For my brother's medical bills and my father's gambling debts, I borrowed a lot of money from a man.
He let me stay in his villa, repaying the debt night after night.
I went with the determination to die, but found myself deeply entangled in his tenderness.
However, I knew this wasn't love, and to prevent myself from becoming too involved.
The day I gathered enough for my brother's medical expenses, I immediately bid him farewell.
He did not refuse, simply allowing me to leave.
But years later, when I returned to a normal life and was fully focused on my work,
he appeared in front of me again, looking into my shocked eyes, he said,
"This time, don't think about escaping again."


The CEO and his Secret Lover

"Because that photo, my grandpa saw it, and he told me to come home and explain the situation. I said you were my girlfriend, and everyone in the family was very happy... It's just, you know, being a daughter-in-law in our kind of family is very tough, and sometimes even dangerous..." Ethan Lowder held me and slowly explained with his magnetic voice.


"Grandpa asked me to protect you, so he told me to release a smoke bomb... I originally planned to handle everything and then come home to explain it to you, but I didn't expect you to run away."


After he finished speaking, I hugged him tightly in return.


So, before I figured out my own feelings, he was already considering my well-being.


"Still calling me Mr. Lowder?" Ethan Lowder showed a slightly displeased expression.


"...Ethan, I'm sorry, I was being petty and didn't listen to you." I buried my face in his neck, inhaling the familiar scent.
