Marriage was supposed to be the easy part. After everything they went through, Jennie and Lisa finally got their happily ever after - a quiet married life filled with teasing mornings, late-night talks, business meetings, and soft moments that made their chaotic journey worth it. With their daughters growing up surrounded by love, Jennie believed the past was finally behind her. Until her parents reached out. The same parents she ran away from. The same people who once chose power, reputation, and control over their own daughter. Now they want to reconcile. Now they want forgiveness. Now they want to meet their granddaughters. But Jennie isn't ready. Because some wounds don't heal with apologies. Some memories don't disappear with time. And some doors, once closed, are meant to stay shut. As her parents push their way back into her life, Jennie finds herself torn between protecting the family she built and confronting the past she tried so hard to escape. With Lisa standing firmly by her side and Agatha reminding her what real love looks like, Jennie must decide whether forgiveness means letting them back in... or finally choosing peace over blood. In the end, Jennie only knows one thing for sure - No matter what happens, it will always be her and Lisa. Us, Always.

At the glass-walled pinnacle of Kim Enterprises, Jennie Kim rules with an iron grip and a heart made of ice. To the world, Lisa Manoban is merely her highly efficient executive assistant-a shadow meant to manage her schedule and anticipate her every whim. Jennie tells herself that her irritation when Lisa is late, or her fixation on Lisa's every movement, is simply a demand for corporate perfection. But the mask of professionalism shatters the moment Jennie spots Lisa in the lobby, laughing effortlessly with a young intern. The sight of someone else commanding Lisa's attention triggers a territorial hunger Jennie wasn't prepared to face. It's no longer about the schedule or the files; it's about the fact that Lisa belongs in her office, under her gaze, and within her reach. Suddenly, the cold CEO is making up excuses for mandatory overtime and inventing strictly confidential meetings-anything to pull Lisa away from the world and lock her back inside the golden cage of Jennie's private suite. Jennie might still deny her feelings, but her actions say what her pride won't: Lisa isn't just an employee; she's an obsession Jennie has no intention of sharing.

Is she willing to accept his past and move on? ********* I thought about all the obstacles I had to overcome to get to where I am today as I walked towards my sons crib. Everything I went through was worth it. "Don't worry, mommy's coming," I said in a baby voice hoping to comfort him even though he wasn't crying. My heart dropped in my chest when I saw it was empty. No baby in sight. "Gray!," I screamed loudly like I was getting stabbed over and over again. He ran into the nursery, scanning the area for any danger. "He's gone! Our baby's gone!" His eyebrows furrowed as his eyes softened realising what happened. Just as quick as it came, it vanished and he was back with the icy look in his eye. The one he had when we first met. For a moment, I was afraid of him going back to his old self before dismissing that thought and focusing on my missing newborn son. Don't worry, I'm coming for you, my little bubba... Will the angel given to him melt the Alphas ice solid façade or not? Is she helping him escape his darkness or is she dragging him into hers? Read to find out... Cover by @belladz07

In Seoul's ruthless underworld, Jennie Kim rules as the brilliant, ice-cold strategist of her powerful syndicate. Lalisa Manoban is her most lethal weapon - fiercely loyal, dangerously possessive, and ready to paint the city red for the only woman who makes her lose control. When a perfectly planned heist at Irene and Seulgi's neutral club ends in disaster, a encrypted drive containing every major player's darkest secrets disappears. Forced into a shaky alliance with rival factions, Jennie and Lisa must navigate deadly betrayals, undercover games, and powerful outsiders who want Jennie for themselves. As Lisa's jealousy ignites into something wild and protective, the slow-burning tension between them threatens to consume everything. With war brewing and enemies closing in, can their bond survive the blood and fire... or will it be what finally crowns them unstoppable? Jealousy. Power. Loyalty. A love that burns empires to the ground.

At Kim University, where the children of billionaires reign like gods and scholarship kids fight for scraps of oxygen, Jennie Kim is the untouchable Ice Queen-beautiful, vicious, w melt steel and a quiet strength that refuses to kneel. When Lisa dares to defend her friends against the elite's cruelty, Jennie makes a cruel bet: seduce the charming "peasant," make her fall hopelessly in love, then destroy her publicly. It should be easy. It should be nothing. But every stolen glance, every rain-soaked jacket draped over trembling shoulders, every lingering touch in hidden corners cracks Jennie's frozen armor. The bet poisons her heart while Lisa's gentle dominance and hidden pain awaken something raw and terrifying in her. Jealousy, betrayal, public humiliation, and a shocking inheritance that flips the entire campus power structure will tear them apart and forge them anew. Amidst the chaos: Jisoo's quiet yearning for Rosé's warmth while hiding a family secret, Seulgi and Irene's toxic push-pull of power and surrender; Nayeon's insecure fire clashing with Jeongyeon's protective bluntness; Mina shedding her ballerina poise for Chaeyoung's raw tattoos and street art rebellion; Momo and Sana's passionate, jealous dance of devotion. In the game of crowns and hearts, the one who falls first loses everything... or gains the world.

In the glittering world of Seoul's elite, power is everything-and love is a weakness few can afford. Jennie Ruby Jane Kim, the rebellious heiress to one of South Korea's most powerful conglomerates, lives life on her own terms. Feared, desired, and endlessly watched, she hides her scars behind designer labels and reckless nights, refusing to ever fall in love again after a betrayal that shattered her. Lalisa Brüschweiler Manoban is something far more dangerous. A brilliant, ruthless CEO with a global empire at her feet, Lisa is known for her cold precision in business-but beneath the surface, she leads a hidden criminal network that controls far more than money. She doesn't chase. She doesn't feel. And she never keeps anyone longer than a single night. Until one mistake changes everything. When Jennie unknowingly steps into Lisa's car, a single encounter sparks something neither of them expected. What begins as curiosity quickly turns into obsession, as Lisa begins to watch Jennie from the shadows-studying her, protecting her, and slowly weaving herself into Jennie's world. But Jennie is not someone who can be controlled. As their paths collide again years later in a high-stakes business deal, tension ignites into a dangerous game of power, desire, and control. With enemies closing in, secrets unraveling, and two empires on the line, Jennie finds herself drawn into Lisa's dark world, one where loyalty is tested, betrayal is fatal, and love may be the most dangerous risk of all. In a story of obsession, ambition, and emotional warfare, two powerful women must decide: Will they destroy each other or become something unstoppable together?

In a world where success is built on names, power, and perception, two women strike a deal that looks flawless on the surface, but hides everything real beneath it. Lisa Manoban is a gifted young architect, driven and relentless, yet constantly overlooked in an industry that values reputation over raw talent. She knows skill alone isn't enough and she's willing to make bold choices to secure her place at the top. Jennie Kim, born into a powerful construction empire, has spent her life surrounded by blueprints and expectations she never asked for. While her family pushes her toward a future in their corporation, her heart beats for a different stage, one far from boardrooms and business deals. When their paths cross, they form an arrangement that benefits them both: an arrangement that opens doors for Lisa and creates an escape door for Jennie. But what happens when their own choices begin to unravel them? When ambition starts to feel like regret, and freedom comes with a cost they never expected? And if what's between them grows into something deeper than intended...will it save them....or quietly break them both? Slowburn ahead...

"She Was Never Supposed to Notice Me." ----- Lisa is untouchable. Cold. Perfect. But some cracks run deeper than anyone can see. Jennie notices the bruises, the silences, the fear behind her flawless mask. A life carefully controlled... and a past she doesn't remember. A father who seems real, but something about him doesn't add up. Getting close could destroy them both. Walking away could leave Lisa trapped in her invisible cage forever. Some truths are dangerous. Some memories never stay buried. And some silences are screaming. Jen GIP WARNING! •This story is a dark.

"Hi, Nerdie- Excuse me!" Step one: Go back to high school... disguised as a total nerd. Step two: Figure out what's really going wrong at the elite academy. Step three: Do NOT-under any circumstances-fall into high school drama. Simple enough... right? Wrong. Because the queen bee of the school has officially decided I'm her newest obsession.

Two worlds that should never meet. Until one case binds them together. Jennie's investigation threatens to expose a truth powerful enough to tear the underworld apart. And for the first time in her life, Lalisa Manoban hesitates. Jennie stands fearless in the courtroom. Lisa watches from the shadows. Neither willing to step back. Neither able to walk away.
