She will come to realize that behind the wealth and control lies a world she was never meant to see, a world of blood, secrets and power, but the deeper she falls into it, the more she realises something more disturbing, Lucien didn't chose her out of convenience, He choose her even before she knew who he was or even his name, the very night she saved his life. Now she is at a crossroad.. Is she fighting for her life or slowly falling for the man who wants to own it?
