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.
Seemingly having nothing to do, Rye followed Lucian to the shoot today. Because of her status, no one dared to say much to her. Sitting on the chair, Rye watched Lucian pose under the camera.
Her eyes narrowed at him when she noticed the female model leaning way too close to him. It was obviously scripted and a part of his job. But that didn't make Rye feel positively.
It got her to clench her hand tightly around the cup of coffee in her hand. If it wasn't for Valerie, she would have blocked Lucian out from this line of work a long time ago.
Despite how much he shone as an actor, Rye hated how he had to have too much contact with others, and the socializing part that came with his job made it worse.
Lucian didn't need to work, but if he chose to, she preferred if he selected something dull that wouldn't get him to meet with other people.
