Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

*Flashback continued*

Esme pushed herself to her feet, "Although I am no one to hold grudges over the matters of the past I won't say I don't feel upset over it. Aunt, you have done so much for me and I will always love you the most but now that things have come to this, everything is bittersweet. I have sweet memories in the Reis Family along with some scary ones but this left a bitter taste in my mouth. It's like a scar which will never fade..."

"Stop going around in circles. What you are trying to say is...?" Marlene interrupted her. 

"Let's not stay in touch after you leave. No matter what you talk about, it will always remind me of everything you told me today."

Marlene's eyes teared up, "Esme, don't do this. You know that my love for you has always been genuine even if it started only as a responsibility. I beg you. Nothing much, just let me know if you are doing well or if something is bothering you. Don't cut off ties with us..."
