Chapter 1

LEENA'S POVIt had been three years together. Growing up as childhood friends, Zack and I had always had our lives planned out. We had been supportive of each other all through High school days. We were the inseparable Bonnie and Clyde.Yet, we had never once considered dating each other . Not until three years ago when he returned from the UK and both our families decided to take things to another level. That was when he changed, that was when he developed a sudden hatred for me.And I had no idea why that was.My mother had died when I was eight years old, and my father remarried four years after that. I could not blame him for deciding to do so. He had waited for a long time before giving love a second chance.His choice was not the best, Because she walked in with her daughter and they both despised me greatly. A part of me believed that she could not wait to send me out of my father's house.Zack and I had just gotten engage two weeks ago when I returned from a business trip. I t

Chapter 2

LEENA'S POVI struggled in his grip until I could not take it any longer. I had to scream."Let me go, Zack! Jeez!" I said aloud. I saw Kara's eyes glint with amusement. I looked into his eyes with a look of horror, and a smirk flashed across his lips. He was satisfied with the idea of making my life miserable."Are you ready darling?" He asked me coldly. I felt shivers run through my body as he spoke, yet, I was not going to let him have the last laugh. If he wanted to be less than a human being to me, I was going to show him how animals behaved.I straightened up and smoothened my hair back with my palm. My wrist hurt terribly where he had gripped me. I turned to find Kara smiling but when she discovered my eyes were on her, she immediately feigned innocence, and pretended she was not exhilarated by what was happening to me.Without a second glance at Zack, I picked up my purse and headed for the door. My Father and the rest had already gone ahead of us to the court venue.I was not

Chapter 3

ZACK'S POVWhat had come over me? Why had I even decided to go through with this crazy marriage plan? I paced round the room the morning of our wedding. My parents were Catholics, and they demanded that we have a real, church wedding ceremony.Something I had urged against. It was enough that we got married legally, we did not have to spend so much money on an actual wedding.I lit a shisha pen and puffed out a cloud of smoke. I had been staring out the window for a really long time.There were some really beautiful young ladies walking in and out of our front yard. I admired them all. A smile played on my lips as I took in the generosity of their exposed skins and cleavages.Then, I saw her! And my mood immediately went sour. How and when I had come to detest the sight of her, and even the thought of her, I had no idea.This whole marriage was a sham! She was just trying to pull me along for money! Yet, she did not even have the guts to admit it! She was just a sad gold digger! But t

Chapter 4

LEENA'S POVZack's words rang out in my ears through out the rest of the occasion. I had not expected anything less from him. I knew that this relationship was going to be my torture.Yet, I did not know exactly how far he was willing to go to make life miserable for me. I pretended as much as o could through out the reception dinner.I was the perfect bride, wearing fake smiles and being courteous towards everyone. All the while I walked about, my eyes twitched. I knew something was wrong somehow. It was obvious that I was either going to be embarrassed by Zack, or perhaps something a bit more intense was going to happen. But that was fine, I am Leena Davis, and standing strong in the face of difficulties is my greatest strength."Leena! Wow, finally, you and Zack got married. Isn't that nice? I mean from the way you used to leech all over him back in school, it was obvious to everyone that you just wanted him for yourself. I guess you can never be too wrong about a desperate woman.

Chapter 5

LEENA'S POV"Kara!" I yelled out angrily. With a sudden jerk, Kara jumped off him really quickly.I could see the look of disappointment lace Zack's eyes. He got up and tucked his tool back into his boxers.The room seemed to spin around me. I couldn't speak, couldn't breathe. My mind raced, trying to process the betrayal, the cruelty of his actions. How could he have done such a thing? How could he so callously discard me, like I was nothing more than a defective object?How could he have tossed aside our friendship as if twenty five years meant nothing to him?My heart squeezed and twisted within my chest. The look on his face was that of non- chalance. He pulled out a smoke and continued to blow the fumes of his intoxicating cigarette into the air where I stood.I stood there, frozen in pain, and unable to speak any further.The room seemed to darken like the lights had been extinguished, leaving only the harsh glare of Zack's betrayal. I felt like I was drowning, suffocating unde

Chapter 6

The room became frigid.I gazed, astonished, at the man who had just intruded. His presence was captivating, featuring a tall, broad-shouldered man in a costly black suit, his hair swept back perfectly, his dark eyes igniting with intense rage.The defined contours of his jaw clenched as he marched angrily to the bed, disregarding Zack completely.My spouse! the outsider echoed, his voice booming like thunder, rattling the walls.Zack reacted instinctively, positioning himself between us like a guard dog, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.Who on earth are you? Zack yelped.The man merely grinned a perilous, deliberate grin that failed to fully reflect in his eyes.He took out a smooth black wallet and showed something to Zack too fast for me to see.Eric Winters. Lawyer... and spouse, he stated, stressing the final word as his gaze fixed on me.I closed and opened my eyes. Spouse? What was he discussing?I attempted to sit up, bewilderment overwhelming my already tired mind.You’re wro

Chapter 7

I stirred awake to the gentle beeping of devices and the subtle smell of disinfectant.For a brief moment, I believed I was on my own.But then I sensed it, the warmth of a hand firmly holding mine.I gradually opened my eyes, and there he stood.Eric.Perched on the chair next to my hospital bed, soundly asleep, his head propped against the wall, his hand tightly gripping mine as if releasing it would break everything apart.For a brief instant, I simply gazed at him.Who was this individual? Why was he gambling so much for someone like me, someone damaged, forsaken, expendable?Was he genuinely here for me, or was there another scheme I hadn't grasped yet?I gently squeezed his hand. His eyes opened almost instantly, keen and focused.Upon seeing that it was me, alert and observing him, a faint smile of relief appeared on his face."Good morning," he remarked, his voice raspy from slumber."Good morning," I replied hoarsely, my throat feeling dry and rough.He leaned in, filling a g

Chapter 8

Leena's POVThe subsequent days were a peculiar haze of recovery and discomfort.Eric allowed me more space than I anticipated.He didn’t push for conversations, didn’t intrude on my quietness.He just existed close by, a calm, consistent presence that never demanded more than I was prepared to offer.I appreciated that.I roamed his penthouse, getting to know its vast spaces and glass walls that offered a stunning vista of the city skyline.It seemed almost excessively lavish, too pristine, as if entering a realm where the disorder of my history could not touch me.Yet beneath the surface, I understood more.My history had not finished with me yet.Every night, as I nestled under the fresh sheets, I anticipated the nightmares to arrive, and they did.Zack's laughter lingered in my dreams, his voice curving into the shadowy areas of my mind, reminding me that liberty was delicate.That tranquility was a misconception.On the third night, I awakened with a scream.The covers twisted ar

Chapter 9

Leena's POVI observed Eric out of the corner of my eye while he filled a glass with whiskey. The amber fluid shimmered in the gentle light, creating shadows over the pronounced angles of his jaw. He hadn’t spoken much since Karina departed.However, I was able to sense it.An alteration had occurred.His whole demeanor transformed as if a mask had split, uncovering a darker truth underneath. Something even more hazardous."Eric," I said gently.He turned, one hand still resting on the edge of his glass, while the other slipped into the pocket of his trousers."Really?""Be honest with me… just how severe is it?"He did not respond immediately. He sipped slowly, maintaining his gaze firmly on mine."Zack has always been an issue," he eventually stated, "but what about now?" He is becoming careless. This renders him uncertain. "Moreover, it's a danger I cannot dismiss."My heart raced more quickly."I never intended for any of this to affect you," I murmured, guilt constricting my thro

Chapter 10

Leena's POVThe city appeared distinct after dark. Chillier. More ruthless. The headlights pierced the fog while Eric's dark SUV raced along the empty road. I sat next to him in the backseat, holding onto the edge of the leather seat with one hand, while my other hand clutched my small duffel bag as if it were a lifeline.The atmosphere was filled with tension. Max was at the wheel, his gaze darting frequently between the road and the rearview mirror. Eric sat next to me, quiet, yet the tense line of his jaw expressed all that his words did not.We were jogging. Once more.Zack was narrowing the gap."Eric, he has submitted police reports," I murmured, gazing at the shadowy shapes of buildings beyond. "They believe you are a criminal." "What occurs if they trust him?"He faced me, speaking softly. "Then I will cease to play clean."His fingers grazed against mine, steady and comforting."However… what makes them trust him more than you?""Since Zack Cain is an expert at manipulation,"
