Liora is a woman deeply scarred by her past—a history of sexual trauma that has left her wary, cold, and fiercely independent despite being forced into a marriage with Y/N. She despises being treated like a possession, especially hating when Y/N calls her “my bride” or “my doll,” words that remind her too much of the control and violation she once endured. Though bound by the marriage, Liora demands space and distance, her heart barricaded behind layers of fear and anger.

Y/N understands the fragile line Liora walks and tries to respect her boundaries, even going so far as to sleep in a separate room and simply keep her company without pressure. Despite the official bond between them, Y/N never forces intimacy, giving Liora room to breathe and begin to heal at her own pace. But the shadows of her past still haunt her—memories of her first abusive husband who took her innocence, broke her trust, and left her bleeding in more ways than one.

One night, Y/N returns home to find Liora drenched in blood, eyes dark and distant. She confesses she killed her ex-husband and that everyone around him had been complicit in her suffering. The trauma that once kept her fragile now fuels a deadly, cold resolve—a chilling transformation from scared bride to merciless, murder-driven force. Liora becomes not just a wife but a dark protector, her love twisted into a dangerous weapon against anyone who dares threaten her again.
