His Despicable Ways (Next Book)

[A] The Letter Thief

She met her pen pal of ten years in person for the first time.

She was surprised. The cool, melancholy, artistic guy she'd imagined turned out to be a cold, domineering CEO in a suit.

They got along well enough, except that when he commented on works of art, he sounded a little like he'd memorized a script.

Still, it was no big deal. A man who was willing to put thought into her was a good man.

After their date, he returned home to find his younger brother waiting on the sofa.

The young man had recently held a solo art exhibition and had just flown back from Italy. He was travel-worn but in high spirits.

"Bro, have I gotten any letters lately?"

He tightened his grip on the letter in his hand.

"...No."

[B] The Face Thief

Years after graduation, she reunited at a gathering with the one true love of her youth.

He had changed a lot.

The impoverished, beautiful young man she'd known had transformed into a rich young master. He'd given up his dream of painting and taken up a cold scalpel instead.

The only thing that hadn't changed was his face, still as beautiful, radiant, and flawless as ever.

After a few drinks, he got drunk in her arms and confessed, unable to hold back his feelings, that he'd been in love with her for ten years.

She couldn't resist those gentle, dewy peach-blossom eyes.

Everything about him, inside and out, was perfect for her, down to the tiniest detail. It was as if he'd been meticulously sculpted to suit her tastes.

There was only one thing: from the time they started dating through their marriage, she never once saw him without makeup, not late at night or early in the morning.

[C] Repaying a Favor by Offering Himself

She woke up from a night of heavy drinking to find a handsome man with a perfect figure lying beside her.

He claimed she'd saved him, and that he had no way to repay her except to offer himself to her.

Her memory was hazy. She couldn't remember doing anything heroic at all.

The beauty shed a tear, and she couldn't bear to turn him down, so she reluctantly took him in.

But later, another beauty showed up, then a second, then a third...

They were handsome and elegant, gentle and beautiful, or refined and aloof, but they all gave the same reason.

That night, she had saved him, and he was asking to offer himself to her.
