Roseanne Park was born into one of the most powerful families in Korea, but power did not save her. As a child, she was cast out of the Park household by her stepmother and erased from the family that should have protected her. Stripped of her name, wealth, and place in society, Roseanne vanished from Seoul and spent the next twelve years surviving far from the world she once belonged to. Then the past called her back. After her grandmother's death, Roseanne is summoned to Seoul to claim a massive inheritance. But there is one condition: to receive it, she must be married. Roseanne has no desire to reclaim the Park family legacy. She has already built her own power far from them. Returning to Korea is only meant to secure a business partnership with one of the country's most influential corporations. Kim Capital Holdings. What she doesn't know is that its CEO, Kim Jisoo, has been searching for her since the day she disappeared. For twelve years, he never stopped looking. As their paths finally crossed, buried secrets began to claw their way to the surface, and powerful forces stirred in the shadows, watching, waiting. Roseanne's return was never meant to be simple and at the eye of the storm stood Kim Jisoo, silent, unyielding, and knowing far more than she could imagine. ** This is a Chaesoo fanfiction Disclaimer This book is a work of fiction.
