Sponsorship Stigma Chapter 14 has been released. A baby's wail pierces through the sterile hospital air, and Yeon-jae's heart skips a beat – yet another milestone without him by her side. The ghosts of their past continue to haunt her, each memory etched like razor-sharp cuts on her fragmented soul. Five long years have passed since she left behind the opulent mansion, severed ties with her patron, and embarked on a perilous solo journey as a single mother. Her reasons were clear then: escape the suffocating web of obligation and deliverance spun by Chairman Gu Hwan-soo – Yeon-jae's 'savior' who promised him his son would be raised among luxury and wealth. As she carefully cocoons herself and her child within the fragile boundaries of anonymity, shadows begin to converge once more. Whispers spread quickly; tongues begin to wag at the elementary school gates, taunting remarks forcing Yeon-jae back onto high alert. It isn't just about being haunted anymore; survival instincts kick in. Her fingers involuntarily clinch into fists every time words "ex-patroness" echo in passing conversations. Then one day, footsteps catch up with whispers – loud enough for guilt-ridden eyes, limned in scars reminiscent of something half-forgotten but still brutal: like candle wax spilled upon scorching asphalt, emitting acrid stench that lifts beneath autumn winds... They used to say Chairman Gu Je-heon resembles fine glassware smashing apart all too quietly – breaking right after stormy monsoons. His cold chin falls upon gleaming candelabras scattered along table runners in elegant drawings as grief flays mercilessness. Her nephew entered backstage today.
