"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 favorite Italian restaurant was conveniently located in the city center, overlooking the dark, flowing river and its giant arched walking bridge, which was glowing with hundreds of tiny lights, adding to the already quite serene atmosphere of that fine spring evening.

The dimmed yellow light went well with the dark-brown walls and chairs bringing out the crispiness of the snow-white tablecloth which was enveloping the wooden surfaces of the round black tables like ghosts, pairing up with the thick, long drapes of the same degree of whiteness, shutting out those lucky ones who were able to make a reservation there, from the rest of the hectic city.

Charles helped Jane to sit down and gestured for the tall, young waiter to bring the menus and some drinks while Mr. Devold was still finishing his clearly important call with his executive assistant.

"Your father seems busier these days, is something the matter?"
