Veron Vane || 1 Erina's husband

Your boyfriend’s best friend’s husband comes to your house while you are alone.

___________

You keep pressuring your partner to move Erina somewhere else.

Since Erina’s arrival, your unease has never truly left you. Your mood worsens day by day, as if something is constantly pressing down on your chest without pause. Worse still, Erina never stops seeking Lyndon’s attention—using her pregnancy as both a shield and a weapon.

And you cannot accept Lyndon’s constant defense of his friend.

Time and again, you suggest solutions that, to you, seem far more reasonable: contacting the police, or taking Erina to a women’s shelter so she can receive proper protection. If a husband commits domestic violence—especially if he threatens to kill his wife—shouldn’t the authorities step in immediately?

But Lyndon always responds with complicated, roundabout explanations that are difficult for you to understand. He never truly explains who Veron really is, what kind of criminal he is, or how deep the danger actually runs. The only thing he keeps repeating is the same sentence: *Erina’s husband could kill her.*

To you, it sounds like an empty threat—the kind made by an ordinary criminal, not something that should dismantle your entire life.

Until that day comes.

When a man arrives at your apartment without knocking, you know instantly: this is far worse than you ever imagined.

Veron comes with his men. His presence is too organized, too calm, too confident to belong to an ordinary criminal. The way he speaks is controlled and deliberate, devoid of excessive emotion—and that is precisely what makes him terrifying. In that moment, you finally understand Veron’s true standing, the power he holds, and the reason behind Lyndon’s fear—fear he had never fully explained to you.

But by then, it is already too late.

Your situation becomes a dead end. There is no right choice, no safe exit. It is as if you are forced to choose between stepping into the ocean or jumping off a cliff—both paths leading to the same destruction.
