On the drive home, Seoyeon acted as if she didn't realize Mooyoung was watching her. She covered her mouth with her hand, kept her gaze fixed outside the window, and ran her fingers through her hair. Mooyoung observed each of her subtle, altered behaviors through the rearview mirror, as if preserving them in his memory. While she ate dinner, Mooyoung had to wait outside the hotel. He had intended to follow her in, obeying Jaebin’s order to stay by her side at all times, but Seoyeon had blocked his way…-

Seoyeon swallowed. She should have left the moment she woke up. Yes, she should have. She should have avoided making eye contact. But even as her breath caught for a second, she didn’t look away. She had started to understand Jaebin’s tactics—how he twisted situations to mess with her, how he looked at her. "Isn’t it funny?" "..." "A man covered in blood is the chairman of a corporation." She stood up and walked toward him. The closer she got, the clearer his expression became. "Who…

For years, Oh Jintaek had positioned himself as Jaebin’s ally. When Chairman Park had appointed Jaebin as both the new boss and company president, Jintaek had showered him with ‘gifts’ to solidify his standing. The other directors did the same. For the sake of profit, power, and above all—survival—sticking with Jaebin was the logical choice. And then, out of nowhere, Hyunju appeared. "I heard you like premium beef." Mare Group’s Vice Chairwoman had made her move. Along with the…

As evening fell, the atmosphere of the party grew even more heated. Not only had the number of attendees increased compared to the afternoon, but with various celebrities present, the overall energy of the party seemed to soar to an even higher level. Amidst it all, however, was Seoyeon, whose condition had deteriorated to its worst. Her expression showed no sign of easing. No matter how well she had cultivated her business persona from a young age, it was meaningless in front of Hyunju. "Are you…

"N brand’s designer, Simone, is also attending today. It seems their launch in China was a success. Also, B Corporation, which showed us a positive signal in our last meeting—” In the passenger seat, Secretary Ahn Jisoo read from his tablet, briefing them about the party they were heading to. He had sharp double eyelids and neatly trimmed hair, a strikingly professional appearance. If Han Mooyoung, the chief secretary, had a background in organized crime, Ahn Jisoo was the complete…

She couldn't believe it had only been a day. It felt like she had been tossed into a hurricane, battered and bruised with nowhere left intact—and yet, she had to endure this for two whole months. The aftershock of that $9 million bombshell still rattled her mind. Sitting in the moving car, she found herself replaying everything that had just happened. —Mmph—! His lips had swallowed hers, as if to silence her. Every time she…

One dress. Then another. Under the hands of the boutique staff, Seoyeon was dressed up like a Barbie doll. The first was a classic silk ballgown with a voluminous skirt. Even putting it on was a struggle—how was she supposed to breathe in this thing? But the real ordeal began when the curtain was drawn back, revealing her in front of Jaebin. What the hell are you staring at? She smiled with her lips, but her eyes shot…

"I don't live there anymore. Because I'm... getting married soon. Right now..." At Secretary Kang’s words, Seoyeon bit her lip. Newlywed home—no matter how many times she heard it, it was a disgusting phrase. "So, you don't have to come anymore. Let's meet at the office from now on." "Clear everything. I'm… busy with wedding preparations. Do you know how hard it was to plan this wedding in secret for a year without Jieun…

If Seoyeon ever became a problem, she could be branded a criminal and thrown into prison—forever. Meanwhile, Hyunju, with the right media spin, could emerge as the tragic victim of a disgraceful child. The betrayed mother. The wronged CEO. The sympathetic figure. At the end of that memory stood Jaebin. "Eight years. You've had it easy, haven’t you?" "Taking the fall for the filth. Killing on command." The Beom Jungang faction, to which…

The Mare Group's embezzlement records spanned over twenty years. In South Korea, the company ranked among the top five in influence, whether by market size, reputation, or sheer power. And yet, he was settling for marriage? “Personally, I would’ve asked for at least ten billion won. Maybe even thirty. Seems about right for evidence that valuable.” Jaebin remained silent. “You knew, didn’t you? That my mother was preparing for the elections.” What was lurking beneath the surface…
