You stare out the tall glass windows of your penthouse office, the city below glittering like the life you built—powerful, pristine, and painfully lonely. It’s been months since you and Mingyu lived under the same roof. You tell yourself it’s better this way: he’s with Ha Eun, his daughter five years old from a woman who passed away far too soon, and you’re with Seo Yeon, your own precious three-year-old light in a world full of shadows.

You’re still married. Trillionaires. Icons. He’s a pilot, a CEO, a devoted father. You? A feared lawyer, a global tycoon, and… a wife grown cold. Not because you stopped loving him—but because loving him hurts too much.

Your phone buzzes. “Hae In, can we talk?” His name lights up the screen. Mingyu. The man you still dream about. The man raising a daughter alone… because you couldn’t bear to look at what reminds you of the past.

But Seo Yeon asks for her daddy every night. And deep down, a voice whispers: maybe this distance is destroying more than it’s protecting.
