WARNING[R18] At a glittering masquerade, Lilia's world shatters when her parents unveil an engagement to Lowell—a man she never consented to marry. Desperate and cornered, the words tumble out before she can stop them: "I'm already engaged to him." Her gaze locks onto a mysterious silver-haired stranger across the VVIP section, and the entire ballroom pivots toward Zethan in stunned silence. Her pulse races as she waits for his response, unsure if she's just liberated herself or plunged into something far more dangerous. Trapped between her family's expectations and her own reckless impulse, Lilia's declaration ignites absolute chaos. Lowell reels in shock. Her parents scramble desperately for answers. Yet Zethan watches with an unnerving intensity, his gaze suggesting he's been waiting for this exact moment all along. The air crackles with possibility and peril. Their destinies were never left to chance. This obsessed vampire had already claimed her from the shadows long before she learned his name—and now, everything she thought she knew unravels into mystery, romance, and the dark allure of a game she never asked to play.
