David decided that they would have a Korean traditional wedding. To begin the ceremony her stepmother Jenna along with David’s female friend Jin performed the Jum-chok Rye. It turns out that since David’s mother had already passed away, Bryan’s friend Kim’s wife, Jin takes the role traditionally assigned to the mother in the wedding procession. They lit candles to invoke the god of heaven to be present at the ceremony by sending up candle flames. Jin lit a red candle and Jenna lit a blue candle. They ended by bowing toward each other and then toward the guests.

David entered with Bryan carrying a wooden goose. Once they got to the front David handed the goose to my father. It is said that the goose keeps the promise of love forever. The goose was placed on the table with its head facing west while David bowed to the floor twice. My father took the small table with the goose where my family was seated.

Anna walked down the aisle to take her position on the west with David on the east

    “Neither was I trying to hide nor was I flirting with anyone,” Anna insisted. I was trying to cool off, but seeing David with sweat beads on his forehead and his big chest did little to lower her heat. The sight of him caused her temperature to rise. But if there was one thing that she got from her time with David, she learned that it was to have a far better understanding of her aunt Martha. She thought to herself with a smile that curled her lips, and now she and her aunt had a passion for handsome Korean males in common in addition to their passion for plants. “If you say so,” he shrugged, but she could sense the rage that was brewing beneath his surface. “You can cool off in the helicopter because it's time we said goodbye to our guests and left for Jeju Island,” he told her, firmly gripping her hand as he led her back into the mass of guests. After a little time had passed, Anna disembarked from the chopper and looked around. They touched down on a helipad that was located on the

    But just as she was about to torment him in the most personal way conceivable, he grabbed the bar of soap out of her hands. With a twisted smile, he proceeded to do to her what she had done to him. Utilized her strategies with just as much success as she had achieved. At last, Anna's need for him had worn her down to the point that she had to rest against the shower wall. She moaned quietly as she pleaded for some kind of relief or satisfaction. “ David...” she croaked his name from the back of her throat. David turns the shower off and takes Anna to their bed. Anna gasped his name, “David,” as his fingers gently stroked between her thighs, slowly and lightly. She felt electric shock waves of sensation jolting through her body. She wanted him, and she wanted to cry out, but instead, she pressed her mouth to his throat and bit down in a fever of frustration. David stifled a groan, and the swift kiss he pressed on her swollen lips turned into a savage duel of tongues. His long fingers

    “I know.” She moved her fingers over his biceps and across to linger sensually on the powerful bulk of his chest as yearning surged inside her. As David reached for her, she beamed. “Your touch, as much as I like it, is not a smart idea right now. I want to take my time with you,” so he took her hand and slipped her top down from her shoulders, dropping his head so he could taste the soft curves of her breasts. Her mouth dropped open in shock. “You are very responsive,” David said huskily. He laid her down gently on the bed and removed her underwear. His eyes swept over her lovely face and delicate shoulders before he leaned back and stared at her. When Anna realized how intensely aroused he was, she gasped for air. David smirked, a wickedly amused twist of his mouth revealing an irresistibly alluring “for you” expression. However, not just yet. He reached forward and grasped her hands, spreading them out to the sides of her body. He told her to “stay like that” as his eyes swept dow

    “There isn't a right way on a round bed,” David pointed out with a somewhat sarcastic smile, well-knowing that she had purposely sought to divert the subject and opted to let it go. Even if it had nothing to do with him, the fact that Anna had lied still bothered him. She didn't trust him with the truth. But why should he care? He was wedded to her, and he understood without arrogance the raging passion that burned within him whenever he even thought about her. David gazed at her, and she gave the same amount of attention back to him. They had excellent chemistry in bed. Even though she couldn't hide her reaction to his touch, he couldn't help but wonder what else she was keeping from him. Anna said with a resigned, “No, I suppose not,” and she shuddered for no apparent reason. She felt an overwhelming need to leave the room as its confines began to seem oppressive. She stepped into her underwear and shorts, but had to circle the bed to reach her top. When she did, she put it on and

    He looked into her chocolate eyes, saw astonishment and curiosity, and realized he had come off as harsh. But he had never experienced jealousy before, so maybe that was why. David thought, How have the mighty fallen? He wrapped his arm protectively around her and grinned cynically. Through her voluminous lashes, she gave him a sidelong glance. That means destroying the garden and rock garden, right?' "Yes. It all adds up perfectly. Don't you see?", he said with rising fervor. A veranda will stretch the length of the structure to provide shelter from the afternoon sun, which will be on that side. The remaining space will be a brick patio where you may have outdoor meals surrounded by beautiful vines and palms in pots. There will be minimal upkeep required. "No,' she denied firmly, yanking out of his arm as she disregarded David and turned to Jang, saying, 'Sorry, you'll have to think of some other method, maybe adding a second story to the home, or reinstating the original two bedr

    Curiously, she accepted his word. Anna detected an incorruptible aura of inner strength about him, despite his status as a powerful billionaire who had become a multimillionaire before the age of thirty and with enough sexual appeal to attract any woman. Perhaps that was something he'd gotten from his granddad. In her mind, maybe she was wishing that to be true. With his arm around her, she felt safe, and as his light, musky aroma filled the air, she felt an overwhelming need to open up to him. She had been her aunt's lone protector for nearly a year, and she felt the burden of that responsibility. David bowed his head, his eyes meeting hers through his thick lashes. I am an excellent listener,” he argued. How long are you going to keep harping on this? She sighed and informed him with her hands clasped. “Twenty years ago, my aunt was expecting a baby from her lover. As they had done numerous times before, she was five months pregnant when they sailed into Jeju Island for their esc

    When they got back to Los Angeles from their trip, Anna had found a new BMW car waiting for her—a wedding present from David. He claimed to have seen that her car had long past its expiration date. He had only spent 20 days in Los Angeles, but he had already become friends with Sara and Mark before taking his departure. He didn't stop at just offering Mark a position with his firm; he went above and beyond. He recommended that Sara and her husband take a more hands-off approach to running Anna and Sara’s Designs, significantly reduce the number of hours they put in, and hire at least two additional assistants to handle the workload associated with the new contract they had received. David was like a juggernaut, forcing everyone in his direction, so Anna's objections were disregarded. Her lone success had been the Villa on Jeju Island. To make her changes, David had to travel to Seoul a week later and whisk her away for a few days so that they could convince Bryan to go along with her

    David stood up from his desk, zipped up his briefcase, and cast a gloomy gaze around the room. He could have sat at home and done nothing and yet accomplished as much as he did today. But just where was "home"? Anywhere his lovely wife was… He had grown to actively hate the Los Angeles flat because it had slowly dawned on him that, while Anna was there, she hadn't made the least attempt to impose her personality on the property. She had not included any visuals or floral accents. The flat was as stark as Bryan had originally suggested—nothing at all like the comfortable abode Anna had enjoyed with her first husband.David sighed. His birthday was rather disappointing compared to others. He had been in a foul mood ever since he had asked Anna to accompany him this morning, and she had refused him outright and pointed out that doing so was not part of their agreement. He had believed Anna had gotten used to the circumstances of their marriage, but apparently, she hadn't.Crossing to the

    David cupped her face and said, “There is nothing that can make me queasy when it comes from you.”“Your body is where my child grows, and your blood is her blood also.”“Don’t ever think that it is something to be embarrassed about.”Anna smiled weakly at the man before her. ‘How could she not love this man?’David led her to the shower while helping her out of her clothes.He reached out to take the soap, but she said, “Please let me do it on my own, my breast is so sore, and it hurts too much.”“Okay, but let me do your back.” he insisted as he watched her.“We can visit the baby after breakfast.” he said.At this point, Anna was excited to see Selene. She swiftly finished her bath and changed into a wrap-around pink floral dress.They ate their breakfast and went to the hospital after.They were looking at their child through the incubator, she was so beautiful yet so fragile. 'I can't wait to hold her in my arms,' Anna thought. She felt so mesmerized by her. David wrapped his arm

    Anna woke up in the hospital the next day. Last night, she had a c-section because of the preterm labor. David was sitting near her. “Is the baby, okay?” She asked weakly. “The baby is in intensive care,” David said calmly. “Oh my God, is she going to be, okay?” concern was evident on her face. “All her vital signs are okay; however, she is in the incubator.” David cupped her face gently. “No need to worry, Anna, her pediatric doctor is a known specialist.” David reached for Anna and hugged her. At this very moment, she wanted to feel his warmth because she couldn't control her anxiety. Then the Doctor came to visit. “Good morning, Mrs. Miller.” She was an older woman with kind eyes. “I’m Doctor Avery Samuel, nice to meet you,” she said. “Nice to meet you too Doctor,” Anna replied. “Can I see my baby?” “Yes, but We had to wait for your OB-GYN, Doctor Ethan's recommendation.” “When it’s safe to move you, then you can visit your baby, but you have to understand that you cannot

    Anna dialed a memorized number on her phone.A sleepy voice answered her call, and Anna felt a surge of relief. “Sara? How about lunch?”“I didn't get to bed until three, you impossible person. Must it be today?”“We could make it a late lunch,” Anna persisted and heard Sara's laughing approval.“Name the time and place, and I'll meet you there.”“One-thirty. At the Grove,” she returned without hesitation.They met within minutes of the appointed time and managed, by good fortune to be shown to atable overlooking the fountain. After the serious business of ordering was completed, they settleddown to exchanging news, something which lasted through the starter, and well into the maincourse.“You're positively blooming,” Sara complimented quietly.“Your hair, your skin. everything about you. I couldn't be more pleased everything is working out.”Anna managed a bright smile that didn't fool her friend in the slightest.“Not quite, huh? What's the problem?”“I didn't ask you to meet me

    She rose to her feet and gathered the cutlery and glasses, then carried them through to thekitchen.David followed, and she heard him locking the outer doors and setting the security alarm.It was a simple task to load the dishwasher, and she had just finished when he entered the room.He looked over all the powerful masculine: dark trousers, light tan skin, dark hair, in stark contrast to the white shirt. Tall, he almost seemed overpowering, and, while she craved his touch, there was a part of her that cried out against any sexual defeat.She watched as he dispatched food down the waste disposal unit, then dropped emptycontainers into the pedal bin before washing and drying his hands. In silence, he turned andcaught hold of her hand, leading her through to the lounge, and then he selected a slow song.Soft music emanated from the speakers and Anna looked at him speechlessly as he drew her intohis arms.Crazy, she thought, as he pulled her close against him and began to drift slow

    “There's an excellent piece you really must see. Expensive, but worthy of investment.” He riffledthrough the catalog pages and brought the item to David's notice, then made his excuses assomeone else demanded his attention.“I happen to like Zhang Hongtu,” Anna protested as David's amused gaze rested on her expressive features.“So do I,” he assured her, and, placing an arm around her waist, he directed her towards a display.“Shall we begin viewing?”Some paintings verged on the bizarre, others resembled caricatures of design over brilliant slashes of color. One, in particular, looked as if a very young child had indulged in a wild battle with numerous pots of multicolored paint.“What do you think?”Anna turned towards David and tried to present a considered viewpoint. After severalseconds she voiced with restraint, “I'd prefer not to answer on the grounds that anything I saycould be overheard, taken into account, and held against me.”“A remarkable nonconformist piece,” David d

    “Anna. How are you, darling? Sorry to keep you waiting.”She closed the magazine and rose to her feet with a ready smile. “Michael.”“Your hand? It is still giving you pain?' He drew her towards the far end of the salon and seated her at a basin.“It aches a little.”Michael's personal attention was rare, and Anna, by virtue of being David's wife, appeared tobe one of the favoured few.She wrinkled her nose as he sluiced water over her hair and applied shampoo, rinsed and repeated the process with conditioner, then towelled it dry before leading her to a mirrored cubicle.“Are you able to drive again?”‘The specialist says I can. David would prefer Jacob to continue in the role of chauffeur. Although he has compromised and bought me another car.'“He is being protective, hmm?”“You could say that,” she agreed with suitable dryness.Michael picked up his scissors and comb and went to work. “Don't knock it, darling,” he cautioned wryly.“Men are not usually protective unless they care.

    ‘Would it ever be any different?’‘Could it be? Sadly, she didn't think so…’Even if she prepares herself for what is to come, she knows that David will also fight for this child to be his. ‘It will be a long battle.’Anna wandered down to the swimming pool and sat in one of the chairs positioned beneath a wide sun umbrella. The sun felt warm against her bare skin, and she leaned her head back and closed her eyes.“Anna? It is eleven-fifteen.”She came sharply awake at the sound of Amy's voice, amazed that she could have lapsed into a light doze. Her hand had swollen slightly and was beginning to show signs of bruising. There was also a degree of pain when the physiotherapist supervised her exercises, a fact which he noted, adding an admonition to be more careful. There didn't seem to be much point in assuring him that it was not self-inflicted.At home, she ate the chicken salad Amy had prepared for lunch, and then she changed into a bikini,selected a book, and wandered out to sit b

    When another couple joined them, Anna let out a breath of relief because most of the people were aimlessly wandering from table to table. While the woman had a light talk with Anna, the man—a business associate of David's—began an intense debate with him.Anna glanced at David with a look of surprise as he rested his arm across the back of her chair twenty minutes before they departed.“It is getting close to eleven o'clock.”“Our mission has been accomplished.”“Are you ready to go?” Anna nodded in agreement.Without saying a word more, he had them leave the ballroom and start to lead the way. A number of his friends wanted to talk to him, and while he waited a second to say a few expressions of courteous reply, he did not remain.Anna sank into the leather-cushioned seat and relaxed as David lowered the Bentley to street level, joining the steady flow of traffic leaving the city.It was pleasurable just to relax in the car. The pulsing in her hand had diminished in intensity, and th

    Anna caught her breath as David locked eyes with the model, who appeared innocent, in a way that only Amelia could.“Yes, to my great joy.” Underneath the velvety smoothness of his voice, there was no mistaking the steely core.As the guest speaker stepped up to the podium, Anna removed fruit segments from their meringue nest and set the plate aside, choosing tea as the dessert arrived, which was a letdown.Then, a DJ played some tunes in the background and urged everyone to get down on the dance floor. With grace and elegance, Amelia and her partner were among the first to ascend the stairs.She had an air of confidence and sophistication. Anna could tell the model was fully aware of the impact she was making on her partner from the subtle allure of her face.She wanted to know if it was helping David out or not.Meeting his shadowed stare unsettled Anna, who sneaked a peek at him.
