Every vow, every game, every secret comes with a cost. This collection brings together seven stories where the lines between devotion, deception, and destiny blur-each pushing its characters to the edge of what they can endure.

A bride discovers that the man she thought she married may be hiding a darker truth than love can cover. A craftsman's dolls whisper of debts unpaid, where each creation carries the memory of a soul unwilling to rest. A paradise crafted in circuits begins to tremble under the weight of its own fail-safe, paradise on the brink of collapse.

In the underworld of finance and betrayal, three keys unlock not fortune but destruction, when loyalty collides with greed. Beyond the stars, a lonely outpost refuses to release its crew, wrapping them in a silence that cuts deeper than space itself. In the ring, a fighter's final round ends not with glory but with a truth too dangerous to strike. And on the icy edge of perfection, a young prodigy discovers that medals gleam brightest when they are cursed with secrets no one dares to confess.

Romance and suspicion, horror and betrayal, ambition and sacrifice-all collide in tales where nothing is certain, and everything is at stake.

When the vows break, the machines glitch, and the truth demands a price-who will stand, and who will fall?
