If You Desire to Keep Me Chapter 81 has been released. The faint scent of roses wafts through Kisakas's chambers as she stands frozen before the mirror, her eyes locked on the ring that binds her to Daniel – a promise of love forged in blood and betrayal. But it all comes crashing down like autumn leaves when Daniel reveals the truth behind his cruel words: the mistress waiting outside their luxurious mansion isn't merely any other woman – she's one half of a family entwined in a complex web of politics, power, and deception. Her father's stern face flashes before her mind, reminding her that some bonds can never be broken. With each suffocating breath, Kisaka realizes that escape seems more impossible than ever. Yet fate tosses her a lifeline when Seyodd, the brooding new Duke who inherited both wealth and responsibilities after her brother's untimely demise, enters her world with the tempting proposal of a union born of convenience – not passion. Accepting the arrangement means surrendering control of her destiny, sacrificing much-needed independence for security, but at what cost? A chill spreads across Kisaka's skin as Daniel's cold warning echoes within her heart: _"I warned you once – don't come near him again." The fragile veil of peace disintegrates; instead, hidden shadows materialize, redefining the canvas of fear. Beneath Seyodd's polite smile lies something sinister, awaiting discovery like shifting sands beneath her trembling feet. And so begins a treacherous dance where keeping secrets will determine whether a chance alliance brings either redemption or ignites fresh disaster – Kisaka must decide if risking everything will yield the safety she desperately seeks.
