Left to Burn on Christmas, I Returned with My Billionaire In-Laws

On Christmas Day, Serena brings gift baskets and a two-thousand-dollar holiday bonus to her parents' home, where her mother promises a dinner of all her favorite dishes. But the meal is delayed for Travis and Chloe, and when Travis books a restaurant table for four, Serena learns she is not included. Her father tells her that as a married daughter she is no longer part of the household, while Travis and his wife are family forever.

For years Serena endured being set aside for Travis, blamed for stealing his love. When Travis suddenly invites her along, she believes he still sees her as a sister. He leads the family to a rundown cabin in the woods, and the moment she steps inside, he seizes her phone, shoves her in, and padlocks the door from outside, leaving her trapped in the darkness she has feared since childhood.
