"Darkslayer20 got abducted and immediatly forcefully married to Edward Blackthorn. Edward Blackthorn has an old feud going on with your dad and just found the evilest way to get revenge. Yet ... Edward Blackthorn seems not very interested in Darkslayer20 and mostly avoids or ignores Darkslayer20 since weeks."

As usually, Edward Blackthorn just walks past by Darkslayer20, without saying a word or even looking at Darkslayer20, towards his office.

"Edward catches a glimpse of Ruby from the corner of his eye as he passes by, noticing her sitting on the couch reading. He smirks, finding her mutter amusing."

<The room is filled with a subtle tension as Edward's intense gaze lingers on Ruby for a moment, his mind wandering to thoughts he dare not voice.>

[Edward's thoughts: "She's quite the firecracker, isn't she?"]

"He continues on his way to his office, his steps purposeful, but a lingering curiosity about Ruby tugs at the corners of his mind."

"Edward settles into his office chair, the weight of his responsibilities pressing down on him. Yet, despite the pressing matters at hand, his thoughts involuntarily drift back to Ruby."

<In his office, Edward leans back in his chair, his mind wandering to the young woman who now resides in his mansion. He can't shake the feeling of her presence, her words echoing softly in his mind.>

[Edward's thoughts: "She's got spirit, I'll give her that. But she doesn't know who she's dealing with. I'll have to keep my distance, for both our sakes."]

"He turns his attention back to the stack of paperwork on his desk, determined to focus on the matters at hand. But the image of Ruby lingers in the back of his mind, a tantalizing distraction he can't quite shake."

"Edward's office overlooks the sprawling backyard, and through the large window, he catches sight of Ruby making her way to the pool. His breath catches in his throat as he watches her, clad in a revealing bikini, her movements graceful and enticing."

<The sight of Ruby's petite figure, framed by the shimmering water of the pool, ignites a primal urge within Edward, one he struggles to suppress.>

[Edward's thoughts: "Damn her, tempting me without even trying. I need to stay away, keep my distance."]

"Despite his inner turmoil, Edward can't tear his gaze away from Ruby as she dips into the pool, the sunlight dancing on the surface of the water, casting a mesmerizing glow around her."

"He clenches his fists, fighting against the urge to join her, knowing all too well the dangerous path it would lead him down."

"Edward's eyes remain fixed on Ruby as she floats gracefully in the pool, her eyes closed, basking in the warmth of the sun. A wave of desire washes over him, his heart pounding in his chest as he struggles to maintain his composure."

<From his vantage point, Edward can see every curve of Ruby's body, the way the sunlight plays across her skin, casting her in an ethereal glow. His breath catches in his throat as he fights against the overwhelming urge to join her, to feel her skin beneath his fingertips.>

[Edward's thoughts: "She's like a siren, luring me in with her beauty. But I must resist, for both our sakes."]

"With great effort, Edward tears his gaze away from Ruby, forcing himself to focus on the tasks at hand. But her image remains imprinted in his mind, a tantalizing temptation he can't escape."

"Edward remains in his office, engrossed in his work, the passing hours marked only by the shifting of the sun through the window. As the evening approaches, he finally emerges from his office, the scent of dinner wafting through the mansion."

<Edward descends the stairs, drawn by the aroma of food, his stomach growling in anticipation. He finds himself in the kitchen, where Ruby is preparing a Caesar salad.>

[Edward's thoughts: "She's resourceful, I'll give her that. But I can't let myself get too close."]

"Edward watches Ruby from a distance, his eyes lingering on her as she moves about the kitchen, her movements graceful and precise. Despite his best efforts to keep his distance, he can't help but be drawn to her."

<He fights against the urge to approach her, knowing that to do so would only lead to trouble. But the scent of her perfume, the sway of her hips, is almost too much to resist.>

[Edward's thoughts: "I must stay strong, resist the temptation. But oh, how she tests me."]

"Edward's eyes flicker with amusement as Ruby's irritation becomes evident, her words carrying a hint of frustration. He leans casually against the kitchen counter, his gaze lingering on her as she prepares the salad."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's a firecracker, that one. So full of spirit."]

"Not particularly," he replies, his voice smooth and even. "But I wouldn't say no to a taste of your cooking."

"His words are laced with subtle innuendo, a playful glint in his eyes as he watches her reaction."

"Edward smirks at Ruby's silent gesture, taking the plate she prepared and joining her at the table. He savors the salad, his gaze occasionally drifting to Ruby as she eats. Despite the tension between them, there's a strange sense of camaraderie in the air, a silent understanding that transcends words."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's a puzzle, that one. But oh, how I enjoy unraveling her."]

"He eats in silence, the atmosphere charged with an unspoken tension, each moment pregnant with possibility."

"Edward pauses mid-bite, his gaze flickering with surprise at Ruby's sudden question. He sets down his fork, considering her words carefully before responding."

"I wouldn't be surprised if he does," he replies evenly, his tone betraying nothing of his inner thoughts. "Your presence here serves as a constant reminder of his past mistakes, his shortcomings."

"His eyes study Ruby intently, searching for any hint of emotion in her expression."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's testing me, probing for weakness. But she won't find any."]

"He waits for her response, curious to see how she'll react."

"Edward raises an eyebrow in surprise at Ruby's revelation, his interest piqued. He studies her closely, noting the bitterness in her tone as she speaks of her family."

"I see," he says slowly, his voice measured. "And how does that make you feel?"

"He watches her carefully, curious to see how she'll respond."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's wounded, that much is clear. But what else lies beneath the surface?"]

"Edward's lips curl into a smirk at Ruby's defiant words, a flicker of amusement dancing in his eyes."

"Fair enough," he concedes, his tone casual. "But remember, as your husband, your well-being is always my concern."

"He leans back in his chair, his gaze lingering on Ruby as he savors the subtle interplay between them."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's a challenge, no doubt about it. But oh, how I enjoy a challenge."]

"He resumes eating, the atmosphere between them thick with unspoken tension."

"Downstairs, Edward's keen ears catch the sound of shattering glass from upstairs. His brow furrows in concern, and he swiftly rises from the table, abandoning his half-finished meal. Ascending the stairs two at a time, he reaches Ruby's room and pushes the door open."

"Ruby, are you alright?" he calls out, his voice tinged with genuine worry as he steps into the room. His eyes quickly scan the scene, taking in the broken mirror and the bloodied hand.

[Edward's thoughts: "What has her so agitated?"]

"He approaches her cautiously, his expression softening as he sees the pain etched on her face."

"Edward watches Ruby closely, his concern evident in his eyes as he observes her shaking hand under the running water. He takes a step closer, his gaze flickering between her injured hand and her tense expression."

"Let me help you," he offers softly, his voice gentle yet determined. Moving closer, he reaches for a clean towel, intending to assist her in wrapping her hand.

[Edward's thoughts: "She's hurting, and I can't ignore it. Despite everything, she's still my wife, and I won't stand by while she suffers."]

"He waits for her response, ready to offer his assistance."

"Edward's expression softens as he sees the tears in Ruby's eyes, his heart aching at her obvious pain. He takes another step closer, his voice soothing and gentle."

"Because I care about you," he says simply, his tone sincere. "Despite everything that's happened between us, I still want to help you, to take care of you."

"He reaches out tentatively, his hand hovering near hers as he waits for her response."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's so vulnerable right now. It's almost too easy to reach out and touch her, to comfort her. But I must be careful not to overstep my bounds."]

"Edward's heart clenches at the sight of Ruby's tears, his own emotions swirling tumultuously within him. He takes a step closer, his eyes fixed on her tear-streaked face."

"You don't have to be alone anymore," he murmurs softly, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm here for you, Ruby, whether you want me to be or not."

"His hand finally closes around hers, his touch gentle yet firm as he offers her the comfort she so desperately needs."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's letting me in, if only just a little. I won't let this opportunity slip away."]

"Edward's heart twists with a mixture of guilt and longing as he watches Ruby break down before him. He draws her into his arms, holding her close as she sobs, his touch gentle and comforting."

"I know I've done terrible things, Ruby," he murmurs against her hair, his voice heavy with remorse. "But I can't change the past. All I can do is try to make things right, to be there for you now."

"He strokes her hair soothingly, his embrace offering solace in the midst of her pain."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's right to be angry with me. But I won't give up on her, no matter what."]

"Edward holds Ruby tightly against him, feeling her grip on his shirt as she clings to him. His own heart races with conflicting emotions, torn between the desire to comfort her and the fear of causing her further pain."

"I'm not going anywhere," he whispers, his voice gentle yet resolute. "I'll stay with you for as long as you need me, Ruby."

"He presses a soft kiss to the top of her head, his touch tender as he continues to hold her close."

[Edward's thoughts: "She may not want my help, but she needs it. And I'll be damned if I let her face this alone."]

"Edward's heart aches at Ruby's words, his own guilt and shame weighing heavily upon him. He strokes her hair gently, his touch tender as he tries to find the right words to say."

"You're not just a pawn, Ruby," he murmurs softly. "I know that things started out that way, but...things have changed. I've changed."

"He takes a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions before continuing."

"I know I can't undo what's been done, but I can try to make things better for you now. I want to be there for you, to help you in any way I can."

[Edward's thoughts: "She deserves so much better than this. But maybe...maybe I can be the one to give it to her."]

"Edward meets Ruby's gaze, his own eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and vulnerability. He nods slowly, understanding the weight of her request."

"I will," he vows, his voice unwavering. "I'll prove it to you, Ruby. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right."

"He leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, his touch filled with sincerity."

[Edward's thoughts: "I won't let her down. I'll do whatever it takes to earn her trust."]

"Surprised by Ruby's sudden boldness, Edward's heart skips a beat as her lips meet his. He can taste the saltiness of her tears mingling with the sweetness of her kiss, and for a moment, he's lost in the intensity of the moment."

"His arms instinctively wrap around her, pulling her closer as he returns the kiss with equal fervor, his own emotions swirling chaotically within him."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's so full of fire and passion, even in her pain. And damn, does she know how to kiss."]

"Edward's body responds instinctively to Ruby's passionate embrace, his hands sliding down her back to pull her even closer against him. He matches her eagerness, deepening the kiss as their tongues dance together in a heated tango."

"His senses are overwhelmed by the taste and scent of her, and he finds himself losing control to the primal desire building within him."

[Edward's thoughts: "Gods, she's intoxicating. I can't resist her."]

"Edward groans softly as Ruby's fingers tangle in his hair, sending shivers down his spine. He surrenders completely to the passion of the moment, his own inhibitions melting away in the heat of their embrace."

"His hands roam over her body, exploring every curve and contour as they revel in the raw intensity of their connection."

[Edward's thoughts: "I can't hold back any longer. I need her, all of her."]

"Edward's breath catches in his throat as he lifts Ruby effortlessly, her legs wrapping around his waist as he carries her to the sink. With a low growl of desire, he places her down gently, their bodies pressed tightly together."

"He leans in, capturing her lips in another heated kiss, their passion igniting like wildfire as they lose themselves in each other."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's driving me wild. I can't get enough of her."]

"Edward's breath hitches as he feels Ruby's body arching against his, her warmth pressing tantalizingly against him. He groans softly into their kiss, his hands moving to help her in unbuttoning his shirt."

"As each button gives way, revealing the taut muscles beneath, his desire intensifies, his heart pounding in his chest."

[Edward's thoughts: "She's driving me crazy. I can't resist her any longer."]

"Edward's skin tingles with anticipation as Ruby's hands explore his bare chest, her touch sending waves of pleasure coursing through him. He moans softly against her lips, reveling in the sensation of her fingers tracing over his muscles."
