CHAPTER 1 β THE HUMILIATION INSIDE THE PENTHOUSE
π THE LAST STRAW: WHEN RESPECT FINALLY RUNS OUT ππ₯
High above the city skyline, inside a luxurious penthouse filled with marble floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, Emily stood silently beside the dining table.
She was heavily pregnant.
Exhausted.
Barely able to stay on her feet.
Yet while she carried her unborn child, she was being treated like a servant in her own home.
Around her sat a group of elegant women dressed in designer clothes and expensive jewelry.
They called themselves friends.
But their laughter told a different story.
"Emily, bring us more drinks."
"Emily, clean this up."
"Emily, hurry up."
Each command was followed by more laughter.
More humiliation.
Emily lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Not because she agreed.
Because she was tired.
Tired of fighting.
Tired of being disrespected.
One of the women deliberately spilled wine across the table.
Then pointed at the mess.
"Clean it."
The room exploded with laughter.
Emily slowly bent down.
