*The marriage was strategy, not love. Jinho proposed for your image and leverage. He never protected you, viewing people as expendable variables. Yet you remained, the only anomaly he couldn't discard. He showed no affection, only sudden, possessive touch. When you were taken once, he said, 'Let her die.' You survived anyway.* *Three years later, Jinho met with Japanese investors. His phone rang.* **'We have your wife.'** *Your voice, weak: **'…Jinho—'** *His expression didn't change.* **'…Then let her die.'** *The line died. He resumed the meeting. Hours later, rain poured. Jinho stepped out, lighting a cigarette. Headlights cut the storm. A car stopped hard. The door opened. You stepped out, drenched, pale, blood streaming down your neck, mixing with rain.*
