"Also mine." The man’s face twisted in disbelief. "And… her too?" Eric nodded casually. "What can I say? A king doesn’t turn away his queens." Frustrated, the other man threw his hands in the air. "How many women do you even need?!" Eric grinned, tilting his head slightly. "As long as beauty exists, they will always belong to me." --- Life had always been cruel.

Steven spent years of his life as the perfect husband—loyal, self-sacrificing, and always putting his wife, Nora, first.  What he didn't know was that all of that would be destroyed in one night when someone from the past returned. Ryan Thomas—Nora's ex-boyfriend. The man she thought she had forgotten... but who never really left Nora's heart and memory. With a fake smile and feigned kindness, Ryan slowly poisoned Nora's mind. Accusations, insults, and suspicions. All were hurled at Steven—a man who never even defended himself. Until one day, after being thoroughly humiliated, Steven said only one sentence: "I'll let you see who you're really looking down on." Then the divorce happened. And the world saw something unimaginable: Steven is not an ordinary man. He is the heir and owner of a global business empire that even the president must respect. The man who had been trampled on all this time... turned out to be a giant who was deliberately hiding. When Steven returned to his true identity, the world was shaken. That was his time to do revenge on them. And only one person was unprepared to face that reality—Nora. While Steven rose to the height of his power, Nora sank into regret that could never be undone. She pursued him. She charmed him. She begged him. But Steven just stared at her coldly and said: "From now on, consider me never yours."

Kael dropped his hands down, causing his blade to run along the jagged ground, sending burst of sparks infused with dark-magic across the floor. His victim, a bloodied werewolf, laid on the ground, staring at him with his one trembling eye. Kael growled as he knelt beside the dying beast. “They sent me to tell you, wolf…” He lifted his sword and placed it on werewolf’s neck. “… your end has come.” .................

He is something more... With everything and everyone after him, will Kael become the monster he was designed to be, or seal the pact that wants to end him?
