Humiliated by the Billionaire's Mother

Adele Ferreira married the heir to a shipping empire and became a stranger at her own table. Her mother-in-law corrects her accent, her clothes, her body, and finally crops her out of the family photograph. Her husband, Mateus, is not cruel. He is simply gone — on planes, at ports, in rooms where his mother speaks for both of them. When Adele learns her adoption application was quietly withdrawn, she stops asking for a seat and buys back her late father's boatyard instead. Mateus comes home to an empty kitchen and a letter he never received. What he does next will cost him the chair his family built. A marriage-in-crisis romance about the in-laws who run a marriage and the wife who stops letting them.
