Chained by Fear
From the moment I was taken, my life became a waking nightmare. Fear and pain consumed me until the birth of my son—a fragile spark of hope in the darkness. For years, he was my reason to endure, my lifeline in a world of torment. But now, my captor has stolen him from me, twisting my love into a weapon to control me.
When three men from my past reappear, the fragile walls I’ve built around my survival start to crack. Once, they saved me, pulling me from the depths of despair. Now, I’m forced to rely on them again, even as old wounds and hidden truths threaten to destroy what little trust remains. Each step closer to my son reveals a dangerous game of lies, betrayal, and a devastating secret they’ve kept buried—a secret that could unravel everything.
As cryptic messages from my captor haunt my every move, I’m plunged into a desperate race against time. Every choice feels like a trap, every ally a potential traitor. But I won’t stop. For my son, I’ll face the shadows of my past. For my freedom, I’ll confront the monsters that still haunt me.
The deeper I go, the more I realize the truth: survival isn’t enough. I want revenge. I want redemption. And most of all, I want my son back. No matter the cost.
