𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗲𝘀 || 𝖫𝖾𝖾 𝖬𝗂𝗇𝗁𝗈

𝘓𝘦𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘰 built his empire on silence, ruthlessness, and blood, at twenty-eight, the Korean businessman is the untouchable head of 𝗟𝗲𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, one of the most powerful cyber-security firms in the world. To the public, he is calm, calculated, intimidating. Behind closed doors, he is far 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘳 - a man who clawed his way to the top by destroying anyone who stood in his path. He doesn't believe in love, lust, or desire. For 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘰, the only things worth protecting are his 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 and the 𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘬 he wears.

What begins as 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘯 spirals into a 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴. He wants 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭. She wants 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮. And as much as 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘰 swears he feels 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘡𝘶𝘻𝘪𝘢 keeps drawing out the man burie
