Chapter 3:
Later that afternoon, Maia stood alone in front of City Hall in Wront, with some documents required for marriage registration in her handbag.
There was still time before her appointment, so she leaned casually against a tree, eyes downcast, thoughts drifting far from the present.
Back when she first stepped into prison four years ago, the torment seemed relentless, etched into every corner of her memory.

But for some reason, she had taken an interest in Maia. She offered protection — but it came with a condition. If Maia wanted that safety, she had to accept a marriage agreement and carry out a task afterward.
Back then, trapped in a nightmare with no way out, Maia had no room to refuse. Survival meant sacrifice. Without hesitation, she agreed to the deal and pledged her loyalty to the woman who’d saved her.
