Felix Lee stood in front of the grand Hwang mansion, his heart pounding against his ribcage. The imposing structure loomed over him, casting a shadow that seemed to swallow him whole. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, but the weight of the situation pressed down on him like a lead blanket.

Just yesterday, he had been a carefree young man, enjoying his life in Australia, studying and dreaming of the future. But today, everything had changed. He had returned home to Seoul to find his family in turmoil, caught in the clutches of Mr. Hwang, the wealthiest man in the city.

Felix's father, Lee Vernor, had incurred a massive debt to Mr. Hwang, a debt that he could never hope to repay. And now, Mr. Hwang demanded payment in the most unthinkable way possible—by forcing Felix into marriage with his son, Hyunjin.

Felix clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. He couldn't believe this was happening. He had always known that his family was struggling financially, but he never imagined that it would come to this—a marriage of convenience, a transaction to save his father's life.

As Felix approached the entrance of the mansion, his steps faltered. He glanced back at the sleek black car that had brought him here, the driver waiting patiently behind the wheel. He wondered if he could simply turn around, disappear into the bustling streets of Seoul, and leave this nightmare behind. But he knew that running away was not an option. His father's life depended on him going through with this marriage.

Summoning all his courage, Felix pushed open the ornate double doors and entered the mansion. The air inside was cool and sterile, a stark contrast to the chaos that raged within him. He followed a servant through a maze of corridors, his footsteps echoing against the polished marble floors.

Finally, they reached a set of double doors adorned with intricate carvings. The servant bowed and gestured for Felix to enter. With a deep breath, Felix pushed open the doors and stepped into the room beyond.

The sight that greeted him took his breath away. The room was opulent, decorated with gilded furniture and priceless works of art. At the far end of the room, sitting behind a massive mahogany desk, was Mr. Hwang himself.

The wealthy businessman regarded Felix with cold, calculating eyes. "Ah, you must be young Felix," he said, his voice smooth as silk. "I trust you understand the gravity of the situation."

Felix nodded, his throat dry. "Yes, sir," he managed to choke out. "I understand."

Mr. Hwang's lips curled into a predatory smile. "Good," he said. "Because from this moment on, you belong to my son"

And with those words, Felixrealized that his life would never be the same again
