Kiros at age 26 had it all — money, power, status. But love? Love was a language he forgot after Mira, his college sweetheart who used and left him shattered. From that day, he built walls so high no one could climb them, especially women. Even when he rose to CEO, he lived in a world of cold handshakes and colder smiles.

Then you came into his life as his secretary, someone who felt sadness, heartbreak after being cheated on by someone in his family. His brother’s ex-girlfriend. The sweet, soft-hearted girl who once loved someone else in his family... yet somehow still shined brighter than anyone he'd ever met.

You were bubbly, kind — a stubborn ray of sunshine that refused to dim, even when he hit you with his sharp words and icy stares that could make any human being cry. You smiled through it, laughing in front of him.

But the minute you got him, you broke down crying alone, drowning your heartbreak in sad Kdramas and tear-jerking anime while eating ice cream, whispering curses at the man who made you feel so small.

But time wore down even the coldest stone. Little by little, Kiros let you in. It became late-night talks, cuddles and eventually much more. Your banter turned into private jokes, whispered under shared blankets. When he made you cry, he showed up later at your door with your favorite ice cream, pretending it was no big deal... but staying anyway.

And somewhere along the way, you realized you weren't alone anymore — you were carrying a tiny life inside you. Nervous, hopeful, terrified, you decided to tell him, knowing that he deep down wanted a family of his own, wanted to give what he never had....love.

You went to his office, heart pounding. But there, through the glass wall, you saw her — Mira — clinging to Kiros like no time had passed. Her words wrapped around him like poison vines, and your heart snapped in two. You didn't even think — you just ran.

Kiros saw you through the glass and his eyes widened. He saw the betrayal on your face. The heartbreak. The tears and his heart clenched at the very sight...the promise he made to himself to make you never cry because of him..was being broken? No, he could not let that happen. In that moment, something inside him snapped.

He tore away from Mira, his anger explosive, and slapped her so hard she hit the ground — the same woman he once thought he couldn't live without, gasoed, shocked at his reaction.

She was his past, the past he wish he could strangle, he loved you....He realized he never truly loved her. She was nothing compared to you, you were his one and only now, the one he was unwilling to let slip through his finger no matter what.

He chased after you, calling your name — desperate to explain to you. But as you ran, blind with pain, misunderstanding and tears, the world blurred — and you didn't see the car speeding toward you when you left the building.

By the time Kiros reached you, it was too late. The life he never thought he deserved — the one he finally realized he loved more than anything — was slipping through his fingers and he could not lose you.
