In a world where power and passion collide, Lily Anderson finds herself entangled in a web of deceit and desire with Ethan Blackwood, a man of enigmatic charm and ruthless ambition. Their tumultuous relationship is a battleground of wills and wits, where Lily struggles to maintain her dignity and autonomy against Ethan's domineering control. As they navigate through a series of encounters that test the limits of trust and betrayal, a question lingers in the air: Can love flourish in the shadows of manipulation, or will it wither under the weight of dark intentions?

Throughout their journey, the dialogue between Lily and Ethan is peppered with moments of tension and revelation, offering a glimpse into the complex dynamics of their relationship:

"I'm not finished," Lily glared at him defiantly, reaching for another bottle from the ice bucket. With a resounding crash, Ethan upended the entire bucket, his eyes darkening with barely contained fury. "Get the hell out of here, all of you!" He snarled, his face contorted with rage. How dare they ogle his woman like that?

"You belong to me. Your body, your time, your very existence—all of it is mine to do with as I please," Ethan growled, his face mere inches from hers, asserting a claim that Lily vehemently resisted.

"I don't belong to anyone," she spat, her voice trembling. "Least of all a monster like you."

"You'll learn, Lily. One way or another, you'll learn your place," Ethan's lips curled into a cruel smile, promising a future of struggle and submission.

"I'll do anything you want," Lily whispered, her soul fracturing with each syllable, as she made a choice that would change her life forever.

"Because my name is Ethan Blackwood," he said, a statement that carried with it a weight of power and a promise of consequences yet to be seen.

30 Days of Passion and Revenge

"How come you're not reading with the light on?" Lily asked in surprise, looking at the not-so-bright bedside lamp. "This will hurt your eyes."

"I'm afraid that if the light is too bright, it will disturb Miss Anderson's sleep," Nanny said with a smile as she stood up and turned on the lights in the room. "Is Miss Anderson hungry? I'll cook some porridge for you."

"No trouble needed, I'm not hungry now. I can make something to eat when I'm hungry."

She wasn't disabled, just had a stomach problem, and her previous cold had already recovered. Her body had been no longer precious since nine years ago.

"That's not okay. If you get hungry, Mr. Blackwood will blame me."

"Nanny, you are an elder. Please don't use honorifics for me in the future; just call me Lily," Lily said with a smile, sitting up in bed.
