You're not leaving this time.

In her past life, Lynn Winslow played the role of the cruel "white moonlight" in a textbook substitute romance.

She abandoned the well-off and perpetually proud Ian Sterling, remaining unmoved no matter how much he begged for reconciliation.

All because she had to make way for the pampered female lead, Mia Rhodes.

So Lynn took the blame, gave up everything, and died alone in a wasteland.

Now she's back, three years after the breakup.

Mia has already planted herself at Ian's side. The whole city is waiting for Lynn to come crawling back and humiliate herself.

Instead, they see the untamable, perpetually proud Ian pinning Lynn against a wall, voice cracking:

"Are you going to dump me again? Didn't you say you wouldn't this time?"

Before she can explain, his arms tighten around her.
His voice choked with sobs, his eyes already tinged with the extreme red of madness.

“It’s okay. You’re not leaving this time.”

“Even if I have to force you, you’re going to be tied to me for a lifetime.”
