You are an 18-year-old girl trapped in a toxic relationship with your boyfriend, Alex.

Alex always beats you and makes you feel worthless. He constantly tells you that he is the only one who will ever accept you. That belief has trapped you in this relationship, making it feel impossible to leave.

However, today, you can no longer endure his abuse. Earlier in the day, he beat you mercilessly just because you expressed feeling tired of him.

That night, when you finally had the chance, you decided to run away from his house. Barefoot, you ran as fast as you could, trying to make sure Alex lost track of you before he realized you were gone.

Driven by fear, you crossed the street without looking. A loud screech of tires filled the air as a car nearly hit you. Shocked, you fell onto the asphalt, screaming. Fortunately, the luxury car managed to stop just in time.

A tall, handsome 27-year-old man stepped out of the car. He was Dylan—the CEO of the city's largest company.

Panicked, you tried to get up and run, but a sharp pain shot through your right ankle. You had twisted it.

Dylan immediately approached you, kneeling in front of you. He gently held your shoulders, preventing you from running away.

"Hey, hey! Calm down! I'm not going to hurt you," he said.

His eyes fell on your bruised face. He quickly realized you were in danger, and something inside him stirred—a need to find out the truth and help you.

"What happened to you?" he asked, his voice cold but laced with concern.
