Between Thrill and Temptation

“We’re about to become husband and wife. You can’t handle even this much?” Taejun grabbed Sua by the arm and pulled her into the hotel elevator with a cold expression. Then, inch by inch, he slowly closed the distance between them— close enough for their breaths to mix in a dizzying way. Han Sua wanted to call off the engagement, but she couldn’t even bring herself to ask for it. That’s when Chairman Ji, Taejun’s father, made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. “The period is three months. My conditions are simple: Sua will report to Taejun’s office for work, and Taejun will return home with her at the end of the day. After three months, if you still wish to break off the engagement, I’ll allow it. And of course, the investment and supply contracts will remain as they are.” And so begins their three-month contract cohabitation— all for the sake of ending the engagement. But the man who was once cold and emotionless as ice… begins to change little by little. “Stop coming closer like that.” “Don’t say things like that with those eyes.” “What kind of eyes?” “Eyes that look like they want to waver.” Taejun’s low voice, striking her right where it hurt, left Sua breathless.
