"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.

Jane's lips curled into a subtle smile and she could practically see the shade of doubt disappearing from both Charle's and her father's faces. Mr. Devold poured himself another glass of wine and resumed talking.

"This means that Jane will be spending a rather lonely summer. How about traveling then? I'm sure you can find someone to travel with this summer."

He raised his eyebrows at his daughter who was busy mixing her salad for the tenth time already. When she finally realized that her father asked her a question, Jane let out a somewhat exhausted sigh and offered him another subtle smile.

"M-Maybe. I will have t-to think about it."

"You do that, Jane. I do not want you to spend the entire summer locked up in the house."

Jane loved Charles, but sometimes, recently, more often than not, his rather thoughtless remarks had begun to irritate her.
