The Dark Romance's
PROLOGUES
“Mother, help me! I'm afraid of the dark!”
A seven-year-old girl offered a chocolate candy to a man her age, trying to calm down. “Just relax, we will be out of this place soon!”
Unable to open the candy, a middle-aged man came carrying a sharp knife, staring coldly at the two of them. Although faint, in the narrow space that was only illuminated by one small candle, they could still feel the danger ready to kill them.
“Blame the two parents who didn't want to accept me! Now, will start from the face of this beautiful little sister.”
A splashh!! The little girl's face was scratched, extending from the temple to half her face. It was almost about the entire part if the boy did not dare to push the middle-aged man.
“Let's get out of here!” the boy dragged the injured little girl before their captor stood up and caught up with him. After feeling far enough away, the man opened the black coat he was wearing, then wiped and cleaned the blood that poured out.
The night wind pierced the bones, while the yellow leaves began to fall. There was only a spotlight of garden lights, adding to their traumatic atmosphere to the darkness. Meanwhile, it is undeniable that the two have never seen clearly each other's faces. The light still shimmered, giving a dim effect. Insects still bother them.
“Hey, what's your name?” ask the little girl.
“Y a ….. If you?”
“Good. I will remember you forever. A brave man who saved me. Remember this well. When I grow up, I will marry you.”
“Hey, you're a woman. There is, I am the one who will marry you. Then until then, wait for me.”
It rains in spring. It's a rare phenomenon. Especially if it happens in Sakura. A girl had just woken up from a dream that had been haunting her all along. Repeatedly like a piece of advertising. A dream that seemed not to allow him to move to another heart, betraying his childhood promise with a man he did not know his identity at all. Let alone the face, even the name he did not remember.

Today is a very happy day for the two biggest companies in Japan. How not, the two couples who have been famous for being very compatible will get married. Today, in the spring of the ‘cold’, he had to break his wait.

Yorick sighed, a future that he could not determine for himself as the sole heir of “Yorr Group”.
While on the other hand, there was an uproar in a three-story luxury house.
“Master, emergency first lady escape!”
“What? How did this happen? What will happen if this marriage is broken? Qianchu Group is over!”
Amidst the chaos in the dining room, there was one youngest girl who remained greedy eating the food served. Although his first brother disappeared, he did not bother. He understands very well his attitude. It happened because the kaka was very spoiled by his parents.
“Nina Qianchu, you must replace your sister!
Instantly, the room from earlier was noisy, instantly silent. The voices just seemed to come out. No one dared to open his mouth when ‘sang father’ has opened his mouth and set his decision.
“Ta-but, my husband, Nina's facial condition is not as good and beautiful as Merry's. How did he get married to Yorick? He must have kicked her out. Not that this will benefit us, even Yorr Group can immediately terminate its cooperation. This could be considered an insult!”
The two of them discussed at length. But not once asked the opinion of the person concerned. Nina could only stay, bowed, holding amah for a while. He has no power to fight. Ever since her mother was paralyzed and settled in the hospital, her father's attitude changed. He never looked in his direction. In the mansion, even though every ornament was lit up like the light of the sun, his life remained bleak. Only one cares about him.
“Nina, you are 23 years old, just one year apart from your sister. For Dad's sake, for our family's sake, will you replace your sister getting married?”
For Dad? For family? Huh, that's ridiculous. As powerful as he exerted his strength, nothing could be done. Should he even get married here? Really, he just wants to go back to China and just live with his mother and grandmother. Should he marry a Tsukasa surname and settle in Japan? As powerful as it was, he would never be able to run away from this rotten circle of destiny and could only nod, pretending to smile alright.
“Good, Pa. Nina will do what you want.”
“Good son. Reno, get some perias and wedding clothes as soon as possible! We don't have much time and must immediately polish his deformed face!”
The deg! The defect? So that's what her father thought about Nina. He still remembers the treatment of his mother and stepbrother when his father was not around. Treated as a maid and could not argue. In fact, Nina is very strong when it comes to fighting for strength considering she once took an additional kuNinah martial.
You must obey if you want your mother to live! Ironic! His own mother used the enemy as the strongest shield. Under the pretext of stopping treatment costs, Nina could not finish them off.

With a little makeup polish, the scars on his face can be perfectly covered. No one thought that Nina Qianchu was a disabled child.
The place felt unfamiliar, unfamiliar faces, and cold gazes from the profit-seeking officials looked at it with diverse gazes. Ranging from wonder, envy, to passionate gazes. Of the several hundred people present, from the officials, CEOs, to the top artists, believe me, none of those present sincerely congratulated. Everything is just business. So too with this wedding. A house with laws on paper.
“Nina, you are so beautiful!” Nina looked.
“Fara, it turns out you.”
“What's up? Are you disappointed that I told you that you are beautiful and open a handsome guy? Hey, Nina. Look, he's Yukki. The most handsome singer in the world! I didn't expect to see her at your wedding.”
“Have the bullshit? You don't know how scared I am? I'm afraid my husband isn't as handsome as Rangga.”
“Lap did you a favor, Lilyku. You should know your position now. I wonder how you don't know Yorick Tsukasa. He was famous as the youngest CEO, rich, smart, tall, and handsome, you know.” Fara counted the fingers, mentioning each advantage of her best friend's husband. But unfortunately, he did not mention any of its shortcomings.
Jazz music stops, replaced with the accompaniment of piano music, singing typical wedding songs. The entire hypocritical man in the room stopped chatting. All eyes were fixed on the figure of the man who had just walked out of the golden door across there.
It was true what Fara said, this man was almost near perfect. But something was wrong with his eyes. Sharp look. Like an eagle finding a rabbit. There was fear in Fara's heart.
“Quiet, Nina. You learned a lot from Korean movies, right? A CEO doesn't care about his wife. He's got a lot of women. You don't have to be sad. About Rangga, I will replace your position,” chirps Fara calm her best friend.
His feet are heavy. Body shivers. The aura that the man emitted was truly terrifying.

“Remember! You're not Merry! Don't expect to get a dime from me!”
“Hmph! You think I'd marry you? You ruined my life! We are equally harmed. What if we make a deal? You can't set up and touch me! Then I won't interfere in your business. How?”
“Hey girl, who do you think you are?”
“And starting tomorrow, I want to work in your office as a group designer. Take it easy, I won't take a cheating path to get in. You can keep seleksing me. Although I have not finished kuNinah, but do not underestimate my sincerity in the field of drawing.”
Yorick ignored his wife's crazy request and went into the room, leaving Nina in a state of anger. He lay on the couch, watching the drama still spinning. A drama about a marriage based on love.
“Alright,. I will remember you forever. A brave man who saved me. Remember this well. When I grow up, I will marry you.”
He still remembered his promise to the little boy that night. Unfortunately, he did not remember his name and face. An hour later, his eyes could not stop sleepiness. A little bit of debate made his emotions explode. Isn't Nina here a victim? Why is it like the opposite.
“Sial! I had to take my shirt in the master room and move it to the guest room!”
A house that big, with bright lights. A very sacred time for every human being to the dreamland. That's what the girl thought. Step by step, he opened the door of the unlocked room. Aaaah her eyes are contaminated. Very attractive body posture, unbearable stomach, chest that field, polished hair that is still slightly wet adds value plus charm to his good looks.
“What are you doing?”
“Aa, I-I'm sorry I accidentally. I just want to grab my shirt and move to the guest room.”
”Sleep here. I'll go.”
Yorick is really gone. It's alone again
In the middle of the cold of the night, Yorick actually enjoyed ‘warm’nya atmosphere of the club. DJ music that is so deafening did not manage to divert his mind from the figure of a woman who almost managed to get rid of ‘ childhood sweetheart’nya.
“Merry, where are you?”
