What happens when a person who has seen the dark side of the world since childhood and is emotionally cut off meets a person that always likes to look at other people in bright light?
What happens when a person who thinks all people come after him with an ulterior motive meets a person who does everything out of complete purity?
What happens when Vincent Vincenzo, a member of the mafia and a man who fakes a smile most of the time, meets Lucy Nam, a former country bumpkin, and an absolute ray of sunshine?

>>Lucy
It’s weird.
It’s very weird.
>>Lucy“It sure is dark, isn’t it?” I asked.“Yep,” Luca answered, “I can’t see a thing.”We both moved our heads around but it wasn’t going to do us any good since we were blinded and tied.When the boss said he had a better idea about what to do with us, he suddenly gestured to some guards to do their thing and I really have no idea where they came from and knocked us out.Gotta say, that was a weird idea.We woke up on a cold hard floor, blinded and tied. So the only thing we’ve done so far is sit up and sit cross legged in the same place.&nbs
>>Lucy“Woah!” A gasp escaped both of our lips and we stared at the gun that was pointed at us. He already killed a person, right in front of us. I didn’t want to see that. No one would ever want to see that. That’s just cruel.“Boss, that was not nice.” Luca said in a very dim voice“Yeah..” I looked down, “What if he had a family?” I asked with a sorrowful expression.Vincent and Ramessa looked at us with observant eyes. Especially the boss, I could tell he was trying to read us. What we were saying was odd to say in our situation after all. But honestly, we were a bit shaken up.
“If you don’t do this, you will never be able to find what you're looking for.”>>LucyBlinded once again and this time tied up in metal cuffs. These things aren’t easy to break but I wasn’t going to attempt and break them anyway and stayed quiet. I had to be here, with him, for a reason.I believe this time I was separated from Luca because I can’t sense him around me. It’s a twin thing, being able to sense his closeness.“Where are we going?” I asked the person driving.I didn’t receive an answer.I think Vincent is the one driving the car because I sense no
>>Lucy“It’s quite a view,” Vincent said, “And you might be able to catch it if you can break out of these chains.” He chuckled, “And well you can even save your hands, keep them intact.”The time ticked by and my heart began to pound.Breaking zip ties and breaking a metal handcuff is an entirely different thing!!“Boss…”“Time’s ticking by darling,” I heard him take several steps back, “You better hurry.” He sat down.I pouted.When I started living in the city, I learn
>>LucyThe cold weapon was taken off my skin and I heard light laughter.I timidly looked at Vincent who was having the time of his life.“You like me?’ He looked at me, “Wow,” He passed me a smirk, “That’s a cute excuse.”Excuse?So he doesn’t believe me? Well, of course he wouldn’t, I am lying after all and I am not a good liar.I laughed nervously, “Can you let my hair go?” He was still pulling on them.“Oh but darling that still doesn’t explain your reaction about those murders.&r
>>LucyThe feeling of suffocation started making me feel like I was drowning.I felt like I couldn’t do anything since it was hard to move my body.No!All of the sudden I gasped and suddenly I was free.I could breathe again.“Wake up.” A flick of pain on my forehead made me open my eyes.The first thing I saw when I woke up was a handsome face and pretty blue eyes staring at me.“Huh?” I focused on the person leaning on the couch’s back looking down on me, “B
>>Lucy“Vincent!” The other guy called out his name in horror“What?” Vincent’s voice was calm and at the moment, he looked like a villain. An evil person that cared for nothing.“W-why?”“You said this was a permanent thing. No one is going to take her after this and I doubt she’d like to live so miserably.” Vincent didn’t spare the little girl another glance.“But, maybe we could have done something!” The other guy seemed unnerved.Vincent’s gaze was cold, “I know the world better than you.&rdquo
>>LucyVincent brought me back to his penthouse but for some reason he didn’t turn on the lights.Night had fallen by the time we reached back and the place was quite dark at first but as seconds passed by I realized that a lot of light was coming in from the windows.Vincent quietly went and sat there on the couch and stared straight outta the window looking at the distant small lights.For a little while I stood in the darkness and watched him from behind while he quietly sat in his place with his back to me.The view was quite calming and it made me wonder, did he get this apartment to look at this and calm himself down every now and then?&n
