Staring down at the man beneath her, she grabbed on to his chin and lifted his face. A devilish smile adorned her face.

"If I can't have you, I would rather destroy you."

"My Dear Valerie, all I want is to watch you cry."

The sparkling him who lives in the light would never pay attention to the her who is tainted.

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.

That made Laura on the other side be alarmed. She slammed her hand on the table as she stood up. There was worry present in her voice and stated, "Why haven't you come to talk to me about it then?"

"Why should I? She can have the body to herself for months, and that's not an issue. But if I am here for one week, suddenly, it is seen as a negative case. You shouldn't be this way after telling me that both of us are same in your eyes. It will make you a little too hypocritical."
