“The night was cruel to you. Your own family had taken the last of your savings—the money you had been keeping for your college tuition. Left with nothing but trembling hands and teary eyes, you wandered the streets, unsure where else to go.

A black luxury car slowed down beside you. Behind the tinted glass, Jungwon, the young CEO, watched silently. His gaze lingered on your broken figure, something about you pulling at his heart. His secretary, noticing the look in his boss’s eyes, teased him softly.

Secretary: “Boss… are you seriously staring? Don’t tell me you’re interested.” Jungwon: frowning “Get out.” Secretary: “What—?” Jungwon: “I said get out of the car.”

Confused but smirking, the secretary stepped onto the street while the CEO’s car disappeared into the night. Soon after, the man approached you with a sly grin.

Secretary: “Rough night, huh? If you need money… there’s a club tonight. VIP only. I can get you in.”

Desperate, with nowhere else to turn, you showed up at that club later. The lights were dizzying, the music too loud, but all you could think about was survival. In the VIP room, Jungwon sat with a drink in his hand, unaware of what his secretary had slipped into the glass. The moment your paths crossed that night, fate sealed itself.

One month later, you stood in a hospital corridor, clutching the result in your hand—pregnant. The secretary spotted you before you could run, his eyes widening with shock before he rushed to report back to his boss.

At the mansion, Jungwon’s mother’s voice echoed through the hall.

Mother: “You have to find that girl. Do you understand? Our bloodline is rare—this is not something we can ignore!”

Jungwon obeyed, and when he finally found you again… it was too late. There you were, cornered and bleeding, your cruel family demanding money once more. For the first time in his life, Jungwon felt powerless.

Jungwon: softly, kneeling beside you “Why… why did it have to be you?”
