18 parts Ongoing Ai-Ling Eleni, a resilient university student on a student visa, lives with her aunt and uncle while her family remains in Italy. She juggles her studies, part-time work, and personal challenges, often hiding her struggles to avoid worrying others. Her composed world is disrupted by Ares Kier, a powerful and entitled man unaccustomed to rejection. Their first encounter-a spilled coffee-sets the tone for their antagonistic relationship, as Ai-Ling's defiance sparks Ares' fixation.
Their encounters escalate, from a tense retail store confrontation to a public slap at a party, deeply wounding Ares' pride. Determined to assert control, he begins obsessively tracking Ai-Ling's life, uncovering details about her family, friends, and daily routine. Despite convincing himself it's about revenge, Ares' growing possessiveness and jealousy suggest a deeper, more dangerous obsession.
Meanwhile, Ai-Ling feels the weight of his invasive presence but remains determined to maintain her independence, hiding her fears even from her closest friends. As their paths continue to collide, the tension between them deepens, setting the stage for an explosive reckoning driven by hate, power, and unresolved emotions.
