The concert venue was a riot of colors and sound. Different colors of beautiful light flashed in the environment as loud K-pop music kept banging from the five speakers arranged on the stage. Thousands of people filled the concert, and the touch of light from their phones gave the scene a vibrant aura. Five beautiful ladies dressed as security agents kept shaking their bodies on stage as their main vocalist, a man in his late twenties, sang the chorus of the K-pop the pianists were playing. While many people supported this glorious beat, a few kept booing the song, yelling they were bored with K-pop and wanted to listen to something else.

A few minutes ago, Annabella had just finished her performance on stage and felt exhausted and spent. Her back ached from hours of dancing and singing, and all she craved was a soothing massage and a cup of cold soda. She ran to her dressing room, hoping to have a quiet moment. However, she couldn't escape the shouting of her adoring fans, who were waiting for her in large numbers, calling out her name. They were supposed to be listening to the K-pop music a popular artist was playing, but they decided to skip it and torture her with their loud screaming instead.

"I love you, slay queen! Will you marry me?"

"Give me your autograph!"

"Sign my clothes!"

"Kiss my lips!"

"Are you dating the Korean idol, Lee Eul? Or the Thai sugar boy, P'Nuttarat?"

Hundreds of fans kept shouting and asking her questions at once, eager to get closer to her.

"I will answer your questions later; I'm exhausted now! Thank you for your love and dedication. I love you guys, I love you so much!" Annabella screamed at them happily, waving her little fingers, hoping they would back down in their pursuit, but they didn't stop shouting her name, and this bothered her because she was desperate for fresh air.

"Hey, babe, don't faint here, or else I will feed your flesh to the vultures," Eden, her song director, whispered into her ears, and she quickly rested on his broad body. With a silent plea, she signaled to her manager to handle her fans and secretly slipped out through the back door, thanks to one of her good friends' distraction.

The heels she wore were torture, causing her to wobble awkwardly as she tried to find her way to her car. She searched the parking lot but couldn't find her car. She quickly called her driver, who informed her that he parked it in the VIP section. She was frustrated but quickly headed to the VIP section. Unfortunately, on getting there, she hit her foot against a stone, causing her to lose her balance.

Just when she thought she would stumble, a strong hand gently held her waist. She looked up in surprise, her breath catching as she met the gaze of her savior. His smile was gentle, and his striking features left her in awe. His hair was raven-black, and his eyes were as red as red wine. His nose was straight, and his lips, oh my, those lips were like temptation incarnate. She couldn't help but notice his well-defined chest, visible through his partially unbuttoned shirt; he had eight-pack abs, and she drooled at his chest. Her initial embarrassment melted into something else as she found herself caught in his gaze.

'Is this man the devil's eldest son? Is he the Prince of darkness?' she wondered, her mind racing with numerous questions.

"Hello! Are you alright?" His gentle voice, tinged with concern, quickly snapped her back to reality.
