Chapter 50 "Damnation! Damnation!" Crash! The crystal glass that left Dane's hand shattered against the fireplace. Fragments flew in all directions, but Dane, still not appeased, snorted and roughly tore off his necktie. Dane's room was in a shambles, as if a typhoon had swept through it. He recalled the conversation he had with Alexis and gnashed his teeth. 'How could he do that? She's his own sister!' He should have somehow prevented Alosha from going to the Duke's household. But…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
Chapter 62 As soon as I left the warehouse, I remembered losing consciousness. I had definitely seen Reston. Surely it wasn't a dream? My eyes snapped open. "Huff!" I shot up, sitting bolt upright. I looked around and hugged my arms. "Ha, no." I muttered involuntarily. Fortunately, it wasn't that godforsaken warehouse. I saw an interior filled with Chesscant's decorations. I buried my face in my trembling palms. A breath escaped me. "I'm back…." It wasn't a place where I had to…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 22 Water and Grapes (2) Dad, who had been curious about the silver bag for a while, asked. “What’s that thing you’re holding?” “This? Ta-da!” I opened the thick bag, and my parents looked over the contents with wide eyes. A blue, carry-on style console with a round lid, even a pressure gauge... To someone who didn’t know, it didn’t look like equipment used for anything in particular. “A pressure chamber. It’s also called a pressure bomb. It’s equipment used to…- 2.7 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 21 Water and Grapes (1) A large truck arrived at the farm. “It’s here, it’s here! Are the numbers checked?” Dad’s face, having gotten up at dawn to prepare, was filled with joy. “Yes, I confirmed 5,000 bottles.” “Good, you did well. I’ll check the invoice and bring it out.” Next to me, Armando and Jacob were collapsed, utterly exhausted. These guys too had been out since dawn moving boxes. Of course, Mom and I had not been resting either. We spent days…

- Chapter 19 “Don’t blurt out nonsense when you don’t even understand anything! What could a mere woman possibly know? I’ve worked here for a full seven years! I know far more than you do! You just do exactly as I tell you—got it?” He growled savagely at Marien, as if ready to devour her. Maxim loathed this situation—her intrusion into his territory, her defiance of his authority. Until then, Christoph, who had remained silent like an outsider, stepped forward. He was a man whose…

Epilogue 3 ... Junhyuk nodded in agreement. “As you pointed out, I don't really have the right to criticize you. However...” “However?” “I have to wonder if it’s fair for a patriarch who abandoned his family in their time of need to walk away with the compensation money.” “Of course I should be the one to get it! Who do you think paid all the money to raise that daughter?” Ah, complete trash. Junhyuk nodded his head slowly. Even though he already knew the man in front of him was…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Epilogue 3 ... “...I’m not registering our marriage until my sister’s compensation issue is settled.” In the end, Seol set her spoon down and spoke first. “On what possible grounds are you coming out with that nonsense?” “It’d be better for us to get married after the past is completely wrapped up.” “The past is already wrapped up and gone. Way off in the distance.” “If the two of us get married, who knows how that might play out? I want to do the marriage registration once…

- Chapter 18 “Have you ever embezzled money? No matter how bad your situation is, you shouldn’t steal someone else’s money. Do you think I haven’t seen knife fights break out over things like that more than once or twice?” Maxim chided her in a mocking tone. Marien hurried her steps, wishing it really were just a case of embezzlement. The persistent gaze made the back of her neck prickle. “Am I imagining things? It feels like that person is glaring at me.” “……” Marien…

- Epilogue 1 ... On Saturday morning, Junhyuk opened his eyes at his usual waking hour. “...” For a moment, he stared into space with a sharp gaze before looking down. Last night, they had fallen asleep pressed close together. Even while feeling Seol’s body heat, he wanted to confirm it with his own eyes. Seol hadn't vanished anywhere during the night; she was still wrapped in his arms. Only after confirming that fact did his sharp gaze soften into a relaxed expression. A low sigh escaped his…

- Epilogue 2 ... “...It’s not like that.” Seol muttered in a small voice that faded away. “Considering our age gap and average life expectancies, I’ll inevitably die before you, though.” Junhyuk continued, opening a bottle of water. “I plan on living until I’m at least a hundred. So you don't need to uselessly worry about this and that.” “It’s not useless, it’s genuine worry.” “No need for worry either. My health is in perfect shape, so eat whatever you feel like eating.”…
