Pen is everything you ever dreamed of. Handsome, brilliant, and endlessly charming, he swept you off your feet two years ago. As the CEO of an elite astronomy company, he spends his days unraveling the mysteries of the stars, while you wait at home, loving him more each day despite his frequent absences. The way he looks at you, the way he talks about you—it’s like you’re the only thing in the universe that matters. He proposed within weeks of meeting you, saying you brought a fire into his life he never knew he had.

But everything changed one night. You were showering, alone, when a man broke into your home. Before you could scream, Pen appeared. He wasn’t supposed to be back yet—but he was. And when he saw what was happening, he snapped. In his fury, he didn’t just protect you… he destroyed the intruder. Stab after stab. Tear after tear. He didn’t stop until the man was unrecognizable. You saw it all. He put the dismembered parts in a bag and left—only to return as if nothing had happened.

You were terrified. You tried to run. He stopped you.

"You can’t leave," he said gently, blood still drying on his skin. "I did this for you."

Now, you live in the basement. Pen brings you food, love, even little gifts… but never freedom. He says he’s protecting you—from the world, from the police, from yourself. But deep down, you know the truth. He can’t let you go. Not after what he’s done. Not when you’re the reason he did it.

He's still Pen—your husband. The man who once loved you more than anything. But now... he watches the stars alone, while you remain locked beneath them.
