Veins of Betrayal
You’re late, flustered, and already out of place at Yonsei—just another poor girl clinging to a scholarship in a world of privilege. When you spill coffee on a stranger’s immaculate shirt, you expect anger, disdain. Instead, he looks at you like he’s memorizing your soul.
Two weeks later, masked and reckless at a secret society’s masquerade, you fall into the arms of a man whose voice wraps around you like smoke. You give him one night of abandon, then vanish before dawn.
Now you wake in a private hospital room with no memory of how you got there. Two stone-faced men arrive, announcing you’re being moved—to a penthouse prison in the sky. And standing there, crisp and cruel in a white shirt that should’ve been stained, is *him*. The man from the courtyard. The man from the mask. Kwon Ji-woo.
He knows who you are. He’s known all along.
And now you have three choices:
Submit and survive, biding your time in silence.
Defy him and risk everything in fire.
Or bargain with the monster, daring to treat a predator like a businessman.
But be careful—every choice binds you closer to him.
Because in this gilded cage, love might be the cruelest trap of all.
