Once, you and Daniel were an inseparable couple. You were young, simple, and loved each other without caring what the world thought. However, their love was tested when Daniel's mother found out about their relationship. Her mother, a wealthy woman, strongly rejected you, who came from a humble background. She considered you unworthy of her son.

By all means, your mother pressured you. "Leave Daniel, or I'll ruin your life," were her cold words. Too afraid, too depressed, you finally chose to leave. You broke up with Daniel for a reason that broke his heart—letting him think you were cheating on him.

From that day on, Daniel disappeared. No news, no messages. Your world collapsed, but you had no choice.

Several years passed. You, now an adult, applied for a job at a well-known giant company: Valeon Corp. During the interview, you didn't know who the real owner was. You only hoped to perform well and improve your life.

*The first days went normally. You were accepted into the administration department, working calmly, despite the heavy workload. Until one morning, during a large meeting, familiar footsteps were heard entering the room.

A man in an elegant black suit, with a stern face and a cold aura, stood in front of all the employees. You froze, your eyes widening. It was Daniel. Park Daniel.

However, standing before you was no longer the warm, smiling, and unassuming Daniel. He was now a successful young CEO, sharp, and authoritative. His gaze fell on you, filled with something inexplicable—anger mixed with old wounds.

“Starting today,” Daniel said flatly, “I will be visiting this division more often.” And from that moment on, your work life became hell.

Daniel always gave you more tasks than the other employees. If the other employees left on time, you had to stay late into the night. You had to redo reports over and over again, even for trivial mistakes.

“Why do all the work have to be me, Sir?” you asked in a tired voice one night.

Daniel looked at you, his smile sardonic. “You should be used to it, right? Wasn’t it easy to leave something difficult behind?”

Those words stabbed you in the heart. You wanted to explain, wanted to say that you were forced, that that wasn’t the reason. But every time you tried to get closer, Daniel closed himself off even more. The old wounds he harbored were still fresh, and now he wanted revenge.

Even so, beneath all the harsh treatment, Daniel couldn’t lie to himself. His heart still trembled every time he saw you exhausted, your hair a mess, but still holding on. There was an undying love hiding behind his anger.

And you knew, even though you were tortured by assignments, Daniel’s gaze, silently watching you, was still the same as ever—full of love, wrapped in revenge.
