Seo Hana didn't know how long she stayed locked in that glass palace.Days blurred into nights, nights into nightmares.The man—the monster—never spoke much.He didn't have to.His silence screamed louder than any words.
But fate, that cruel mistress, had other plans.
It happened on a rainy night.She was scrubbing the floor of his office when a drawer accidentally popped open.Inside…A letter.Old.Faded.Her name written in her mother's delicate handwriting.
Her breath caught.Her hands shook as she unfolded the paper.
"My sweet Hana, if you're reading this, it means I failed to protect you. I'm sorry. I asked my oldest friend, Madam Kang, to look after you if anything ever happened. She promised me she would treat you like her own daughter..."
Madam Kang.The name hit Hana like a lightning bolt.Her mother's best friend.The woman who ruled the Kang Conglomerate like a queen.
Hana's tears splashed onto the paper.There was still someone out there who might help her.If she could get to Madam Kang… maybe, just maybe, she could escape this hell.
But escape wouldn't be easy.The man—her captor—watched her like a hawk.
Still, the seed had been planted.Hope.Small.Fragile.But enough to keep her breathing.
Enough to fight.
