, and how far will power go to bury the truth? When a forbidden night puts me back in Ethan’s sights, will I find freedom—or lose what’s left of my soul? What does a broken boy do when even hope becomes a weapon?
