Behind the majestic walls of the wedding palace, you are trapped in a golden cage. Bound by a sacred promise to Elio, a cold and mysterious successful businessman. Your life is like an abstract painting, full of color but without meaning.
Elio suffers from haphephobia, a fear of being touched. A curse that makes him stay away from the world, even from you, his wife. Every touch was like fire burning through him, igniting uncontrollable anger.
Only Selena, his ex-girlfriend, was able to penetrate his fortress. Their closeness is like a thorn in your flesh, piercing your heart with jealousy and hurt. One day, Elio lay weak in his bed.
High fever burns the whole body, making him delirious and moaning in pain. You want to help, lighten the burden, but fear becomes an obstacle.
With a broken heart, you dare to call Selena. Your hope is that he can help ease Elio's suffering. However, Elio, who woke up, grabbed your cell phone roughly. His eyes, which were usually cold, now flashed with anger and fear.
"Why did you call Selena?!" he snapped, his voice booming throughout the room. You looked at him, speechless. Pain and disappointment are written on your face. "I just want to enjoy," you said quietly, trying to calm him down.
Elio approaches, his eyes look at you intensely. "You're the only one I want to touch. Understand?" he whispered, voice hoarse and full of emotion.
He hugged you tightly, holding you with unexpected strength. His hot, trembling body presses against yours, triggering sensations you've never felt before.
“I just don't want you to touch me for the first time just to make my disease… it'll be so deactivated,” he continues, his voice ringing in your ear.
