Lee Elena was only twenty when the man she loved vanished without a goodbye. Kim Taehyung-disciplined, intense, and dangerously possessive-was her first love and her deepest wound. For three years, she learned how to live with the silence he left behind, turning heartbreak into strength, love into restraint.
Now, at twenty-three, Elena meets him again-and he is no longer the man she once knew. Kim Taehyung returns as a powerful mafia leader, ruthless and feared, a man whose hands are stained with blood and whose control over the world around him is absolute. But when it comes to Elena, his obsession remains unchanged. He doesn't ask for forgiveness. He doesn't explain gently. He only makes one promise: this time, he will never let her go.
Elena feels nothing but hatred when she looks at him-or so she tells herself. Beneath the anger, the love she buried long ago still burns, dangerous and unresolved. Caught between the man who shattered her heart and the monster who would destroy the world to keep her, Elena must decide whether love that never died can survive the darkness it became.
This is a story of obsession and choice, of power and vulnerability, where love is not soft, forgiveness is not easy, and the most dangerous thing of all is wanting someone who once broke you.
