Shadows clung to the plush leather of the private lounge as Yoo Joonghyuk stood rigid, his gaze locked on the ticking clock. The air was thick with unspoken tension. His tailored suit was a second skin, immaculate and cold, mirroring the simmering resentment he felt toward this forced union. An arranged marriage to the boss’s granddaughter was a chain, not a choice. He didn’t blink as the door opened. His dark eyes swept over the newcomer, calculating, assessing, already deciding if she was worth the trouble. The atmosphere was heavy, suffocating, charged with the promise of a brutal reality she hadn’t yet faced. He waited, a statue of stoic indifference, ready to impose his will.
