03:43down onto the bed you lay another hand on me and my husband will find you i pushed back against
03:48him
03:48but he caught both my wrists and held me there stop lying to me i know you emily
03:56emily you're getting brave three years i waited and you come back wearing another man's ring
04:03i went still in his grip then he went still too his eyes had caught the pale marks on my
04:08wrist
04:08the ones that never quite faded he released me and stepped back a frantic knocking started at the
04:14bedroom door he's going to kill me it's all right lena it wasn't your fault if he hadn't hurt you
04:20you
04:20wouldn't have fought back it was an accident it's over i'm right here you're safe his low soothing
04:27voice carried back into the room my hands shook when i pushed my hair back i felt the cold damp
04:32on
04:32my cheeks i made it to the door and hammered my fists against it my hands went numb from pounding
04:37no one came i curled up in the corner and whispered his name dammit when are you going to find
04:42me
04:42i spent the whole night in that room the housekeeper didn't open the door until the next morning
04:47carter was downstairs working through the financial section the moment he saw me he started reeling off
04:53orders selena's craving your chicken soup go make some mason's milk needs to be at room temperature
04:59my shirts need pressing too the maids don't iron them as well as you do the words drove straight into
05:05my bones before i could even think my feet were already carrying me toward the kitchen my hand
05:11had closed around the apron before i caught myself i stormed back out shaking from head to foot you're
05:16holding me here against my will i'm calling the police emily what's the act this time i was about
05:24to fire back when my eyes caught on the paper damon's photo was on the front page he'd been at
05:28a charity
05:29gala the week before i jabbed my finger down at it my voice rising that's my husband if you don't
05:35believe me call him carter's eyes narrowed and he opened his mouth to speak emily is this some kind
05:43of joke everyone in manhattan knows damon vance doesn't have women in his life even his pets are
05:48male the quinn group is in the middle of a deal with the vance group not a single mention of
05:53a wife
05:53i bawled my fists and started to argue back then a sharp pain stabbed through my skull the old head
05:59injury flaring without warning but i can't worry about that right now not the dizziness not now
06:04the front door was unguarded emily where are you going something deep in me came apart i wrenched
06:12her hand off and shoved her away hard enough to make her stumble carter she hurt me emily
06:22have you lost your mind apologize to her now you hurt my mom i sank to the floor the tears
06:28came
06:29without me asking i pressed my palms to the floor and tried to steady myself swansom shoved me from
06:34behind i stumbled and caught myself against the wall my head wound has reopened please everything tilted
06:42the dizziness hit me all at once and i couldn't hold myself upright i tried to push myself up the
06:49room
06:49when i came to the sharp bite of disinfectant hit me me low voices nearby a skull fracture amnesia what
07:01is this supposed to mean mr quinn it's dispostiative amnesia a defense mechanism the brain triggers after
07:07severe trauma she's been living in a mansion how is that impossible she has lacerations on her scalp
07:14a hairline skull fracture and signs of repeated head trauma this is consistent with long-term physical
07:20abuse i'll get to the bottom of every bit of it but that head injury is severe if we don't
07:26operate
07:26immediately she may never wake up they were going to operate on my brain without asking me without my
07:32consent a few nurses came in something bitter was pressed between my lips please don't he leaned down and
07:40laid his palm over my eyes i went under when i opened my eyes again i was back at the
07:48quinn estate
07:48i was strapped into a reclining chair a cold metal headset had been clamped around my skull
07:53some kind of medical device for stimulating memory emily you're awake carter just told me about your
08:01little memory issue don't you worry we're going to help you remember the dull throb at the back of my
08:07skull pulsed like a second heartbeat and my heart broke all over again carter knelt down at my side
08:13his eyes bloodshot and kissed the tears off my face the doctor said this neurostimulation course should
08:19bring it all back once you remember my head shaking all over to the last one and about the treatment
08:26i
08:27ordered it for your sake i hope you understand that no i don't know you please do it carter roses
08:33and gave
08:34the order the device was activated a wave of pressure built behind my eyes inside my skull inside my
08:40chest my vision went white everything went dark and then the dam inside me gave way i remember eight
08:47years of agony so deep it had broken something inside me that would never heal
08:55the first time i ever saw carter i was working part-time as a singer at a bar he fell
09:01for me on
09:01site he bought out the entire venue he sent roses enough to line both sides of the street from the
09:10bar
09:10to my college dorm after that designer gift started piling up at my door he came around every day asking
09:17how i was what i needed i knew we lived in different worlds so i kept him at arm's length
09:22then my
09:23gambling addict father sold me to an underground auction house to settle his debts
09:31carter walked in alone he fought his way through every man in that room to reach me
09:40he fought his way through every man in that room to reach me
09:44he was battered and barely standing but he carried me out the whole way step by step
09:51emily you are everything to me if you die i die because of those words i became mrs quinn
10:00then carter's older brother adrian came back from abroad with selena on his arm from the scraps of
10:05conversation between carter and his friends i pieced together that she was carter's first love the one he
10:11had never been able to put behind him from that day on carter became someone else his whole focus
10:17shifted to her every gift he had ever bought me he gave to her she said she didn't want another
10:24woman
10:24in the role of the queen family's lady of the house so carter asked me for a divorce she wanted
10:29a child
10:30but she was terrified of the pain of childbirth
10:34so my son the child i had nearly died to bring into the world was handed over to her
10:39every time i tried to push back carter waved my dying mother's medical bills in my face
10:45to keep paying for my mother's care i became selena's standing i took every consequence that
10:51should have been hers i pushed back exactly once they stopped paying my mother's hospital bills
10:56her heart gave out i didn't even get to say goodbye something hollowed out inside me i tried to leave
11:02with my son carter stopped me he forced me to serve out selena's sentence in her place
11:11selena had killed adrian in a moment of desperation fighting back against a man who had beaten her for
11:16years and i was the one paying for it i can't go to prison what about mason that day i
11:27stood in the room
11:29ripping the hem of his jacket he held selena tight against him

14:37other inmates made clear i wasn't welcome i was an outsider a rich man's wife who had no business
14:44being there the harassment never stopped i was isolated cornered threatened sleep became something

14:55next morning
14:57three years every single day i prayed for it to end the day i got out carter sent people to
15:04collect me
15:05i knew their faces they were the same people who had made those three years a living nightmare
15:10something inside me snapped just like that i threw myself out of the moving car another car
15:16i went over the bridge railing into the river below i opened my eyes everything was sharp and clear now
15:23i looked at the two of them they weren't strangers anymore a hatred i'd buried deep flooded every
15:28nerve in my body carter pulled me into his arms and brushed the tears from my face baby do you
15:34remember
15:35now i remember and i'll never forgive you you killed my mother
15:48what's wrong with my wife carter hesitated his eyes on the vial he had just started to speak when the
15:54maid knocked
15:58probably about the partnership you go take care of it carter i've got emily
16:04the door clicked shut the sweetness on selena's face dropped away in an instant like a mask torn off
16:12she caught my chin in her hand her face pure venom stupid little fool why'd you come back any woman
16:18who
16:18dares to take carter from me i destroy you should have stayed gone the instant she leaned in i drove
16:26my
16:26foot hard into her stomach the strap snapped i broke through the door downstairs damon stopped in his
16:33tracks as he was heading out he spun around at the sound of my voice his face going white
16:46he watched me burst through the door drenched in blood and then i went straight over the
16:51second floor
16:55get the doctor down here now
17:01carter reached me first he hauled me into his arms and roared up the staircase the house physician came
17:07running with his bag and they closed in around me what did you do to my wife that was damon
17:14he grabbed
17:14carter by the collar and drove his fist into his face then he drew the knife in the belt and
17:19scooped me
17:19up off the floor the blade swept the room in a slow cold arc he spoke through his teeth anyone
17:25who lays
17:26another hand on my wife is dead mr vance the car is ready we'll take her to the hospital now
17:35his warmth closed around me familiar and safe i found the last of my strength and nodded my fingers
17:41in his shirt the tears finally broke free my throat locked up and i couldn't find the words
17:46you came i held on my hand shaking then the blood loss pulled me under the last thing i saw
17:54before the
17:54dark took me was the rage in damon's eyes and the tears running down his face
18:00he turned to carry me out carter planted himself in the doorway his face twisted his eyes red raw
18:07vance you don't get to march an army into my house and walk out with my wife
18:12our families have a partnership you can't do this
18:30carter
18:34have you lost your mind this is quinn property you dare
18:39a sharp fat cover off before she could finish the sentence one of damon's men backhanded her
18:44across the face she screamed and dropped the broken glass on the floor opened her cheek and the blood
18:49came fast mason stood at the top of the spiral staircase watching it all screaming the nanny had
18:57her arms locked around him one hand pressed over his mouth
19:01and then glanced at the boy he went still for half a second then he looked away and she is
19:08my wife
19:08if she loses one more drop of blood because of you i will repay it a thousand fold those sharp
19:14unreadable eyes were burning now fury had swallowed them whole carter could do nothing but stand there
19:20seething as damon carried me away the quinn family was one of new york's elite but measured against the
19:26vances they were nothing he couldn't make sense of it how had someone like emily shaw plain
19:32unremarkable ended up tangled with damon vance carter pressed his hand against his shoulder the
19:37color in his face was getting worse ambulance please selena was already crying into her phone calling
19:42an ambulance carter my face am i going to scar carter pulled her against him and rubbed slow circles
19:48on her back his voice wasn't quite steady lena what if emily was telling the truth what if she really
19:54did marry damon vance the image of eye nestled against a man so far beyond her reach selena's
19:59jealousy nearly choked her that's impossible something like that we would have heard about it
20:05never damon must have been manipulated i don't believe for a second that a man like him would
20:11stay with her if he knew she'd done time or knew how sick she really is she's nothing she's garbage
20:18you
20:18threw out carter went very still he had never seen selena like this before the venom in her voice was
20:24sharp and ugly and it sent a chill through him but he'd lost too much blood to think straight he
20:29intended to bring his son with him he also intended to bring emily back the quinn family was one of
20:34new
20:34york's elite but measured against the vances they were nothing he couldn't make sense of it how had
20:40someone like emily shaw plain unremarkable ended up tangled with damon vance carter pressed his hand
20:46against his shoulder the color in his face was getting worse ambulance please selena was already
20:51crying into her phone calling an ambulance carter my face am i going to scar carter pulled her against
20:56him and rubbed slow circles on her back his voice wasn't quite steady lena what if emily was telling
21:03the truth what if she really did marry damon vance the image of eye nestled against a man so far
21:08beyond her reach selena's jealousy nearly choked her that's impossible something like that we would
21:14have heard about it never damon must have been manipulated i don't believe for a second that
21:20a man like him would stay with her if he knew she'd done time or knew how sick she really
21:25is
21:25she's nothing she's garbage you threw out carter went very still he had never seen selena like this
21:32before the venom in her voice was sharp and ugly and it sent a chill through him but he'd lost
21:37too much
21:37blood to think straight he intended to bring his son with him he also intended to bring emily back
21:42i'd lost too much blood they rushed me straight into the icu the memories kept surfacing one after
21:49another they were worse than i'd let myself remember in my most vulnerable moments carter had taken selena
21:55to see a fortune teller the fortune teller told them that my sickness carried a curse that as long as
22:01i
22:01recovered selena would be plagued with misfortune at first i'd laughed it off it was absurd that same
22:07night carter had me dragged to a clinic and strapped down they cut off my treatment they replaced my
22:13medication with something designed to make me worse i survived it then they came at me harder then again
22:20after that the pain hit me all at once and i couldn't breathe i jolted awake soaked in cold sweat
22:33baby you're finally awake david why did it take you so long do you have any idea how scared i
22:42was
22:42i swear to you i will make them pay for every single thing i'm here now emily no one is
22:47going to hurt
22:47you again they destroyed my body i'm here now emily no one is going to hurt you again i'd heard
22:54those words before the very first day i met him i'd fallen into the river he was nearby on a
22:59yacht
22:59hosting a lavish dinner he sent his people to pull me out and brought in the best medical team money
23:04could buy when i woke up my first thought was that the prison guards had caught me again i came
23:08apart
23:09i tried to end it more than once damon stayed with me through all of it telling me over and
23:13over that
23:13i was safe no one will ever hurt you again his voice was warm as sunlight the trauma took my
23:19memories with it what remained was all the time i'd spent with damon the day i was finally well
23:23enough to stand on my own he proposed he was afraid that another shock might trigger a relapse
23:28so we kept the marriage private we had planned to hold a proper wedding once i made a full recovery
23:33i hadn't expected carter to make me this sick again this time it was worse than before i told
23:39damon everything every detail of the two days i'd lost this is my fault i never should have left
23:46your side rest now emily i'll handle everything damon had been overseas closing a deal i didn't
23:53blame him his assistant told me that the moment damon heard i was missing he walked away from a
23:58contract worth millions without a second thought he'd cried the entire flight home but now that every
24:04memory of carter had come back to me ab couldn't stop the doubt from creeping in even toward damon would
24:09he really stay the same would he eventually betray me destroy me the way carter had my mind wouldn't
24:14quiet i closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep damon said nothing with hands that weren't quite
24:19steady he tucked the blanket carefully around me wait for me carter and selena were already waiting
24:25at the hospital entrance they tried to force their way in and were stopped by damon's men damon walked
24:30out rolling up his sleeve the moment he laid eyes on fire he swung without hesitating
24:42phil how dare you put your hands on emily i had spent so long watching her become the woman she
24:47was

26:53connected with carter's face and two teeth skidded across the floor carter raised his chin defiant

27:19cigarette without hurry he was raising it to his lips when he remembered he'd promised me he'd quit
27:25he bent down and pressed the burning hand against selena's face if you don't know how to use your mouth
27:31properly you shouldn't have one every bit of pain you made emily feel i'm giving back to you tenfold
27:37carter's nerve finally broke he stared at damon like he was looking at something that had lost

28:02thought about everything they had done to her he didn't hesitate if emily is angry with me i'll spend
28:06the rest of my life making it up to her but the two of you are going to pay back
28:10every last thing you
28:11owe he turned to go then paused and gave the guards one final order bring the boy up to emily's
28:17room

28:28selena when he finished he watched my face carefully and waited without a word i smiled and took his
28:33hand damon let out a slow breath and pulled me against him the relief in his eyes was almost
28:40unbearable like a man who had just come back from the edge of losing everything emily i know what you've
