Emily had thought she would be able to melt Nicholas's heart over time, but after three years of marriage without a hint of affection, their union is plagued by bitter resentment. To Nicholas, she is nothing more than a pleasure doll.
His heart belongs to another woman, his first love, Maria White—Emily's sister. After discovering intimate pictures of Nicholas and Maria together, Emily finally decided she had endured enough. She left Nicholas, signing the divorce papers and leaving them behind.
However, Nicholas cannot let her go. He may hate her, but something within him cannot bear to see her leave.
He pins her under him on the bed, his voice laced with menace as he whispers in her ear, "Emily, you belong to me. If you let another man touch you, you'll regret your life."
