      TO 17 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 17 The line was already dead. Seo-ah stared down at her phone with blank, hollow eyes. Her dazed gaze wandered over to the stone steps leading down to the main gate. The aching affection she had tried so hard to suppress for the baby inside her suddenly burst through the dam. Along with it came the memory of that other child—the one buried deep within her heart, impossible to ever forget. No one will protect my baby. No one in this family... Only I... Only I can save my child. Gritings her…

      TO 16 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 16 "Hey." Mrs. Kim gestured with her chin toward the apron hanging on the wall, silently ordering Seo-ah to put it on immediately. Seo-ah stared at the apron for a moment. She wasn't alone anymore. While she didn't feel terribly ill, it was early in her pregnancy, so she had to be extra cautious. "Mrs. Kim, I really don't think this is right." At Seo-ah's response, Mrs. Kim's eyes stretched tightly toward her temples in sharp irritation. "What did you just say, young ma'am?" The title 'young…

      by Ruby Chapter 15 "N-Not here, please," Seo-ah pleaded desperately. But her words fell on deaf ears. "What difference does it make? All you need is my seed anyway. Is there really any reason to go all the way to the bedroom? Besides..." Taehyuk yanked her underwear down. "You were the one who treated me like an animal first." "Ah!" Before Seo-ah could even prepare herself, Taehyuk breached her body. "A-Ah..." The sudden wave of pain made her knees tremble, but she forced herself to endure it. Just as…

      TO 14 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 14 "I'm sorry." Seo-ah lowered her head deeply. Seunghi scanned her up and down before letting out a sharp click of her tongue. "Your mother-in-law is here and you don't even offer a cup of tea?" "Ah, yes." Seo-ah quickly turned toward the kitchen. Behind her, Seunghi's voice pierced the air like an icicle. "Forget the tea. Go down to the parking garage and get the side dishes from Driver Kim." "The side dishes?" "Yes! Because you made such a scene that day, I couldn't even give Taehyuk the…

      TO 13 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 13 Taehyuk ran a hand down his face in frustration as he read through the documents on his tablet. "Is... is something wrong?" At the executive's hesitant voice, Taehyuk looked up. The man stood there with his hands folded neatly, looking completely utterly terrified, like someone trying to appease a harsh master. Taehyuk raised an eyebrow, silently asking what he meant. "Well, it's just... your expression has looked uncomfortable for a while now..." Only then did Taehyuk realize he hadn't…

      TO 12 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 12 As if refusing to allow even the slightest warmth, Taehyuk spoke coldly. Before long, unbuttoning his shirt, Taehyuk turned toward Seo-ah. “Let’s stop wasting time with things neither of us wants to do. Let's just each get what we want. How about it?” Things neither of us wants to do. Those words lodged themselves in Seo-ah’s heart like a piece of ice. It was a heart that had been filled with Taehyuk’s warmth just a tiny bit over the past few days. Through the hole pierced by…

      TO 11 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 11 “Answer me.” Taehyuk’s voice dropped low. It meant he was angry. The angrier Taehyuk got, the lower his voice sank. “D-Dear, it’s not like that...” Seo-ah stepped in hurriedly. “I asked Mrs. Kim,” Taehyuk dismissed her with clear displeasure. “I’m sorry,” Mrs. Kim hung her head low. “What is going on here?” Just then, Seung-hee entered the kitchen and asked. Taehyuk snapped around toward Seung-hee. “Did you order this, Mother?” “Order what?” “Why is…

      TO 10 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 10 “Um... I’d like it if you didn't look at me in front of your parents.” Taehyuk narrowed his eyes. “I’d prefer it if you didn't pay any attention to me at all. No matter what I do.” “You’re asking me to treat you like a ghost?” Seo-ah nodded vigorously. “What’s the reason? Does that have to do with your pregnancy, too?” Along with the word 'pregnancy,' his gaze swept over her lower abdomen. “Yes.” Seo-ah answered firmly. Because this was a matter directly…

      TO 1 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 0 “Come back to me, Lee Seo-ah.” Taehyuk’s low voice drifted through the chilly autumn air, striking right at the center of Seo-ah’s heart. There was a time when she loved that voice. It was relaxed yet crystal clear, cutting through the silence with just the right mix of arrogance and coldness. She loved it all the more for it, believing it was his defining trait. He hadn't changed a bit. Standing nearly 190 centimeters tall, he carried a balanced, athletic build built by discipline.…

      by Martin Chapter 25 "By the way, how long were you in this gloomy prison?" "No answer again." "Chun-Sam, if you don't answer me from now on every time I speak, I really won't just sit still." "...What if you don't?" "I'll call the guard. And I'll tell them that the person next to me is my husband, so please put us in the same cell." "What?" While he was too flustered to speak, Alosha began to elaborate on the story she had just blurted out. "Our wedding was held quietly in a small chapel…
