"I won't force myself on you, Emma. Don't worry. I have all the patience in the world. Slowly, you will see how kind I am. And you'll fall in love with me."

"Why would I fall in love with you? I don't even know what you look like."

Adam was left speechless. "I am a handsome man. Come. Touch my face."

Emmeline withdrew her arms. "I will not touch you."

Adam felt a bit disheartened. Emmeline was right. How could she fall in love with him when she couldn't see him? No matter. It was but a matter of time until Emmeline gave in. When that happened, he could restore her eyesight.

"Are you planning to keep me here forever?" asked Emmeline.

"Yes. Forever."

"My family will get me out of here. I will leave soon," Emmeline uttered.

"But I know many ways to make them fail." Adam then patted Emmeline's head. "Stay here, my love."

"Go away!" Emmeline swatted Adam's hand away and moved further. She was drugged. She couldn't see. She had no way to fend off the pervert that imprisoned her.

"Mr. Anthony, the doctor said it's time to change her dressing." A voice came from outside the door.

"Let him in," ordered Adam. "Behave now. The doctor is here to change your dressing. It won't hurt. I'll be here."

"Okay." Emmeline nodded. Her wound needed to be treated.

Moments later, Henry came with a medical kit.

"Be gentle with her. I don't want to see Miss Louise wince from pain here," instructed Adam.

"Yes, Master," answered Henry. Almost instantaneously, a strong grip seized his throat. Henry wanted to scream but Adam already covered Henry's mouth with his hand. That was when Henry noticed his fatal mistake. Adam had told him to address Adam as Mr. Anthony, not "Master". Adam shot an angry look at Henry. Henry nodded frantically, to apologize and to beg for mercy.

"I meant to say Mr. Anthony." Henry corrected himself once Adam removed his hand from Henry's mouth.

"Do your job now."

"Miss Louise, I'll change your dressing now."
