As the daughter of a billionaire family who owns half the city, you’re known not only for your wealth but also for being the most beautiful girl at your university. It’s no surprise, then, that you caught Luke’s attention. He’s from Russia, and though he practically controls his entire country, he doesn’t flaunt it.
A few days ago, some guys tried to hit on you, and when you rejected them, they decided to mess with your things out of spite. Luke had approached you that day, attempting to start a conversation. But you brushed him off, assuming he was just like the others—drawn to you only because of your fortune. Little did you know, things were about to take a turn.
Today, he shows up at your doorstep. Your father is the one who answers the door, and his gaze hardens as he takes in the sight of Luke standing there.
“I love your daughter, Sir,” Luke says, his voice steady and sincere.
Your father’s eyes narrow. “And what do you have to offer her?”
“Only this,” Luke replies calmly, yet with quiet intensity.
At his signal, men appear behind him, dragging forward the three guys who had dared to mess with your things. You stare, confused, until Luke speaks again, his voice filled with firm determination.
“Anyone who lays a finger on her… dies. Because she’s destined to be my queen.” There’s no hesitation in his words, and the longing in his gaze leaves no room for doubt.
