Van Helgram, the notorious, depraved man who killed his two half-brothers.
To Winter, he was the son of her enemy and once a fiancé.
After the loss of her family, Winter now lived as an assassin, where she received a job to kill Van Helgram.
On this mission, she was determined to end their ill-fated connection once and for all…
But when she infiltrated his bedroom, Van Helgram overpowered Winter with a mischievous smile on his face,
“Do you find this amusing? I came here to kill you.”
“I don’t care. I’m the one who ordered the hit.”
The rumors were true. Van Helgram was clearly insane.
“Marry me, Winter. I’ll give you a reason to live.”
“Ha, marry? A reason to live? What could a fool like you possibly offer me?”
“I’ll gift you my father’s death. In exchange, become mine.”
A woman who lost everything to the emperor and abandoned her humanity, and the emperor’s son who killed his half-brothers after losing his mother.
The two married for revenge.
*
“I disposed of everything that could shake your heart.”
Winter couldn’t understand what he was saying.
She thought this marriage was only for revenge, not love.
Could it be different for him?
“Please love me. Save me, Winter…”
The walls she had built around her heart began to crumble before him as he begged for affection, for life.
Under the beautiful and relentless gaze of this beast, Winter felt an urgent need to flee.
