There Is No Paradise Where You Escaped

“I thought the place I ran away to was paradise.”

Vivianne thought everything would be fine as long as she could escape from the King of Preston, who wanted to take her as his mistress.

But what awaited her at the place she escaped to was yet another misfortune. The man whom Vivianne had saved and sent away 14 years ago hung a noose around her neck, taking her life and death away from her.

And as if that wasn’t enough, when everything of hers had been trampled on… she ran away from that man.

Vivianne prayed.

She prayed that anywhere without that man would be paradise.

So, she begged to be taken to a place where that man did not exist.

“Did you think the place you ran away to was paradise?”

On every path he passed, Aveline was there. Only she could truly complete Edwin Baytness.

He choked her, stole her breath, and coveted the most beautiful thing. Then, that woman ran away.

Edwin prayed.

He prayed that he could take away her last bit of paradise.

That way, he could deprive her of any reason to run and bind her to his side forever.
