Lina Jenkins and Carson Adams once shared moments of bliss. During the early days of their relationship, Carson was attentive and caring, showering Lina with affection. Lina truly believed she had found her one true love. However, by the fifth month of her pregnancy, Carson’s true nature began to surface.
Perhaps feeling that he had secured Lina’s commitment, Carson unveiled his real self. He insisted that they could only marry if she gave birth to a boy, claiming that the Adams family lineage must continue uninterrupted. He declared that enduring hardship was a virtue for women, reminiscing about how his own mother had managed to work even when she was heavily pregnant with him.
Carson held firm to the old-fashioned belief of "when you marry a man, you marry his family," urging Lina to shed her so-called pampered habits to earn her place in his family home. Lina tried to adjust to the new expectations, swapping her afternoon tea rituals for coffee, and beginning to prepare dishes like pasta and dinner rolls, hoping to suit Carson’s preferences. However, a sense of unease lingered as she navigated these changes while striving to maintain her own identity.

My chest tightened with anticipation, five years of shared struggle culminating in this moment at the Manhattan penthouse banquet. But Chace, my partner, didn't look at me; he turned to Karyn, sliding his family's heirloom emerald ring onto her finger. Then, his voice echoed through the hall, dismissing me as "nothing but an asset under my name to provide entertainment."
My smile froze, the room erupted in laughter, and a cruel kick sent me sprawling, spraining my ankle on the cold marble floor. Karyn mocked me, but it was Chace’s icy gaze that truly shattered me. He dismissed our past, threatening my mother’s grave and my father’s life if I didn't "stay in your place and be an obedient dog."
The man I bled for, starved for, fought for, was a complete stranger, a monster veiled in cold disdain. My heartbreak bled out, replaced by a reckless, destructive madness. This wasn't just humiliation; it was an execution.
Retreating to the lavish restroom, my mind sharpened. I unblocked a forbidden number, a name whispered with terror in the New York underground: Keith Mosley. My text was brief: "I am ready to pay my debt." His reply flashed, stark and dominant: "The price is marriage." This wasn't a price; it was my knife.
