[Proud, alluring heroine x gentle, dark hero]

No romance-addled leads! A sweet, satisfying romance with suspense, too!

I came to you, believing it was our first meeting. To me, it was a long-awaited reunion I had spent my whole life searching for.

I imagined countless times what kind of person you would like. I kept trying to become just that. You told me, “From this moment on, I’ll always protect you, with everything I have, until death do us part.”

But what I wanted wasn’t habit or your indulgence, and I wasn’t something you owned.

All I wanted was your love. I wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, by your side.

You thought I was the one who saved you, but in truth, you saved me.

That day, I brought you home only because you had made me curious. I love everything unknown and uncertain.

I like having everything under my control, and you were the one exception.

I didn’t understand love. I had shut my heart away because of the past, and you taught me what it meant.

All your schemes, disguises, and careful moves were simply meant to make me love you and teach me what love was.

That day, the first snow had just cleared, and the full moon hung overhead.

I ran to you and leaped into your arms.

I love you. Thank you for coming into my life and helping me find myself again and break free of my chains. From now on, we’ll never be apart.

The sapphire necklace glimmered faintly like moonlight. From beginning to end, it had witnessed our separation and known how we felt about each other.
