Chapter 3

When Adrian returned, he found his room completely trashed by me.

He hugged me from behind like a madman, shouting my name passionately and forcibly occupying me.

I stared at the ceiling in despair, thinking that with Ace being unwell, he must have mistaken me for her.

It was always like this. Every time he came back from Ace, he would violently make love to me, then use the gentlest tone to coax me, even doing things to please me.

Afterward, his tone softened, and there was even a trace of tenderness in his gaze.

He put a ring on my ring finger.

I looked at the glittering diamond ring on my ring finger and dropped my finger.

The diamond ring slipped to the floor.

Adrian's expression was stunned for two seconds.

"How can this be? This is the size of the wedding ring we picked out three years ago."

I scoffed, "The size is correct, but it's the size from three years ago."

In the three years I was in prison, Adrian never visited me once.

The Bailey family, having lost their son, naturally made sure I was well taken care of in prison.

The current me was withered. I was no longer the girl who was full of spiritual energy.

Adrian held me tighter.

"A wedding ring is just a ring, Emma. When we have time, we can pick out a better one."

A wedding ring symbolizes love and eternal commitment.

The wedding ring represents eternal love, and I will always love you.

But I don't love you anymore, Adrian. Why would I need a wedding ring?

When she woke up the next day, there was no one next to her.

The door was locked.

I pounded on the door with all my might. Again and again... until my wrist turned purple and blood dripped on the floor.

The doctor rushed in and bandaged my wound.

Seeing the doctor arrive on time, I was stunned. I looked around and saw the camera in the room.

In the afternoon, Adrian rushed back from the company to apply medicine to my wounds.

He gently untied the gauze on my hand, applied the medicine, and then bandaged it again.

"Emma, don't hurt yourself," Adrian said.

He had said this before when his company had just been established.

To secure a contract, I drank with clients until I had a stomach hemorrhage.

He ran to the hospital, his eyes full of pity.

"Emma, no matter what, don't hurt yourself."

I smiled at him, saying it was nothing, waving the contract I had just secured.

After he left, I tore off the bandage and washed away the ointment he had just applied.

Adrian took away my phone, saying my emotions were unstable and that it was for my safety that I had to stay here.

In reality, he was cutting off my contact with the outside world, completely imprisoning me here.

Adrian, you really would stop at nothing to make me give in.

While I was trapped in this room, Ace could come and go as she pleased.

She stood in front of me, looking like a winner.

"Emma, I heard Adrian is going to marry you. Congratulations. He said he doesn't want me to deal with social engagements, and you're just the right person for that."

I am indeed suitable.

Since the year Adrian founded his company, I was by his side.

I accompanied him to secure investments, recruit talent, and handle difficult clients, drinking until I had a stomach hemorrhage.

Finally, after three years, Adrian's company went public, and I went to prison.

I ignored Ace, but she wouldn't let it go.

"Emma, what makes you so high and mighty?"

"Don't you know? Three years ago, it was Adrian and I who set you up. How else could we get rid of you and kick you out of the company?"
