Arla strode towards the estate's main gate, meeting the security detail.

"Miss Arla," a guard spoke up. "We've been instructed by Mr. Liam to ensure your safety. Where are you going?"

Arla scoffed. "I'm just going for a walk. It's boring inside."

The guard persisted. "We must insist you tell Liam before leaving."

Frustrated, Arla rolled her eyes. "Is everyone here this rude? Just open the gate and let me out!"

The guards remained still. Realizing they wouldn't change their minds, Arla sighed and turned back. She noticed another gate, unguarded and unlocked. Glancing around, she took off her heels, held them in her hands, and quickly made her way to the gate.

She hid behind a bush, watching people moving boxes inside. After a while, she stepped out and walked along the path, continuing for nearly an hour until she reached the main road.

Tired and thirsty, she waved for a taxi and sat down, trying to catch her breath.

    Arla stepped into the house, her eyes falling upon Laurette and Vivian, standing with their arms folded. She sighed, exhaustion weighing heavily on her from the long walk. Suddenly, Liam pulled her indoors. Arla assumed he wanted to have sex again, and she protested, "I'm too tired, not today please." Liam glared at her, his voice harsh, "It seems I've been too lenient with you."Arla stared at him, trying to explain, "I didn't mean to disobey you, but..." Liam cut her off abruptly, "I don't need an explanation. Save me the stories."Just then, Laurette walked in, her voice cold and authoritative, "I think you should leave her with me now. I'll make sure she behaves. She won't dare defile you after today."

"I own me, and I get to decide what I want. What's wrong with you?" She glared at Laure

    Arla found herself roused from the relentless grasp of a fitful sleep. Wearily rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she reached out to her trusted phone only to find a message from Henry: "Good morning, Sunshine! I hope you got home safe yesterday. Sorry, I couldn't drop you; something came up." A faint smile danced on her lips as she typed back, "Thank you. I made it home safe, and thank you for yesterday."Rising from the bed, she stretched her tired limbs and focused on her appearance. As she freshened up and looked into the mirror, she chose to wear her favorite pair of blue jeans that hugged her curves like a glove. A vibrant red crop top and a simple yet elegant ponytail perfectly complemented her fresh look.The faintest scent of lip gloss filled the air as she gently applied it to her lips, and suddenly, Liam's warning from the previous day echoed through her mind. Realizing she didn't have her husband's number to reach out to him, she left her room to search for Liam. But fate ha

    Arla's heart pounded as she stormed into her father's office. She found him sitting at his desk, completely unaware of the emotional turmoil he had caused. The sight of him only fueled her anger and pain."How could you do this to Mia?" Arla demanded, her voice trembling with emotion. "How could you sell her off like some object to a man who will never love her?"Her father looked up, his eyes cold and calculating. "Arla, you know this is a strategic alliance," he replied calmly. "It will strengthen our family's position in society.""She's your daughter!" Arla shouted, "Not some pawn in your business games!"As her father's dismissive response hung in the air, Arla couldn't hold back the years of hurt and neglect any longer. "You were never there for me after Mom died," she said, her voice cracking with pain. "I needed my father, but you were too busy building your empire to care."Her father's eyes narrowed, but Arla continued, her voice rising with each word. "And now you've done t

    As Arla stepped out of her father's company, she decided to stop by a nearby cafe. Her stomach rumbled, and she figured a quick snack would help calm her nerves after the intense confrontation.

With a cold, dispassionate expression, Liam gestured to his bodyguards, who quickly dragged the injured man away to face the consequences of his disobedience.Liam's face hardened as he turned to address the remaining guards, his voice dripping with malice. "This is a warning to all of you," he growled, his dangerous tone sending chills down their spines. "Disobeying me comes with grave consequences. If any of you dare to lay eyes on Arla or fail to show her the respect she deserves, you will face a fate far worse than what you have just witnessed."The guards trembled, their faces pale with fear as they nodded obediently. They fell silent, the air thick with tension. Liam's message was clear, and none of them

    As Arla lay on the cold, hard bed in her makeshift prison, she found it impossible to ignore the looming presence of Liam, who stood just beyond the iron bars. His eyes bore into her, and she knew he was waiting for a reaction, any sign of fear or submission. But Arla refused to give him the satisfaction.Instead, she focused on the dim light filtering into the room, the musty smell of the basement, and the rhythmic drip of water from a nearby pipe. These distractions provided a momentary reprieve from the harsh reality of her situation."You can't keep me here forever," Arla finally said, her voice barely more than a whisper but infused with a steely determination that took Liam by surprise."I can do whatever I want," he replied, his tone a menacing sneer. "I own you; you're mine, Arla," he said again, his voice now dangerous. "And I'll keep you locked up until you learn how to behave within my walls."His words sent shivers down her spine, but Arla's stubbornness resurfaced, and sh

    Arla's gaze locked onto Henry's, her voice barely above a whisper as she began to recount the story he had told her about their past. "You said we got married in secret because you didn't want your enemies to find out that you're married because it's dangerous as a Mafia boss," she said, her eyes searching his for confirmation. "And that I was an orphan."Henry managed a half-hearted smile, he knew he had twisted and lied to her. "Yes, it's true," he affirmed, his thumb gently stroking the back of her hand.

As she approached Henry in the garden, he welcomed her with open arms, pulling her into a warm embrace."You're back," she said, her voice soft as she gazed into his eyes. Henry took her hands in his, a smile playing at his lips. "I couldn't bear to be away from you for too long," he confessed.Arla's smile deepened, and a gentle chuckle escaped her lips, revealing a glimpse of her perfectly white teeth. The two began to walk side by side through the garden, their hands still intertwined. "So, what have you been up to?" Henry asked, his curiosity piqued."Nothing much," Arla replied, her tone light and carefree. "Just focusing on my self-defense classes and getting the rest that the doctor advised."

As Liam drew closer, Vivian's heart raced, her breath quickening. She felt the warmth of his body, the raw masculinity that seemed to radiate from every pore. His strong hands reached for her, gently grasping her hips, pulling her towards him. In that moment, she surrendered to the raw hunger that had been building inside her."You're breathtaking," Liam whispered drunk, his voice hoarse with want.

"Do you know him?" he questioned, his concern mounting. Henry took a step closer to Arla, his anger intensifying as he examined her battered face. "I asked who did this to you?" he snapped, directing his accusatory glare at Liam. "Did this son of a bitch lay his hands on you?" Arla, her energy waning, pleaded with Henry.
