"Do you just want to toy me around?" "Ju...You're too real for that" - She was the orphan girl no one wanted-except him. Raised in the quiet halls of an orphanage, she found comfort in the daily visits of the boy who seemed to care more than anyone else ever had. As the years passed and she turned eighteen, he begged his powerful family to let her move into their home-not as a sister, but something closer, something undefined. They lived side by side, not as siblings, not quite as lovers, caught in the tender space between. Her innocence kept her guarded. His desire, restrained. But while she clung to the safety of what-ifs, he sought shadows of her in other women. Until the truth shattered the illusion. When she finally learns what he's been hiding, she gives him one chance to prove he can be hers-for real. And this time, he won't let her go.

"let me show you how a real man treats a woman" - She was the best in the company-brilliant, driven, untouchable. But not to him. He saw her long before her heartbreak. The CEO with power in his hands and restraint in his heart, he never dared to cross the line... until the line vanished. When her boyfriend cheated-claiming her boundaries were too much-she was left shattered but not alone. Because he stepped in. He didn't just offer comfort. He offered everything. Dinners that melted stress away, gifts that reminded her of her worth, and patience when others demanded more than she was ready to give. He never rushed her. Never pushed. Just waited. Until she realized she didn't have to protect herself from him. Their connection burned hotter than she expected-and before long, she wasn't just the best in the company. She was the CEO's everything. And the whole office knew it-including the ex who let her go, now watching the woman he lost become the one everyone envies.
