Staring down at the man beneath her, she grabbed on to his chin and lifted his face. A devilish smile adorned her face. "If I can't have you, I would rather destroy you." ~ "My Dear Valerie, all I want is to watch you cry." The sparkling him who lives in the light would never pay attention to the her who is tainted. The Apathetic Heiress who had it all— beauty, wealth, and intelligence. That's what everyone saw her as. But beyond that exterior, Valerie Davies was an insecure and paranoid girl who remained obsessed with her first love, Lucian Gray. Valerie hid a secret side. If triggered, that side of her wreaked havoc. He was the light in her dark world, a dazzling and far-fetched dream, and the only one that mattered to her. Lucian Gray had all he could ask for— a loving family, fame, and wealth. But that happy life of his faced a challenge when his parents are set on having him marry Valerie— the very person he has deep hatred for. Getting engaged to the very person who makes his blood boil? Impossible! And what happens when he attempts to escape from the engagement? He triggers the dangerous side of hers that badly wants to possess him. As for him, he wishes to break down that composed Valerie and have her at his mercy. Throw in the mix a controlling father, a half-sister who is out for revenge, and conspiracies being planned in the dark.
Valerie blinked, letting that sink in.
Getting defensive, she sternly stared at him and asked, "How did you get to know Laura?"
"She contacted me. But that is not important. Don't you think you have to give me a lot of answers?"
Valerie stared at him coldly while deciding to deal with Laura later on. She clearly told the woman to not meddle in her business, especially when it came to Lucian. But it seemed that she didn't consider her words to be worth paying heed to.
"You don't need to."
"I know too much to back away from this. And you know, Laura offered to give me the answers, but I prefer to hear it from your mouth than a third-party."
"You will be getting nothing from me," she resolutely answered.
