“How amusing. I never imagined a goddamn will like this would be waiting for me.”

The new master of House Floris, Lucas Veloster.

And the ill-fated connection his grandfather’s will bound him to, the fallen baron, Avery Aven.

Excessively delicate features.

A voice and expression still bearing traces of youth.

Shabby clothes and a frail frame.

Avery Aven, in a word, was utterly beneath standard.

Lucas, reluctantly taking Aven in as his secretary, set out to drive Aven away with his own hands, using himself as bait.

At that time, he didn’t yet know.

That he would come to desire Avery Aven with such fierce longing.

That Avery Aven’s name was nothing but a fabrication.

“I’m the one who was deceived and toyed with, shouldn’t it be me who condemns and forgives you?”

When Lucas realized he’d been a pawn in Aven’s elaborate fraud, he resolved to shackle Aven — no, her, by his side.

Smothering the unrelenting hunger within himself beneath layers of hatred.
