After Marriage, My Good Luck Became a Curse

From birth, Selene possessed a one-in-a-million gift: her spoken words could avert disaster and turn misfortune into blessing. She used it to help countless strangers, until she married her childhood sweetheart, Lawrence Ashford. On their wedding day, when the Ashford family faced ruin, she refused to speak, and swore a blood oath of silence she has kept ever since.

Years later, Lawrence has taken their son Alex from her and given him to Claudia Voss to raise. When Alex and Claudia are in a car accident, Lawrence drags Selene to the hospital and demands she speak to save them. She had foreseen that Alex would not live past ten, and had warned Lawrence not to let the boy leave the house on his tenth birthday. He ignored her.

Now Claudia begs for her legs, Lawrence presses a scalpel to Selene's throat and threatens divorce, and Alex's life hangs by a thread. Selene can only weep and keep her silence.
