로그인Betrayed by the two people she loved most, her fiancé and her stepsister, Ella loses everything. Desperate and broken, she chooses death. But fate has other plans. Rescued against her will, Ella wakes up to a nightmare: her greedy foster parents have forced her into marriage with a crippled, disfigured man, Elion Copper. A man the world believes to be poor and unwanted. But Elion is no ordinary man. He is, in truth, the ruthless billionaire bachelor every woman in town secretly desires. Tired of fake love and gold-diggers, Elion hides behind a mask of scars and poverty to test if any woman can love him without his wealth. He is certain no one will ever agree, until Ella. To Elion, Ella’s acceptance feels like mockery. He believes she chose him willingly, and his pride turns into fury. Out of spite, he decides to "sell" her as a servant in his billionaire identity, without revealing that both men are one and the same. Now, Ella finds herself under the mercy of the cold and arrogant real Elion Copper, a man who humiliates her, torments her, and makes her question why life saved her at all. But the deeper the pain, the deeper the truth, the crippled husband, and the cruel master are one. When Ella finally discovers his secret, her world shatters again. Will she forgive the man who broke her beyond repair, or will she walk away even when he is ready to burn the world just to keep her by his side?
더 보기Elion Copper had never felt a storm like this inside him. It wasn’t just anger, nor was it simple frustration. It was something deeper, more primal, and terrifying in its intensity. He couldn’t define it—couldn’t even rationalize it—but the moment his eyes met Ella’s, the world seemed to narrow down to her alone. A surge of possessiveness clawed at his chest, a desperate, almost violent need to protect her. Not because anyone else asked him to, not because society demanded it, but because something inside him recognized her as his. Mine, his mind whispered. Every instinct screamed it, every heartbeat pounded it.He stared at her, and she squirmed under the intensity of his gaze. It wasn’t a mere glance. It was the weight of ownership, the gravity of a man who had power over everything, yet found himself powerless in the presence of one woman. Ella’s cheeks flushed under his scrutiny, and even Liza, who prided herself on reading every emotion in a room, faltered. T
The boardroom was suffocating. The air felt thick, heavy, like the atmosphere itself had been charged by the collision of lies, truth, and unresolved vendettas. More than twenty people were present—family members, company shareholders, secretaries, assistants, and even Mr. and Mrs. Madison, whose two percent stake in the company, acquired thanks to Liza’s cunning, gave them the audacity to be present in the room. Their expressions were a mixture of curiosity, judgment, and superiority. And at the center of the storm, like the eye of a hurricane, stood Elion Copper.His dark eyes, sharp and unyielding, were fixed on Ella. There was a depth in his gaze that could consume a person whole—a mixture of fury, disbelief, and an intensity that made her shiver in spite of herself. His voice, when it came, was laced with sarcasm that could cut through steel.“After being caught red-handed, what excuse do you have this time around?” he asked, each word like
The day stretched like a storm about to break. Elion Copper moved through the company corridors like a tempest in human form. His usual calm, measured presence had vanished, replaced by a brooding anger that radiated from him in palpable waves. Employees who usually dared to make requests or ask questions kept their heads bowed, moving with unnatural caution around him. Even the senior staff, who had weathered his moods countless times, felt the bite of something new—something sharper.Elion himself did not understand the origin of his fury. It was not rooted in business, not in incompetence, nor even in the routine annoyances that normally tested his patience. No, this anger was different. It gnawed at him from the inside, an instinct he could not name, a pull he could not resist. It had been building ever since their return from the hospital, festering silently beneath his composed exterior.Meanwhile, his attention was singular: Liza. Every t
The nurse settled beside Ella, her movements deliberate, careful, almost maternal. Every spoonful of the warm, nourishing food was delivered with tenderness, as if she could will Ella’s body to heal through each bite. Ella tried to focus on the taste, but nausea surged violently. She leaned forward, gripping the edge of the bed, and then, violently, she vomited.The nurse’s hands were swift, steady, wiping her face, adjusting her pillow, murmuring, “It’s okay… you’re safe now. Just breathe.”From the corner of the room, Liza’s eyes narrowed. A storm brewed behind her calculated gaze. She pulled out her phone, her fingers moving faster than thought, sending a message with venomous precision. Within moments, the doctor appeared, walking briskly, his presence calm but urgent.“Master Elion, Liza is recovering remarkably fast. I anticipate she could be discharged this evening. Given that her parents are abroad, I suggest she remai
