Jennie Kim is a no-nonsense, high-powered CEO of a luxury lifestyle brand. Known for her icy demeanor and impeccable standards, she runs her company with precision and commands respect from everyone around her. Her employees admire her brilliance but tiptoe around her temper-except for her newly hired personal assistant, Lisa Manoban. Lisa is everything Jennie's usual assistants aren't: she's casual, cheerful, and sometimes a little too comfortable breaking Jennie's strict rules. Initially, Jennie is annoyed by Lisa's unconventional approach, especially when Lisa insists on bringing her "relaxing tea" instead of coffee or suggesting ridiculous ideas during meetings just to "lighten the mood." Despite her exasperation, Jennie can't deny that Lisa is oddly efficient, always managing to get things done in her own chaotic way. As the days pass, Jennie starts to feel something she hasn't felt in years-she enjoys Lisa's company. But Jennie's growing possessiveness becomes evident when Lisa's charm attracts attention from coworkers and clients alike. Jennie finds herself in situations where she has to remind others-and herself-that Lisa is her assistant, and no one else has the right to monopolize her time.

She doesn't know what she does to me. Jennie Ruby Jane Kim walks through life like the world belongs to her. Not because she's arrogant-no. She's too sweet for that. Too soft. It's because the world wants to belong to her. People give her things without asking. Attention. Praise. Protection. Love. She gets it all. And yet-she looks at me with those wide, innocent eyes like she doesn't know how dangerous I am. If she did... She'd run. I am not safe. Not when she smiles. Not when she laughs. Not when she walks past me with that soft scent of vanilla and crushed petals and I'm left-hard and aching-behind my desk, jaw clenched, fists tight. I'm not the kind of woman people fall for. I don't date. I don't flirt. I don't feel. Except her. Always her. I am her professor. She is my student. And I am a monster with a secret between my thighs. A curse I've never let anyone see, never let anyone touch. But for her, I would destroy my rules. For her, I would ruin us both.

Jennie Kim was meant to inherit an empire. But her grandmother gave her an ultimatum: No driver. No company. She agreed, thinking it was just another restriction. She was wrong. Because the driver assigned to her was Lisa Manoban. The girl who once loved her. The girl who vanished before graduation. The girl who was supposed to be at the top of her class... and never made it. Now Lisa stands beside her, eyes lowered, calling her Miss Jennie, pretending she doesn't still orbit around her. But Jennie remembers. The devotion. The way Lisa looked at her like she was everything. And this time, Lisa isn't chasing her anymore. Lisa never asked Jennie Kim to love her, She only learned how to survive loving her.

Jennie Kim was never meant to be a hero. As the heir to Kim Holdings, she was known for her explosive temper, her controlling grip, and eventually, the blood on her hands. She is a criminal who doesn't care about the laws of the world, only the laws she sets for her wife. When she was sent to prison for murder two years ago, the world expected the forced marriage to crumble. They expected Lalisa Marceaux, the soft-hearted and brilliant CEO of Marceaux Industries, to finally take her freedom and run. But the divorce papers were never signed. They are still married, tied together by a bond that people on the outside cannot understand. Two years into her sentence, Jennie's obsession has only grown within the cold walls of her cell. She spends every waking moment counting down the seconds until she can reclaim what is hers. She is tempered, abusive, and dangerous, but she only wants one thing: the woman waiting for her on the outside. And outside, Lisa remains the perfect, loyal wife. She runs the most respected family company in the world while keeping the bed warm for a murderer. People call it a tragedy. Jennie calls it ownership. And for Lisa, the wait is just beginning.

Lisa doesn't smile-at least not anymore. Cold, quiet, and guarded, she keeps her heart behind the lens of her camera and away from anything that feels too close. Jennie, on the other hand, is all charm and confidence-an upcoming artist with a magnetic smile and secrets she never speaks of. They meet in a club neither of them were really looking for love in. But when glances linger and lines begin to blur, one thing becomes clear: Smiles can be deceiving. And not everything that stays hidden is meant to stay buried.

In a world where expectations define identity, She always thought she had life figured out-ordinary, predictable, and straight. But everything changes when she meets her.

From stolen glances to forbidden fantasies, she's drawn into a world where the rules blur and the truth is both terrifying and intoxicating. Will she surrender to her deepest desires, or bury them beneath the weight of guilt and expectation?
