CHAPTERS
Baek Jaehan was a powerful man. If he took a dislike to you, life would become hard in one way or another. You had to keep your head down and watch his mood until the very end. “Then, has Mugyeong ever behaved unusually?” Baek Jaehan was persistent. He didn’t give up and kept questioning. I swallowed a sigh, feeling an ominous hunch that this meeting would drag on. *** “Mugyeong-ssi?” When I came home after dinner, the first thing I saw was Baek Mugyeong’s car parked in one…- 281.3 K • Completed
- “Mugyeong-ssi?” I moved to follow Baek Mugyeong with a bad feeling. He was still releasing violent pheromones, but I had no choice except to chase him. I felt like something big would happen if I left him alone. Sure enough, he was not going upstairs to the second floor. He was at the entrance putting on his shoes. “Are you going out now? Last time you did this, there was an accident. A truck hit you…” I could not finish what happened. That day Baek Mugyeong was hit by a truck and…

- Stopping the side effects of the drugs took priority over getting money or divorcing Baek Mugyeong. I’d been terribly worried that my biological father might force me to take the suppressant regardless of any side effects. “Why do you think the Vice Chairman did that?” “Obviously to keep his nephew in check. He said it was enough to have an alpha son, and now he pulls something like this? I can’t trust that man anymore.” My biological father spat out words of distrust toward Baek…

- When I thought again of the word confession, shivers ran down my back. At the same time, my face burned hot. “Ugh….” I could not help but groan. After letting out a pained sound, I gulped down the cocoa. The sweetness cleared my head again. I knew it, but there was no need to confess right away. Nothing had changed in the plan. We were still in the stage of flirting and getting to know each other. My heart tingled and began to beat fast again, and the corners of my mouth wouldn’t go…

- The man with a gaunt and gentle face resembled the Baek family so much that even a stranger could tell he belonged to them. His eyes were sharp too. But that was because of drugs. According to Baek Yeongseop, he lost money gambling and he also used drugs. “My name is Baek Gyeongbin. My grandfather’s name is Baek, Jingyun, and he is Chairman Baek Jinseok’s younger brother.” As I remembered, Baek Gyeongbin revealed his name and then recited his connection to Baek Jinseok. People turned their…

- She said something, and Baek Mugyeong quietly listened. “……” I almost told her to back off. Baek Mugyeong was someone who never let people he disliked get close. But right now he was being too kind, not like him. No, correction. Baek Mugyeong was being polite, the same as usual. I did not like that. “Don’t you get jealous?” “What?” “Never mind. You still don’t get it. You saw it too, right? Mugyeong-hyung is really popular. A face like his is really rare. If he looks…

- I held back from looking around to see where Baek Jaehan was. The conversation just now reaching Baek Jaehan’s ears was only a matter of time. The people who heard Baek Jinseok’s bombshell remark all started chattering. They told Baek Mugyeong to hurry and give the chairman a great-grandson, to hurry and get the gifts, and to work hard at night, showering him with encouragement and advice. I could not say here that we had decided not to have children. Baek Mugyeong seemed the same, he did not say…

- The family room had only the two of us. Because it was far from the kitchen, the view was blocked. But my heart raced like I was doing something bad. It had not been long since I started truly getting to know Baek Mugyeong. Compared to the early days of marriage, the change was dramatic, like heaven and earth. The atmosphere between us had shifted. This was much better than watching each other’s moods, being wary, and sharpening words. Even so, when he suddenly closed the distance like now, I was…

- I accepted the mug full of cocoa and headed to the second living room tucked in a corner on the first floor. Unlike the large living room meant for receiving guests, the space called the family room was small. The interior was also relatively cozy. I sat in the corner of the sofa by the window with my knees drawn up and sipped the cocoa. As the warm, sweet cocoa went down, my head, which had felt foggy and heavy, slowly started to turn again. Nightmares came without warning. When I felt gloomy after…

- If the truth was examined, Kim Juhyeon’s lie would be exposed, but that would make things too noisy. I wanted to handle it as quietly as possible, like what was common in a chaebol family. I didn’t care if people said I couldn’t manage my subordinates. But I didn’t want to see or suffer Baek Jaehan or Im Songyoon picking a fight using that as a pretext. The best method was to leave it to Baek Mugyeong. Unlike me, who had no real voice because of an arranged marriage, Baek Mugyeong had…
