Hyunjin thought he was dating a slightly strange single dad named Felix. Then CEO Lee Minho stepped onto the stage at the company gala and introduced his younger brother. Lee Yongbok. Apparently, Felix forgot to mention his family owned the hotel.

Two powerful families, long-time friends and allies, have always shared secrets, celebrations, and legacies. Yet their sons have never met-until an unexpected arrangement binds them together in marriage. Hyunjin is cold, controlled -a force of power and precision. Felix is warm, elegant, and quietly graceful, the soft counterpoint to Hyunjin's intensity. What begins as an obligation slowly becomes something neither expected. Late-night confessions, quiet care after grueling days, and the gradual discovery of trust allow love to bloom in the most unlikely of places. But love alone isn't simple. Felix and Hyunjin must choose: will their marriage remain a duty, or can it become the destiny they forge together?

At just nineteen years old, Felix's world shatters when his mother loses her long, painful battle with cancer. Left alone in a cold, empty house, he is forced to become the sole protector of his two younger siblings-ten-year-old Olivia and six-year-old Yong-bok. Desperate to keep a roof over his siblings' heads, Felix discovers a hidden truth: his mother worked as a maid for the most dangerous, feared figure in the underworld-Hwang Hyunjin. Driven by pure love and desperation, Felix walks straight into the lion's den, stepping past the iron gates of the intimidating Hwang Mansion. He comes seeking simple housecleaning work to pay off his mother's remaining debt and feed his family. He expected a cold boss. He expected heavy labor. What he didn't expect was Hwang Hyunjin-a ruthless, calculating mafia leader who rules an empire with absolute control. Hyunjin doesn't offer simple mercy, and he certainly doesn't let anyone walk away once they cross his threshold. Intrigued by Felix's quiet defiance, innocence, and desperate brave eyes, Hyunjin offers a deal that will alter Felix's life forever. A contract sealed not by labor... but by a forced marriage. Bound to a man who holds the power to save his family or destroy his soul, Felix is thrust into a dark, gilded world of danger, possessive obsession, and secrets. In a game where every touch feels like a trap and every whisper feels like a sentence, Felix must navigate the deadly shadows of Hyunjin's world-without losing his heart to the very monster who holds him captive.

(MATURE • COMPLETE) Hwang Hyunjin is the powerful and enigmatic head of Seoul's most feared crime family. Behind the sharp suits and ruthless reputation lies a man longing for connection in a world filled with deceit and danger. When a chance encounter at a simple nightclub leads him to Lee Felix, a brilliant but disillusioned hacker, both their lives take an unexpected turn. After a night of passion and forgotten memories, Hyunjin and Felix wake up to find themselves entangled in more than just sheets.

Five years ago, Felix shattered Hyunjin's heart into a million pieces. Armed with a cruel lie about being straight and a new girlfriend on his arm, he boarded a one-way flight to Australia, trading their love for a "normal" life and leaving Hyunjin to bleed out in the ruins of their shared apartment. Now, Hyunjin is the cold, cutthroat billionaire CEO of Hwang Corporation. He has built a ruthless corporate empire for one sole purpose: to completely bury the ghost of the boy who ruined him. His heart is an absolute fortress, and he rules Seoul's skyline with an iron fist. But five years of absolute, icy silence are violently shattered in a single second by an incoming midnight call from thousands of miles away. An international video call. From a very drunk, very breathless Lee Felix.

"We were traded like property to build an empire. We stayed to build a home." To the corporate world, 29-year-old pure-blooded Alpha Hwang Hyunjin is a ruthless, unbeatable monster. He runs the Hwang Estate with an iron fist, answering only to the cold demands of his father. But behind closed doors? He belongs entirely to Lee Felix. Four years ago, their marriage was a forced business merger designed to bind the Lee Corporation and the Hwang Estate. No one expected the cold CEO and the gentle, 27-year-old pure-blooded Omega to actually fall in love. No one expected them to create a sanctuary. And no one expected their absolute universe to be a bright-eyed, two-year-old boy named Yongjin. While their mothers fiercely shield their domestic bliss, their fathers see their love as a weakness-and a target. When the empires that made them decide to tear them apart, the cold CEO must prove just how ruthless an Alpha can be when protecting his mate and his pup.

When feared mafia heir Hwang Hyunjin walks into Felix's quiet flower shop, the last thing either expects is to find comfort in each other-one offering warmth, the other protection. But when Felix is threatened, Hyunjin unleashes the full fury of his world, forcing them both to choose between safety and a love that could burn everything down. "I love you too. Always."

Lee Felix is the boy everyone wants. He smokes behind the school, gets into fights he shouldn't win, and treats relationships like games he's already bored of playing. Everyone knows the rules when it comes to Felix-no feelings, no attachments, no promises. And yet people still fall for him. But there's one person who never did. Hwang Hyunjin. Just as popular, just as confident, and completely impossible to read. For four years, Hyunjin has watched Felix chase him, flirt with him, push his limits-only to shut him down every single time. The worst part? Hyunjin enjoys it. Everyone else in school might be kneeling for Felix. But Felix has been on his knees for Hyunjin since freshman year. And after four years of games, teasing, and tension... Something is finally going to break.
