Abigail found herself trapped against the wall by a powerful man, her arms throbbing with pain. "Please let me go, you're hurting me," she managed through tears, maintaining a steely gaze into his intense green eyes. The man, Charles, leaned closer, their faces almost touching, his warm breath tickling her cheeks. His eyes held a复杂 mix of emotions that Abigail couldn't decipher. After a moment's silence, he spoke softly, "You have no choice. You belong to me now – for my love, and for whatever else I see fit." Charles Shaw, once Aidan Thompson's dedicated assistant at Thompson & Co., discovered he was actually the heir to a vast fortune. As he worked alongside Aidan, he crossed paths with Abigail Mills, Aidan's fiancée. Abigail had loved Aidan devotedly for five years, dreaming of becoming his wife. However, to Aidan, she was merely a prized possession, a beautiful addition to his family's image. Aidan's demanding nature consumed all his time, leaving Abigail neglected. Whenever she longed for his companionship, Charles would often step in on his behalf, despite his own reluctance. Gradually, a connection formed between them, unspoken yet undeniable. Then, a shocking revelation: Charles uncovered Aidan's plot against Abigail. He intended to disclose this secret, but before he could, he was brutally attacked and presumed dead. Resurfacing one year later, Charles returned with a new identity, determined to seek justice and protect Abigail from Aidan's machinations.
