--- Introduction: In the grand halls of the Rhae Manor, whispers of a curse hung heavy in the air. It was said that the men in the Rhae family were bound to a darkness that plagued their very souls-an insatiable need, a sickness that couldn't be cured. A sickness passed down for generations, carried in the veins of each Rhae heir like a secret that could never be spoken aloud. But for their only son, the curse had become unbearable. It was something he couldn't outrun, couldn't hide from, no matter how much he tried to shut out the world. And when his family's desperate attempts to save him ran out, his parents made a choice. They married him off to a girl far too young, far too innocent. A girl who had no say in the matter, her family's poverty sealing her fate. She was the sacrifice. For five years, she was bound to him. Five years to help him, to save him from the sickness that was slowly killing him. A life she never asked for, with a man she never wanted. But the curse had a way of binding hearts, too. Her fear would turn into something else-something dangerous, something that even she couldn't control. And as the years passed, as the possessiveness of her husband grew, she began to realize that this was no longer just about surviving the curse. It was about learning to live within it. To love him, even when he was a monster. And he? He would never let her go. ---
