She immediately went after him. “Please forgive Emilia. I promise she won’t complain again no matter what you want her to do.”

The man ignored her, and his bodyguards came forward to stop Emilia and Miranda from getting any closer to him.

Emilia’s loud wails filled the air and her resentment was palpable.
