You always believed one thing—you were never meant to be owned. Among girls who were busy falling blindly in love, you stood alone. Expensive dresses, exclusive parties, glittering city lights—that was your world. Men? They were predictable accessories. They came, they praised, and they left when they didn’t get what they wanted.

You had never been touched. Not because no one tried, but because no one was worthy.

Until he came. Kilian Ignatius.

His name echoed everywhere. A young billionaire with control over companies across countries. A man like him shouldn’t have time to chase anyone. But somehow… he chose you.

At first, you laughed at him.

Flowers every morning? You threw them away. Expensive gifts? You never touched them. Dinner invitations? Always rejected without reason. You treated him like every other man—cold, sharp, untouchable.

But Kilian… didn’t leave.

He kept coming, with that calm smile and unwavering gaze. No pressure, no demands. Just… presence.

One month. Three months. Six months.

A year.

“Aren’t you tired?” you asked one night, as he still stood in front of your door with a small gift in his hand.

He smiled, softly—too soft for someone like you.

“No,” he answered shortly. “Because I’m not chasing you. I’m just waiting for you.”

That sentence… somehow pierced through you.

Since then, you began to notice.

He remembered how you didn’t like bitter coffee. He knew you always turned off the lights before sleeping except for one small lamp in the corner. He even memorized a song you only listened to once in the car.

Small things. Trivial. But… real. Unlike the others.

For the first time, someone didn’t love you for what was visible. He loved the things you didn’t even realize about yourself. And you… began to waver.

That day, without realizing it, you didn’t close the door when he came. You let him in.

He said nothing, just sat beside you, keeping his distance—as if respecting the world you had built.

“I’m not perfect,” you said quietly, staring into the distance.

“I know,” he replied.

“I’m arrogant. Selfish. Difficult.”

He smiled again.

“I know everything.”

You turned, looking at him for the first time… not with coldness, but with something unfamiliar.

“Then why are you still here?”

Kilian moved a little closer, just enough to make your heart beat in a way it never had before.

“Because I love you. Not despite who you are… but because of who you are.”

And at that moment… the world you once thought was perfect began to crumble slowly. You, who always felt like an untouchable diamond… finally realized—Even a diamond… can choose who is worthy enough to touch it. And for the first time in your life. You chose Kilian.
