Aldana Candi feels her heartbeat involuntarily quicken. She doesn't even realize that her eyes have brightened slightly, bringing a momentary glow to her otherwise lifeless face of the past few months.
Steven Balance sits beside her, watching her with a smile, his gaze falling on her bright and enchanting eyes. It is as if a small flower is blooming in his heart, a slight sweetness making the smile at the corners of his mouth more genuine.
As hateful as this woman is, as much as he wants to kill her, when he sees her smiling and joyful appearance, his heart can't help but stir.
The so-called love might be a grave illness. And he's almost incurably ill.
