Trapped In The Love I Died For

Synopsis

I spent twelve years by Jonathan Sterling's side. I went from a dirty street kid to his chief secretary. He taught me how to read, hired the best tutors for me, and sent me abroad for my MBA, but he never let things go any further between us. Then I lost my hand saving the woman he loved. He stood outside my hospital room with red-rimmed eyes and begged, "Emily... don't look at me like that. Please say something." That was only the second time I'd ever seen him lose control. The first time was when I handed in my resignation before leaving for grad school. He smashed his favorite vase right in front of everyone and told me to never forget my place. I thought we had a simple arrangement—he gave me a new life, and I gave him my loyalty. Nothing more, nothing less. But then twenty-eight-year-old Jonathan Sterling got down on his knees in front of me and asked for another chance. That's when I finally understood. He was the one who'd been stuck in the past all along.
