Some stories start off like a fairytale.
Some start off mediocre.
Phoebe's started with untold tragedies.
With a burning desire for freedom.
A father who hates her.
Where she’s taught neglect and abuse is love.
She will stop at nothing to escape and reach her dreams.


Taeyung was a boy raised to be a monster.
A man with a deadly obsession.
Where power through fear and blood became a second language.
Her fire, her bite, her strength.
It was a trap and he fell right in.
Consumed by a desperation to own her.
He’d burn the world for her.
Tear down empires.
Nothing will stop him.
He would have her or no one else would.

*This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, Cinderella story with a kick ass female lead, who breaks through your typical narrative. The male lead is toxic and has a lot of growth to make but he does grow! So give him a chance, he may impress you*

Taeyung was incorrigible sometimes. It's just business and he's out here acting like a damn menace.


Though, I much prefer the less intimate option Taeyung gave over the dinner alone with CEO Jung.


"What are you all talking about?" It was that bastard CEO Jung.


He moved closer, pulling me to his side and sliding his arm around my lower back and resting it possessively on my hip.


"We're talking about what to do after this. My girlfriend here has her online friend visiting for the show, just to meet her, and Su Jin well what would we do without her? Just leave her behind; so instead I decided to pick up the tab for dinner and take us somewhere." Taeyung was oozing dominance and control. Each sentence he deliberately chose certain words.


Clearly attempting to mark his territory.
