†Lee Heeseung "

My father. And his father Lee Heeseung. "I've explained everything," my father said firmly. "This marriage will unite our companies." I stared at the floor, trying to hold back the emotions that were about to overflow. "Dad…" my voice was soft. "I don't want to get married like this." The room became silent. Heeseung's father looked at me with a sharp gaze. "This isn't about your wishes. This is about the future of the family business." My heart feels like it's being squeezed. I finally lifted my head and looked at the man who had been silent across the room. Heeseung. He stood by the window in a neat black suit, his face handsome yet cold. His gaze was blank, as if none of this had anything to do with him. I know one thing about him. He is married. His wife's name is Sooha. Everyone in business knows they love each other. But now… he is going to marry me. “Say something, Heeseung,” his father said. Heeseung finally walked over. His steps were calm, but a cold aura enveloped him. He stopped in front of me. His eyes looked straight at me. "If you don't want to marry me," he said flatly, "just say so now." My heart is shaking. I want to say no. Really want to. But I know what will happen if I refuse. My father's company is on the verge of crisis. Without the cooperation of the Heeseung family… everything could fall apart. I bit my lip softly. Then said in an almost inaudible voice. "...I agree." My father breathed a sigh of relief. Heeseung's father smiled with satisfaction. But Heeseung just stared at me for a few seconds… expressionless. "I will not treat you as my wife," he said suddenly, his voice low and cold. "I already have someone I love." My chest feels tight. I lowered my head, trying to hold back the tears. "I know," I replied softly. "Don't worry." I forced a small smile. "This marriage… is just business." A few weeks later, we were officially married. A big, lavish wedding, full of important guests.
