Epilogue 9   The outdoor terrace connected to the first-floor hall was half-filled with people leisurely having dinner. Since it was mid-September, most were island residents rather than tourists, and Minhee recognized a couple of familiar faces. She energetically pushed open the door. As a clear bell rang, Sangjin shouted from behind the sushi counter…

Epilogue 8   “I once had a strange dream. It was not long after you started working as a live-in tutor…” “What kind of dream was it?” Minhee showed her curiosity, listening intently to Taejun. “The all-in-one trainer in the gym.” Minhee nodded. “You were tied up inside it.

Epilogue 7   “I’m sorry, but I can’t do this anymore!” “I’ll finish soon, I can’t hold on much longer either.” Taejun’s hand moved down to her lower abdomen, finding her cl*toris and rubbing it between his fingers.

Epilogue 4   Minhee propped herself up on his chest with her elbow and lifted her face completely to glare at him. Taejun chuckled and pulled her into a tight embrace. “Ha…” Burying his nose in the nape of her neck, Taejun inhaled her sweet scent deeply and exhaled a long breath. His taut muscles…

Epilogue 3   He carefully picked up the envelope. Written in round, playful handwriting on the ribbon was “Please open.” Following the instruction, he untied the ribbon and opened the envelope.  Inside, he found a sheet of paper, but instead of words, there was a rather complex cryptogram drawn on it. Taejun chuckled at the…

Epilogue 2   As Luca frantically searched for the florist’s phone number in his phonebook, he recalled a conversation he had with Anton two months ago.   [Silent Monster.]   That’s what Anton had called the boss. It was the boss’s nickname during his active duty with the Green Berets.  Thinking about the evening when…

Epilogue 1   Three days ago, early in the morning. The man’s quiet footsteps, dressed in a suit, stopped beside the bed. The woman lying on the enormous bed, made to his size, looked as small as a child. Her clear face, in a deep sleep with barely audible breathing, was so lovely and endearing…

**Chapter 44. The Lady Who Never Returned** There was no way these noble ladies would ever get the chance to see the exiled prince.
