Synopsis

Emma had just buried her mother when Mason, her stepfather, surprised her with terrible news: "A man has bought you and is going to make you his wife." Even before she can flee, she receives a severe blow, and when she wakes up hours later, she is in a giant house, marriage certificate in hand. Emma even thinks that the idea of marrying Gregory is better than living next door to Mason and continuing to suffer his abuse. However, Emma can't stand being treated with contempt while her husband only thinks about cheating on her and using her as a bargaining chip. Emma flees the abuse, but when Gregory realizes that his wife is carrying the heir of his dreams, he vows to hunt her to the ends of the earth.

Chapter 001

After hours of pain and sadness, I finished the task of mourning my mother’s body and burying her with her siblings. A feeling of despair enveloped me as I stared at the newly laid headstone, alone in the cemetery. A grumble of protest tore from my throat. There was no one but me to say goodbye to her, not even that horrible man she had called her husband for so long. “At least you’re free of that monster, Mom,” I muttered as I wiped the tears that insisted on falling from my face. I’m going to have to learn to live on my own and face the punishment you left for me.” I was just getting home when hurried footsteps came towards me, making me twist my neck. My heart raced as I came across the figure of some men walking towards where I was. I knew one of those faces well, and I didn’t like seeing him there. “Mason,” my voice escaped in a whisper just as I slowly stood up to look into his eyes. He came closer and closer. “What the hell is that bastard doing here at this hour?” My eye...

Chapter 002
Suddenly, I found myself alone in that room with more questions than answers. I let a tear run down my eye and soon found myself desperate to get away. How could I be married to a man I didn’t know? I would never accept such a situation in my life. I decided that I couldn’t allow the consummation to happen; after all, I was unable to bear any man touching me again. I wiped my face and, when I stood up, I realized I was wearing new, clean clothes. The mirror’s reflection startled me. My nose was red and all the swelling was even in one of my eyes. I barely remembered what had happened, but Mason had hit me so hard that I had fainted. Carefully, I walked to the door, hoping it wasn’t locked. The night breeze caressed my face as I opened it. I quietly left the room, slipping down the wide, dimly lit corridor. I had no idea where I was going; the place was simply enormous. I spotted a giant staircase, and my light steps took me there, making sure that no one would see me slip away.

Chapter 003
The days dragged on as I spent most of my time locked in the bedroom. The only familiar face I saw was Samantha’s, who occasionally appeared during the day to bring me food. Other times, a younger maid would come to her place, but she said nothing and wouldn’t even look me in the eye. She would enter, leave the food on the table, and leave immediately.The bruises on my face were almost healed, which made me quite apprehensive. I knew that as soon as I got better, Gregory would walk through that door and demand that I fulfill my role as his wife.I still found his behavior of not seeking me out very strange. Since that night, when he caught me trying to escape, I hadn’t seen him again.Some nights, I heard his voice and his footsteps descending the stairs. Then, I’d go to the window and see him get into a car and leave, rushing. Occasionally, Gregory returned at dawn or only the next day. That man’s life was a mystery to me. However, I had nothing to complain about; he stayed away, as

Chapter 004
Immediately after saying that, the old man turned his back and left. Gregory tried to catch up to him, attempting to convince him to stay for lunch, but the old man only glanced at me with disdain and said Gregory needed to produce a grandson as quickly as possible if he truly wanted the inheritance.I covered my face with my hands and immediately regretted trying to help him. Why had I wanted to be kind to a man who had bought me like a cheap commodity? That was my greatest flaw—helping those who didn’t deserve it.I was so consumed by my worries that I didn’t notice when Gregory approached. I only felt him grab my arm and drag me upstairs. An indescribable fear gripped my chest.I muttered the entire way, questioning what he intended and where he was taking me, but all I could hear was Gregory’s labored breathing, as if he were holding his anger between his teeth.Then he opened the door to my room and threw me onto the bed. My heart sank, and I feared the worst. After all, the idea

Chapter 005
I could see Gregory’s indifferent face as he told me I needed to give him a child. A smile played on my lips—why was I laughing? Out of desperation because of all the things Gregory had said to me in the short time we had been married, those words were the worst.There was a brief and heavy silence between us. I felt a knot tightening in my throat as I considered the possibility of having a child with that man. I couldn’t bear for any man to touch me again. The images of Mason on top of me, forcing himself on me while I begged him to stop, came flooding back, nearly pushing me into a panic attack.“Find another way to get your inheritance because I won’t have a child with you.”My defiant words forced me to display determination, even as his sharp gaze bore into me and fear of what Gregory might do next gripped me.“I’m not giving you an option, Emma; I’m telling you.” Gregory’s response was short and cold, and I felt there was nothing I could say to change his mind.“Are you going to

Chapter 006
I pace back and forth in the doctor’s office while I wait for the results of my pregnancy test. After that night, when I was with Gregory for the first time, my heart warmed at the thought of being truly desired and realizing that Gregory’s sharp words were just excuses to hurt me.However, our encounters became rare and decreased as the years went by, and I could not get pregnant. Gregory’s hatred for me grew considerably, but for me, it was already too late. I had fallen in love with my cruel husband.Gregory’s stance on all this was clear: When you give me a child and the inheritance is transferred to me, we’ll get divorced.There were six months left until our agreement ended. I hoped that, by then, I would finally give him a child and manage to melt his stony heart, making him entirely mine. I no longer wanted to divorce or run away; I wanted to make this work, and my hopes were high. However, over time, I saw him slowly drift away from me, and our union became increasingly unsus

Chapter 007
I was approaching the car when I felt an icy hand grab me. Before I could lift my eyes, I noticed an umbrella being placed over my head, and the rain that had once fallen so steadily ceased as if by magic.My eyes rose, and I saw a man standing before me. He was handsome, with his sharp jawline and eyes as dark as the night. He looked very concerned, but I had no idea who he was or what he was doing there. Just what I needed—someone to bring me more problems.“Are you okay, Emma?” His mention of my name surprised me. Where did this man know me from?“I’m fine, thank you?” I tried to recall if I had seen him somewhere before, but nothing came to mind.He held the umbrella above our heads while opening the car door for me. He noticed my puzzled and frightened look as I stood still before the open car door, trying to understand what was happening.“I apologize; you certainly don’t know me,” I watched as he removed one hand from the suit he was wearing and extended it toward me. “I’m Edwa

Gregory’s POVI had barely left the office when the secretary came running to me, saying that a woman had been there claiming to be my wife. My blood boiled in my veins, but the moment I thought Emma might have seen what I was doing in the office with Alya, it immediately froze, almost making me stop breathing.I rushed out of the building. It was as if Emma had vanished; no one saw her leave, so I assumed she had gone home. The entire way, I couldn’t stop thinking about it—about Alya and Emma. What, after all, had Emma been doing in my office?It was one condition I had imposed on her: she was not about to set foot in my family’s company. I would only recognize her as my wife after she gave me a child, thus allowing me to finally secure my inheritance. But Emma had disobeyed me. Worse, she had gone to my office while Alya was there.The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I recalled the day I negotiated with Mason to bu

Pov EmmaThat night, while I was having dinner alone, I heard Samantha telling the other staff that Gregory had gone to visit his grandfather. Everyone seemed to talk about nothing else but Edward’s return. It seemed like everyone feared him, including Gregory himself.My husband didn’t sleep at home that night. But I also didn’t call him urgently like I always did. I called the lawyer Gregory had made available to me and asked him for a big favor. I was going to give Gregory a beautiful surprise the next day, not caring whether he would hate me forever afterward.The next day, I went downstairs for breakfast and told Samantha that I would be going out and to let Gregory know when he arrived. The maid found the information strange, as it implied I would spend the entire day away from home, but she didn’t question me. Samantha was good company and was always around to make my days more bearable.I went back to the bedroom, took off

Chapter 010
Gregory’s POVMy eyes fell on the objects on Emma’s bed, and what caught my attention and made my heart race was the shine of the ring, placed so delicately as if she had carefully arranged it to be the first thing I would see.“What the hell is going on here?”I muttered angrily as I lunged for the object and gripped it in my hands. I remembered putting that ring on Emma’s finger when she was still unconscious on the bed. We had just gotten married, and I was holding her injured in my arms. She was such a beautiful young woman that, for a moment, I felt lucky to have chosen her. But Emma had proven to be rebellious against the idea of being married to me.We were two strangers living under the same roof—me wanting my inheritance; her craving her freedom. Although our agreement was still six months from the end, I had thought more than once about divorcing her as soon as my grandfather passed away. I was sure he would die first, that Emma would soon give me a child, and I could rid my
