She pressured her into consuming bag after bag of traditional medicine and undergoing various examinations. That still wasn’t enough, though. Ceci was wholeheartedly in love with him, yet he was always fixated on other women. He even personally ruined the company her father had single–handedly established… Although Nathaniel has never laid a hand on Cecilia, his actions were far worse than hitting
