Park Seonghwa never imagined his quiet life would unravel with a single phone call. "You will marry Kim Hongjoong. It's not a choice." His father's voice was sharp and steady on the other side of the line he left no room for negotiation. The Kim family-cold, feared, and haunted by a violent past-offered an arranged marriage to get an heir for the family. But the man Seonghwa is supposed to wed doesn't even show up to meet him on the first meeting. Instead, Seonghwa faces the cold truth from Hongjoong's father: "If anything happens to my son, you inherit everything. The fortune. The protection." Seonghwa wants no part of this. He did not want wealth born from blood. He did not want safety purchased with someone else's life. He did not want anyone to get hurt. But the choice isn't his to make especially that his father gave his words to Mr. Kim. When asked, "Are you willing to marry my son?" he hesitates... then quietly agrees. Because deep down, he knows this marriage is more than a contract for both families. Will Seonghwa survive the man who refuses to love him?

"Hey, princess. You get my gift?" "You're a fucking asshole," Seonghwa snapped, his voice raw with anger. "What the hell is this? Aftercare? You think you can just-send me shit like you care?" Yunho laughed, low and lazy, the sound grating against Seonghwa's nerves. "Thought you could use it, considering how hard you were screaming last night. You're welcome, by the way." "Fuck you," Seonghwa spat, his free hand curling into a fist. "I don't need your pity. Stop sending me things, stop showing up, just-stop." "Pity?" Yunho's tone turned mocking, sharp. "Baby, I'm just making sure you're ready for next time. Gotta keep you in one piece so I can break you again." Seonghwa's face burned, his body reacting to the words despite himself, a shiver running down his spine. "There's not gonna be a next time, you prick," he said, his voice shaking. "I'm done with you." "Sure you are," Yunho said, and Seonghwa could hear the smirk in his voice. "Bet you're already hard just thinking about it. I'll see you soon, princess." HEAVY SMUT
