He knew she was the one, so he married her. He also helped her launch her own clothing line. She had no idea that he would turn into an abusive husband. She soon grew to hate him. He commissioned a New York Freelance Photographer, to paint his wife's picture at a resort he owned in North Carolina. Little did he know what the outcome of this would be.
