Lisa (G!P) Jennie Kim has built her life on control and unwilling to let anyone close. But one night, when her friends hand her a name and a number, she crosses a line she swore she never would. Lisa was supposed to be nothing more than a distraction. Just someone Jennie could call when the loneliness became too much. But Lisa isn't forgettable. She's warmth in the cold, laughter in the silence, and the one person who makes Jennie's carefully built walls begin to crack. What starts as late-night encounters turns into something Jennie refuses to name. Until a secret decision shatters the fragile line between them. When Lisa discovers the truth, she doesn't just walk away. She chooses herself, leaving Jennie to face the one thing she never know. Loss. For the first time, the woman who had everything is left with nothing. No control. No escape. Only the hollow ache of realizing too late what Lisa truly meant. And some wounds don't heal easily... especially when love was never supposed to be part of the deal.

The scent hits first. Dark rose, white pepper, and something sharp underneath - like cold metal at midnight. Jennie Ruby Jane walks through the glass doors of Kim Corp's headquarters, and time bends. Staff straighten up. Conversations drop mid-sentence. She doesn't look at anyone. She never needs to. Her heels click against imported marble as if announcing a verdict, not an arrival. Her face is unreadable - not emotionless, just carefully engineered. As perfect and untouchable as the perfume empire she built from scratch. Jennie is not warm. She is gravity in a black suit. ⸻ On the 28th floor, Lisa hears the footsteps before she sees her. Always five minutes early. Always in black. Always smelling like heartbreak in a bottle. Lisa turns slightly, pretending to read the numbers on her iPad. Her fingers hover above the screen, frozen. Don't look like you've loved her for years. Jennie walks past her. Doesn't speak. Just pauses for a half-second - enough to flick her gaze toward Lisa's direction - then disappears into the corner office. Lisa doesn't breathe until the door closes. ⸻ It's been 4 years. 4 promotions. Hundreds of sleepless nights building the very campaigns that made Jennie Kim ahousehold name across Southeast Asia. Lisa is the youngest Marketing Director in company history. She's sharp, strategic, respected. Instead, she's exhausted - from carrying numbers on her back by day and emotions on her chest by night. Jennie never touches her. Never says her name unless necessary. Never lets her get too close. But somehow... never quite lets her go, either. ⸻ Rosé says Lisa's addicted to the pain. Jisoo just calls it career suicide in slow motion. Lisa doesn't answer either of them. She just keeps showing up. Keeps designing campaigns around the way Jennie moves. Keeps writing scent descriptions that read more like love letters. Keeps pretending her chest doesn't ache every time Jennie smiles - just slightly - at someone who isn't her

They say I'm the heartbreaker. The flirt. The one who collects admirers without ever letting any of them too close. Men line up with flowers, fancy cars, and promises of forever. Some women try their luck too. Tall, handsome, beautiful - I've seen them all. And I? I laugh, I play, I surprise them with gestures they'll never forget... then I walk away before anyone can surprise me back. Because I don't fall. Not for anyone. At least, that's what I believed. Until her. Lisa Manoban. The one woman I was never supposed to want. The one person my brother, Kim Jiyong, trusted above everyone else. His best friend. His business partner. His family. She was supposed to be off-limits. She was supposed to be untouchable. But when it came to Lisa, every rule I lived by stopped mattering. Because sometimes, it only takes one person to make you break every promise you've made to yourself. Sometimes... it only takes one exception.

Forced into desperation, Jennie agrees to a contract marriage with Pran Brüschweiler - the cold, enigmatic daughter of Italy's most powerful mafia Don.

And together, they finally find the light they spent their lives searching for. A sapphic dark romance about survival, trauma, healing, and the overwhelming strength of choosing love.
