Susan thought her life would be as wonderful as a fairy tale when she married the man of her dreams. Shawn Daniels was a successful business owner, a self-made millionaire. The local media recognized his natural charm and exploited his camera-ready features to propel him to celebrity status. When Susan accepted his marriage proposal, it made him the happiest man in the world. The magic of the new chapter of their lives held true for a while, but Shawn had a past that gave cause for alarm. Susan, of course, knew nothing about it, and unfortunately, neither did most others in his life. No one could warn Susan, and she had no way of knowing the dangers that lie ahead for her. Shawn’s reputation was that of a ruthless business executive. His management staff both feared and revered him. No one knew, however, that away from the office, as a man, he was a whimpering coward. His strength at work came from copious amounts of heroin. Away from those close to him, he harbored an insatiable appetite for deviant sexual gratification. The drugs kept those desires in check to a point. It was a cause of frustration Shawn found increasingly difficult to control. Eventually, Susan became an unwilling target of some of his most troubling desires. Shawn’s inability to deal with his personal life led to poor business decisions. Those decisions affected his company’s bottom line, which led to increased pressure from investors. His investors, mostly local mob figures, became increasingly unhappy with Shawn and demanded results. Unfortunately, Shawn’s cowardice put his wife in the direct line of sight for the mob’s pressure tactics. Susan endured ungodly amounts of physical and mental abuse from both Shawn and his unsavory associates. When Shawn got in trouble with the mob, he never took the beatings himself. He volunteered his wife instead. At what point would Susan say enough? How long would it take before her torment became unbearable? Shawn took on a mistress. A very public relationship ensued, which triggered the beginning of the end. He flaunted her around town, as if he was no longer married to Susan. She filled a void that Susan could not and he needed her more than he needed his wife. He thought she just wanted his money, but he was wrong. She had a much more sinister agenda. An agenda that would put an unsuspecting Susan in even further in danger. The way Shawn flaunted his mistress drew constant media scrutiny. Susan’s public humiliation and shame were insufferable. But things were about to change. Susan’s suffering had taken its toll, and she vowed to fight back. She vowed revenge. The plan she came up with was genius in its simplicity, but things went off the rails early. At the trial, the prosecution painted Susan as a cold-blooded killer, a murderer, a savage for the way she had mutilated her husband’s body. But he would have to prove that she did it. The District Attorney was a seasoned, well-respected prosecutor. He saw the case as open and shut. His arrogance was on full display as he openly mocked his opponent, a young inexperienced recent law school grad. Would the prosecutor be up to the task? Or would his young adversary prove to be more of a challenge than he thought? Susan no longer cared what happened to her. In the courtroom, she was like a stone. She showed no emotion, which led jurors to loathe her. Her young attorney had his work cut out for him. Would he have a chance against the seasoned prosecutor? Could he convince an already tainted jury that Susan was innocent? This is Susan Daniels’ story of pain, suffering, humiliation, and an extreme appetite for revenge. As Susan fights for her life in court. Would the truth come out? Did she kill her husband? Her demeanor suggested to the jury that she did. Could her young attorney convince them otherwise? Would Susan get the retribution she deserved?
