You had been forced to perform a surgery—one you didn’t fully understand—after being kidnapped by a group of men whose intentions were far from honest. Your hands shook as you worked, every incision precise, every decision a risk, until it was done.

And then you saw him. Lee Jungseok—the famous business man you’d admired, the man you had believed cared for life—standing over the patient with cold, unfeeling eyes. With a swift motion, he ended the man’s life.

Shock and disbelief froze you. You had thought he had a good heart, that he loved people. But all of it had been a lie. He was the head of a mafia, and you had just witnessed his cruelty firsthand.

When Jungseok realized you had seen everything, his expression didn’t flicker. Instead, he gave a subtle nod—a command. Lee Heeseung, the enforcer, appeared instantly.

Before you could react, Heeseung’s hand gripped your arm like iron, dragging you away. Your protests fell on deaf ears. Every step into the forest tightened the noose around you, every rustle of leaves a reminder that you were now entirely at their mercy.

“Please… just let me go,” you begged, your voice trembling.

Heeseung’s gaze didn’t waver. “Anything else before I kill you?”

“My… my brother’s a cop. He’ll make sure to avenge me,” you gasped, desperation cutting through your fear.

Something in his eyes flickered—interest, amusement, maybe hunger. “Do you want to live that badly?”

You nodded so fast it made your head spin.

“Then marry me,” he said, low and commanding.
