Eunice, a wealthy and powerful widow, was the epitome of success. To the world, she was an ambitious woman, admired and revered for her achievements. But beneath her façade of power and grace lay a dark truth. Behind the scenes, Eunice was far from virtuous—her empire was built on foundations most would not dare to explore. Her carefully constructed life began to crumble when she encountered Mammon, the self-proclaimed First Son of Satan. A seemingly ordinary vase became the catalyst for a life-altering confrontation. Mammon, angered by her audacity to tamper with his artifact, presented Eunice with a sinister punishment: three wishes she must make. But Eunice, ever strong-willed and defiant, refused to bow to the whims of a creature she called a "witch." Their encounters became a battle of wills, her unyielding nature clashing against his overwhelming power. Yet, even the strongest resolve can falter.

Do you even know who he truly was?”
