01:03wrist
01:03and hauled me into him we were close enough to breathe each other's air and the anger in his
01:07eyes was unmistakable emily three years inside and you still haven't learned nobody's buying the
01:12performance something tore open in my chest my throat locked up and the air wouldn't come
01:16a formless terror climbed through me then a woman stepped out of the house

03:43down onto the bed you lay another hand on me and my husband will find you i pushed back against
03:48him

03:55emily 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
04:13bedroom 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 wouldn't have fought back it was an accident it's over i'm right here you're safe his low
04:26soothing voice carried back into the room my hands shook when i pushed my hair back i felt the cold
04:31damp on my cheeks i made it to the door and hammered my fists against it my hands went numb
04:36from
04:36pounding no one came i curled up in the corner and whispered his name over and over when are you
04:41going to find me i spent the whole night in that room the housekeeper didn't open the door until the
04:46next morning carter was downstairs working through the financial section the moment he saw me he
04:52started reeling off orders selena's craving your chicken soup go make some mason's milk needs to be
04:58at room temperature my shirts need pressing too the maids don't iron them as well as you do the words
05:05drove straight into my bones before i could even think my feet were already carrying me toward the
05:09kitchen my hand had closed around the apron before i caught myself i stormed back out shaking from head
05:15to foot you're holding me here against my will i'm calling the police emily what's the act this time
05:23i was about to fire back when my eyes caught on the paper damon's photo was on the front page
05:27he'd been
05:28at a charity gala the week before i jabbed my finger down at it my voice rising that's my husband
05:34if you don't believe me call him carter's eyes narrowed and he opened his mouth to speak
05:41emily is this some kind of joke everyone in manhattan knows damon vance doesn't have women in his life
05:47even his pets are male the quinn group is in the middle of a deal with the vance group not
05:52a single
05:52mention of a wife i bawled my fists and started to argue back then a sharp pain stabbed through my
05:58skull
05:58the old head injury flaring without warning but i can't worry about that right now not the dizziness
06:03not now the front door was unguarded
06:08emily where are you going something deep in me came apart i wrenched her hand off and shoved her
06:13away hard enough to make her stumble carter she hurt me emily have you lost your mind apologize to her
06:25now you hurt my mom i sank to the floor the tears came without me asking i pressed my palms
06:31to the
06:31floor and tried to steady myself swansom shoved me from behind i stumbled and caught myself against
06:36the wall my head wound has reopened please everything tilted the dizziness hit me all at once and i
06:44couldn't hold myself upright i tried to push myself up the room reeled everything went black
06:53when 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
07:40and laid his palm over my eyes i went under when i opened my eyes again i was back at
07:47the quinn 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
08:19should bring it all back once you remember my head shaking all over to the last one and about the
08:26treatment i ordered it for your sake i hope you understand that no i don't know you please do it
08:32carter rose and gave the order the device was activated a wave of pressure built behind my eyes
08:38inside my skull inside my chest my vision went white everything went dark and then the dam inside
08:44me gave way i remember eight years of agony so deep it had broken something inside me that would never
08:50heal
08:55the first time i ever saw carter i was working part-time as a singer at a bar he fell
09:00for me on
09:01sight he bought out the entire venue he sent roses enough to line both sides of the street from the
09:10bar to my college dorm after that designer gifts started piling up at my door he came around every
09:16day asking how i was what i needed i knew we lived in different worlds so i kept him at
09:21arm's length
09:22then my gambling 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 he was battered and barely standing
09:46but he carried me out the whole way step by step
09:51emily you are everything to me if you die i die
09:55because 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
10:10the one he had never been able to put behind him from that day on carter became someone else
10:16his whole focus shifted to her
10:19every gift he had ever bought me he gave to her
10:22she said she didn't want another woman in the role of the quinn family's lady of the house so carter
10:27asked
10:27me for a divorce she wanted a child but 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 stand-in
10:49i took every consequence that should have been hers
10:52i pushed back exactly once
10:54they stopped paying my mother's hospital bills
10:56her heart gave out
10:57i didn't even get to say goodbye
10:59something hollowed out inside me
11:01i tried to leave with my son
11:03carter stopped me
11:04he forced me to serve out selena's sentence in her place
11:10selena had killed adrian in a moment of desperation
11:13fighting back against a man who had beaten her for years
11:16and i was the one paying for it
11:20i can't go to prison
11:24what about mason

14:24selena is too fragile his voice was as cold as deep winter she wouldn't survive in there you're strong
14:31you've always been strong when you get out we'll make it up to you from my first day inside the
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
14:50i had to steal in minutes at a time there were days i didn't think i'd make it to the
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 i knew their faces they were the same people who had made those three years a living
15:09nightmare something inside me snapped just like that i threw myself out of the moving car another
15:16car kicked me i went over the bridge railing into the river below i opened my eyes everything was
15:21sharp and clear now i looked at the two of them they weren't strangers anymore a hatred i'd buried
15:27deep flooded every nerve in my body carter pulled me into his arms and brushed the tears from my face
15:33baby do you remember now 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
15:54knocked
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
16:11she caught my chin in her hand her face pure venom you stupid little fool why'd you come back any
16:18woman who dares to take carter from me i destroy you should have stayed gone the instant she leaned in
16:25i drove my foot hard into her stomach the strap snapped i broke through the door downstairs damon stopped
16:33in his tracks as he was heading out he spun around at the sound of my voice his face going
16:38white
16:46he watched me burst through the door drenched in blood and then i went straight over the second floor
16:55get the doctor down here now
17:01carter reached me first he hauled me into his arms and roared up the staircase
17:05the house physician came running with his bag and they closed in around me
17:10what did you do to my wife that was damon he grabbed carter by the collar and drove his fist
17:16into his face then he drew the knife in the belt and scooped me up off the floor the blade
17:20swept
17:21the room in a slow cold arc he spoke through his teeth anyone who lays another hand on my wife
17:28is 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 daemon's eyes and the tears running down his face he turned to carry
18:01me out carter planted himself in the doorway his face twisted his eyes red raw vance you don't get
18:08to march an army into my house and walk out with my wife our families have a partnership you can't
18:15do this
18:34have you lost your mind this is quinn property you dare a sharp fat cut her off before she could
18:41finish the sentence one of daemon's men backhanded her across the face
18:45she screamed and dropped the broken glass on the floor opened her cheek and the blood came fast
18:51mason stood at the top of the spiral staircase watching it all screaming
18:55the nanny had her arms locked around him one hand pressed over his mouth
19:01demon glanced at the boy he went still for half a second then he looked away and she is my
19:08wife if
19:09she 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 daemon 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 unremarkable
19:33ended up tangled with daemon vance carter pressed his hand against his shoulder the color in his face was
19:38getting worse ambulance please selena was already crying into her phone calling an ambulance carter
19:43my face am i going to scar carter pulled her against him and rubbed slow circles on her back
19:48his voice wasn't quite steady lena what if emily was telling the truth what if she really did marry
19:55daemon vance the image of eye nestled against a man so far beyond her reach selena's jealousy nearly
20:00choked her that's impossible something like that we would have heard about it never daemon must have
20:06been manipulated i don't believe for a second that a man like him would stay with her if he knew
20:12she'd
20:13done time or knew how sick she really is she's nothing she's garbage you threw out carter went very
20:19still he had never seen selena like this before the venom in her voice was sharp and ugly and it
20:25sent
20:25a chill through him but he'd lost too much blood to think straight he intended to bring his son with
20:30him he also intended to bring emily back the quinn family was one of new york's elite but measured
20:36against the vances they were nothing he couldn't make sense of it how had someone like emily shaw
20:41plain unremarkable ended up tangled with daemon vance carter pressed his hand against his shoulder
20:47the color in his face was getting worse ambulance please selena was already crying into her phone
20:52calling an ambulance carter my face am i going to scar carter pulled her against him and rubbed slow
20:57circles on her back his voice wasn't quite steady lena what if emily was telling the truth what if she
21:04really did marry daemon vance the image of eye nestled against a man so far beyond her reach selena's
21:09jealousy nearly choked her that's impossible something like that we would have heard about it
21:15never damon must have been manipulated i don't believe for a second that a man like him would
21:21stay with her if he knew she'd done time or knew how sick she really is she's nothing she's garbage
21:28you threw out carter went very still he had never seen selena like this before the venom in her voice
21:33was sharp and ugly and it sent a chill through him but he'd lost too much blood to think straight
21:38he intended to bring his son with him he also intended to bring emily back i'd lost too much
21:44blood they rushed me straight into the icu the memories kept surfacing one after another they were
21:50worse than i'd let myself remember in my most vulnerable moments carter had taken selena to see
21:55a fortune teller the fortune teller told them that my sickness carried a curse that as long as i recovered
22:02selena would be plagued with misfortune at first i'd laughed it off it was absurd that same night
22:07carter had me dragged to a clinic and strapped down they cut off my treatment they replaced my medication
22:14with something designed to make me worse i survived it then they came at me harder then again after that
22:20the pain hit me all at once and i couldn't breathe i jolted awake soaked in cold sweat baby
22:33you're finally awake
22:38david why did it take you so long do you have any idea how scared i was i swear to
22:43you i will make them
22:44pay for every single thing i'm here now emily no one's gonna hurt you again they destroyed my body i'm
22:49here now emily no one is going to hurt you again i'd heard those words before the very first day
22:56i
22:56met him i'd fallen into the river he was nearby on a yacht hosting a lavish dinner he sent his
23:01people
23:01to pull me out and brought in the best medical team money could buy when i woke up my first
23:05thought
23:06was that the prison guards had caught me again i came apart i tried to end it more than once
23:10damon
23:11stayed with me through all of it telling me over and over that i was safe no one will ever
23:15hurt you
23:15again his voice was warm as sunlight the trauma took my memories with it what remained was all the
23:20time i'd spent with demon the day i was finally well enough to stand on my own he proposed he
23:25was
23:25afraid that another shock might trigger a relapse so we kept the marriage private we had planned to
23:30hold a proper wedding once i made a full recovery i hadn't expected carter to make me this sick again
23:36this time it was worse than before i told damon everything every detail of the two days i'd lost
23:42this is my fault i never should have left your side rest now emily i'll handle everything
23:49damon had been overseas closing a deal i didn't blame him his assistant told me that the moment
23:55damon heard i was missing he walked away from a contract worth millions without a second thought
24:00he'd cried the entire flight home but now that every memory of carter had come back to me abe couldn't
24:06stop the doubt from creeping in even toward damon would he really stay the same would he eventually
24:11betray me destroy me the way carter had my mind wouldn't quiet i closed my eyes and pretended
24:16to be asleep damon said nothing with hands that weren't quite steady he tucked the blanket carefully
24:21around me wait for me carter and selena were already waiting at the hospital entrance they tried
24:26to force their way in and were stopped by damon's men damon walked out rolling up his sleeve was
24:32in fact the moment he laid eyes on fire he swung without hesitating
