Jennie Kim was meant to inherit an empire.
But her grandmother gave her an ultimatum:
No driver. No company.
She agreed, thinking it was just another restriction.
She was wrong.
Because the driver assigned to her was Lisa Manoban.
The girl who once loved her.
The girl who vanished before graduation.
The girl who was supposed to be at the top of her class... and never made it.
Now Lisa stands beside her, eyes lowered, calling her Miss Jennie,
pretending she doesn't still orbit around her.
But Jennie remembers.
The devotion.
The way Lisa looked at her like she was everything.
And this time, Lisa isn't chasing her anymore.
Lisa never asked Jennie Kim to love her,
She only learned how to survive loving her.

Burned by You - Jenlisa
Jennie Kim (23) had never truly possessed much, only her beauty, her confidence, and the reckless audacity to take what she wanted. And Lisa... Lisa (26) had been everything. The girl who had loved her with a ferocity that burned brighter than anything Jennie had ever known. She had given her heart, her soul, her entire being-and Jennie had thrown it away. All of it discarded for a fleeting affair with someone who stirred nothing in her. Jennie had always craved wealth, power, a life beyond herself. And Lisa... Lisa had nothing. Not money, not connections, not the luxuries Jennie so desperately desired. So she left. She left the girl who had loved her fiercely, who had offered her the purest kind of devotion, all for a life gilded with gold but empty of passion. She chose convenience over love, possession over devotion, and in doing so shattered the only person who had ever truly seen her. Three years had passed. Three years in which every moment had gnawed at her, leaving a hollow ache she could no longer ignore. And now she was back, standing at the threshold of the life she had once destroyed, humbled and desperate, yet still burning with desire. She had come to Lisa's world as quietly as she could, hiding her intentions behind a mask of contrition, applying for the one position that would place her closest to the girl she had ruined: Lisa's secretary. Jennie didn't care what she had to endure, what humiliation or indignity she would suffer. She didn't care what walls Lisa had built around her heart, or how coldly she might be received. She would claw her way back, inch by inch, into the woman's life, back into her trust, back into her heart. She would win Lisa over again-or die trying. Whatever it took, whatever it demanded, she was ready. And this time... she wouldn't make the same mistake. !/G!P/! ⚠️TW⚠️ Cheating / Infidelity Emotional manipulation Toxic relationships Revenge Violence Emotional abuse Angst and dark themes Mature language
