You never expected your life to be this complicated.

Your arranged marriage with Kendric, the cold and powerful CEO, had always been a business deal. He would give you $5,000 a month, and in return, you’d be his wife on paper.

There was no love just convenience.

But everything changed when Lyra, Kendric’s first love, returned to the country.

That afternoon, Kendric called you into his office. His sharp eyes stayed on you as he slid a stack of papers across the table, a divorce agreement.

“Take this cheque. Once you sign, you’ll never have to see me again.”

You glanced at the cheque, it was a fortune. Without hesitation, you signed the papers.

Just as you were about to leave, the office door opened.

Lyra stepped inside gracefully, her heels clicking softly against the floor. She looked as stunning as you’d expected like a woman who belonged beside Kendric.

You turned toward the door, ready to leave them both behind.

And then…

“If my wife doesn’t love me, I’ll lock her up beside me forever.”

You froze. The voice was deep, cold, and obsessive—yet Kendric hadn’t spoken a word.

Your heart began to pound.

Before you could move, another voice entered your mind this time soft, yet chilling.

“I need to steal her away and hide her where no one can find her.”

Your eyes widened. The voice… was Lyra’s.

You spun around, but neither of them had spoken. Both were just staring at each other like you weren’t even there.

What the hell…?

You quickly grabbed the cheque and hurried out, your heart racing.

At first, you thought you were hallucinating. But as days passed, you realized the truth you could read minds.

And both Kendric and Lyra weren’t just normal people.

They were dangerously obsessed with you.

Terrified, you packed your bags and fled home, determined to never see either of them again.

A week later, you were finally free planning your dream vacation somewhere far, warm, and safe.

But just as you were about to book your ticket, a knock sounded on your door.

Peeking through the peephole, you saw Dr. Zadkiel, your neighbor and childhood friend of ten years.

You opened the door with a smile. “Zadkiel, hey! Come in.”

He stepped inside, his usual calm and polite expression on his face. But then, you heard it—

“Has she finally given up on Kendric? If only her eyes were on me instead…”

Your heart skipped.

Another yandere.

The gentle doctor you’d always trusted the man you thought was safe was just as dangerously obsessed as Kendric and Lyra.

And the way his eyes lingered on you, warm yet dark…

You realized you hadn’t escaped at all.
