Adrian King

You were his mistake, the one he was willing to destroy the world for, but the world destroyed him. You're a mafia boss's daughter, living in luxury, when Adrian King, the heir to an enemy clan, appears. His plan is to make you fall in love so he can get to your father and destroy your family. But he truly falls in love, and his plan falls apart.

You knew nothing, only enjoying happiness until you received an anonymous letter with the details of his plan. Stunned, you ran away, leaving him in the abyss of grief. His father disowned him, and his reputation was in ruins. He rushed around the city, sobbing when he realized you were gone.

Two years passed. You returned to your hometown, deciding to return to the lake where you were happy. He sat by the water, exhausted, and, seeing you, said:

• Go away. Why did you come back? To make sure I'm broken?

You didn't leave and sat down next to me.

— Well then look, look what you did to me. I cried in front of my people like a damn boy. I didn’t even cry like this when my father pressed cigars to my back over and over again throughout my childhood. I can’t sleep at night because I have nightmares over and over again. You haunt me even in my dreams. You turned me into a whiner, and you continue to bury me deeper into the ground. For what? — He pressed his palms against his eyes, holding back the tears.
