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.

However, Nicholas cannot let her go. He may hate her, but something within him cannot bear to see her leave.

Hearing Matteo’s words, Emily felt awkward. She could clearly see the way he was looking at her, the way he felt. His gaze was filled with unspoken emotions, and it made her uncomfortable. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, her voice steady but firm, "I would love to, Mr. Gereohart, but I'm afraid I must decline. I came here tonight because of Lily.
