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.

Throw in the mix a controlling father, a half-sister who is out for revenge, and conspiracies being planned in the dark.

It didn't take a while for Valerie to decide that nothing good would be coming out of his presence here, and at that, she was about to quickly close the door in his face, but her movements haven't been fast enough.

He slammed open the door, creating a loud noise.

Then, those eyes holding rage fell on her, as though he wished to burn her down from his gaze alone. Even in his battered up state, he was much stronger than Valerie, and Valerie didn't want to cower under his gaze anymore.

She backed away, searching for something appropriate to grab, while her perceptive eyes were on him.

"You, bitch, this is all because of you! You ruined it all! I shouldn't have taken you in! I should have left you on the streets to die. Because of you now, I am totally ruined. You, ungrateful wretch! If I am going down, I will take you with me! I will ruin you totally! Don't think you are able to get away from it safely!"
