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.

After that, even if Valerie wanted to fall asleep, she found herself being wide awake. She felt too conscious around Lucian and wanted to ask what he actually meant.

And if he did that to prevent her from overthinking, that was a wrong action to take because this only made her more anxious about the situation unfortunately.

In order to not communicate with him, she had her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep while he steadily drove the car. When the car stopped in front of her apartment, she opened the door and got out in a hurry.

As she was about to rush away, Lucian opened the door to his side and stepped out before saying, "Be sure to sleep tight, and I will catch up with you for meal tomorrow. Good night."

She turned back and nodded before voicing out, "Be careful about shooting in the woods. Don't act recklessly just because you find it fun. I will be mad if you get hurt."
