Kang Areum learned this young, in the quiet spaces between her father's cold glares and the locked doors of his estate. She was raised in a house built on silence-no lullabies, no bedtime stories, only the hum of power and the thunderous absence of love. Her name wasn't spoken unless it was needed for damage control.
She was the ghost in his empire. A reminder of a scandal swept under imported rugs and marble tiles.
Min Yoongi, on the other hand, clawed his way out of the gutter. He was made, not born-crafted in back alleys and blood-soaked promises, molded by loyalty and violence.

Ruthless.

In a world where everything has a price, Yoongi is about to learn what happens when someone becomes more than just collateral.
