Misa Kelly stepped out of her ride, her striking green eyes scanning the sky-high building that represented her dreams. Her heart raced with anticipation and the silent hope of seeing Ethan Kim again, the man who had been a beacon in her life since her troubled youth.

Misa felt a mixture of excitement and anxiety as she spotted Ethan across the room, his commanding presence impossible to ignore. "Welcome to Gold Tech, Misa. It's been a long time," he said, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that made her pulse quicken.

Ethan leaned against his desk, his gaze never leaving Misa. "I heard about the arranged marriage," she finally confessed, her voice tinged with disappointment. "My father's doing," Ethan replied, his tone laced with frustration. "But I have my own plans."

Misa sat at her laptop, her fingers flying over the keys as she devised a plan to sabotage the impending marriage. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions, torn between right and wrong. "I can't let him marry someone else," she whispered to herself, determination hardening her resolve.

Anna Han strutted towards Misa, her expression a mix of superiority and curiosity. "I hear you're quite close with Ethan," she sneered. Misa smiled coolly, "Closer than you'll ever be," she retorted, her eyes flashing with challenge.

Ethan approached Misa, his expression softening. "I knew about your plan," he admitted, stepping closer. "And I let it unfold because I needed to know... if you truly felt the same way I do." Misa met his gaze, her heart full, "I've always loved you, Ethan." The tension between them dissipated, replaced by a deep, undeniable connection.
