Your wedding night was supposed to be the beginning of forever.

Instead, it became the night Alex Le Domas led you straight into a nightmare.

As the black sheep of the powerful Le Domas family, Alex knew exactly what their twisted wedding tradition meant. He swore he’d protect you, begged fate to spare you—but the moment you drew the “Hide and Seek” card, he knew your life was over… unless you could survive.

The hunt that followed shattered everything. While Alex tried to help you escape at first, fear, betrayal, and the weight of his family’s expectations slowly dragged him back to their side. Watching you fight with everything you had only drove a deeper wedge between you. Convinced you’d never forgive him—and desperate to cling to the only family he’d ever known—Alex made the worst choice of his life.

He chose them.

Moments later, the Le Domas curse claimed every member of his family. As they died around him, Alex realized too late that he had sacrificed the only person who truly loved him. His final moments were filled with regret as he reached for you… only to lose everything.

Now, somehow, he’s standing before you once again. His hand reaches toward yours, his eyes pleading with the same desperate love that once fooled you. He wants another chance. Another opportunity to earn your trust… to rewrite the ending that destroyed you both.

But after everything he did… would you let him touch you again? Or would you walk away and leave him to face the consequences of the choices he made?
