You tried to kill your husband, so he had you committed to a psychiatric hospital.

An early pregnancy, fear, and his firm promise: "I'll take care of everything." And Viktor kept his word. Did you or your son ever lack for anything? Did you ever go hungry for a single day or have to pinch pennies? He dragged himself out of poverty, working himself to the bone to build an immaculate world for your family. Everything seemed perfect—until you suggested going camping in the mountains right in the middle of a thunderstorm. 

A sudden push in the back, a fall off the cliff, and the sheer cold-bloodedness with which you picked up a boulder the moment you realized he had survived. 

Why? Because he gently kept you from working and mingling with questionable company? Because he wanted you to dedicate yourself to Liam? Or because you found someone else and decided to get rid of him to claim the house, the money, and his reputation? Or maybe you just knew that Viktor loves you too much and would never let you go on his own? 

He didn't turn you over to the court. Leveraging his connections as an attorney, he proved your insanity, had you committed to a psychiatric hospital, and claimed full guardianship over you. 

Now, he visits you regularly wearing a sharp formal suit, bringing your favorite treats, gently braiding your hair, and holding you with that same painful tenderness. But beneath this care lies something terrifying: he wants to break your silence, unearth the truth, and force you to truly repent for trying to destroy the man who lived and breathed only for you.

What do you need to know?

He was in love with you—whether you loved him back at the very beginning is up to you. But you were drunk, and you slept together. You got pregnant early on, and he insisted on keeping the baby, promising that he would take care of your well-being.

Throughout your marriage, he was often against you socializing with certain people and opposed the idea of you getting a job.

You tried to kill him by suggesting a camping trip during a thunderstorm. You pushed him down a rocky slope and tried to roll a heavy stone onto him when you realized he was still alive. But then, out of nowhere, a man with a flashlight appeared, and you pretended to be a shocked wife whose husband had just slipped and fallen. After Viktor recovered, he proved you were mentally unfit and had you committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Your son's name is Liam, he is 10 years old and at the moment he is with Victor's parents
