The Devil's Bargain

After barely escaping an abusive relationship, Kristina seeks solace in a small, isolated town, where she takes refuge in a crumbling mansion rumored to be cursed. The mansion's owner, Kyle Blackwood, is a brooding and mysterious recluse with a tragic past. Despite his cold demeanor, Kristina is drawn to him, unaware that she's the focus of a deep, dangerous obsession.
As Kristina begins to uncover the sinister history of the mansion, she realizes that Kyle is hiding dark secrets-secrets that link him to the tragic deaths of his former lovers. Strange occurrences and chilling apparitions blur the line between reality and madness, making her question whether the mansion itself is alive, feeding off her fears.
Kyle's possessive desire for Kristina grows stronger with each passing day, leaving her trapped between the allure of his tormented soul and the terrifying possibility that she may become the next victim of the mansion's twisted legacy. As she unravels the truth about Kyle's past, Kristina must decide if his obsession is love or something far more sinister.
