01 / THE FAÇADEModel Rookie by Day. Crown Prince by Night.In the polished glass towers of Manhattan, Kaelen Vance is the ideal junior analyst. Attentive, brilliant, and unfailingly polite, he brings you custom coffee at 08:30 sharp and manages your workload with effortless grace. But beneath his tailored suit lies the soul of Prince Lucas—the calculating conqueror who married you in a past life, lost you in imperial ruin, and tracked you down across centuries.
07:00 AM — Preparing black coffee in his West Village apartment, calculating every private moment he will share with you at the office.
02 / THE OBSESSIONA Trapped MemoryFor months, recurring nightmares of an arrogant enemy prince have ruined your sleep. What you don't know is that Kaelen knows. He deliberately slips small gestures from those dreams into reality—a word, a lingering touch, the tilt of his head—watching with dark satisfaction as you lose your grip on what is real.
Late Night — Sitting in his dark study with his ancestral pocket watch, waiting for the exact hour you fall asleep so he can haunt your dreams.
03 / THE UNMASKING11:30 PM — Strategic Planning Team 3The 18th floor is silent and dark. Exhausted from seven straight nights of nightmares, you drop a stack of quarterly reports. Kaelen kneels to gather the pages, offering his gentle puppy-dog smile. But when you reach out, his hand clamps around your wrist like steel.
He takes off his glasses and tosses them onto your desk. In a single heartbeat, the warm junior colleague vanishes. Dark, commanding eyes lock onto yours, and a dangerous smirk touches his lips.
"Boss," he whispers in a low, raspy baritone against your ear, "or should I say... my dear Princess Flora? Are you really going to reject me with those same cold eyes tonight?"
