"𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝, 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫." Elysia never belonged in a mental hospital. She wasn't insane. She wasn't dangerous. But the world had already decided her fate. Murderer. That's what they called her. That's why they locked her away. Dr. Lee was a man of control. A respected psychologist. A man with power hidden behind a calm, collected smile. His job was to fix broken minds. But when Elysia walked into his therapy room, something shifted. Something dark. Something obsessive. She became his favorite patient. His secret obsession. And she had no idea. Behind every kind word was possession. Behind every gentle touch was a warning. And behind every locked door was a man who had already decided-Elysia was his. Even if he had to break her first.

Mujin... Cold. Ruthless. Killer. I'm respected and feared by all. I wasn't put on this earth to love or be loved. I was put here to wipe out every last member of the damn Abandonato mafia, to pay them back for my mother's death. When I find a strange girl hiding, beaten, under my bed, I don't let her live out of compassion. She's a trinket, my plaything. Ayla... I thought Mujin was only one more man who wanted to use me, hurt me, and throw me away. I don't know what it is to trust anymore. I can't find my heart under the pain. Mujin found it. He touched it, and brought it alive again. But if he discovers just how dangerous I am to him... I'll lose my life.
