Two families, two runaways, and one web of lies. When the wedding of the century falls apart in a single night, Y/N Oberoi is forced to step into her sister's place to save her father's empire. She expects a loveless marriage to the cold, formidable Jeon Jungkook-the "Mafia King" of Seoul. What she doesn't know is that she isn't just a replacement bride; she is a target. Jungkook didn't fly to India for a wedding. He came for justice. For years, he has carried the weight of his younger sister's death, and now, the man responsible has handed him the perfect weapon: his own daughter. In the shadows of a guarded Seoul mansion, the vows are a contract and the rings are a cage. Y/N is prepared to fight for her rights and her voice, but how do you fight a man who sees your face as a reminder of his greatest loss? He wants her broken. She refuses to be silenced. In this game of blood and betrayal, only one thing is certain: in a Bitter Union, love is the most dangerous form of revenge.

Jeon Jungkook owns the city, but he doesn't own his heart-not until he sees Dr. Y/N. He is a man who rules through fear and justice, a shadow in the corporate world and a king in the underworld. When a mission of vengeance leaves him bleeding, he ends up in the hands of the only woman who doesn't tremble at his name. He's decided he's keeping her, but how do you trap a butterfly without crushing its wings

With a cruel ranking system, only favored concubines had the honor of meeting with His Majesty. And only the woman able to bear him a child could become empress. Raine Stjorme had climbed the ranks to the top. And after praying each night, she was finally with child. Yet all this was rewarded with the cruelest of fates. Murdered by the man she loved, Raine cursed Emperor Sylvos with her dying breath. She cursed his whole court as they snickered at her final moments. And her curse had taken root. Now, Raine awakens three years before her destined death, on the fateful day she first encounters the emperor. Armed with this second chance, she vows to make him fall - and to bring his empire down with him.

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

In the high-stakes world of the Jeon Empire, Jungkook is a man defined by two things: absolute power and a cold, impenetrable silence. As a Mafia King and CEO, his security is an unbreakable fortress, and his temper is a storm few dare to weather. Yet, behind the closed doors of his private life, he pours millions into the lives of those who have nothing-a secret side of mercy that no one truly understands. Enter Y/N, a girl as soft as a whisper, who finds herself bound to him through a strategic family alliance. This isn't a war; it's an arrangement. But for Y/N, living in the shadow of a man who commands the room without saying a word is terrifying. She doesn't stumble over her words, but she finds herself suffocated by her own shyness, too afraid to ask for the simplest things from the husband she barely knows. In a house where protection is guaranteed but warmth is a mystery, what happens when the man who never shows emotion meets the girl who is too shy to ask for his heart? Can a fortress built on power ever feel like a home?

- Y/N's POV- I still remember that day clearly.....every night it comes back to me like a nightmare. The small fragile human getting pushed into my arms. Tears streaming down my face as I looked at her....Doctors storming in from everywhere trying everything they could to keep her alive. The look in her eyes she gave me made me break inside. She knew she wasn't going to make it. She smiled at me and took one last look at her child before speaking. ''Take care of Minjoon'' the heart monitor going flat drummed through my ears as my mother collapsed to the ground. It's a day I wish to forget, but whenever I look at him it all just comes back. ''Eomma'' I snapped out of my daze feeling Minjoon his tiny hand tug on my jacket. ''Ah Minjoon- ah what did I say about calling me eomma'' I pointed out making him look at the ground. ''Not to call you that....'' He muttered softly making me nod my head. ''Noona it's Noona'' I joked before pinching his cheek. He sure grew up a lot...Wish you could be here to see that.

Jungkook and Siri didn't care that they were arranged to marry. They've only ever wanted eachother ever since they became bestfriends when they were 4 years old.
