Ruthless

Useless, broken, ordinary, worthless--these were the tags etched on Damien Hale's back by the people meant to be his family. Margaret Reed, his mother-in-law, and Victoria Reed, his own wife, mocked and humiliated him, dismissed as a mere stay-at-home son-in-law. But what no one knew was that he was far from ordinary. Behind the dirty apron and quiet smile was a man with unimaginable power, a man who gave up glory for anonymity and a family... until the day everything collapses. When Vanessa engages with her ex—the charming, manipulative Sebastian— in public, Damien becomes nothing more than a roadblock standing in the way of her “perfect future.” The insults grow bolder, the humiliation more public, and his dying marriage turns into battlefield. But when the Reeds push too far… Ethan finally snaps. As enemies rise and secrets unravel, Vanessa realizes too late that... the husband they bullied, is the king they should have feared. And now he was awake, the world would bleed before he bows again.
