After losing her fiancé to mysterious and untimely death, a grief-stricken woman refuses to accept a world without him. She performs a forbidden wedding ritual, binding herself halfway between life and death, and summons a psychopomp to serve as her guide. In exchange for a chance to see her beloved again in Arcadia, a serene, pastoral afterlife, she must escort wandering souls to their final rest.
Each passage demands more than endurance: she must shoulder the burden of their lives, relive their memories, and battle the demons, literal and symbolic, that plagued them in the waking world. One successful escort is one visit to her fiancé, yet every journey tests the limits of her devotion as the weight of lives crush her own.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
