How Does 'August'S Gamble Of Hearts' End?

S시의 최고 재벌 강지혁의 약혼녀가 하루아침에 교통사고로 죽게 되면서 임유진은 음주운전 가해자라는 죄명을 안고 3년 형을 선고받는다. 지옥 같았던 3년간의 복역 생활을 어렵사리 버텨낸 그녀, 겨우 출소하여 자유를 찾는가 싶었는데 소문의 그 강지혁을 건드리게 됐을 줄이야? 남자의 정체를 알게 된 그녀는 그의 앞에 무릎 꿇고 애원했다. “강지혁, 제발 나 좀 놔줘.” 이에 강지혁은 입꼬리를 씩 말아 올렸다. “난 누나 절대 안 놔줘.” 모두 말한다. 강지혁은 피도 눈물도 없는 냉혈한이라고. 하지만 그는 옥살이하고 나온 환경미화원을 위해 간이고 쓸개고 모두 빼줄 것처럼 사랑을 속삭였다. 하지만 교통사고가 나던 날의 진실이 밝혀지면서 둘의 사랑은 산산이 조각나 버린다. 그렇게 두 사람의 사랑은 그녀의 도망으로 그렇게 끝나는 듯했으나……. 몇 년 후의 어느 날, 남자가 그녀의 앞에 무릎 꿇고 애원했다. “유진, 너만 나한테 돌아온다면 나 뭐든 할게.” 그런 남자의 눈빛을 지그시 바라보던 여자의 입에서 이윽고 한마디가 툭 튀어나왔다. “그러면 죽어.”

“나리야, 너 어릴 때 집안끼리 정혼해 둔 상대가 있단다. 이제 네 건강도 많이 회복됐으니, S 시로 돌아와 결혼하는 게 어떠니?” “네가 정말 원하지 않는다면, 너희 아버지와 다시 상의해서 이 결혼을 없던 일로 해도 괜찮단다.” 어두운 방 안, 송나리는 조용히 앉아 아무 말도 하지 않았다. 전화기 너머에서 어머니 장혜정은 또다시 딸에게 거절당할 것을 예감하며 깊은 한숨을 내쉬려 했다. 그때, 나리가 입을 열었다. “...엄마, 엄마 말씀대로 돌아가서 결혼할게요.” 장혜정은 순간 말을 잃었다. 예상치 못한 딸의 대답이었다. “네가... 정말 동의한다고?” 나리는 평온한 목소리로 대답했다. “네, 동의해요. 하지만 H 시에서 처리해야 할 일이 조금 남아 있어요. 다 정리하고 나서 보름 안에 돌아갈게요. 엄마, 그동안 결혼 준비 부탁드려요.” 그녀는 몇 마디를 더 남긴 후 전화를 끊었다.

SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK TWO *If you've stumbled upon this book and you haven't read book one, I highly recommend reading Alpha Gray for context before diving into this one!* THEO: I'm next in line to be the alpha of my pack, but my father doesn't think I'm ready. In his eyes, I'll never be- he wants me to grow up, straighten up, to be someone I'm just... not. At least I've got the security squad in the meantime, and I'm taking on more responsibility there. I assumed working with the IT unit would be a total bore, but the new girl on the unit has me intrigued. I'm used to getting any girl I want, yet she's rebuffed all of my advances. She's a goody-goody, thinks she's too good for me- and , she probably is, but that won't stop me from trying to get in her pants. Underneath every good girl persona is a bad girl just dying to get out. Challenge accepted. ~ BROOKE: All I wanted to do when I came to work for the IT unit at the security squad was keep my head down and do my job. I was doing it pretty well, too until Theo got assigned as liaison between the IT unit and squad leadership. I had a crush on him as a kid, but now that he's grown he's a foul-mouthed, womanizing hothead; a total alphahole. Other girls may fall for his good looks and his devil-may-care attitude, but not me. He's hanging around the IT unit to observe and report, but he's zeroed in on me for some reason, keeps trying to get under my skin. And just when I think I can escape him, fate delivers the cruelest twist yet.
