ログインCaroline Dela Vega was sent by his politician father on a secret mission to spy on the notorious mafia boss, Dark Vergara. Due to the mysterious and suspicious establishments being built in the city, Caroline’s father suspects that it might be harmful and dangerous to a lot of people due to Dark Vergara’s dirty reputation in society and bad record aligning with injustice. To expose the mafia boss and his gang’s evil plans, Caroline must be close to him so that she can get access to his secrets and businesses to be reported to her father. It got to the point that they married each other. But as time passes by, Caroline begins to know Dark Vergara deeply and eventually falls in love with him despite her primary plan of displaying an angelic façade and fake concern for a long time towards him. As Dark also started to get swayed by Caroline, events transpired and one traitor emerged to expose Caroline’s treachery and her exploitation of Dark gang’s sacred information. Will Dark Vergara spare Caroline after the betrayal and lies she did? Or will he be blinded by vengeance and anger, disregarding the fact that she has already captured his mind and heart?
もっと見る사방이 적막에 잠긴 어두운 방.
이유라는 끊어질 듯 가느다란 신음을 내뱉으며 깊은 늪 같은 잠 속을 헤매고 있었다.
‘으음…….’
그때, 문밖에서 들려오는 희미한 인기척에 그녀가 힘겹게 눈을 떴다. 눈꺼풀이 천근만근 무거웠지만, 온몸의 세포가 본능적인 위기감을 맥질하며 그녀를 깨웠다.
낯선 천장, 코끝을 찌르는 서늘한 약품 냄새.
꿈인지 실제인지 분간하려 고개를 돌리던 유라는 당황해 몸을 일으키려다, 왼손등에 차갑게 꽂힌 링거 바늘을 보고 멈칫했다.
“분명 어제…… 드라마 촬영팀 회식 후…….”
필름이 끊긴 듯 그 이후의 기억은 새하얬다. 태어나서 단 한 번도 술을 입에 대본 적 없던 인생이었다. 하지만 어제는 그녀의 첫 직장 연예계 매니저로서의 첫 출근날이자, 담당 배우인 ‘김도진’과의 첫 회식 자리였다. 실수하지 않으려고, 얕보이지 않으려고 긴장한 채 받아 마신 첫 잔. 기억은 딱 거기까지였다.
주위를 둘러봐도 자신의 가방이나 휴대폰은 보이지 않았다.
“설마 병원인 건가?”
그때, 굳게 닫혀 있던 커다란 방문이 열리며 날카로운 빛이 쏟아져 들어왔다. 갑자기 환해진 시야에 유라가 눈을 찡그리며 문쪽을 바라보았다. 역광 속에 서 있는 건장한 남자의 실루엣. 유라는 알 수 없는 공포심에 이불을 가슴팍까지 끌어당기며 몸을 움츠렸다.
두벅, 두벅. 한 걸음씩 다가오는 발소리가 심장을 죄어올 때쯤, 익숙하고도 차가운 목소리가 낮게 가라앉았다.
“몸은 좀 괜찮아?”
빛에 적응한 유라의 눈에 들어온 얼굴은 다름 아닌 이도현이었다.
국내 최대 규모인 강해 병원 병원장의 아들이자, 냉철하기로 소문난 천재 의사. 그리고 유라에게는 고등학교 시절 보육원에서 만난, 유일한 안식처이자 ‘키다리 아저씨’ 같은 존재. 이도현이었다.
당시 무미건조한 표정으로 봉사활동을 따라왔던 도현은 유라를 처음 본 날 이후, 일 년에 한 번 오던 방문을 한 달에 한 번, 나중에는 매주 찾아오는 지독한 정성을 보였다. 차가운 얼음 같던 그가 유라 앞에서만큼은 미세하게 흔들리던 것을, 유라만 눈치채지 못했을 뿐이었다.
이도현의 얼굴을 확인하자마자 유라는 참았던 숨을 몰아쉬며 안도했다.
“도현 오빠……? 저 어떻게 된 거예요?”
유라가 손등의 주사 바늘을 보며 다급하게 묻자, 도현이 무표정한 얼굴로 다가와 그녀의 상태를 살폈다.
“엊그제 회식 날, 나도 그 자리에 있었어. 네가 술 마시고 쓰러져서 내 집으로 데려온 거야.”
“엊그제요? 그럼 제가 이틀이나 잠들었다는 거예요?”
“알코올 쇼크 증세가 있어서 영양제랑 진정제를 좀 놨어.
유라 넌 술은 입에도 대지 않는 게 좋을 거야.”
도현의 담담하지만 서늘한 대답에 유라는 소스라치게 놀라 침대에서 일어나려 했다. 하지만 그 순간, 이불 아래로 드러난 자신의 차림새를 보고 움직임을 멈췄다. 그날 입었던 옷은 간데없고, 허벅지를 겨우 가리는 커다란 남성용 반팔 티셔츠 한 장뿐이었기 때문이다.
“어, 옷이………?”
당황과 수치심이 뒤섞인 유라의 눈동자가 잘게 떨렸다.
“옷에 토사물이 잔뜩 묻어 있어서 어쩔 수 없었어. 가사도우미 아주머니 불러서 갈아입히고 세탁해 뒀으니까 이상한 생각은 하지 마.”
도현은 눈 하나 깜짝하지 않고 건조하게 말을 받아쳤다. 유라는 가슴을 쓸어내렸지만, 어딘가 가시지 않는 기묘한 위화감이 등줄기를 타고 흘렀다.
I slowly looked up to Dark who was tightly hugging me as he furrowed his eyebrows and watched the car sprinting away which was about to hit me a while ago. I could see his chiseled jaw above my forehead, making me gulp due to its intense feeling it was giving me.“Fuck that driver…” he mumbled and looked down at me. “Are you okay?”I immediately shook my head and snapped out from my thoughts so I could push his chest away. “I… I’m sorry…” I said and cleared my throat.“Why are you mad, by the way?” he asked.“I am not,” I denied abruptly and turned my back on him, only to realize that my heart was beating so fast.We entered the mall after the guard examined the two of us. A woman in a black suit and hair in a bun who was formally standing in front of the guard straightened up as she saw us. I was about to ignore her, but Dark approached her half way. I squinted my eyes and did not have any choice but to follow.“Good day, sir,” the serious woman greeted with a frowning face. “I hope
“Let’s go out.”I was reading a book from the library when Dark knocked on the door. I immediately closed the book when he appeared he looked at what I was reading. A smile plastered on my lips as I regarded him.“Oh, where are we going?” I asked with mandatory enthusiasm to avoid suspicions.“At the mall. We will buy a dress for you,” he said.“But why?”“Dinner in Baguio,” he said. “Jachrimo is already there.”“And do you mind if I ask why we are going to Baguio? It is too far… and cold,” I suggested and tilted my head.“A celebration,” he answered briefly answered and turned his back on me. “You’d better be ready next minute.”My face was disgruntled as I followed him with my glares. He talked to a maid before going his way. The maid, on the other hand, escorted me to my room and gave me the privacy to change.Sometimes, he is sweet. Sometimes, he is just a pure asshole. I could stand his cousin more than him. He wanted me to be his wife, and yet, I could not even go closer to him.
I paced back and forth in my room as I repeatedly looked at the cell phone plastered on the bed. I am reluctant to call my dad and report to him that Dark Vergara wants to marry me.This is the thing that I want, right? I am here to seduce him so that he will fall in love with me, ask my hand, and marry me to gain information about his gang's lousy activities. After that, I am out on this mission.But why is this happening all so fast? I did even go pass by a month here, and yet he is already proposing to me, which was my ultimate goal that I expected to go through a process. Because it was supposed to be that way!To distract his enemies? What does he mean by that?After pacing back and forth, I decided to try opening his study room again and not call my daddy to report anything unless I had my own answers. I have to investigate on my own this time because I am confused about his motives. He is not well-aware of who I am, so it is impossible that he knows about my identity and decides
I'm thirsty. That was what I thought when I got up in bed and felt my throat so parched in the middle of my sleep. Going to the kitchen was the primary plan I had as I stood up and left my room to drink water. While yawning and going down the staircase, I noticed how dark the mansion was because the lights were all turned off... except the dining hall. I could see it through the hallway, pertaining that someone was still awake. A maid, perhaps? I would not be bothered in either ways since I also interact with them to create a good reputation in this mansion. In that way, they could also respect me as much as they respect Dark.I did not mind a person being in the kitchen, though. I just walked through the silent and eerie hallway. I will gradually see who is awake since I will have to pass by the dining hall before I can get to the refrigerator."S-Sir!" I exclaimed and almost jumped when I saw Dark Vergara sitting on a stool in front of the counter of a small bar. He only raised h
"Here it is..."I paused, watching the television in front of me when Dark just swayed himself over towards my direction. His nonchalant expression greeted me as he placed some women's clothes beside the sofa where I was sitting. I looked up at him and caressed the clothes he had just brought."You
"Have you already proceeded to meet him?" Dad asked from the other line. I tiptoed towards the huge curtains in the living area and stole a glance from the grand staircase, checking if someone was listening to me. Thank goodness the maids are busy in the pool area, so the living area was deserted.
"Do you think he is going to investigate us?" the man that Dark was talking to spoke. "I feel like his target is you, sir.""Hmmm," Dark hummed, "Mr. Dela Vega is very devoted to his job and to the people in this country. I will not doubt that one day, he will be one of the candidates to run for th
Dark Vergara's car stopped in front of the mansion. A servant descended the stairs towards the entrance as if waiting for Dark's command. He then suddenly looked at me with his cold brown eyes. "We will eat lunch," Dark said. "After that, we will discuss the conditions I'd give you as you live und
