It’s off-putting in the first … 50 chapters with the ML treating the FL like dirt, insulting her, cheating on her publicly and even almost killing her.
After almost killing her, the FL still can’t bear to leave him and his family because she’s just oh so nice. The story turns dark and sickening with an abusive ML to an love-enlightened but still darkly obsessed ML who realizes he can’t lose his toy.
I keep holding a tiny bit of hope that this novel will redeem itself but it’s super dark, super abusive. If you like a “strong” public image FL who bends over backwards to the point of being willing to let the ML physically harm her however he likes (and no, I do not mean kinky BDSM stuff, but serious dark domestic abuse in the name of love), this novels for you.
