Scarlet finally left the hospital after completing her mandatory training hours. Though relief washed over her at being done, her mind dwelled on the multitude of worries weighing her down.

Firstly, there was the ongoing rift between Lincoln and his father over the failed business deal at their firm. The two stubborn men remained at an impasse, unable to see eye-to-eye.

Then Michael's company had fallen on hard times. A sharp decline in stock value had caused investors to pull out in droves, leaving Michael's finances teetering on the edge of ruin.

"I don't know how much more stress poor Michael can take," Scarlet muttered under her breath as she merged on a gridlocked highway.

As if her loved ones' troubles weren't enough, pesky rumors had started circulating about her at the hospital.

Though she didn't know what sparked the gossip, it caused most of her colleagues to give her a wide berth lately, averting their eyes whenever she passed by.

Scarlet felt a lump form in her throat as s

    Dane's gaze locked onto her as he finished reciting his commandments."I'm not really one for negotiations or suggestions. These aren't guidelines we're discussing. They're absolute requirements. If you choose to be rebellious, disrespectful, or disobedient, the consequences won't fall on you alone. Your family, your friends, and anyone you care about will share in whatever punishment I deem appropriate." His tone shifted to something almost friendly as he took a step closer."Betrayal is the one thing I cannot and will not forgive. Cross me, attempt to deceive me, or even think about working against my interests, and it's over. Not just for you, but for everyone connected to you." Scarlett understood that her compliance wasn't just about her own survival anymore. It was about protecting everyone she'd ever cared about from his wrath."I may add new rules at any time as circumstances require. Each one is designed to ensure your wellbeing and our mutual happiness." The way he said "hap

    The car wound through Hartland's affluent neighborhoods before finally approaching the imposing gates of the Creighton estate.The mansion that came into view was breathtaking in its grandeur, easily twice the size of her family's home and infinitely more intimidating."Your overly brave brother had the audacity to attack this place," Dane said conversationally as they passed through the inner gates. "That's why you never got the chance to visit before. But this is your permanent residence now. Your prison, and I'm your warden. There are guards everywhere, security systems monitoring every inch of the grounds. Don't try anything foolish."The car came to a stop in the circular drive, and Dane made no move to help her exit the vehicle. Instead, he sat back and watched as she struggled once again with her elaborate dress, his expression one of detached amusement."Tonight will be different from any other night you've experienced," his words carrying promises she didn't want to contempla

    Dane's words were delivered with chilling calm, as if he were discussing the weather rather than threatening murder.Scarlett brought her hand to her mouth and let out a soft sniffle as tears welled up despite her best efforts to contain them."Don't cry." The words were whispered in a thoroughly irritated tone.She lifted her head and blinked rapidly, trying to hold back the tears as she waited for him to continue his warnings and threats."You'll smile and behave exactly as a bride should. Deeply in love with her groom, and completely happy with this marriage." He turned from the window to face her, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips. "You already have experience in that, don't you? Playing the loving wife?"The barb hit its mark, and Scarlett lowered her head, breathing softly as she tried to steady her trembling form."You'll do exactly as I command to ensure your brother's survival. You'll appear to be the most radiant, proud bride anyone has ever seen. Do you understand?" Dan

    A scream tore from Scarlett's throat, ending the nightmare.She bolted upright in bed, her body shaking with terror as the nightmare clung to her mind.Tears streamed down her face as she struggled to separate dream from reality.She hadn't slept since coming here. Last night she had managed to sleep only to be haunted by nightmares.Fear gripped her senses as she realized what the dream meant.The woman in the nightmare wasn't who she wanted to become. A killer capable of taking Lincoln's life, someone who could find pleasure in violence and blood.Her sobs echoed through the room until Mrs. Creighton gently pulled her from the grip of panic, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "My dear! It was just a dream. Please stop crying."Scarlett blinked and saw the frail form and gentle soul of her mother-in-law, the only source of kindness in this nightmare."Please don't leave me alone. I'm so scared," she whispered, breathing hard.Mrs. Creighton nodded, running her fingers through

    Dane entered Scarlett's room without knocking.She sat on the edge of the bed, staring out the window, not even acknowledging his presence.He tossed the folder onto the bed beside her.Scarlett's stomach clenched when she saw it, instinct telling her that whatever was inside would change everything."Put your fingerprint here and sign your name." He commanded.Scarlett's hands shook as she opened the folder, revealing two documents that made her blood run cold.The first was a divorce decree bearing Lincoln Blake's name, complete with what appeared to be his signature, which she could swear was definitely forged.The second was a marriage certificate with Dane Creighton's bold signature already in place, waiting for hers."I won't sign this." She wavered between fear and defiance. "You can't make me do this. I love my husband. I will never leave him for a psychotic beast."She threw the papers aside, her eyes blazing with fury as she met his cold stare.Dane let out a slow breath, hi

He was making it real.He stormed out with that declaration, his men following behind him.The door slammed shut, leaving Scarlett staring at the wooden barrier that separated her from the outside world.Mrs. Creighton moved closer carefully."Don't worry, child. His words can't control your destiny. There's always hope, always another way." She wrapped Scarlett in a comforting embrace."I wish I could believe that." She wiped her tears fiercely, still staring at the door.The older woman tightened her embrace, offering what comfort she could.Dane slid into the driver's seat of his black sedan.Two cars flanked him, carrying his security team.
