The night was restless. Even though I slept beside Joonseo, my heart still raced as if something dark was lurking behind the shadows of our mansion. His arm was wrapped protectively around me, his warmth pressing into my back, but my mind wouldn't calm down. Every time I closed my eyes, I remembered the mysterious documents I had seen on his desk—the ones with encrypted codes and lists of names I didn't recognize.
I knew Joonseo wasn't just any CEO. He was more dangerous than he let me see. And the more I became part of his life, the deeper I was being pulled into his world.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the tall windows of our bedroom. I shifted slightly, blinking against the brightness. Joonseo stirred, his eyes slowly opening, sharp even when barely awake.
"Minji," he murmured, his voice rough from sleep. "You didn't sleep well."
I bit my lip. "I… I had dreams. About yesterday. About the company."
His eyes darkened immediately. "Dreams, or worries?"
