Dominic grew obsessed with Arette because her voice resembled that of his deceased mother. Yet, the more he saw Arette, the more he became captivated by her for who she truly was, deepening his obsession. Arette vowed to escape the prison Dominic had meticulously created for her. However, as she uncovered hidden secrets that could profoundly alter her life, she began to question whether she should stay or leave.

And your brother filing a missing person report with me as the prime suspect hasn't helped matters. Although he's withdrawn the report, they're still keen on pursuing me. They want to see me locked up," Dominic explained calmly.
