He Begged for My Love
I fell to the ground in front of Ethan.
He frowned and crouched down, gripping my chin. His eyes were a storm—rage and something else buried deep.
"I gave you enough money when we broke off our mate bond," he said, low and cold. "And yet you're out here selling yourself? You enjoy this? Joy, name your price. Whatever you want—just say it, and I'll pay."
My heart bled. But I smiled through the pain, eyes full of tears.
"Ethan," I said. "I'd rather earn my money dirty than ever beg you again."
