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…

The conglomerate, with its reach in electronics, hotels, insurance, and more, had devoured everything—her laughter, her identity, the very first breath of her life. Even her existence, her personality, her clothes, her school—everything had been meticulously curated by Hyunju to uphold the image of "Mare’s only daughter." The moment Hyunju and Jinwoong had conceived her, they had started making donations to various child-related organizations. It was all about branding—letting the world know…

The car’s interior glowed red in the setting sun. Vehicles sped past them, their headlights flashing by. The crimson light reflected in Hyunju’s brown eyes made her look like a person born with red eyes. Or rather, a demon. With red eyes and bloodstained hands. "You haven’t outgrown being an idiot, have you?" The gentle, charming smile of the vice chairman was nowhere to be seen. For the first time today, Seoyeon faced the true face of Go Hyunju. A face utterly devoid of…

A bitter scent of cigarette smoke trailed down her throat. Hyunju was still at the front of the cathedral, busy seeing off the remaining guests. She had disappeared for about ten minutes earlier, only to return and resume her role as if nothing had happened. How long could she keep up this performance? Thirty years seemed long enough for someone to grow tired of a script. Taking a deep drag, Seoyeon watched her mother, draped in white, greeting people with the serene smile of a saint. Naturally,…

Chairman Ryu was a self-made man who had built his company from the ground up. For a businessman, he had a relatively clean reputation, known both as a shrewd entrepreneur and a devoted husband. In his younger years, he was a role model for ambitious youths, and his only son, Ryu Seungwook, was considered a promising successor. His image was so well-regarded that it quelled criticisms about family succession. That is, until a woman appeared, claiming to have borne his child. What made matters worse…-

Beneath the deep red, sultry lighting, the air in the enclosed space was thick and humid. A large easel stood in the room, and behind it, someone was seated. Swish, scratch. The repetitive sound of graphite grinding against paper filled the silence. "Don’t you have any other drawings?" It was Heeju who asked. With an air of arrogance, as if she already knew exactly what was being drawn. Or rather, it was Yeon Heeju inside the dream speaking to the man behind the easel. "There…
