The Bride

YOUR MARRIAGE IS YOUR best cover-up story.

And your wife, your strongest witness.

But only if you marry the right woman.

The wise words of Ryu's mentor played in his mind as he studied the profile reports he had ordered from the matchmaking agency.

Hmm.

Only one girl caught his eye: twenty-year-old college student Summerine Chan, and it had everything to do with what she was not.

Zero job experience.

No particular achievement in academics or sports.

Parents frequently disparage their own daughter for not having a backbone.

Even better, his investigator managed to unearth evidence of George Chan's debts, which Ryu could then use as leverage to prevent his future in-laws from interfering in his marriage.

The life he wished to maintain required the utmost secrecy, which could only be provided by the illusion of a perfect marriage.

Pretending to be a fairytale prince was something he was used to. But Ryu also knew that such a role could only go so far.

Sooner or later, people would start wondering and asking questions...unless of course, he chose to pre-empt this by giving everyone something new to talk about. And was there anything more entertaining than news of a billionaire falling in love with a girl society least expected to catch his attention?

Ryu reached for the profile report he had been studying for the last hour.

Summerine.

Her name matched her delicate features, but why did he have a feeling that she was not at all like everyone assumed her to be?
