*****Trigger Warning***** This book contains mature themes, physical, sexual and emotional abuse. My name is Lillian Blackwood. I thought my life was over. I had been beaten down and controlled by my ex both emotionally and physically for years. It was, do or die. Fortunately, I survived, and with therapy and time, I finally started some semblance of a life. The very last thing I was looking for was love. I hate dating, and quite frankly, I'm not a fan of men and who can blame me? I keep a very tight circle of friends, so I was surprised when love pushed and shoved its way into my life. But not all fairytales have happy endings, and my tale certainly gives happiness a run for its money.

“Kenapa ini? Kenapa rasanya tidak nyaman begini?” gumam Bea dengan suara semakin serak dan lemah. Nigel berjongkok tepat di depan Bea yang bergerak tak tenang. Sebelah alis Nigel terangkat, ia memperhatikan wajah Bea yang semakin memerah. Melihat gelagat tak normal dari tubuh Bea, Nigel pun langsung paham apa yang terjadi kepada wanita cantik itu. “Ternyata kau pun menggunakan cara murahan ini untuk memikat saya,” decih Nigel sinis, “jika bukan untuk membuat wanita parasit itu marah dan kesal, kau tidak akan memiliki kesempatan masuk ke kamar ini. Jadi tidak usah bermain trik murahan ini dengan saya, atau saya lempar kau ke kandang singa saat ini juga. Berdiri dan jangan bertingkah!” desis Nigel memperingati Bea. “Aah!” Nigel terkejut ketika Bea tiba-tiba menarik dasinya. Pria itu sempat terhuyung, sehingga harus menopang tubuhnya dengan tangan di lantai. Dengan posisi itu mata coklat muda milik Nigel beradu tatap begitu dekat dengan sepasang mata hijau Bea. Beberapa detik Nigel diam, seakan terhanyut oleh sinar mata hijau bak danau milik model cantik itu. “T-tolong saya, Tuan. Jangan sakiti saya, tolong antarkan saya pulang. D-dia, pria itu brengsek.” Bea berceloteh tak jelas dengan suara parau menahan lenguhan. Tubuhnya semakin tidak nyaman, bahkan ia terus menarik-narik tali gaun seksinya. “Aah, saya tidak nyaman. Ini panas sekali, tidak nyaman.” Nigel menggeram. Ia mencengkram pipi Bea dengan tangannya. “Saya sudah peringatkan, jangan bermain trik dengan saya. Kau sangat berani sekali. Orang yang lancang sepertimu ini kemarin berakhir tanpa kepala, apa kau juga ingin menyusul?” desis Nigel.
