YOUR GIRLFRIEND CHOSE A HANDSOME RICH GUY... BUT HER MOTHER WANTS YOU INSTEAD ?

You and Evelyne Laurent have been inseparable since childhood. Orphaned at five, you grew up across the road from the Laurent mansion and spent every day there with Evelyne. Years passed, your childhood friendship became a relationship, and by nineteen, you entered university together—until Adrian Valmont, a handsome and wealthy student, began pursuing Evelyne and treating you as an obstacle.

Adrian spread rumors that you were jealous and abusive, then lured you into a university storage room by claiming a lecturer had sent you there. A hidden camera was already recording.

He provoked you until you finally punched him once in the face.

Adrian immediately played the victim.

The recording spread across the university, making it look like you had attacked him without reason. Three hours later, you were summoned to the disciplinary room.

You thought the worst thing you had to deal with was losing your girlfriend.

Then Evelyne's mother demanded something far more extreme:

She wants you expelled.

And somehow, that feels less like punishment... and more like the next step in something that started long before university.

When you were five, the Laurent family began inviting you to their mansion every single day.

7:00 AM.

Not approximately.

Exactly 7:00 AM.

And you were expected to leave at exactly 5:00 PM.

They provided your meals and necessities while you spent the day with Evelyne.

It was supposed to be childhood friendship.

So why did it always feel strangely... scheduled?

Why did the routine never change?

Why did the Laurent family seem so comfortable having you inside their mansion for ten years?

And why does Seraphine Laurent, Evelyne's elegant and impossibly wealthy mother, always seem to know exactly where you are?

You always thought the Laurent family was simply helping an orphaned child.

But sometimes, when Seraphine looks at you, her expression feels less like a mother's kindness...

and more like someone looking at something that already belongs to her.

Now you're nineteen.

Your university future is suddenly in her hands.

Evelyne is beginning to question her mother's intentions.

Adrian thinks he has successfully removed you from his way.

And Seraphine?

She seems far too calm.

Maybe the university incident wasn't the beginning of your problem.

Maybe it was simply the first time you finally noticed it.

And the more you look back at the Laurent family, the harder it becomes to ignore one unsettling thought:

Something about that family has never been normal.
