Korean Screen Gems, 4589026 Nathaniel Terrace, Los Angeles, CA (2026)

09/01/2026

The moment my sister-in-law called me a parasite at the family dinner I had personally prepared, my husband calmly said,

“Maybe we should get divorced.”

I was two months pregnant.

And none of them knew.

My name is Lee Seo-ah, and for seven years, I had been married to Choi Min-jae, the heir to a powerful Seoul entertainment family.

To the public, the Choi family represented perfection.

Their company managed famous K-pop idols.

Their subsidiaries produced blockbuster films starring Korea’s biggest actors.

They attended award ceremonies, luxury charity galas, and private events in Hannam-dong.

But inside that family...

I was invisible.

That evening, I had spent four hours preparing dinner inside our Hannam-dong villa.

Galbi.

Seafood soup.

Min-jae’s mother's favorite japchae.

I could barely eat because of the nausea.

Then his younger sister, Choi Yu-ra, opened one of the delivery boxes near the entrance.

“What did you buy now?”

Inside were prenatal vitamins.

Pregnancy books.

Maternity clothes.

Yu-ra laughed.

“Oppa works himself to death, and his wife keeps spending his money.”

I looked toward Min-jae.

He should have stopped her.

Instead, he asked me,

“How much?”

Something inside me went quiet.

For seven years, I had quietly paid Yu-ra's son's tuition at one of Seoul’s most expensive international schools.

Every semester.

Without fail.

I had also paid for Min-jae's mother's private medical treatment when she refused to use the family foundation's money.

But nobody knew.

Or rather...

I believed nobody knew.

“I used my own money,” I said.

Yu-ra laughed.

“What money? You sit at home all day.”

She didn't know that before marrying Min-jae, I had worked as a financial consultant.

She didn't know that I still worked privately.

Before sunrise.

Late at night.

Between family obligations.

Min-jae knew.

He simply never corrected anyone.

“You're a parasite,” Yu-ra said.

The room went silent.

Then Min-jae placed his chopsticks down.

“If you’re going to create another scene,” he said coldly, “maybe we should get divorced.”

I stared at him.

My husband.

The father of the baby growing inside me.

I slowly unlocked my phone and placed it on the table.

A pregnancy test appeared on the screen.

Two clear lines.

“I’m pregnant.”

His mother covered her mouth.

Yu-ra's expression changed.

But only for a moment.

Then she leaned back.

“Oh, please. Don't use a baby to trap my brother.”

I looked at Min-jae.

He said nothing.

That silence destroyed more than his words ever could.

That night, I packed one suitcase.

Documents.

Clothes.

And the ultrasound photograph I had received only days earlier.

As I walked toward the front door, Yu-ra laughed behind me.

“Don't come back begging.”

I stopped.

Then looked over my shoulder.

“One day,” I said quietly, “you'll understand exactly what I contributed to this family.”

Three days later, the first invoice arrived.

₩7.2 million.

For her son’s private-school tuition.

For the first time in seven years...

my name wasn't on it.

Yu-ra called Min-jae immediately.

Then his mother.

Then me.

I didn't answer.

Because by then, I was sitting inside the Seoul office of Jung Ha-rin, one of the most feared divorce attorneys in Korea.

Seven years of records were spread across her desk.

School tuition.

Medical payments.

Private transfers.

Family expenses.

Then she opened an audio recording I had saved six months earlier.

Yu-ra's voice filled the office.

“Let her keep paying...”

And behind her voice...

I heard someone else.

Someone I never expected.

My husband.

Choi Min-jae.

Jung Ha-rin slowly looked at me.

“Mrs. Choi...”

I stared at the frozen screen.

Then pressed PLAY again.

Because I was suddenly terrified of what my husband had allowed his family to do to me.

And this time...

I heard Min-jae say,

“Don't tell Seo-ah how much we're taking from her.”

The day I walked into the Seoul Family Court to finalize my divorce, I expected to lose my wife.

I never expected to discover I was about to become a father.

My name is Park Ji-hoon, and for the past eight years, the entire country had known me as the CEO of Aurora Entertainment—the company behind Korea’s biggest K-pop groups, award-winning actors, and global celebrities.

I could manage scandals worth billions.

I could control a boardroom with one sentence.

But that morning, I couldn’t control my own breathing.

Because at the end of the courthouse hallway stood my wife.

Choi Seo-ah.

And she was unmistakably pregnant.

My divorce documents slipped slightly beneath my arm.

For a few seconds, I simply stared.

Her stomach was round beneath a loose cream-colored dress. She looked at least seven months pregnant.

“Seo-ah…”

She stopped walking.

The silence between us felt heavier than every argument that had destroyed our marriage.

“You’re pregnant.”

“Yes.”

My eyes dropped again.

“How far along?”

“Twenty-nine weeks.”

My mind immediately began counting backward.

Twenty-nine weeks.

There had only been one night when the timing could possibly make sense.

A rainy night in our Hannam-dong villa.

The night before I moved out.

We had spent months barely speaking. I lived at Aurora headquarters more than I lived at home. Seo-ah had stopped asking me to come to dinner because she already knew my answer.

But that night, during a storm, something changed.

We ate together.

We laughed.

For a few hours, we remembered who we had been before fame, money, and my family’s expectations had poisoned everything between us.

The next morning, I left before she woke.

And now she was standing in front of me carrying a child.

“Is it mine?” I whispered.

Her expression hardened.

“You really have to ask?”

Before I could answer, the courthouse clerk opened the doors.

“Mr. Park. Mrs. Park. The judge is ready.”

Seo-ah started walking.

I grabbed her wrist.

She looked down at my hand.

I immediately let go.

“Please,” I said. “Just tell me.”

She slowly placed both hands over her stomach.

Then she looked directly into my eyes.

“Yes, Ji-hoon.”

My legs almost gave out.

“The baby is yours.”

Inside the courtroom, everything became worse.

My lawyer began reviewing the divorce settlement, including the clause stating that our marriage had produced no children.

The judge looked at Seo-ah.

Then at me.

Then at her stomach.

“Mr. Park,” he asked, “are you aware that your wife is carrying your child?”

“No,” I answered.

Seo-ah closed her eyes.

That single word seemed to hurt her more than I expected.

The hearing was suspended.

Outside, I followed her into the hallway.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

For the first time, Seo-ah lost her calm.

“Why would I?”

“Because I’m the father!”

She laughed once.

A quiet, bitter sound.

“Seven months ago, when I called you because I needed to tell you something important, what did you say?”

I froze.

I remembered.

I had been entering a meeting with the Aurora Entertainment board.

I told her I had no time.

I told her anything related to the divorce could go through our lawyers.

“You hung up,” she continued. “And I decided I would never chase you again.”

“Seo-ah…”

“I didn’t want my child to become another negotiation in your life.”

That was when my phone began ringing.

My secretary.

I ignored it.

Then the board chairman called.

I ignored him too.

For once, Aurora Entertainment could collapse without me.

Because my wife was walking away.

Carrying my child.

And I suddenly realized something terrifying.

I had spent seven months becoming the father of a baby I didn't even know existed.

“Seo-ah, wait.”

She stopped.

I looked at her.

“I don’t know what happens to our marriage.”

Her face remained cold.

“But I want to know my child.”

She stared at me for several seconds.

Then she reached into her bag.

I expected her to give me an ultrasound photograph.

Instead, she handed me a thick envelope.

“Before you decide you want to be a father,” she said quietly, “you should probably learn why I stopped trying to save our marriage.”

I opened the envelope.

Inside was a photograph.

Taken inside Aurora Entertainment.

It showed my mother.

Chairwoman Park Hye-rin.

Standing beside my younger brother.

And on the table between them was a medical file with my wife’s name on it.

I looked up at Seo-ah.

“What is this?”

Her eyes filled with tears.

“You should ask your family why they knew I was pregnant before you did.”

My blood ran cold.

Because suddenly, I understood.

Seo-ah hadn’t simply hidden our child from me.

Someone had been hiding something from both of us.

And whoever it was had been inside my own family.

The contraction hit so violently that I nearly dropped my phone.

But the pain in my body was nothing compared to my husband’s voice.

“Handle it yourself, Ha-yoon. Stop acting like the world revolves around you.”

Then Cha Min-seok hung up.

I stood alone outside the VIP maternity ward of Seoul’s most prestigious hospital, thirty-eight weeks pregnant, my water already broken. My contractions were coming less than five minutes apart.

And my husband—the famous CEO of Minseok Entertainment and heir to one of Korea’s most powerful chaebol families—had chosen his mother’s sixtieth birthday celebration over the birth of our first child.

A nurse hurried toward me with a wheelchair.

“Ma’am, is your husband coming?”

For several seconds, I couldn’t answer.

Min-seok had spent months telling reporters how excited he was to become a father. He had promised me he would hold my hand during labor. He had promised he would be the first person our son saw.

Finally, I whispered, “No. Not my husband.”

I called him one last time.

Music was playing in the background when he answered. I could hear laughter, champagne glasses, and the voices of famous K-pop idols and actors attending his mother’s private birthday party.

“Min-seok, please,” I said. “My water broke.”

Before he answered, his mother’s voice cut through the call.

“Tell her women have been giving birth for thousands of years.”

Several people laughed.

My heart went cold.

Min-seok sighed.

“See? My mother understands. Take a taxi if you’re that worried.”

Something inside me finally broke.

“All right,” I whispered.

Then I ended the call.

And called the one person I had spent nearly two years avoiding.

“Dad.”

The moment he heard my breathing, he asked only one question.

“Which hospital?”

Twenty-five minutes later, my father walked into the maternity ward wearing a simple dark coat.

To everyone around him, he looked like an ordinary older man.

But his face was instantly recognizable to anyone who followed Korean business news.

Chairman Lee Dong-wook.

Founder of the massive Lee Financial Group.

One of the wealthiest and most feared men in South Korea.

And Min-seok had absolutely no idea that his quiet, ordinary wife was Chairman Lee’s only daughter.

I had hidden my family because I wanted one relationship in my life that wasn’t built around money, status, or the Lee name.

I wanted Min-seok to love me.

Not my inheritance.

Not my father.

Not the billions attached to my family.

After fifteen hours of labor, my son was born.

When the nurse placed him in my arms, my father stood beside me and silently wiped tears from his eyes.

“He’s perfect,” Dad whispered.

I looked at my phone.

Nothing from Min-seok.

Hours later, a message finally arrived.

Mom loved the watch I bought her. I’ll be home Monday. Don’t start another argument.

He didn’t ask whether I was alive.

He didn’t ask whether our baby had been born.

So I saved every message.

Every call.

Every piece of evidence.

Because before becoming Min-seok’s wife, I had built a career investigating corporate fraud.

And while my husband was celebrating with idols, actresses, and his mother, I began investigating something else.

My own marriage.

On Monday morning, Min-seok finally came home.

He walked into our Seoul penthouse carrying his weekend bag and a box of leftover birthday cake.

“Ha-yoon?” he called. “We need to talk like adults.”

Then he looked toward the living room.

My father was sitting there.

Holding a newborn baby.

Min-seok’s entire face turned white.

The cake slipped from his hand.

“Whose baby is that?”

I slowly stepped into the room.

“Our son.”

And then Chairman Lee Dong-wook looked directly at the man who had abandoned his daughter in labor.

“Sit down,” my father said.

Min-seok had no idea that abandoning his wife was about to become the smallest mistake he had ever made.

When my husband walked into my first ultrasound appointment with his mistress beside him and divorce papers in his hand, I knew he had not come to see our baby.

Kang Ji-hoon wanted the doctor to prove I had cheated.

And his famous actress mistress, Yoon Na-ri, stood beside my examination bed holding out a silver pen, smiling as though my entire life already belonged to her.

Then my husband looked at the doctor and said:

“Tell me exactly how far along she is.”

Only two weeks earlier, I had believed my pregnancy was the happiest surprise of my life.

After eight years of marriage, I thought Ji-hoon would hold me and celebrate.

Instead, when I showed him the positive test, his face went cold.

“That baby cannot be mine.”

I stared at him.

Then he told me something he had hidden from me.

Two months earlier, without telling his wife, Ji-hoon had secretly undergone a vasectomy.

He had already decided he never wanted children with me.

I reminded him that the procedure required follow-up testing.

I asked whether he had ever completed it.

He refused to answer.

Instead, he called me a liar.

“You must have been sleeping with someone else.”

Then his phone lit up.

A message from Na-ri.

She wasn't a stranger.

She was one of Korea's most famous actresses—and Ji-hoon's affair had been happening for six months.

She had known about the procedure.

She had helped him arrange it.

That was when I understood something far worse.

My pregnancy hadn't destroyed our marriage.

Ji-hoon had already been planning a new life without me.

Within twenty-four hours, he moved into a luxury penthouse with Na-ri.

Then he began moving money from our accounts.

And while living openly with another woman, he contacted partners at my law firm and suggested there was a “moral scandal” involving me.

Suddenly, I was the cheating wife.

He was the victim.

Na-ri even appeared at a luxury restaurant wearing my cream-colored jacket.

Ji-hoon reposted the photographs with one sentence:

“Sometimes the truth finally sets you free.”

But I knew the truth.

I knew whose child I was carrying.

The morning of my ultrasound, I dressed carefully.

Not for Ji-hoon.

For myself.

But when I arrived at the VIP clinic in Gangnam, Ji-hoon was waiting.

Na-ri stood beside him.

The black folder in his hand contained divorce papers and an agreement surrendering my claim to our Hannam-dong house.

“Sign,” he said.

“No.”

Na-ri placed the silver pen on my examination table.

“Don't make this uglier than it needs to be.”

I looked at her.

“You're standing beside a pregnant woman while sleeping with her husband. I don't think you should lecture me about ugly.”

Minutes later, Dr. Han began the ultrasound.

A tiny shape appeared.

Then—

A heartbeat.

Strong.

Rapid.

Tears filled my eyes.

“Hello, my love,” I whispered.

For a few seconds, nothing else mattered.

Then Dr. Han stopped.

She checked the measurements.

Once.

Then again.

Ji-hoon smiled.

“Exactly how far along?”

Dr. Han slowly turned toward him.

“Before your wife signs anything,” she said, “you need to look carefully at this monitor.”

Ji-hoon stepped closer.

He was smiling.

He believed he had finally won.

Then Dr. Han gave the gestational age.

Ji-hoon's smile disappeared.

Na-ri's hand tightened around the silver pen.

Because according to the ultrasound...

My baby had been conceived before Ji-hoon's vasectomy.

And the next question Dr. Han asked made him go completely pale.

“Mr. Kang... why did you tell everyone your procedure was two months ago?”

Ji-hoon stopped breathing.

Because the date in his own medical file said something very different.

08/31/2026

Behind a locked mahogany door, the most feared man in Seoul woke up with a gun in his hand.

And found me asleep on his chest.

Men had lost their careers for speaking to Kang Tae-hyun the wrong way.

A-list actors bowed when he entered a room.

K-pop idols thanked him publicly for opportunities they had never asked for.

As vice chairman of Kangseong Entertainment Group, Tae-hyun controlled film studios, television networks, luxury hotels, and one of Korea's most powerful entertainment empires.

Yet somehow...

I had spent the night using him as a pillow.

And when he realized who I was, everything changed.

At 3:14 that morning, I was still scrubbing marble floors inside the Kang family's Hannam-dong mansion.

My shift had officially ended four hours earlier.

But Chairman Kang's housekeeper had pointed toward the corridor and said, “You missed a spot.”

So I stayed.

My hands were cracked from cleaning chemicals.

My back burned.

I was twenty-three years old, but desperation had already taught me how quickly a person could grow tired.

My older brother, Choi Min-jae, had a gambling addiction.

And the money he owed belonged to Kang Tae-hyun.

For three months, I had been paying off that debt by cleaning the mansion.

Bathrooms.

Silverware.

Wine glasses.

Floors.

I accepted every humiliation because Min-jae had disappeared, leaving his debt behind.

And around Kang Tae-hyun...

obedience was survival.

Then the front doors suddenly opened.

Three black cars rushed into the estate.

Men poured into the foyer.

Two security guards were carrying Kang Tae-hyun between them.

Blood covered the shoulder of his charcoal suit.

“Private study,” his chief of security ordered.

“No hospital,” Tae-hyun growled.

They disappeared into the west wing.

Minutes later, the security chief came back.

“Clean the study.”

I froze.

“No one enters Chairman Kang's private study.”

“Tonight, you do.”

Inside, the lights were low.

Kang Tae-hyun lay unconscious on a leather sofa.

Blood stained his white shirt.

A shattered whiskey glass covered the Persian carpet.

I knelt down.

Pick up the glass.

Clean the blood.

Wring the cloth.

Repeat.

But exhaustion slowly turned everything mechanical.

Then suddenly...

Tae-hyun gasped.

His body twisted violently.

“No.”

The word escaped him like a warning.

Sweat covered his forehead.

His hands clenched.

He was trapped in a nightmare.

I should have walked away.

Instead, when his injured shoulder slipped toward the edge of the sofa, instinct took over.

I moved closer.

Then his eyes opened.

Before I could step back, his hand locked around my wrist.

I gasped.

He pulled me forward.

My knees slipped against the carpet.

And I fell directly across his chest.

I tried to move.

But his arm wrapped around my waist.

“Stay.”

His voice was barely conscious.

I froze.

Then something changed.

His breathing slowed.

His body relaxed.

The nightmare disappeared.

I told myself I would wait five minutes.

Then leave.

But after eighteen hours awake...

my eyes closed.

Just for one second.

That was the last thing I remembered.

When Kang Tae-hyun woke hours later, I didn't notice.

I didn't see his hand reach automatically toward the pistol hidden beneath the sofa.

I didn't know he raised it.

Or that he nearly pressed it against my back.

Until he recognized the smell of cleaning chemicals.

Cheap vanilla soap.

And the worn fabric of a maid's uniform.

He looked down.

His arm was still around my waist.

And the woman sleeping peacefully against his chest...

was Choi Seo-ah.

The maid whose brother owed him money.

The same woman he had ordered his staff to keep away from him.

Because three years earlier...

he had seen her face somewhere he had spent years trying to forget.

And before Kang Tae-hyun could wake me—

Someone began pounding violently on the locked study door.

“Vice Chairman!”

His security chief shouted.

“The police are here.”

Tae-hyun slowly sat up.

Then looked down at me.

His face changed.

Because on the floor beside my cleaning bag...

lay a photograph that should never have been inside the Kang mansion.

A photograph of my brother.

Standing beside Kang Tae-hyun's dead father.

“Is there a military pilot on board?”

The captain's voice suddenly echoed through the cabin as nearly three hundred passengers sat frozen on a midnight flight above the East China Sea.

Everyone began looking around.

Some searched for a decorated general.

Others expected an older man in a military uniform.

No one looked at me.

I was sitting quietly in seat 8A, wearing a gray sweater and a baseball cap, trying to look like someone no one would remember.

That was intentional.

My name is Kang Ha-yoon.

I was thirty-eight years old.

A single mother.

And ten years earlier, I had been one of the Republic of Korea Air Force's most highly trained fighter pilots.

But nobody on that aircraft knew it.

Not even the famous K-pop idol sitting three rows behind me.

Not even the award-winning actress sleeping across the aisle.

Two hours earlier, I had boarded the flight from Seoul to Singapore with only one goal.

To disappear for a few days.

I had spent years hiding from cameras, reporters, and questions about a military mission I refused to discuss.

The official record said I had retired after an accident.

The truth was more complicated.

Someone had died.

A pilot under my command.

And for ten years, I had believed it was my fault.

Then the aircraft suddenly shuddered.

Hard.

A woman screamed.

A baby began crying.

The captain's voice returned.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing a technical emergency. If anyone aboard has military flight experience, please identify yourself immediately.”

Nobody moved.

A flight attendant rushed down the aisle.

Then she stopped beside me.

“Ma'am, do you know anyone with military flight experience?”

I looked out the window.

Black ocean.

Thousands of meters below us.

Then I slowly unbuckled my seat belt.

“I do.”

She blinked.

“You?”

“I used to fly fighter aircraft.”

The passengers around me stared.

A famous actor sitting nearby lowered his phone.

The K-pop idol turned around.

“You're a pilot?”

“I was.”

The flight attendant grabbed my hand.

“Please come with me.”

Inside the cockpit, both commercial pilots were still conscious.

That immediately confused me.

“If you can fly the aircraft,” I said, “why am I here?”

The captain pointed toward the darkness outside.

A distant light was flying beside us.

Fast.

Silent.

Too close.

My stomach tightened.

“A military fighter?”

“We lost normal radio contact,” the captain said.

“Then that aircraft appeared.”

The first officer handed me a headset.

“We're receiving a coded transmission.”

I put it on.

Static.

Three short tones.

Two long.

Three short again.

My entire body went cold.

It wasn't random interference.

It was a military authentication sequence.

One I had not heard since my final mission.

Then a voice broke through the static.

“Kestrel Two.”

My hand stopped moving.

The captain looked at me.

“Do you know what that means?”

I couldn't breathe.

Kestrel Two had been my call sign.

No civilian should have known it.

No one aboard this aircraft should have known it.

Then the voice spoke again.

And said something only six people in Korea had ever known.

Five of them were supposed to be dead.

My hands began shaking.

“Kang Ha-yoon,” the voice whispered.

I slowly removed the headset.

“Captain.”

His face turned pale.

“What is happening?”

I looked toward the fighter aircraft outside.

Ten years earlier, during a classified mission, my closest wingman had disappeared over the Yellow Sea.

I had spent a decade believing he died because I made the wrong decision.

Now...

His voice was coming through our radio.

And he had just repeated the final warning he gave me before his aircraft vanished.

“Ha-yoon...”

“Don't trust the man sitting beside you.”

My heart stopped.

I slowly turned.

The captain was sitting beside me.

But before I could speak...

The cockpit door suddenly locked.

The captain reached toward the radio.

And the voice in my headset screamed:

“HE'S THE ONE WHO BETRAYED US.”

For three days, my fifteen-year-old daughter had been vomiting blood.

Her chaebol father said she was only pretending because she wanted attention.

Then, inside a VIP hospital in Seoul, she screamed one sentence that made me realize why she had been terrified of him all along.

“Mom... he knows why I can't tell the doctor.”

At 3:18 a.m., I stood outside my daughter's bathroom while she collapsed beside the sink.

“Ji-won?”

No answer.

I pushed the door open.

My daughter, Kang Ji-won, was fifteen years old.

She was the daughter of one of Korea's most powerful entertainment families.

Her father, Chairman Kang Tae-sung, controlled Kangseong Entertainment, an empire representing top K-pop idols, actors, television networks, and luxury brands.

And her mother was me.

Yoon Seo-yeon.

A former actress whose face had once appeared on billboards across Seoul.

But none of that mattered when I saw my daughter lying on the bathroom floor.

Her face was gray.

Her lips were dry.

And there was blood in the sink.

I turned toward the doorway.

“Call the hospital.”

My husband didn't move.

Kang Tae-sung stood there in his silk robe, irritated.

“For what?”

I stared at him.

“She has been sick for three days.”

“She has been complaining for three days.”

“She has a fever.”

“She always gets dramatic before exams.”

My daughter heard him.

Her eyes immediately filled with fear.

“Mom,” she whispered.

I knelt beside her.

“What is it?”

Her fingers closed desperately around my wrist.

“Don't tell Dad.”

My heart stopped.

“Ji-won, why?”

She looked toward the doorway.

Tae-sung's face changed.

Not with concern.

With warning.

Ji-won immediately lowered her eyes.

“I... I just don't want him angry.”

Something inside me broke.

For years, I had watched my daughter become smaller whenever her father entered a room.

At family dinners, she barely spoke.

At award ceremonies, she smiled perfectly for photographers, then cried in the car afterward.

Tae-sung called it discipline.

I had started to wonder whether it was fear.

An hour later, Ji-won collapsed again.

This time, I didn't ask permission.

I carried her through the back entrance and drove toward a private VIP hospital in Gangnam.

My phone began ringing.

Tae-sung.

Once.

Five times.

Twenty times.

Then a message appeared.

BRING HER HOME.

I ignored it.

At the hospital, doctors rushed Ji-won behind the emergency doors.

Thirty minutes later, a physician approached me.

His face was serious.

“Mrs. Kang, your daughter needs emergency surgery.”

My legs nearly gave way.

“What happened?”

“She has a severe infection.”

I covered my mouth.

“Could she have died?”

The doctor looked directly at me.

“If you had waited until morning, possibly.”

Then the doors behind us exploded open.

Kang Tae-sung had arrived.

He wasn't alone.

Two security guards followed him.

And beside him was his mistress, famous actress Han Yu-ra.

My daughter saw them.

Then she started screaming.

“NO!”

Doctors rushed toward her bed.

Ji-won grabbed my arm with both hands.

“Mom!”

“I'm here!”

Her eyes turned toward her father.

And through her tears, she screamed:

“He knows why it hurts!”

The entire emergency room went silent.

Tae-sung stopped walking.

I looked at him.

“What does she mean?”

For the first time in fifteen years...

My husband looked afraid.

And then my daughter whispered something that made my blood turn cold.

“Mom... don't let him take my phone.”

I reached beneath her pillow.

There was a phone hidden there.

The screen contained one unopened message.

Sent from an unknown number.

IF YOU TELL YOUR MOTHER WHAT YOU SAW IN YOUR FATHER'S PRIVATE STUDIO, YOUR MOTHER'S CAREER WILL BE DESTROYED NEXT.

I slowly looked up.

Tae-sung was staring directly at the phone.

And I suddenly understood.

My daughter's illness...

Was only the beginning.

The night before my honeymoon, my husband promised me forever.

Three days later, I heard him planning my funeral.

I was supposed to be the happiest woman in Korea.

Instead, I was lying motionless behind a staircase on a private yacht in the East Sea, listening to the man I had married discuss exactly how he intended to murder me.

My name is Han Seo-yeon.

I was the only daughter of Chairman Han Tae-joon, founder of Haneul Group, one of Seoul's most powerful chaebol empires.

I had spent my entire life surrounded by people who wanted something from me.

So when Kang Ji-hoon, a famous actor and the heir to Mirae Entertainment, told me he loved me for myself, I believed him.

That was my mistake.

Our honeymoon yacht belonged to my father.

The wedding had been watched by half of Seoul.

Luxury hotels.

Celebrity guests.

Chaebol families.

Cameras everywhere.

Everyone called us Korea's perfect couple.

But three days into our honeymoon, I could barely stand.

Every night, Ji-hoon gave me two white pills.

“It's just motion sickness,” he'd whispered.

Then he would kiss my forehead and tell me to sleep.

That afternoon, something felt wrong.

My vision blurred.

My hands trembled.

I pretended to sleep until Ji-hoon left the suite.

Then I forced myself out of bed.

I needed medicine.

I made it halfway down the staircase before my legs collapsed.

I grabbed the brass railing and crouched behind the wall.

Then I heard voices from the lower deck.

My husband's voice.

“Is the dosage enough?”

My blood froze.

Another voice answered.

His mother, Chairwoman Yoon Mi-sook.

“She won't last another night if you keep increasing it.”

I stopped breathing.

Ji-hoon laughed softly.

“Good. Then tonight we finish it.”

A glass clinked.

His father, Kang Dong-chul, spoke next.

“The storm reaches the eastern waters around midnight.”

“Exactly,” Ji-hoon replied.

“She'll be too weak to resist.”

I pressed one hand over my mouth.

My husband continued.

“I'll tell everyone she's feeling sick. I'll take her onto the rear deck for fresh air.”

His mother's voice became colder.

“And then?”

A pause.

“Then I push her overboard.”

My entire body went numb.

“She'll disappear before anyone realizes what happened.”

His father chuckled.

“And the inheritance?”

“Three hundred billion won.”

Ji-hoon sounded almost cheerful.

“Her father put the majority of Han Seo-yeon's assets into a protected inheritance trust. Once she's legally declared dead, control transfers to her husband.”

I felt tears slide down my face.

Then his mother asked the question that made my stomach turn.

“What about Chairman Han?”

Ji-hoon laughed.

“He's leaving Seoul tomorrow for Jeju.”

A pause.

“His helicopter has already been arranged.”

My heart stopped.

They weren't only planning to kill me.

They were planning to destroy my entire family.

Then I heard another voice.

A voice I recognized immediately.

My father's chief secretary.

“Everything is prepared.”

I almost screamed.

Someone inside my father's organization was helping them.

Ji-hoon raised his glass.

“To the Han family.”

Everyone laughed.

I slowly backed away from the staircase.

My legs were shaking.

My phone was inside my suite.

The crew was downstairs.

Security had been instructed by Ji-hoon's family not to disturb us.

I had hours before midnight.

And I had just discovered that the man sleeping beside me wasn't my husband.

He was my executioner.

But as I reached for the door to my suite, my phone suddenly vibrated.

One message appeared.

UNKNOWN NUMBER:

“Don't call the police.”

A second message arrived.

“There is a traitor among your father's security team.”

Then the final message appeared.

“If you want to survive tonight, trust the man standing outside your door.”

I slowly looked up.

Someone was standing in the corridor.

A tall man in a black security uniform.

He removed his cap.

And my heart nearly stopped.

Because I knew him.

Lee Do-hyun.

Korea's most famous action actor.

My husband's biggest rival.

And the man Ji-hoon had sworn was never allowed anywhere near this yacht.

Do-hyun looked at me and whispered:

“Seo-yeon, you have exactly six hours before your husband tries to kill you.”
