"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.

The car glided smoothly along the city roads despite the growing weekend traffic. Saturday mornings were rarely this busy, but today, cars lined up at every intersection, merging in a slow, chaotic dance.

Having spent so many months abroad, Jane had almost forgotten what it felt like to sit in traffic on a weekend.

Today's drive in Vernon's car felt drastically different from the night before. Last night, she had been exhausted, cold, and utterly lost as they sped in the opposite direction. Now, she was tense and drained, but the sense of disorientation had been replaced by a gnawing irritation and restless frustration.

She chewed on her lower lip, still able to faintly feel the smudge of whipped cream from earlier, as if his touch lingered there, unwilling to let go.

Shifting uncomfortably in her seat, she found the soft leather strangely rough against her skin, the sensation unsettling. But she knew the real problem was not the seat—it was him.
