Chapter 3 - The Sister's Vow
Three years before the honeymoon, Maya’s younger sister, Clara, had worked as an executive assistant at Vance Shipping Corporation.
Clara was bright, ambitious, and deeply trusting. Tragically, she caught the attention of Ethan Vance. Ethan used his power as her boss to manipulate her into a relationship, isolating her from her family and draining her small savings to cover his hidden gambling debts.
When Clara finally discovered that Ethan was embezzling corporate funds and framing her for the missing money, she threatened to go to the police.
That night, Clara was involved in a suspicious, devastating car accident on a dark coastal highway. She survived, but suffered severe spinal injuries that left her permanently paralyzed from the waist down. The police ruled it a hit-and-run, but Maya knew the truth. She found threatening voicemails from Ethan on Clara’s phone, warning her to stay quiet "or else."
However, because Ethan’s billionaire father controlled the local authorities, the investigation was quickly buried. Ethan walked away without a single consequence, leaving Clara broken and financially ruined.
Maya, deployed overseas at the time, requested an honorable discharge to return home and care for her sister.
Realizing the law would never touch a billionaire's son, Maya decided to become the law. She spent a year meticulously studying Ethan’s habits, his weaknesses, and his desperate need for his family's trust fund. She transformed herself into the exact type of passive, vulnerable woman Ethan desired, setting the ultimate trap.
