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!

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

Hearing to all that made her heart squeeze tightly, making her fall into silence. She didn't know how to process the situation.

There was something wrong with her baby and were chances of him not being born alive.

Seeing how Valerie went pale with each passing second got Lucian to extend his hand and pull her trembling figure into a hug.

"I am sorry for yelling at you earlier. I just didn't want you to worry and worsen your health. That's why, I kept the matter away from you."
