She never cared about the family heirloom until it ended up on her finger.
For five months, she perfected the every touch, every smile, every whispered promise carefully designed to hide the truth. She played the role of the devoted fiancée while secretly plotting her escape.
She told herself it was for survival, for freedom, but deep down, it was more than that. She wanted to end the love that once tethered her to him, the love that had decayed into something suffocating and dark.
Every step closer to freedom feels like another chain tightening around her.
What if, in trying to outmaneuver him, she only cemented their bond? What if she given him all the power without even realizing it?
The plan she once held onto so tightly now feels like quicksand. And for the first time, She's afraid she'll never truly break free not from him, and not from the shadow of what they once were.
