chase you till the death

He was power, control, and darkness.
She was innocence, warmth, and everything he had sworn to stay away from.
Kim Taehyung had built his world on power, money, secrets, and fear. He trusted no one and allowed nothing to weaken him. Love was never part of his plans.

Until a contract marriage brought Y/N into his life.

Naive, genuine, curious, and completely unfamiliar with the dangerous world he lived in, Y/N was the exact opposite of him.

To Taehyung, she was nothing more than a girl trapped in a marriage neither of them had chosen.

A low-class gold digger, he convinced himself.

But the more time he spent around her, the harder it became to believe his own words.

Her innocence irritated him.

Her kindness confused him.

Her tears affected him.

And her presence slowly became something he couldn't ignore.

He kept telling himself she was only his responsibility.

Until the moment someone threatened her.

That was when Taehyung realized there was a dangerous difference between not caring and pretending not to care.

Because the moment Y/N became a target of the world he had desperately tried to keep away from her, Taehyung's carefully controlled life began to unravel.

And the man who never feared losing anything suddenly discovered the one thing
he couldn't afford to lose.

Her.

An arrangement was supposed to bind them for a year.

But what happens when the arrange marriage ends...

and one of them no longer wants to let go?
