She was a girl with stars in her eyes-dreams far bigger than the small world around her. But among those dreams, there was one she never planned: falling in love with him.
The boy who wouldn't even glance her way.
The boy who acted like she didn't exist.
The boy who seemed to hate her with every breath.
But fate has a strange sense of humor-because one day, everything changed.
The boy who once avoided her like a shadow... fell deeply in love.
/////////////////
He stormed into the room, eyes dark with confusion and anger. Grabbing her arm tightly, he looked into her eyes.
"Why? Why are you saying no?" His voice cracked slightly, but his jaw was clenched.
"Please... I can't do this. I don't want to marry you now," she whispered, trying to pull away, her voice shaking.
He stared at her, stunned. "You don't want to marry me? Are you serious right now? You were the one who kept saying you loved me-over and over. What changed?"
His mind raced. Was she just making excuses? Was it because of... that incident?
She met his gaze, eyes filled with pain. "Because I don't want your sympathy. I want love-not pity."
A beat of silence. Then he stepped closer, voice low but firm.
"Sympathy? You think that's what this is? That I'm doing all of this out of guilt or obligation?" He let out a sharp breath.
"Whatever you think, let me be clear-this isn't about sympathy. I love you. And in one week... we're getting married."
He released her hand, turned, and walked out-leaving her frozen in place.
Want to know what changed between them? Let's go back to where it all began...

Boundaries of Obsession
His eyes told how dark his thoughts were, what devilish aura he shadowed if she accepted him and was ready to listen to him no one could imagine his doings. She only seeks solitude, but he seeks her, and he craves her as if his life depended on her. He is the cause of her pain. She only wishes to go away from all the emotions, but he can never let that happen. He can show his tears to her, but can she wipe them? Maybe God wanted to create an unforgettable story. His aura screams power that no one can deny except bowing. Her soul reflects others' sins for what others fear to acknowledge. Did she hate him for giving her pain? No, she never hated him. She changed herself.. but what change? She loves him! Maybe not... then what changed...? Love, why is it so difficult either to gain or to lose... "I don't like it when you think about things other than me," he said Is this the start of his madness, or is he already drowned in insanity? She is his heart.........She is the eternal echo God cast into existence for his life. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● He is taking every step near to her, his deep dark eyes looking at her serene, calm face... she is looking directly into his deep, dark ebony eyes... she can clearly see the insanity in his eyes... "Sweetheart, I told you not to think about other things.... but why would you like to provoke me... ha, " his voice is deadly low, sending an electrifying jolt. She is just standing in front of him looking into his sinister soul... He touched her cheek gently, rubbing the soft, gentle, dried tear marks.. He kissed her forehead... she closed her eyes, accepting her fate from which she tried to run away.... "Tell me, sweetheart, what punishment should I give him." A dark mysterious smirk playing on his handsome face... "He is your sister's soon to be husband," she said as he didn't know. He chuckled, a mocking, sinister, extremely insane smile

"Claim? I'm not yours." "You were mine the moment I saw you," he said, his hand sliding to her jaw. "Every fear, every wall you hide behind-they're mine now. I'll tear them down, one by one, until there's nothing left between us." Her lips trembled. "Why me?" "Because I've never wanted anyone else," he whispered. "And I never will."
