Madeline Rose had only ever worked in her father's local blacksmith shop and occasionally helped her mother at the farm. Her skin had become tanned from the hot sun, but despite all of this, she did not complain. Even though she didn't come from a wealthy home, she was content. 



However, her life turned upside down when she stumbled upon a darkness that refused to leave her alone. 




There was him, a man cloaked in mystery and malice, a presence that sent chills down her spine. His eyes, shrouded in shadows, held a depth of darkness that seemed to swallow the light around him. 





When their paths crossed, Madeline felt a cold dread wash over her, as if she had invited a malevolent force into her world.

The Devil's Embrace

Madeline sat in the same seat as she did last time. This time, sunlight flooded through the window, casting a warm glow into the room.

Though shadows just like yesterday lingered where he had sat, covered by the curtains, she didn't dwell on it.

Typically, it was customary for her to wait for her husband before beginning her meal. However, Madeline was too upset to delay any longer. She simply wanted to have breakfast and depart before meeting him. No, she had no desire to see him; that would be for the best.

Scooping a spoonful of rich soup into her mouth, the heat stung her tongue, but she paid it no mind. Despite her distress, the food was exceptionally lavish, unlike any she had tasted before. Her gaze roamed over the abundance of dishes laid out on the table.
