Elena was forced to marry into the Ashford family to pay off her father’s debt. After the marriage, she went from being a 'bride' to a maid: she couldn’t eat at the table, had to live in the attic, had to wear a maid’s outfit to attend parties, and was even made to kneel in the memorial room of the late wife Lillian to atone. Her childhood sweetheart Damien had become cold, and his mother Victoria kept humiliating her. She struggled to survive amid grievances, misunderstandings, and old feelings, trying to hold on to her dignity and the truth.
