Jeon, a powerful and ruthless billionaire mafia boss, thrives in a world where emotions are a weakness and every relationship is a transaction. When business complications arise, he makes a calculated move to marry his secretary, Hyunjin, in a cold, contractual arrangement. Hyunjin, quiet but resilient, finds himself thrust into a world of danger and deception, agreeing to the marriage out of necessity, not affection. As they navigate their complicated agreement, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Both men guard their hearts, but in the unpredictable world of crime and power, true feelings start to surface. What starts as a marriage of convenience slowly turns into something far more complex, leaving Jeon and Hyunjin questioning whether they can survive this world-and each other-without falling in love. Their journey will be filled with tension, mystery, and unexpected passion, where trust becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.

Walls of hate Chapter 1 A deal with the devil

The ticking of the clock in Jeon's luxurious office echoed through the spacious room, filling the silence between him and Hyunjin. The young secretary sat across from his boss, his posture straight and his hands folded tightly in his lap. The tension in the air was palpable, as if both of them understood the weight of the conversation that was about to unfold.

Jeon leaned back in his leather chair, eyes as cold and unreadable as ever. His reputation as a ruthless billionaire mafia boss preceded him, and Hyunjin had witnessed firsthand how effortlessly Jeon destroyed anyone who dared oppose him. Despite the power radiating off the man before him, Hyunjin kept his gaze steady, his heart pounding against his ribs.

"I won't repeat myself, Hyunjin," Jeon said, his voice low but firm. "The merger with the Japanese syndicate depends on my marital status. They want to know that I'm a stable family man-someone they can trust in business."

Hyunjin swallowed hard, his mind racing. He had been Jeon's secretary for two years, never once imagining that his duties would extend beyond office work. But now Jeon was asking him to become more than a secretary. He was asking him to be his husband.

"It's only for show," Jeon continued, sensing Hyunjin's hesitation. "A contract marriage, nothing more. You get paid handsomely, and in return, you play the role of my loving spouse. After a year, we'll dissolve the arrangement, and you'll be free to go back to your life."

Hyunjin clenched his fists under the table, his thoughts battling between logic and fear. A contract marriage? It sounded absurd. Ridiculous, even. But this was Jeon-there was nothing the man did that wasn't calculated. There had to be a deeper reason behind this.

"And if I refuse?" Hyunjin asked quietly, knowing full well that defying Jeon wasn't an option.

Jeon's eyes darkened, his expression hardening. "That wouldn't be wise, Hyunjin."

Hyunjin's stomach twisted. He knew what refusal meant. It meant losing his job, his protection, and possibly more. But agreeing to this marriage meant stepping into a life he wasn't prepared for-one filled with lies, deception, and danger. He had seen what Jeon was capable of. Being tied to him in any way, even if it was just on paper, was a risk.

Jeon stood, walking around the desk until he stood before Hyunjin, towering over him. "I don't expect you to love me. This is purely a business transaction. But I do expect loyalty. You'll stand by my side, no questions asked."

Hyunjin hesitated, then slowly nodded, his voice barely above a whisper. "Fine. I'll do it."

Jeon's lips curved into a smirk, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "Good choice."

As Jeon turned back to his desk, Hyunjin couldn't shake the feeling that he had just made a deal with the devil.

Little did he know, this was only the beginning. The contract might say one year, but neither of them could predict how long it would take for their hearts to break through the carefully constructed walls they both lived behind.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
