A marriage built on betrayal. A love turned into hate. Two hearts once shared years of love and later endured years of pain, now bound by vows as husbands, each unaware of the other's suffering. Between two hearts that once loved too deeply... Who will reach the other first and learn how to heal together? ***** William once believed love was enough. For four years, he loved one man with everything he had. Est. But one night changed everything. *** Three years ago, Est left someone behind. Someone who loved him enough to break when he disappeared. William. For three years William lived with the betrayal of the man he once trusted more than anyone. His family took him away from Thailand to forget. To heal. But the man who returned three years later was not the same. The warm lover Est once knew was gone. In his place stood someone colder. Sharper. More dangerous. And the first thing he heard when he came back was the one thing that shattered everything again. Est was about to marry Joong Archen. *** But fate had other plans. Because the man standing beside Est at the altar... Was not Joong. It was William. And this time, the vows they shared were not about love. They were about possession.

Est thought love would be gentle. But what he got was William - his husband, his protector, his captor. From childhood, William had claimed Est. And now, as the ruthless CEO of a criminal empire, he has turned that obsession into complete domination. Est is dressed in silk, kissed like glass - but every moment is a game of survival. William's love is violence dressed as devotion. And Est is too terrified - and too entangled - to run. But what happens when Est starts to crave the cage that confines him?
