The Apathetic Heiress who had it all— beauty, wealth, and intelligence. That's what everyone saw her as. But beyond that exterior, Valerie Davies was an insecure and paranoid girl who remained obsessed with her first love, Lucian Gray. 

Valerie hid a secret side. If triggered, that side of her wreaked havoc.

He was the light in her dark world, a dazzling and far-fetched dream, and the only one that mattered to her.

Lucian Gray had all he could ask for— a loving family, fame, and wealth. But that happy life of his faced a challenge when his parents are set on having him marry Valerie— the very person he has deep hatred for.

Getting engaged to the very person who makes his blood boil? Impossible!

And what happens when he attempts to escape from the engagement? He triggers the dangerous side of hers that badly wants to possess him.

As for him, he wishes to break down that composed Valerie and have her at his mercy.

Throw in the mix a controlling father, a half-sister who is out for revenge, and conspiracies being planned in the dark.

Star-Crossed Lovers: The Heartthrob's Infatuated CEO

"What about the land at Silverstone Road 56? Did you manage to purchase them?" asked Arnold Davies.

More than a week has passed since the incident with his garage, and apparently, he had been attacked as well in the middle of the street. He tried to find the culprit behind the latter incident but remained unsuccessful so far.

He at first thought Valerie would be the culprit, but no matter how much he looked through it, he couldn't find a connection between her and those incidents. Moreover, he believed Valerie had no courage or capability to go after him.

As for Valerie, she was seething against Arnold for what he did to Lucian. She wished to tear the man off using her own hands, but what she understood was that Rye wouldn't leave Arnold alone. Therefore, she pressed in her anger and let Rye make the decisions, knowing how Rye could be more vicious than her without leaving behind any clues.
