Chapter 1: The Anniversary Lesson

**Leylie’s POV **"I warned you, Leylie. Why do you keep disobeying me?" His words didn't just echo in the room; they stole every bit of air from my lungs,"What do you mean, Finn?" I whispered. "I... I haven't disobeyed you. I swear I haven't.""Really?" He turned toward me slowly, his hazel eyes unreadable. I desperately searched my mind for any mistake I might have made. I replayed every moment of my day, the quiet hours alone in this massive house, and every second of the past week, but nothing stood out, nothing that could explain the anger building in him."Finn, please," I pleaded, my voice breaking. "It's our fourth wedding anniversary. Can't we just... put this aside for one night?" I reached out, my fingers brushing his arm, longing to connect with the man I once knew, the one who had swept me off my feet and promised me the world.With a snarl, he flung my hand away like it was trash. The force sent me stumbling backward, my heels snagging on the edge of the small rug besid

Chapter 2: The Golden Cage

**Leylie’s POV **When the bedroom door finally closed behind them, the silence was so much louder than the moans and the sound of skin against skin that filled the room just moments earlier.I sat exactly where he’d left me, my wrists raw and stinging where the rope had bitten into them, watching the ceiling fan spin in lazy, indifferent circles. I no longer felt the tears. They had dried into itchy salt streaks on my cheeks, leaving my skin feeling tight and brittle.I heard the front door open and close. Cass was gone. She could walk into the cool Los Angeles night, call an Uber, and laugh about the evening later with friends over drinks. She was free in a way I couldn’t even remember anymore. While I remained here, still tied to this house, to this life, to him.A few minutes later, the bedroom door opened again. Finnian entered, wearing a fresh charcoal-colored robe, his hair damp from a quick shower, smelling of lime and cedarwood. He looked almost tender as he crossed the room

Chapter 3: The Virgin Whore

**Leylie’s POV **The following morning, I stood in front of the tall mirror that stretched from floor to ceiling, feeling like my body was nothing more than a collection of bruises held together by thin skin. I stared at my wrists; the rope burns had turned an ugly purple, circling them like permanent bracelets. My elbow was swollen, with a dull pain radiating up my arm whenever I moved.I stared at the woman in the mirror, barely recognizing her. My once glossy blonde hair, Finnian always wanted long and shining, hung limp around my shoulders. The dark circles under my eyes were so deep they looked like bruises.I didn't look twenty-four. I didn’t resemble the twenty-year-old girl who had once believed a handsome stranger’s smile meant the beginning of something beautiful.The bedroom door creaked open behind me, and my breath hitched. I didn’t need to turn around to know it was him; the air changed, growing heavier and colder like it always did when he entered a room.Finnian walke

Chapter 4: The Architect of Ruin

**Finnian's POV**I steamed as I descended the grand marble staircase, my pulse thrumming in my neck. I don't fucking know why she does it. Why does she always have to question my authority? Why was it so hard to always say, “Yes, Finn,” and “Okay, Finn”?I give her everything: a life she could only dream of. Yet she always finds a way to push me, to prick at my patience until I have to react, making me act crazy. She forces my hand, and then she has the audacity to look at me with those beautiful, wide, wounded eyes as if I were the villain in her story.I reached the foyer and pulled my phone from my pocket. My thumb swiped across the glass as I called the garage. "Get to the foyer. Immediately!"A minute later, James, the driver, appeared. I looked him over with a flicker of satisfaction. James was exactly what a servant should look like: invisible and unthreatening. He was middle-aged, with a receding hairline, a bulbous nose, and a permanent slouch that made him look smaller th

Chapter 5: The Price of Loyalty

**Leylie’s POV**I spent exactly one hour with my mother, just as Finnian had instructed. She looked better than she had in months: a faint flush of color had returned to her cheeks, and her breathing was steady and even, thanks to the expensive specialists and the imported medications Finnian provided.Every time I looked at her, I felt the heavy chain around my neck tighten. I couldn't make him angry. I couldn't risk her health. I knew he was capable of cutting her off without a second thought if I stepped out of line.I kissed her forehead, promised to call, and stepped out of the apartment building into the bright, unforgiving sun. I was halfway to the waiting car when a voice I hadn’t heard in years stopped me cold.“Leylie? Is that really you?”I turned and saw a face from years ago."Richard?"It was my high school classmate. He had lived next door to us for years and had been my friend until the day I married Finnian.One of the first things Finnian did was take my phone and d
