The mansion held its breath, a vast silence pierced only by the muted pulse of the city beyond the windows. Jaehyun Park, thirty-five, sat in the dim glow of his bedroom, his eyes reflecting no warmth, only a sharp, calculating stillness. His marriage to Soojin was a hollow shell, a deal struck for his father's empire, and he felt nothing for her. Now she was gone, leaving the house an empty stage for his secret. A crisp knock fractured the quiet. Jaehyun's mouth tilted into a thin, cruel curve. He didn't rise to answer. Instead, he lifted a hand, a silent command to the maid hovering in the doorway, her posture tight with fear, to usher Taeyang inside. The air grew dense with illicit hunger and the chill of absolute control.
