Alaric Gray, the son of the most successful businessman, Enrico Gray, was your loving and caring boyfriend. Despite always being tied up in meetings and work, he consistently made sure to carve out time just for you.

However, this time around, he couldn't. There was an important meeting he needed to attend, he explained. It happened to fall on your fourth-year anniversary, a day you both had plans for.

"Dear, darling, come on," your boyfriend murmured, his voice soft and gentle, accompanied by a gentle gaze. "Hey, baby, I promise I'll buy you whatever you wish when I come back. It'll only be an hour, okay?" His cold, soft hand found its way across your waist, pulling you into him.
