Under the spotlight, I stood by the side of the powerful head of the Nelson family, his head bowed protectively toward me, our fingers tightly entwined, intimate and inseparable. All eyes were on us, and the affection between us was impossible to hide. Theodore finally panicked and called me. "Abigail, who the hell is he?" Then, a deep, indulgent voice came through the phone, laced with unmistakable possessiveness. "Hey, Mr. Green, let me introduce myself. I'm her husband."
