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 Nation's Heartthrob Returns To The Country After A Successful Shoot'— the title of the article read.
Valerie Davies's eyes skimmed through the content of the article. On the screen was an attractive young man. His dyed silver hair went well with his pale skin, and he had tattoos creeping up his neck, increasing his allure.
Two moles sat under his beautifully shaped blue eyes, and a faint shadow of seductive smile was there on his face. His collarbone peeked out of his loosely worn shirt, giving of an sensual image. Over all, with his strong and well defined facial features, he was mesmerizing.
Lucian Gray was very much deserving of the title, Nation's Heartthrob. Debuting at the age of eighteen as an actor, he stole the hearts of audiences of all ages through his visuals alone. Moreover, he had talent to back up his fame.
Hearing the knocks on the door made Valerie remove the page from her screen. She then followed that up with an order, "Enter in."
The door opened, and the young man stepped in. Valerie indifferently stared at him as he placed the document on her desk carefully.
She then questioned, "What's the schedule for tonight?"
"A dinner with the Chairman," he voiced out.
After that, she indicated for him to leave, and once he was gone out of the room, she pressed on her forehead, knowing that the day was going to only get eventful.
Her eyes fell on the handsome man on the screen, and she mumbled, "Will we be meeting soon?"

The alleged owner of multitudes of hearts, Lucian Gray, sprawled on the backseat on the mini-van and yawned before commenting, "I am beat."
He then groaned. "I can't seriously go on like this anymore. Clear up my schedule for the week."
"You have to finalize the selection of the role with Mr. White," his manager spoke.
Waving his hand, he voiced out, "Tell him that I am sick."
"The shoot for Andreas—"
"Give them the same excuse," he interrupted his manager. His manner was flippant.
"Lunch with Ms. Clare tomorrow," the manager informed.
He stared at his manager in confusion and asked, "Now, who is that?"
The manager shook his head, and upon noticing that the manager still had a lot to say, he raised his hand, saying, "I meant it when I said to clear my schedule. I want to be in my house and not leave it for the entire week."
"Mrs. Gray arranged a dinner tonight, and she is expecting you in two hours."
Lucian rolled his eyes and responded, "Of course that's a huge—"
Before Lucian could continue, the manager stated, "she did mention on having lots of nude photos of yours to share to press."
Forcing out a smile on his face, he replied through his gritted teeth: "Yes, I mean, a yes. Of course, how can I miss out on a dinner opportunity with my lovely mother?"
Despite saying those words out loud, he cursed within.
