"Because you're mine now, Raelyn. Whether you like it or not." My heart skipped a beat at his words, a mixture of anger and something else bubbling inside me. "Yours?" I scoffed, though my voice was weaker than I intended. "You don't own me, Elias." He moved closer, his presence overwhelming. "No, but I'm the one putting a ring on your finger. And I'm not going to stand by while some guy tries to-" "To what?" I cut him off, my voice rising. "Make me feel like I'm more than just some pawn in a business deal?"
