FATAL TROUBLE (REVERSE HAREM)

Part 123

The grand hall of the Vampfield Enterprise was bathed in an ethereal glow, chandeliers illuminating the polished marble floors as an air of prestige filled the space. Every influential figure in the corporate world had gathered—business tycoons, international investors, media outlets eagerly waiting for the monumental announcement. The event had been meticulously planned for over a year, yet to the men standing in the private lounge behind the stage, none of it truly mattered.

Heeseung adjusted his cufflinks, his jaw tight as he stared at the mirror. The reflection of THE CEO staring back at him was unfamiliar—a version of himself sculpted by loss, success overshadowed by regret. The deep charcoal of his suit was sharp, pristine, but beneath the luxury, exhaustion lingered in his eyes. He exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair before turning to the others.

Sunghoon, the president of the company, sat on the leather couch, legs crossed, silent. His fingers tapped rhythmically against his knee, a sign of restrained emotions. He was always composed, but tonight, his silence was heavier than usual. His thoughts were elsewhere—on someone from the past, on a face he hadn't seen in years but still haunted him every night.

Jay stood by the bar, pouring himself a glass of whiskey, though he barely took a sip. He wasn't a heavy drinker, but he needed something—anything—to calm the storm in his chest. The weight of his title, Foreign Western Business Management Head, meant little when his heart had never truly left the girl they had lost. The moment she disappeared, he had drowned himself in work, closing deal after deal, expanding the reach across continents. But no matter how much he achieved, she was still missing. And it gnawed at him like an incurable ache.

Jake stood by the window, gazing at the city skyline. He was the International Director now, a man of influence and global power, yet he felt powerless. He thought of all the times he had imagined this day—how they would have told her first, how she would have been standing beside them, pride shimmering in her eyes. But she wasn't here. She hadn't been for two years.

🎵The movie begins from the scene where you and I ended
You're walking away, the build-up of this break up
The opening sequence rewinds the incident
Ah, this familiar pain🎵

The announcement tonight was monumental—something that had once been meant for her ears before anyone else. A groundbreaking expansion, a merger that would change the landscape of the business world. It had been their shared dream, something they had spoken about late into the night, laughing, planning, believing in a future together. But now that future felt hollow without her.

Jungwon, the ruthless mafia leader of the Yang family, adjusted the tie-knot of his dark, custom-tailored suit. Unlike the others, his attire carried an understated menace—nothing flashy, but enough to remind anyone who looked at him for too long that he was dangerous. He stood before the full-length mirror, his sharp gaze trailing over his reflection, yet his mind was far from the grand event.

Sitting on the couch, Niki, his most trusted partner, hadn't spoken a word. His tall frame was slouched slightly, his fingers interlaced as he stared at the floor. The usual fire in his eyes was absent. He was always the unpredictable one, reckless even—but tonight, he was just... tired. They all were.

Then, the heavy double doors opened, and a presence unlike any other filled the room.

Sunoo, the heir of the royals, stepped inside. His arrival should have commanded attention, but instead of the regal aura he usually carried, there was only quiet grief in his expression. His carefully styled blond hair, the pristine embroidery of his custom suit—it all seemed meaningless to him. His sharp eyes scanned the room, locking onto Jungwon and Niki first.
