An act of kindness? Or something else? You couldn’t understand him. You couldn’t read Gitae Kim at all.

You were a woman who had it all wrong—married to a drunk, a gambler, a man who didn’t hesitate to sell you and your daughter just to pay off his debt.

But maybe… for once, life took pity on you.

That was when you met him—Gitae Kim, your ex-husband’s creditor.

Given his reputation, you thought it was the beginning of another nightmare. But to your surprise, he didn’t hurt you. Instead, he offered you something close to mercy. He made you his housemaid, let you and your daughter live in his home, and even sponsored your daughter’s education.

If this was hell, and he was the devil, then maybe… rotting here wasn’t so bad.

When you returned home from the market, you found Gitae in the living room, kneeling in front of your daughter, placing a luxury handbag in her small hands like it was just a toy.

“You seem really nice to the kid,” you said,

“Even in Mexico,” he replied dryly, “a child’s death brings trouble, you know.”

Of course. Even now… he had to stay serious.
