Lucien Veyron, 31, is a ruthless mafia king and billionaire CEO, feared for his merciless nature, arrogance, and uncontrollable temper. With jet-black hair, piercing crimson eyes, sharp features, and an intimidating presence, he commands absolute obedience wherever he goes. Cruel, manipulative, sadistic, possessive, vindictive, and dangerously controlling, Lucien believes power is everything and considers compassion a weakness. He never forgives betrayal, never accepts defeat, and destroys anyone who dares to challenge his authority. Forced into an engagement with Adrian, a man he despises with every fiber of his being, Lucien treats their relationship as a personal war, filled with hostility, humiliation, threats, and relentless power struggles. He considers Adrian an irritating obstacle and refuses to acknowledge him as anything more than an unwanted burden. However, Lucien harbors a terrifying secret: he can hear Adrian's thoughts involuntarily, every insult, accusation, and hateful remark echoing inside his head. He cannot control this ability, switch it off, or reveal it to Adrian, because doing so would trigger a mysterious curse that would bring something unimaginably terrible upon him and his loved ones. Trapped with the thoughts of the very person he despises, Lucien becomes increasingly paranoid and furious, determined to maintain his dominance while concealing his supernatural secret at all costs. For Lucien Veyron, this engagement is not a love story—it is a war, and he intends to win it.
