~Chapter 4~ The juice bottle she had been holding was flung onto the bed. The hands stripping off her clothes were just as rough as when she was being shoved into the bathtub. “I’ll do it! I can do it myself!” She shouted in a panic, but it was no use. The nanny swiftly and skillfully removed her jeans and T-shirt, then frowned at the sight of her panties and bra. “Where did you get such indecent things again?!” But when Donghee resisted with all her strength, the nanny gave up on taking…-

~Chapter 3 “Let’s open it.” Standing in front of the door, Donghee carefully entered the four-digit code of her birthday—a date no one else ever remembered. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. With each mechanical beep, her heartbeat grew louder. Her fingertips trembled nervously, as though she were sneaking around doing something bad. And finally— Beep-click! With the familiar unlocking sound, all the tension in her body suddenly melted away. “It opened!” Thrilled beyond reason, Donghee yanked…

~Chapter 2~ “Patrasche is a dog, though.” “Pfft! Still, you must never say that in front of others. Got it?” Contrary to how nervous she had been, the soft and warm cloth wiping her face felt surprisingly pleasant. But why is she wiping it for me? Can’t I wash myself? With a flicker of hope, Donghee swung her legs and stretched her arms high. Yet even as she did so, the nanny remained utterly focused, diligently wiping every corner of Donghee’s face. Thankfully, her arms and…

~Chapter~ ₩780,000. That was all Donghee had managed to scrape together after working three part-time jobs and barely catching any sleep all month. Three jobs, and this was it? The reason was predictable. Debt. The massive sum of money she had never even laid eyes on came from gambling debts her brother owed to loan sharks—her brother, who hadn’t contacted her in years. Like bloodhounds, the loan sharks tracked her down and threw that monstrous debt on her shoulders like it was some kind…

Chapter 12 The Duke cast a leisurely gaze out the window. Outside, the scenery had already changed. Instead of vast fields, deep blue sea waves rolled gently—apparently, the train had entered his territory. You’re going to have a hard time of it. Recalling Marien’s resolute expression, the Duke let out a sigh-like murmur and quietly narrowed his eyes. Failure, too, was a gate through which every Schneider heir must pass. Better to break early than to crumble at a crucial…-

Chapter 11 Christoph twitched his lips and rubbed his face with his dry hands. He was clearly flustered—or perhaps anxious. “I don’t know anything about Marien.” “…My lord.” “I…” Christoph finally buried his face in his palms. Martin, fearing he might be crying, unconsciously took a step forward. But he wasn’t. A voice utterly desolate slipped through his palms. “If not the capital, then where could Marien be?” The murmur sounded so heartbreakingly forlorn…

Chapter 10 “Yes, he was arrogant. Arrogantly so—he had been utterly convinced that Marien would forever remain by his side, gazing at him with tender eyes and calling his name in that sweet voice. So he made no effort at all. After all, Marien would surely love him. He never even considered the possibility that she might not love him. But now she wasn’t beside Christoph. Damn it! He clenched his fists and muttered a low curse. Why hadn’t he listened to her words? Why hadn’t he comforted…

Chapter 9 “…….” A brief silence fell over the room. It was not a comfortable silence. Nicholas stared intently with sharp eyes at Simon, then Marien, and back at Simon again. The moment he thought his mouth twisted in displeasure, a rough, sandpaper-like voice burst out. “Chief, this is…….” “Times are changing. The capital police department already has ten female officers on duty. We can’t afford to lag behind forever, can we, Nicholas?” Simon explained in a gentle,…

Chapter 8 Still, it’s my first day on the job, so I should look neat, right? Yes, I’ve decided on you.” With a look of resolve, she pulled out the plainest navy-blue dress. The fabric felt rough against her fingertips, but its lack of fussy embellishments made it comfortable to move in. “Good. Not bad at all.” Marien smiled contentedly at her reflection in the mirror. The coarse fabric against her skin wasn’t particularly uncomfortable—in fact, it felt more like wearing clothes that truly…

Chapter 7 Ena let out a sigh-like murmur. Christoph slowly turned only his eyes to look at her. Ena, pale as a sheet, closed her eyes with a look of utter despair. “If Marien ran away of her own will and doesn’t want anyone to find her, she’ll never contact us. She knows you’d be the first person she’d come to. My daughter, Marien… is a clever girl.” “…….” Ena was right. Marien was the cleverest child of them all. When she had enrolled in law school, how proudly Fabian had walked…
