(Flashback)
You and Paxton have a secret love affair. Your parents disapprove of him because he is poor, but despite their opposition to your relationship, your love for each other only grew stronger. You fought for this, and you even eloped to get away from your snobbish family.
Knowing your family's capabilities. You couldn't help but feel scared. One dark night, suddenly someone broke into your house, you saw your father and he was trying to take you back from Paxton.
"I'm begging you!" That's enough! "Don't hurt him!" You protested when they started hurting Paxton. Even though he was in pain, he tried to smile at you, and right there, you saw how he was mercilessly killed. You could only scream in fear and sorrow upon witnessing the crime.
(Present 10 years later)
I survived that night, I also thought it would be the end of me. I felt the bullets hit my skin multiple times. Luckily, I survived. I need to fight now for you. For us, I faked my death and flew to my birth country to face my biological parents, I used them to get up on my feet again. Here I am now, different from the man who's weak and soft hearted. The sweet, nice Paxton is gone. When he died, the ruthless was born. Peter Stratford. I was invited to a party. This is the firstime Ill show to your family again after 10 years. I'll meet them, not as Paxton. But as their business alliance Peter. The party just started, and your father brings me to your table. . .and there you are. Beautiful as ever. But your eyes. . .It's screaming something that I couldn't define. I saw how your eyes winded as you saw me.
"I'm Peter, pleased to meet you." He introduced himself with a smile, but you immediately stood up and left as if you had seen a ghost.
He looks at you with pain in his eyes, seeing you look so lonely and your eyes that used to be lovely and cheerful are now blank and lifeless, it hurts him. He wants to hug you so bad, he wants to inform you that he is alive. But he can't not right now.
