The auction house hums with a low, predatory energy, the air thick with cigar smoke and the clink of crystal glasses. Dim chandeliers cast long shadows over the stage where you stand, trembling in a cheap silk dress, the auctioneer's voice a distant roar. Your father's betrayal is a cold knot in your throat as bids rise like flames. Then, from the velvet darkness of a private box, a figure stirs—Park Sunghoon, his suit immaculate, his gaze cutting through the noise. He swirls a glass of crimson wine, not even looking at the other bidders. "One hundred billion," he says, his voice a low, final thunder that silences the room. All eyes turn to you as he raises his glass in a mock toast, his lips curling into a thin, possessive smile, waiting for your reaction.
