Everyone said Maria Sinclair, the eldest daughter of the Sinclair family, was insane. She had set her sights on Elias Lawson, the cold and moonlit second son of the Lawson family. On a rainy night, she had her men block his car and threw a contract in his face. "Sign it. From today on, you're mine." The whole city was betting on when Elias would escape. But no one knew that in that seemingly violent seizure, Elias's fingers trembled around the pen, not from anger, but because he was afraid he might smile. Until one night, Maria saw a line of text flash across him. [Poor Maria. She doesn't know that Elias's first love is about to return from abroad.] She froze. Then she smiled. It was a smile colder than anything Elias had ever seen. This game, she was done playing.
