Backstage Trap

Ian Lancaster may have been physically weak, but he was a kind husband.
However, marrying her childhood friend turned out to be a complete disaster.

***

She devoted herself to her husband’s family, but in the end, they cast her aside. Just before death came for her, a second chance presented itself.
This time, Lucia didn’t want to die as someone’s wife. She wanted to die as an actress.

But…

“…Wasn’t staying out of scandals part of the contract?”
“It was. But that doesn’t apply to the other party in the deal.”
“That’s… that’s ridiculous… ngh… I thought we were strictly business partners…?”
“So naïve. You should’ve read the contract properly. I’ve always been greedy.”

“Success… and you.”
“Ah…!”
“I’ve come to want you too now.”

Killian Walker was the kind of man who could either give her wings… or clip them.

Though he approached her as an ally, his interest in her was far from pure.

“Why won’t you even look at me…? Am I not useful to you anymore…?”

Ian Lancaster, her ex-husband, doesn’t even try to hide his dark obsession.

Caught in the relentless tug-of-war between two men, Lucia took Killian Walker’s hand.
Even knowing how dangerous he was. What would that choice cost her?

“Apologies, but don’t expect me to say something pretty or poetic. Because all I can think about is devouring you every single night.”
