"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.

"Here is your water, Miss Devold."

Jane slowly lifted her head, her mind still clouded, and noticed her family's lawyer, Mr. Dallas Wade, standing next to her with a plastic bottle of water in his hands.

Still shaken and somewhat disoriented, she accepted the bottle with trembling fingers, staring blankly at the opposite wall, unsure of what to do next.

After hearing the devastating news about her father, a man from the prosecutor's office had asked her to come with him "for a chat". Jane was the only member of the Devold family who could testify on behalf of Mr. Ian Devold and everyone in his close surroundings.

The prosecutor in charge of her father's case had allowed her to contact their family lawyer, who—despite his unexpected reluctance—agreed to help, simply out of pity for the young woman caught in such an awful situation.
