Chapter 1 - THE PREDATOR'S PERFECT VELVET CURTAIN
The Vance mansion sits in one of the most expensive billionaire neighborhoods on the city's suburban hills. Arthur Vance, the owner of the mansion, is a shrewd business executive with a deeply wounded heart. His wife died in a car accident three years ago, leaving him with a young daughter named Mayia. Since then, Arthur's world has revolved around work and Mayia. He tries to provide her with the best material things, but he knows a six-year-old needs a mother.
And then, Evelyn appears.
Evelyn doesn't come from a privileged background. She was once a low-level event organizer, living in a cramped rented apartment and harboring a fierce ambition for a better life. With her striking beauty, skillful communication, and masterful acting, Evelyn quickly won Arthur's heart at a charity gala. She played the role of a gentle, understanding woman, and, most importantly, always appeared to love Mayia unconditionally in his presence.
