She embodied sensuality and undeniable charm that no man or woman could deny. Whether they were upright or bent, everyone's gaze was pulled to her. Her smile, frown, and every slight movement she made were enough to affect one’s mentality for the whole day. She was the charmer who was appointed and recognized by everyone in the school, whether they were teachers or students. She was that popular. In this charmer's world, there was no such thing as love. Love was a disease that perverted people's minds and led them astray, and she didn't want to live in such a world. But everything changed when he unexpectedly marched into her life, surprising her. Forcing her to break down the barriers she had up for more than two decades. He was the only one who was present. And he wasn't afraid to take what he wanted since he had the means. For him, being in love was a waste of time, and being faithful to one person was not his strong suit. Why bother investing in a single tree when he could own the entire forest? And when he saw her, his life was turned upside down. For him, it was love at first sight. He disliked it at first but eventually came to respect and like it. This sensation was novel to him and seemed unreal. He was completely in love with her, but her defenses were far too high and strong for him to break through. Will this prince charming and playboy from another school be able to captivate and seduce the school charmer? Will she be able to tear down the barriers she had built to allow him entry into her world, or will she continue to keep him at a distance?
When Duke saw that Xavier was finally talking to him, he straightened his posture and looked at the man despite the fear that was engulfing him.
"Yes, sir, I will not let her down!" he solemnly vowed.
Although Xavier scared him and made him feel very tiny and tremble with every glare or glance, he still didn't want Xavier to undermine his love for Darica.
Xavier who was frosty a second ago, suddenly warmed up like the sun, stunning Duke, who was still trying to cope with the other a second ago.
He looked at Darica and found the other just sitting there with a calm gaze and a small smile hung on her lips.
From the way he was seeing, it seemed that Darica knew somehow that would happen, which was why she was relaxed.
"Dad, it's enough. Stop scaring him!"
"Fine, fine, fine. I will stop here!" Xavier under Darica's order, finally acquiesced.
Darica seeing that Xavier was no longer being playful, looked at Duke with smiling eyes.
