CHAPTER 12
HIS PUPPET, HER CURSE
Marina Elric was not born to be a puppet—but somewhere along the way, she became one. An ambitious, fiercely talented actress from a forgotten coastal town, Marina’s entire life had been a series of auditions—for approval, for love, for survival. When she landed a lead role in an avant-garde production at the prestigious Eclipse Theater, it should’ve been her breakthrough. Instead, it was her unraveling. Because the man behind the script—the revered and feared director Dominic Vale—was no ordinary artist. He was a master of control. A sculptor of minds. A man with an obsession for creating beauty out of chaos, no matter the cost. Dominic saw something in Marina that others didn’t: fragility masked as fire. And he wanted it—her—on his stage, in his hands, under his direction. Not just to perform, but to become the role he had written. A role that bled into reality. A performance that never ended. To the world, Dominic was a visionary genius. To Marina, he was the man who pulled her strings… and tied them around her throat. What started as art became imprisonment. What was meant to be a performance turned into possession. And in this game of illusion and obsession, the question was no longer who Marina really was—but whether she’d survive the version he needed her to become. Because in Dominic’s theater, the spotlight burns. And love is just another scene… scripted in madness.
