« Regarde-moi pendant que je te baise. » Ce mariage arrangé n'est pas une mince affaire. C'est dangereux. Des alliances se nouent. La loyauté se jure. L'amour est une arme. Je leur ferai comprendre que je suis une force avec laquelle il faut compter – et ils me craindront. Pour ma famille, je ferai tout ce qu'il faut pour la protéger. Dès que j'entends son nom, je sais que je fonce droit dans le danger. C'est un homme dangereux et puissant, d'une arrogance à la hauteur. Mais je n'ai aucune intention de me soumettre à lui. Grand, ténébreux et mortel. Son charme et sa cruauté sont à couper le souffle. Chaque seconde passée en sa présence ne fait qu'attiser l'attirance, et pourtant, le danger qu'il représente pour mes proches est de plus en plus grand. Mon corps le désire, mais mon instinct me crie de rester loin de lui. Il est capable de détruire tout ce qui m'est cher. Mais lorsque la violence éclate et que mon monde s'écroule, je suis contrainte de m'en remettre à lui. Sera-t-il mon sauveur ou mon bourreau ? C'est la seule chose que je ne peux contrôler.

Com vinte e cinco semanas de gravidez, Tatiane foi sozinha à consulta pré-natal. Foi ali que descobriu a traição do próprio marido. Mais pesada, com os traços apagados e mal conseguindo sustentar a barriga, acabou sendo tratada como uma mulher muito mais velha pela amante - jovem e bonita - e ignorada pelo marido diante de todos. Henrique não a defendeu. Não explicou. Não negou nada. Limitou-se a olhá-la com desprezo, como se ela fosse um peso do qual queria se livrar. Poucos sabiam que, anos antes, no primeiro encontro entre Tatiane e Henrique, ela também fora o centro das atenções, admirada por todos. Convencido de que Tatiane havia se aproveitado dele para ascender socialmente, foi Henrique quem tomou a iniciativa de pedir o divórcio. Naquele instante, o coração dela morreu. Oito anos. Da universidade ao mercado de trabalho. Um amor silencioso, dedicação absoluta, incontáveis sacrifícios. Nada daquilo tinha valido a pena. Tatiane deu à luz, assinou o acordo do divórcio e foi embora sem olhar para trás. Cinco anos depois, ela já não era a mulher apagada de antes. Agora, era uma empresária poderosa, dona de um império avaliado em centenas de milhões. Linda. Confiante. Radiante. Cercada por admiração, poder e possibilidades. O homem que pedira o divórcio, porém, jamais o oficializara. Quando Tatiane entrou com uma ação judicial, Henrique voltou a se aproximar, afastando, um a um, todos os homens que tentavam chegar perto dela. Até o dia em que Tatiane surgiu em público, de mãos dadas com outro homem, anunciando o noivado. Henrique a encurralou contra a parede. Fora de si, rosnou: — Tatiane, casar com outro homem? Nem pense nisso.
