“Love alone has never sufficed within these confinements.
Alexzander’s existence is a monotonous cycle, marked by the infliction of pain upon others and an inability to experience genuine affection. Each day feels indistinguishable, until he encounters her.
The woman he ensnares disrupts his world profoundly. Unlike any previous captive, her resilience captivates him. As their acquaintance deepens, he begins to grasp the extent of his past misdeeds. Yet, he cannot release her, despite his yearning.
Ophelia becomes his fixation, and he is willing to go to extremes to retain her presence. Their connection is twisted and fraught, born of captivity and coercion. Though unhealthy, his emotions are beyond his control.
She belongs to him, and he will fiercely guard her against all threats.
