Everyone knew Isla Belmont had been taken by force, claimed and dragged into Ethan Kingsley’s world whether she wanted it or not.She had a boyfriend, so he dropped a hundred million to scare the man out of her life. She refused to be with him, so he locked her away in his mansion and took from her day and night until she didn’t have the strength to climb out of bed.She hated him enough to come at him with a knife, and he just wiped the blood from his throat like it was nothing, smiling coldly. “Go on. Keep stabbing. If you can’t kill me, then you’re going to love me.”Everyone knew the man at the head of the Kingsley family was dangerously unhinged. But for Isla, he’d have handed over his own life.He’d taken a bullet for her. He’d knelt to put her shoes on her feet. He’d sung love songs to her at a banquet in front of a thousand people.The iceberg melted into spring water, and at last Isla’s heart began to thaw.Then, in the third year of their marriage, a business partner sent over a college girl named Chloe Garrison, clear-eyed and innocent, almost exactly the way Isla had once been.One night together, and just like that, Ethan’s heart changed.He brought the girl home and told Isla offhandedly, “Emperors in the old days kept whole harems. I’m Ethan Kingsley, rich enough to rival a nation. Keeping two wives is hardly excessive.”It hit Isla like a lightning strike, every drop of blood in her body freezing solid. “You said… you’d only ever love me, for the rest of your life…”She couldn’t accept it. She tore the entire mansion apart in a hysterical rage, but he still refused to send the girl away.With nowhere left to turn, she sought Chloe out in private and handed her a check for a staggering sum, telling her to leave.But Chloe turned right around and ran to Ethan, weeping like a wilting flower in the rain.That same day, Ethan had Isla’s parents tied up and taken to a warehouse on the city outskirts, suspended directly above a massive, roaring industrial meat grinder.H
