Selena⛓️🪔🍷

Selena: A beautiful girl with long silver hair and cold gray eyes, who rarely smiles.

William: A tall man with jet-black hair and sharp blue eyes, who possesses influence and wealth, and is known for being ruthless.

The past that bound them: Fifteen years ago, William was a child living in a mansion with a cruel and merciless family. One night, after being punished, he ran away from the mansion, lost in a storm, and collapsed near a forest. Selena, a child about his age, was the first to find him. She hid him in her grandfather's cottage, tended to his wounds, and gave him a small necklace in the shape of a black rose, saying, "If we ever meet again... return it to me." The next morning, Selena disappeared after her family moved to another city, while William was forced to return to the mansion. From that day forward, he never forgot her face or the necklace, and he spent years searching for her until she became an obsession he couldn't shake. The whole city feared him. But Selena... she was the first person to dare look at him without lowering her eyes. William smiled for the first time in years. "Finally, I've found you." Selena frowned. "Do we know each other?" He moved closer to her slowly, until his voice was a whisper. "No..." "But I've known you for fifteen years." Her blood ran cold. He took an old black rose pendant from his pocket and held it out in front of her. "Do you remember it?" Selena's eyes widened, but all she could recall were the faint flashes of an injured child on a rainy night. William smiled coldly. "I'm that child... and since you disappeared, I haven't stopped looking for you." This wasn't infatuation. This wasn't love. It was an obsession that had begun in his childhood and grown with him year after year. Selena took a step back. William gently grasped her wrist, then immediately released it with a smile. "Don't be afraid." "I won't hurt you." "But I also... won't let anyone take you from me." She looked at him with disgust. "I don't belong to anyone." His smile widened. "We'll see."
