Raylen Vale seems to lead a charmed life. He heads multiple multi-million dollar enterprises, is married to a beautiful and dedicated ex-model wife, and has two adorable children. What's more, he's achieved all this before the ripe old age of thirty-five. Unlike most successful CEOs, he's still young and handsome even when standing beside his gorgeous wife. It's no wonder that the media loves to fawn over his picture-perfect family. 

So why does he return every winter solstice to the abandoned and unvisited grave of one Delaney Sackville-West? And why does he demand the dearly departed to "Look at me living well while you rot into nothingness" as he paces before the tomb? 

And why, despite his harsh words, does he envy the soil that gets to wrap itself around her body?

Trigger warnings: Suicide, eating disorders.

Billionaire's First Love Returns From The Dead

As Kai walks away from Ms Allister and Marianne, he cannot help but chuckle to himself. It seems like young ladies no longer find him charismatic the way they used to when he was still a university student. 'Ah, just part and parcel of ageing in this unforgiving world,' he thinks, amused.

Since his dinner reservation is at six, he still has some time to kill. He decides to buy something for Mai, not because they are close but because they are the opposite of close. In other words, he feels obliged to bring a gift to the meeting.

Obviously, he does not have a good idea of what she likes and dislikes. He has some idea, of course, but nothing too detailed or specific. Luckily, she won't expect him to give her the perfect gift either.

They are not friends, but they are not strangers either. Neither are they enemies or acquaintances.

They are family, inevitably and invariably connected by blood and upbringing.
