He conspired with her best friend Zella Bucknill and lawyer Branigan to destroy her family.

But Stellan's threats against her comatose mother reveal this is only the beginning of a dangerous game of revenge and redemption.Content:
I was five months pregnant when my own best friend pushed me down the stairs… and I lost my baby.My younger brother tried to sue her, but the people backing her framed him for assaulting a client. In the end, his law license was revoked.
I begged my husband to help us. He promised me that he would.
But the very next day, my brother was taken away; he was arrested on false charges of rape brought up by her lawyer.
That night, I went to my husband’s study, desperate for answers. What I heard instead was his conversation with the lawyer.
“Mr. Breitbart, the connections on that side are already settled. Your wife’s brother won’t be getting out anytime soon. But if she ever learns that you’re the one who had her brother framed and thrown in prison, I’m afraid she won’t be able to accept it.”
Stellan’s gaze was heavy, and his voice—once the very sound of safety to me—was cold as ice.
“Only by sending him to prison can I force Ayana to release a clarification video. Zella didn’t mean it. She pushed Ayana because she was terrified I would abandon her for my wife. I will never let Zella go to jail.
“As for Ayana… I’ll make it up to her. She’ll never know the truth, not in this lifetime.”
My body trembled as the words sank in. I staggered back, unable to stop the tears streaming down my face.
The man I once saw as my salvation—the one I entrusted with my heart—was the very devil who had sent my family to hell!
He sent my brother to prison for the sake of my so-called best friend without even caring that she was the one who killed our baby!
I could no longer hold it in. With shaking hands, I pulled out my phone and sent my father a message.
[Dad, I agree now with what you once asked of me. I can take Mom and Jayven with me to you. But I have one condition. I want you to destroy the Breitbarts.]
Stellan Breitbart and Zella Bucknill… I would drag them both down to hell with me!

Ayana’s POV
Inside the study, Stellan was still speaking with Atty. Branigan.
I switched my phone to silent mode, waiting for my father’s reply.
“But wouldn’t this be too cruel to Ma’am Ayana?” The lawyer’s tone carried a trace of pity for me. “Zella is her closest friend, yet you sacrificed your child with your wife for Ms. Bucknill and even had her younger brother thrown into prison. If your wife ever learns the truth, I don’t believe she will simply withdraw the lawsuit.”
Stellan’s expression remained calm, but his words cut like a blade.
“I won’t give her that chance again. If Ayana refuses to withdraw the lawsuit and record a clarification video, then perhaps her mother will have no choice but to voice… certain objections.”
