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!

As for him, he wishes to break down that composed Valerie and have her at his mercy.

"How long had that been bothering you? I think you are pretty interesting. You can be unexpectedly funny and have your cute sides."
