Summary

“Can you kill me?”
“Well, I’m quite expensive.”

Ten years after my father’s murder, his body returned.
Along with a beautiful and dangerous man.

A contract killer who would kill for money.
He was a beast who knew no guilt, a villain who ruined other people’s lives.
That’s why I wanted him.
I wanted a man

who would kill without pity. “I don’t have a hobby of killing people who desperately want to die.”
“Then what kind of people do you kill?”
“People who beg for their lives.”
“That’s cruel…”
“That’s what I do. Acting like I’ll grant your wishes and then ruin your life.”

But what if your wish ruins your life?
Then, isn’t that what you’re ultimately granting?

“Hang up new curtains, plant some flowers. Make it look nice in the spring. Do you think you’ll want to live then?”

I couldn’t understand a man who kept me alive even though I asked him to kill me.
Why did he feed me, clothe me, and show me affection?
Why did he make me want to live?

The winter he was in was warmer than spring.
The hell he was in was brighter than heaven.
The man everyone called a villain was my savior.

***

The illusion that his side was heaven was shattered.
The man who acted as if he would grant my wishes but then ruined my life, he proved himself right.
His arms hugged the woman he had reclaimed like shackles closing their jaws.

“I hate you.”
“Say it again.”
“I hate you.”
“Again.”
“…”

I couldn’t understand. The attempt to understand kept me staring at him.
When his gaze lingered on me, the corners of his mouth lifted.

“What should I do? Now it sounds like I love you.”

I finally understood his name.
The God I loved and the Devil I hated, they were one.

“If you kill someone and go to hell, it should be me.”

A contract killer. He was asked to kill a prosecutor’s daughter, but he is concerned about the woman who has been waiting alone for her father who has not returned.

He has decided that he will turn even hell into heaven for that woman.

A perfect paradise where they cannot escape each other.

 

* Female protagonist: Sierra Knightley, the only daughter of a federal prosecutor murdered by the Mafia. After the death of her father, her only family, she spent ten years lonely and helpless, abused by the pastor who took her inheritance. All she wanted was death. So she begged the hitman who came to kill her.

But the ruthless man didn’t kill her; instead, he treated her with kindness. She was drawn to him, even though she had a premonition that this man, who showed her cruel kindness, would ruin her life.

She had been waiting for someone to ruin her unfortunate life.

* Watch this when:
You want a cruel romance where love saves and also ruins each other.

“You said you loved me. . . Don’t you love me?”

She was madly afraid that he wouldn’t love her anymore, that she wouldn’t be able to hold on no matter how much she clung to him.
