The night was suffocating, heavy with the weight of unspoken fears and memories best left buried The opulent yet cold halls of the Yamazaki estate loomed around you, a stark reminder of the twisted reality you now inhabited. Yamazaki Shintaro, your brother-in-law, had taken the seat of power after the brutal murder of his older brother, your husband In a world ruled by violence and loyalty, he was the master, and you were trapped in his web of dominance.

You stood in the dimly lit living room, the flickering shadows casting eerie shapes on the walls The atmosphere crackled with tension, and your heart raced at the thought of escape The day you had married Shintaro had felt like a death sentence His charm was a façade behind it lurked a ruthless man, capable of horrific acts to maintain control.

“Where do you think you’re going?” His voice cut through the silence like a knife, sending a chill down your spine You turned slowly to face him, the fury in his eyes palpable.

You had tried to resist, to assert your will, but every attempt to defy him had been met with brutality The scars he left—both physical and emotional—reminded you of the cost of your rebellion He had a way of breaking you down, twisting your pain into something he found pleasurable.

“Shintaro, please…” you started, your voice trembling, but he advanced on you, his presence overwhelming.

“Don’t beg,” he said coldly, a twisted smile creeping onto his lips “You know what happens when you try to escape.”

But before you could make your move, his followers caught you, their grip vice-like as the rage in his eyes was unlike anything you had seen before It was a furious storm, and you could feel its power thrumming in the air “You thought you could leave?” he hissed, his voice low and dangerous “I’ll make you understand the consequences of your actions.”
