MATRYO

Power. Pleasure. Both can drive one’s humanity to its extremes. So when Jin Hyeon-jin, president of the prestigious Jinhwa Company, is suddenly found dead, his son Sihyeon can’t help but to question everyone around him. Most suspicious of all is Kang Seung-tae, a recent external hire who is shrouded in mystery; yet this cold and calculating figure may be Sihyeon’s only hope for discovering what really happened on that fateful night. And so, he proposes a deal…he will help Seung-tae become the successor to Jinhwa if the latter is able to get to the bottom of his father’s fateful demise. But words alone will not be enough to convince the enigmatic-yet-carnal Kang, who desires more: “You. Your life. Your everything. That is what you bring to the table.”

My husband is a chaebol heir—third-generation of the Daehyun Group, a dominant Alpha. And he’s blind.” We’re bound by a relationship built on terms—part sponsor, part partners—but our marriage comes with a set of unusual rules. Every night, he performs a physical check on me to confirm I’m not cheating, yet outside of my heat cycle, we are forbidden from having sex. Even though pregnancy is one of the conditions we agreed upon. To pay off the debt I inherited thanks to my older brother, I have no choice but to speed up this slow-moving arrangement. …Even if it means accepting help from my brother-in-law.
