Meanwhile, in a completely different waiting room...

​Darius sat quietly, his eyes glued to the thick stack of documents in his hands. Contracts, company growth reports, financial reviews—you name it. Sure, he was technically out of the office, but work had a funny way of tagging along. Who on earth ever claimed being the CEO meant having free time? For a guy like Darius, a few uninterrupted hours of sleep felt like an unattainable luxury.

​Fortunately—or perhaps unfortunately—he wasn't alone.

  • Implovessible : How To Steal a Killer's Heart   A traitor's bad luck

    “A shameless traitor who ultimately made the wrong choice. And dealing with a spirit like that will only bring you even worse misfortune.” Shasha’s words kept echoing in Melya’s mind. For a moment, she just stared at the gothic-looking tarot reader, trying to process what she had just heard. “Wait. A traitor?” Melya repeated. “You mean the spirit in my hair clip once betrayed someone?” Shasha shrugged with an indifferent expression. “Well, that’s what my guardian spirit says.” “Did your guardian spirit tell you who she betrayed?” That question made Shasha burst out laughing. “Are you seriously asking me that? Aren’t you the one working as an actual shaman? You should know spirits don’t spill each other’s secrets unless that spirit threatens them or the masters they protect.” “Ahhh!” Shasha’s answer made Melya slap her own forehead lightly. How on earth could she forget such a crucial fact? Every shaman knew that basic spirit lore. Spirits won't leak each other's secrets unle

  • Implovessible : How To Steal a Killer's Heart   Misdirected Scent of Death

    Sreeekk! ​Darius’s body slowly slipped down the tip of the spear, leaving Melya unable to hold back the icy wave of horror gripping her chest. ​"DARIUS!" ​Melya’s scream echoed—not just inside her mind, but piercing the silence of the beach in reality. ​BZZZT! ​A tremendous surge of supernatural force, like a high-voltage electric shock, hurled Melya backward. Her body flew a few feet before slamming onto the cold beach sand. She gasped for air, her chest rising and falling as if she had just surfaced from the deep ocean and was running out of oxygen. The metallic stench of blood from her vision still clung stubbornly to her nostrils. ​"Melya! Are you okay?!" ​A panicked Darius immediately knelt beside her, grabbing both of her shoulders with an expression of intense worry. ​His unbuttoned shirt fluttered in the sea breeze, revealing the black star birthmark on his chest that Melya had touched just moments before. ​Without a second thought, Melya slapped Darius’s hand

  • Implovessible : How To Steal a Killer's Heart   Dating The Suspect, Really?

    ​"...I'll make sure Celia dies twice for tricking me into joining this insane show," Melya muttered in frustration. She stared at the card in her hand that read 'Wilderness Romantic Getaway', looking as if it had just cursed her entire bloodline for the next seven generations.​"Why? Don't you like spending some quiet, thrilling time together, Melya?" Darius peeked at the card from over her shoulder. His broad smile didn't fade for a second. Once again, Melya felt as though her eyes were being washed with holy water just by looking at how gorgeous his smile was.​The man looked entirely prepared—complete with a casual linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his toned forearms that... ahem, made Melya lose her focus just a little bit.​Melya quickly looked away. Honestly, whenever he wore fully covered clothes, Darius just looked slender.Remember, Melya! He murdered his fiancee. For all you know, he could be the mysterious serial killer Karin warned you about!

  • Implovessible : How To Steal a Killer's Heart   The Million-Dollar Murder Date

    Sleep was definitely not on Melya’s to-do list that night. Aside from battling a raging migraine trying to decode the sheer weirdness of Darius and Paul—plus the Prime Minister’s totally shady vibes—her brain was getting thoroughly deep-fried by her roommates, Shasha and Karin. Since neither of them had landed dates, they spent the night yakking away. They tried dragging Melya into the gossip fest, but she was way too exhausted, choosing instead to face-plant onto her mattress and play dead. The duo was currently dissecting the absolute life choices that dragged them onto this chaotic dating show. "Me? I only came because Siren begged me," Shasha chimed in. "Fun fact: she’s my little sister." Oh, really? Melya muttered the thought to herself, keeping her eyes glued shut so neither of them would realize she was eavesdropping. "She kept crying and pleading," Shasha continued. "Said it was Mr. Darius’s one and only favor to their production house. According to Siren, Darius swoo

  • Implovessible : How To Steal a Killer's Heart   You Have No Choice

    The romantic date at Cliffside Villa culminated in a picture-perfect scene: standing together at the edge of the cliff while enjoying the gentle breeze. Melya nearly toppled backward when Paul suddenly stepped in extremely close, pressing her head right against his broad chest. From the camera angle, anyone would assume they were leaning into each other affectionately.​Hmm.​Resting against Paul’s chest made Melya notice something else entirely. Paul’s heartbeat was far too slow and calm, even though she could clearly see his face flushed red.​After enjoying the sunset, they finally climbed back onto the buggy to head down to the villa. All the way back, Melya replayed the day’s events in her mind. Even though Paul was holding and gently massaging her hand, Melya only offered a flat, expressionless smile, completely devoid of any real emotion.​Melya’s mind was an active war zone. On the surface, she played her role as the charming yet slightly aloof dating show contestant. But on t

  • Implovessible : How To Steal a Killer's Heart   That Gaze Returns

    Melya’s heart practically leaped out of her throat. On pure instinct, her hands darted to shove the hairpin and jade pendant deep into the folds of her red dress, desperately slapping on a casual expression as if nothing had just happened. ​Behind her, Paul stood tall, his hands casually buried in his trouser pockets. His sharp, calculating gaze swept over her from head to toe. ​"W-what?" Melya stammered for a second before frantically scrambling for an excuse. She patted her chest and let out a dramatic sigh. "Gosh, Paul! You scared me! I... I was just whispering a quick prayer to the ancestor spirits so our date goes smoothly without any supernatural nonsense!" ​Paul studied her for a few agonizing seconds. His gaze was so intense it felt like he could read every single lie written across her face. ​And funnily enough, Melya actually felt scared. Come to think of it, Paul shouldn't even be able to see the Prime Minister and Celia, so why on earth was she this terrified? ​Yet, in
