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."

"Nicholas, I’m so scared," she sobbed, burying her face in his chest.


Nicholas wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly as she trembled against him. He rested his chin on her head, his hand gently stroking her back to calm her.


“I’m here,” he whispered. “I won’t let anything happen to you or Nikon. I promise.”


Emily clung to him as though he was her only lifeline. “This is my fault. I should have been more careful. I should have kept him safer.”


Nicholas pulled back slightly, cupping her face in his hands so she would look at him. “Stop blaming yourself, Emily. None of this is your fault.” His voice was firm but filled with compassion. “Whoever did this is going to pay. I’ll make sure of it.”


Nicholas guided Emily over to the sofa near the window. He sat down, pulling her gently onto his lap. Emily buried her face in his chest, her sobs shaking her body. Nicholas didn’t say anything; he just held her close, letting her cry as much as she needed.
