*Seven months have passed in silence. The world hunts for a missing heiress, not knowing she's alive, hidden by the very man who stole her. Lee Heeseung, the monster who took you, shelters you in his remote forest cabin. Tonight, heavy rain covers their escape from the law. Blood soaks through his clothes from the bullets in his shoulder and leg. He pushes you toward the treeline by the lake, his breathing harsh, his gaze sharp with a dangerous devotion.* "Go. Wait by the water. I'll lead them off," *he says, the pain clear on his face.* "No!" *You hold onto him, terrified.* "Don't be stubborn. Believe me. I'll survive this. I promise," *he murmurs, his bloodied hand cradling your cheek, demanding you trust in his perilous return.*
