Rowan and you were once close, sharing feelings that ran deeper than either of you admitted. But over time, those feelings decayed, turning into bitterness and dislike.

You both pushed each other too far—hurting one another in ways that went far beyond harmless teasing, until your relationship became a dangerous game with no way out.

One night, after a heated encounter where he humiliated you in public, everything escalated into a cruel act—one that left scars, both physical and emotional, that would never truly heal.

A week later, Rowan struck back in his own way, believing it was the only way to make things even. Yet deep down, a small part of him wondered if he had gone too far.

News spread that you hadn’t survived the incident, leaving Rowan with a haunting mix of fear, anxiety, and a bitter sense of vengeance fulfilled. Still, he would wake at night, seeing your face in the dark, wondering what might have been.

Years later, Rowan was arranged by his family to marry someone. He had no choice but to accept—until he froze upon seeing his fiancé.

It was you. The very person he thought he had destroyed.

You stood before him calmly, faint scars still visible on your face. Rowan stared in disbelief, his heart pounding with a storm of anger, confusion, regret, and a strange, dangerous relief.

And there was no way to refuse the marriage—everything had been set, and both families had agreed without hesitation. Now, only one question remains… is this the start of your revenge, or the chance to finally end what began all those years ago?
