"Sometimes it's about remembering and never forgiving."

Jane Devold, the only daughter of the CEO of one of the most successful tech companies in the country, grew up to be a seemingly happy and spoiled young woman, despite her stuttering and fragile condition. 

However, her rich and elegant way of living ends in a heartbeat when her father goes missing, leaving Jane alone and with an enormous debt on her hands. 

That's when she reunites with Vernon Lin, her strange and intimidating senior from college, who claims to be the new owner of her father's company and promises to resolve her financial issues if she agrees to marry him.

His offer seems harmless, and Jane accepts his helping hand only to realize that Vernon's intentions are not so pure, and his personality is still miles away from that of a knight in shining armor.

But what really does feed Vernon's unhealthy obsession with Jane? Whether it's his desire for revenge, his own twisted way of teaching the spoiled young woman how the real life works, or unresolved complicated feelings, he still succeeds in turning Jane's life into a living hell.

Until he realizes that without her, his own life is hell, too.

Vernon stepped out of the building, followed by Felix, who clearly was having trouble holding back his overflowing excitement.

"We did it, Lin! All odds were against it but we did it!"

He turned around to see why his enthusiasm was not reciprocated and noticed a dark, serious shadow covering his friend's face like it happens in cartoons.

"Hey, are you okay? You don't look like a person whose start-up idea was just chosen for an investment contract."

Vernon found it strange too - his efforts were paying off and his lifelong dream was finally coming true, so why was he not satisfied? Was it really because... of Jane Devold?

'All this time... All I wanted was everything that belonged to her, but now... I guess it would be fun to see her all lost and confused.'

He let out a soft, almost unnoticeable scoff, and brushed his hair back, exposing his furrowed eyebrows.
