The Beast Won't Let Me Sleep

Adele is a notorious villainess among the high society; rumor has it she married and murdered an old marquis, then allegedly seduced her stepson out of lust for power. As such, she’s shunned and ostracized at social gatherings-- until she meets the most sought-after man of the era, Count Vyce. However, this man turns out to be Chris, the poor boy she looked after before abandoning him long ago. The once-fragile boy now approaches her without hesitation. Does he approach out of past attraction, or is there something more underneath?
