Rayver Mitsuo Amano is a well-bred gentleman who came from a prominent family. A rich, 20-year-old bachelor and a college student. He was an intelligent, handsome young man and many rich parents are eyeing him to be their son-in-law. He is the successor and the next leader of the Amano clan, though; he didn't think about that idea much. On the outside, he looked tough, mature, intelligent and all the qualities a young master should possess, but deep down inside he is still an immature kid who only wanted to have a carefree life and do some normal stuff like an average guy.
Today, he left the office at exactly 5 pm. He was doing an internship in one of their company's branches; he was the general manager and he wasn't in the mood to go home yet. He made his way to his usual hideout. It was his secret place since he was in high school, but it has been 4 years since he went there. He just wants to go there and have a nice quiet night for a change. He knew that one of these days his life would transform; he knew that his grandmother was planning a gathering for the elite family, mostly for the ladies for him to choose from. Though he already had an arranged marriage before, however, his grandmother was still planning to look for a better option. Even if he doesn't want to choose he needs to do it for the sake of his family's business. Well, to put it exactly, it was for his grandmother's pride. Her grandmother was a lady of vanity who wanted to be surrounded by accomplished people.
However, he was not done admiring his secret place when he heard a woman talking; it sounded like she was arguing with someone over the phone. He didn't understand what was being talked about, though he was not curious about it. What he was curious about is what is this woman doing in his territory?
The call ended. And he heard the girl shout something.
"Bullshit!" He can hear some frustrations in her voice.
He felt the urge to go near the woman, not to comfort her but to know what she was doing on his home turf. His secret hideout was a small old house in the outskirts near the river bank. It was well hidden that only a few people could find it. He was just lucky that when he was 7 years old; when kidnappers threatened his life, he was able to escape with the help of his driver back then and while he was running aimlessly, he made a turn to the river bank not too far from the incident and he found this place. He didn't tell this place to his family. He only wanted to keep this to himself. Even Raeven was not aware of this place. This place was a small abandoned house with a single room and broken windows. He came to an open room and saw a young woman who was sitting on the floor with no complaint when the floor was not comfortable to sit on.

He was curious. Then he noticed her uniform. Ah, a girl from Raeven's school... Then the girl felt his presence, and she abruptly stood up from being slumped on the dirty floor.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here?" She was so feisty and hot at the same time. This is the first thing he thought about. She was an exquisite lady, she's of mixed race. "Are you a retard? Or a pervert? If you don't talk, I will call the police!" She threatened him and put the phone on her ears to let him know that she was serious.
"Miss, please, no need to call the police. I just wanted to know what you are doing in such a remote place alone." He began. The young lady just crossed her arms and glared at him.
"None of your business, as if I will tell you. You can leave. You are trespassing. This is private property." She said with full authority.
His courteous smile freezes on the spot. Since when did this piece of land become hers? "I'm sorry, but this place is not owned by anyone. And besides, this was my place a long time ago. Have you heard of respecting someone's boundary? This is my territory. So, you need to leave." He said, his voice stern and serious this time.
The young lady can't believe her ears. "I'm sorry?! Do you know who I am? I'm Victoria Greene!" She told her name with arrogance not even aware that she had just given her name to a stranger.
He was stunned. So, this is the so-called “adopted” daughter of the Greene clan...He was not sure, but he felt something, and it was not irritation or annoyance. This young lady was challenging his patience. It was a nice breath of fresh air and she was not the same as some of those dainty, composed rich daughters. She has her style and a little attitude. He feels deep inside that it was not the last time they will see each other. Subconsciously he was looking forward to it...
