She stopped believing in miracles. All she ever wanted was simple to be chosen. To be kept. To be loved just once in her life. So when marriage came, she thought maybe this was it.

He was looking for revenge. Haunted by the death of his parents, he vowed to destroy the man responsible. And when fate placed the daughter of his enemy in his hands, he made a promise she would suffer for her father's sins. To her, he was hope. To him, she was punishment. In a marriage built on revenge and innocence, can love survive? Or will hatred burn everything before it even begins?

A heartbeat. Then another. A woman's trembling voice. "Do you know what it feels like... when the person you loved becomes the reason your world ends?" Newspapers fly through the rain. FRAUD. TRAITOR. DISGRACED. Y/N stands alone as cameras flash. No one believes her. A cold male voice. "I did what I had to do." A lonely penthouse. An untouched dinner. Rain streaking across floor-to-ceiling windows. A wedding ring left on a table. A man who once had everything... now has nothing. "I was wrong." Y/N opens her apartment door. Taehyung stands outside. Soaked by rain. Eyes hollow. Silent. She stares at him with years of hatred. Then- SLAM. The door closes. Someone whispers- "The truth was buried for years." A car explodes. A masked figure watches from the shadows. A file stamped CONFIDENTIAL lands at Taehyung's feet. Y/N screams his name. His hand reaches for hers- -but they're torn apart. One final whisper. "Some betrayals destroy love..." A pause. "Others become the reason it survives." ASHES BEFORE DAWN Hate. Betrayal. Loneliness. Guilt. Love.
