To Adeline, Victor had always been like a star in the sky, the moon behind the clouds, the snow on a
mountaintop-something dazzling but forever out of reach.
Loving him in secret had always been sweet but painful, a secret she could never confess.
She had admired him for years, but never once had she dared hope they could becsomething more.
So how could it be that the man she stumbled into at her lowest moment... was him?
Memories flashed of his tall, graceful figure on the university track, and her chest ached with that same
bittersweet longing.
Every young girl dreams of giving her first love, her untouched self, to the man she truly adores. But dreams
don’t always ctrue,
She and Victor were destined to remain two parallel lines-she could watch him, but never reach him.
But she didn’t want to die tonight, not like this. She wanted to live.
Forcing down the ache in her heart, she threw her arms around him.
“I was set up too. | need your help...”
Her words were swallowed by the heat of Victor's kiss, wild and consuming.
Her lips carried that cool, subtle fragrance again, teasing him deeper into madness.
For the first tin his life, the man who had always kept women at arm’s length, who swore he would never
marry, never touch, found himself addicted.
Like a god who once believed himself untouchable, only to fall into the world of mortals, stripped of pride,
admitting he was just a man.
He lost himself in her, fumbling, burning, devouring. And together, they fell into the flames.
When Adeline woke, dawn was already seeping into the room.
One glance down revealed the marks on her skin-too many, too vivid,

Her mind spun with flashes of last night's frenzy.
The drug in her body had worn off after the second time. But his hadn't.
Even when fists pounded on the door in the dead of night, he hadn't stopped.
She had been exhausted, wanting him to end it. But thinking of how he had saved her, she couldn't abandon him
when he still burned. She chose to stay with him, to bear it.
And the more she gave, the more unrestrained he became.

Until at last she had fainted in his arms.
Now, shcolored her cheeks as she reached for her clothes. But when she moved, pain shot through her body
like every bone had cundone.
Gasping, she collapsed back on the bed, deciding to rest before dressing.
Her eyes fell-straight onto his face.
Even in sleep, Victor was perfect.
Her breath caught.
It really was him. The man she had loved from afar for so many years.
Joy surged so fierce it nearly broke her chest. She remembered his lips pressed hard to hers, his low voice
promising to take responsibility. Her heart raced, glowing with secret happiness.
He was too good for her. She had always thought of him as cold moonlight, and herself as nothing more than an
ant hiding in the cracks, daring only to look up.
Could such a man really want her? Could they really have a future?
It felt like a dream. A dream she didn’t want to wake from.
Last night, she thought she was doomed. Yet fate had spun around-her savior, her partner through the night,
was the very man she had loved in silence.
Her pulse quickened. She scrambled into her clothes, cheeks aflame, her fingers clumsy with nerves.
She had barely finished dressing when a knock sounded at the door.
“Sir, your breakfast.” A gentle female voice.
Adeline hurried to open it-she couldn't keep hotel staff waiting outside.
But the moment the door swung wide, a burst of white powder exploded across her face.
It stung like fire, burning into her eyes until she couldn’t open them.

Her gaze twisted with venom as she stared at Adeline’s face-still breathtaking even under the dusting of white
powder.
