After seven years of marriage, Wade Yule has endured endless torment from her mother-in-law, Old Mrs. Pierce, who fakes paralysis just to make her life a living nightmare, while her husband Morgan Pierce remains ice-cold and indifferent. Morgan not only lets his mother run wild but also tricks Wade into signing divorce papers. When Wade uncovers the whole ugly truth, something inside her dies. She quietly decides that once the cooling-off period ends, a mysterious stranger will take her far away from this hell. But before that day comes, Old Mrs. Pierce and Morgan’s mistress Vera Reed crank up the cruelty. They seize her bedroom, destroy the wedding dress her late mother left her, and even stage a car crash to take her out. Every single time, Morgan takes their side, refusing to believe a word Wade says. After one nasty misunderstanding, he locks her up in confinement and then goes ahead and throws a wedding with Vera Reed. Wade’s heart shatters beyond repair. The very day she gets her divorce certificate, the mysterious Silas York arrives and takes her away.
