Why does he want to force me into marriage? That question just keeps playing over and over in my head. Besides, it’s not like there’s anything here to distract me from my thoughts. Everything that has happened since my father found me is weighing on me. It’s just overwhelming. I’m not even sure what I’m supposed to be feeling right now.

I fiddle with the hem of my shirt—Antonio’s shirt really—as I sit on the edge of his bed, staring at the wall. I don't want to be forced into marriage. If I were entirely honest with myself, I do want to marry him. It’s just I’m tired of my entire life being out of my control. I want to wait until I know that I mean more to Antonio than just sex. I’m afraid he will eventually find me as unworthy of love as my family has and the fear of that is stifling. The ache of a possible heartbreak makes me rub my chest as I realize how deeply I care for this man. I wouldn't survive if he cast me aside. It would destroy me.

The man literally sucks the air out of a room when he enters. With his confidence and cool demeanor, he's so far out of my league I'm not sure I believe him when he tells me he wants me. I think maybe I’m afraid to believe. I’m simple and plain compared to him. I’ve been told that often enough and now they just serve as a reminder of the differences between me and this larger-than-life man. Seriously, he's like lightning in a bottle. How am I supposed to hold onto him without getting burned?

A knock on the door makes me jump and pulls me from my wayward thoughts. I right his shirt the best I can, knowing if it was Antonio, he wouldn’t knock. He’d just barge in.

"Come in," I call out, hoping my clothes are being sent up to me. It stands to reason that my potential husband would be too busy to deal with such a trivial issue. I can’t marry him. I let out a trembling sigh, trying to rein in my thoughts once more so I can concentrate. Hopefully that will begin with finally getting dressed.

The door opens and this beautiful woman is standing in the open doorway. She's so pretty that it's hard to look at her because I’m afraid I’ll gawk and make a fool of myself. She’s got dark hair that falls down her back in large waves. Her lips are full and perfect with these high cheekbones that I would die for. She is definitely model pretty. I feel dowdy even standing next to her. The most striking thing about her, however, are her blue eyes which are unlike any color I’ve ever seen before. I'm instantly nervous and on edge, but the woman’s smile is warm and sincere, pushing away my unease. Something I've never experienced before.

“Sorry to intrude Melina. Antonio sent me up. I'm Emilia,” she explains with a soft smile.
