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.
The next couple of days, she had been busy with the preparations of the wedding. At first, she thought it would be a hassle, but the idea of holding a wedding ceremony with Lucian got her to be excited.
She was dragged along by everyone's enthusiasm.
Although Lucian did most of the planning, she inputted her ideas here and there. Over all, she didn't have much requirements other than having her friends there along with Lucian being her groom.
But it was different for Lucian who demanded perfection.
Seeing how much effort he put into it made her call it unnecessary at one time, and that only resulted in her getting scolded by him.
In the end, he groaned and pointed out how the situation between was changed compared to normal couples. Apparently, usually, it was the females showing excitement, and Valerie only displayed indifference.
This got him to ask if she was even looking forward to get married with him.
