Prologue
Sami and Ej were like any other couple in the beginning, spending every moment possible together. Talking and showing that a love like theirs was real, they were meant to be and nothing was going to tear them apart. Sami had just ran out on her marriage to Austin and for the first time felt free. She ran right to Ej who picked up all the right pieces and made her feel whole again, over the next six months everything seemed to fall into place. The love that was always there began to surface and Ej proposed, wanting nothing more then to marry the blonde bombshell that could always bring him to his knees.
However, he was still holding something back, the secret that he knew could destroy them forever. Sami didn't know who he was or what he was from and Ej could never find the time to tell her. He was a Dimera, Stephano's son and the heir to the entire Dimera Empire. The crowned prince of the darkness his family was.
Ej made the mistake of thinking he could keep it from her, keep those two parts of his life separate but his father had something else in mind. On their wedding day, as the two stood at the front of the church, prepared to take their vows, Stephano came bursting through the doors and ruined all the dreams Ej had for himself. As Stephano greeted his son, Sami had tears running down her face as she threw her ring at Ej and went running out of the church. Not stopping until she reached her car and dropped her veil in the street as she pulled away. Of course Ej went out after her, but she was gone and he was regretting teaching her to drive like that.
