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.
"Are you having fun?" asked Damien. His tone was lowered, sounding dangerous.
Leslie nodded her head.
"Totally."
With that, she was about to lean closer to the man seated beside her. However, the man had his body stiffened when Damien's scary gaze fell on him.
And only then did it hit the drunk Leslie how familiar the voice was.
She turned back to see Damien standing behind her. On his face played that menacing smile she had grown to become familiar with. This made chills travel down her back.
She gulped.
"Look here, Damien. I can explain. Really."
He raised one of his eyebrows and folded his hands over his chest.
"Go on."
And then, she took that as the opportunity to flee away from him. But before her plans could be carried out, he grabbed her waist and pulled her back. A yelp left her mouth when he suddenly put her on his shoulder.
This got her to move around, struggling in his grip to make him let go of her.
