The night before my PhD defense, my husband pinned me to the kitchen counter, blasting symphony music to drown out my screams. His mother sneered, holding my only backup drives over a gas flame. “Women don’t belong in science,” she hissed, taking heavy shears to chop off my hair. They burned 5 years of my research.

“I don’t feel good, Mom,” my 12-year-old twins gasped before dropping dead at their birthday party. Instantly, agonizing pain seized my chest.

Her husband smirked behind a glowing laptop. “She belongs to me.” I slowly removed my gloves and looked at the armed men behind me. “No,” I said. “She’s my blood.” By sunrise, one empire would fall, and the other would rise from its ashes.
