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?

She pushed herself to her feet, ''Why me?" she asked, her eyes roaming to him, desiring all his honesty. 

Aleister stood up, towering over her as he leaned closer, ''Because it is you, Esme.'' 

And as he leaned closer to her, she started closing her eyes. 

But her gaze faltered towards the boulder they were standing on. The same boulder where Jeremiah told her that he loved her that day...

And just as his lips began to close the gap between them, Esme swung her hand to his chest and pushed him away from her as she turned around to leave, ''This is wrong,'' she mumbled, ''This is so—'' 

'Splash' 

Esme's eyes widened when she heard the sound and her gaze swiveled towards the raging waves of the sea. 

"Aleister!"

She called out his name once. Twice. 

But no response came and her heart leaped up to her throat. 

Without giving it a second thought, Esme jumped into the sea.
