My motto : Never owe anyone anything .

Now I regret this motto so much cause it brought me a lot of troubles when I accidentally bumped into a demon , Helios .

All enemies fear him ,his wealth is beyond imagination and every woman begs just to get a glimpse of his attention but not me .

I’m just a simple girl who has her mind set on her professional career. Our ways met accidentally and fate kept pushing us in front of each other .

Is this good or bad luck????

His biggest enemy was his aunt, my biggest problem , that ruined my family's peace was my uncle's wife .

I wanted to become someone important , he wanted to get back his title and make his aunt resentful .

Even though we didn't get along we understood that the best way for both of us to get what we wanted was to collaborate .

After we succeed then each one goes on his and her way but he refused to let me go .

At the beginning I thought of it as something easy to handle but little did I know that I was about to be mixed in the royal family issues because of this annoying guy .

His possessive love , sweet like honey has trapped me , pulling me in more troubles than before. I am strong but this attention is too much for me .

Will I ever be able to free myself out of this mess ?
