Esaret

The leads in this series are both phenomenal. The reviews about the abuse/violence are accurate. However, it is an integral part of the story. It reflects his inner turmoil & how his upbringing deeply damaged him. She is fragile, naive & childlike. Having grown up as a slave/ servant in Africa, she's pure and good and accepts her fate. She is told she is responsible for his twin sister's death and because she's a good person she accepts all the punishments he inflicts on her. Not easy to watch how this story unfolds, but it's well done and as far fetched as the plot sounds about a billionaire & former slave falling in love, it somehow works. Both characters have had traumas in their upbringings and seeing their evolution as the story progressed is beautiful. A story that's beautifully told and will capture your heart.
