LOGIN"One bride. One billionaire. One deadly secret." Chaewon Kim has never questioned the price of being the daughter of a powerful chaebol—but nothing can prevent her from being auctioned off in a marriage of convenience to Jian Lee, Seoul's most mysterious billionaire. Merciless, genius, and heartbreaking, Jian is the man her father has waged war with for years… and now, he's her husband. Imprisoned in a gilded cage of privilege and deception, Chaewon is compelled to play a game where every smile hides a threat, and every whispered promise might be a trap. But on her wedding night, when a strange black feather is discovered—a ominous reminder of her murdered mother's unsolved killing—Chaewon realizes she's trapped in a much more deadly game. Secrets, lies, and desire begin when friends collide in the darkness behind mansion walls. Under a dangerous game of treachery and unlawful desire, Chaewon is faced with a decision: will she sacrifice her heart to serve the truth no matter what—or will she simply become one more stunning slave crushed beneath the weight of power.
View MoreDAY THREE OF EUNA'S VOLUNTARY CAPTIVITYThe facility was more luxurious than Euna had expected. Her room was spacious, comfortable—more hotel suite than prison cell. The door wasn't even locked. She could walk the corridors freely, eat in the communal dining area, access the library and recreational facilities.It was disturbing how normal it all felt."Good morning, Euna." Dr. Elena Park found her in the library, surrounded by research papers on genetic enhancement. "I see you're making use of our resources.""Knowledge is power," Euna said without looking up. "I want to understand what you did to me. Every detail.""Excellent. That's exactly the attitude we hoped for." Dr. Park sat across from her. "What questions do you have?""Why telekinesis? Of all the possible enhancements you could have engineered, why that specific ability?""Ah. Smart question." Dr. Park pulled up a holographic display. "Telekinesis is extraordinarily rare. Only point-zero-three percent of enhanced individua
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AFTER EUNA'S ABDUCTIONSleep deprivation was making everything sharper—colors too bright, sounds too loud, emotions too raw. Chaewon functioned on adrenaline and fury, coordinating search efforts across three continents while her wounded shoulder throbbed with every movement."We've got something," Hana announced, bursting into the command center. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, but excitement crackled in her voice. "The genetic sequence from Euna's modification. I found a match."Everyone converged on her workstation."This lab." Hana pulled up archived records. "GeneFuture Institute. Operated in Switzerland from 1998 to 2006. Officially shut down after international regulations banned human genetic modification. But look at the research team."She displayed photographs. Scientists. Researchers. Brilliant minds who'd pushed the boundaries of what was possible.And in the center: Dr. James Park. Twenty years younger. Standing beside a woman who looked remarkably like
TWELVE HOURS AFTER EUNA'S ABDUCTIONChaewon hadn't slept. Hadn't eaten. Hadn't stopped moving since the moment they'd taken Euna.Her shoulder was bandaged—the bullet had gone clean through, missing bone and major arteries by centimeters. Lucky. She didn't feel lucky.The emergency command center buzzed with activity. Every available resource mobilized. Every contact activated. Every favor called in."Satellite imagery shows nothing," Han reported grimly. "No heat signatures. No vehicle trails. They vanished completely.""Teleportation?" Luna suggested."Possible. Or underground transport. Or both." Min-ji pulled up city infrastructure maps. "Seoul has hundreds of miles of unused tunnels. Maintenance passages. Abandoned subway lines. They could be anywhere.""Dr. Yoon," Jian said, turning to Sarah, who sat in the corner, devastated. "You communicated with them. What method? What channels?""Encrypted messages. Routing through dozen of proxies. I could never trace them back." Sarah's v
FORTY-EIGHT HOURS AFTER THE THREATThe safe house had transformed into a fortress. Security doubled. Surveillance tripled. Everyone on high alert.Euna sat in the center of it all, feeling simultaneously protected and trapped."I hate this," she said to Min-ji, who was running diagnostics on the security system. "Being treated like fragile cargo.""You are cargo," Min-ji replied without looking up. "Extremely valuable, highly targeted cargo.""I'm a person.""A person someone engineered before birth. A person whose enhancement was predicted, guided, anticipated." Min-ji finally looked at her. "That phone call wasn't random. Whoever called knew the exact timing of your activation. Knew you'd be vulnerable. I know how to push your mother's buttons.""So what? I'm supposed to hide forever?""No. You're supposed to be smart. Strategic. Patient." Min-ji's expression softened. "I know you want to fight. To prove yourself. To show you're not a victim. But rushing into danger doesn't make you
