Emma had almost succeeded in living her life normally. She was doing fine. But that man resurfaced in Emma's life as Prince Anderson, who led the royal legal affairs team. He not only appeared in Emma's life but also forced her to look back. To revisit memories she desperately wanted to forget.

Not even God. ~~~ Emma's tears flowed, voice cracked and pained, "Even if I were to die," her despair remained, "I'll hate you forever, it's only fair. Don't come to my funeral, don't you dare, set foot at my graveside, expect no embrace, Don't ever anticipate my heart's forgiving grace. I'll spend my days, my bones, in hatred's grip. A love once cherished, now a sinking ship. ~~~ "I've just killed someone with my own hands. Ah, this is how deep my love for you is, Emma. I would kill for you, and you've just witnessed it with your own eyes." ... "I'm here... don't be scared... this time I'm not leaving you, unlike before when I left you." ... "I was stupid. I am sorry. I regret it with every breath I take. I wish there was a way to turn back time to fix the past. But despite everything I can do, I can't. So, I sincerely apologize, even though I know I don't have the right to do so." !!!Explicit adult content above chapter 100 and will be informed at the beginning of the chapter.

Ambrose Lysander has arrived. Beyond the iron-wrought gates of the Ashford estate, the grand halls await—lavish, opulent, and brimming with secrets. From this moment on, he is the butler. Polished. Obedient. Invisible. But a fortress is best conquered from within. He was carrying a tray of polished glasses when he saw him. Carmine Ashford. The golden boy. The beloved heir. "You don't look like the others," Carmine murmured, watching him too closely. He hated even more how his breath hitched when Ambrose’s thumb grazed his nape, straightening the collar of his undershirt. "I'm just following orders, sir." A polite lie. "Will you be abducting me personally, Mr. Lysander?" Ambrose smiled. So slight, so fleeting, it barely existed. "That would be highly improper." And yet, Carmine swore he felt it. The silk cravat tightening just enough to remind him who was truly in control. #BL #DarkAcademia #HistoricalRomanceFantasy #Romance #PowerPlay #Phsycological #Revenge #NSFW #ButlerYoungMaster
