Lily navigates a forced marriage while a lethal obsession closes in.
Trading one tyrant for another, Lily weds Maddox, the mafia patriarch who commands her cruel ex, Jasper. At their debut as a couple, Maddox weaponizes protocol, forcing Jasper to address his former girlfriend as aunt — a public coronation that leaves Lily dizzy with whiplash. She grasps the shield Maddox offers, yet senses the cage forming around her. Jasper's smile doesn't reach his eyes; his fixation has sharpened into something patient and lethal. Meanwhile, a buried truth festers beneath the alliance, threatening to detonate the fragile peace and drag Lily back into the darkness she thought she escaped.
