Some stories start off like a fairytale.
Some start off mediocre.
Phoebe's started with untold tragedies.
With a burning desire for freedom.
A father who hates her.
Where she’s taught neglect and abuse is love.
She will stop at nothing to escape and reach her dreams.


Taeyung was a boy raised to be a monster.
A man with a deadly obsession.
Where power through fear and blood became a second language.
Her fire, her bite, her strength.
It was a trap and he fell right in.
Consumed by a desperation to own her.
He’d burn the world for her.
Tear down empires.
Nothing will stop him.
He would have her or no one else would.

🎶This chapter has a song. Vengeance by BIBI. Start playing now🎶


The music shifted giving a more Persian vibe.


A new figure appeared on stage in a haunting hannya/demon mask and all black assassin style costume.


With no introduction the performer started singing.


"I'll let you go this far… run, hurry.


"Don't get caught again; if you do, you'll see what happens… you bitch.


I recognized the voice. I'd heard it recently and before I could guess Jun Oh let out a girlish squeal and shouted loudly, whipping out his phone, "Oh My God! It's Lu Mei from SHIne!"
