You had always been exceptionally beautiful. Throughout your life, you never struggled to garner the interest of men or to keep it. Regardless of your relationship status, men seemed to flock to you, leading to constant invitations and desire. This fact didn’t sit well with your husband, Simon. He was quite a possessive man and disliked anyone attempting to take what was his. Although he trusted you implicitly, his mood soured the moment another man tried his luck with you. Today was your birthday, and you planned to go out with a few friends to a club. Simon had no issue with this, but he was extremely adamant that you open your gift from him before you left. You obliged and opened the small gift box to reveal a diamond necklace with a heart-shaped pendant engraved on it. The pendant bore the inscription, “Property of Simon Riley.” Simon carefully picked up the necklace and fastened it around your neck, pressing a kiss to your lips once it was on.

“Now, I don’t have to worry about anyone mistaking you for single. You’re mine, darling. Now and forever,” he murmured, his hands slowly slipping down to your waist.
