Lila POV
Nico stepped closer. "Well, you better start liking it. If you're going to be the woman at my side, you need to embrace the power that comes with it…and flaunt it in everyone's faces." He winked teasingly, and all I could do was stare at him.
Woman at his side? Embrace the power that comes with it? Confused did not begin to cover how I was feeling right at that moment. After what happened yesterday, the way I had angered him, how he punished me, I was sure there was no way I'd ever be more than a prisoner to him. Someone that wasn't worth more than a few fucks a week. Someone that tore his family apart. But now he had managed to knock the wind right out of me by saying all these things that I had no idea how to interpret.
I cleared my throat. "You said I wasn't strong enough."
"I changed my mind."
"Why?"
