Chapter 3 Vengeance

Iris

We are currently in one of the most luxurious dining I've ever been in my entire life. I have always thought that I was born into riches but looking at Edwardo I mean Ji-hoon I realized that there are different levels of luxury and Ji-hoon family luxury is no joke. I don't even know why I'm not upset with him for lying to me, maybe because he's different, he's my husband and I've been with him for so long to know that he loves me so there's no need to be angry.

“Irish dear?” Ji-hoon's mother called me

“Yes Mother” I answered calmly, as she stared at me with a lovely smile on her face, 

“Ji-hoon told me everything that happened to the both of you, and I was thinking, what's your thoughts on that? Have you both discussed it?” She asked, looking at Ji-hoon and me. 

I looked at Ji-hoon and he gave me a nod to go ahead and say whatever I wanted to say

“Mother, I was just waking up from coma, I lost my baby, and my husband and I nearly lost our lives too, but luck was on our side and we got a second chance to live, my family are happily feasting on my wealth and celebrating my death as their victory, I want all of them, starting from my stepmother, my father and my step-sister, they deserve to pay for everything they took away from me especially for my baby that I lost, I will never forgive them for that”

I felt a warm hand caressing mine and looked down to see Ji-hoon's warm hand trying to calm me down

“What they did to the both of you was inhuman, I've wanted to throw them in jail long ago, but Ji-hoon wanted you to wake up first and make the decision of what to do with them since they are your family” Ji-hoon's father spoke up, I turned to stare at Ji-hoon and he nodded at me with a smile.

“Thank you Father for thinking of me as a family” 

“Of course, Ji-hoon loves you a lot, we are family” He smiled

“Son?” His mother called

“Ma?” 

“I think it's time for you to show yourself to the world as the hero of Kuwaiti Group, all your life you have isolated yourself from the family business, but your father is already too old to continue the business, and it's time for you to take after him, I think that will also show those that one's laughed at you and called you names that you were never a poor cabbage it's time to show them you're the real deal”

…………………..

Strolling around the Kuwaiti castle with Ji-hoon giving me a tour, the walls of the whole castle were painted in white just like royalty with so many artistic works on the walls from famous artists all around the walls, and just one art on this wall can buy a whole mansion, that's how rich the Kuwaiti family is….

“The arts on the walls are all beautiful,” I said with a smile pointing at the art of a young lady with a baby in her arms, 

“My mother is a lover of art, she's the one who decorated the whole castle with colorful art” He answered with a smile, 

I halted on my step and turned to stare at him

“Your mum must love family a lot”

“Hmm, she does, she believes that family is everything”

“I can see that, you can tell from her choice of art, your parent must really love you to have let you act poor just to be with me even when you're their only child”

“Actually my parents have always supported me, anything that will make me happy they have always supported my choice in life, and never for once have they been against it” 

“Hmmm” I nodded and tried to continue walking but he suddenly held my hand stopping me

“Mi Amore” He called looking uneasy, I sighed and turned fully to face him

“Are you not angry with me?” He asked looking tense, I smiled and cupped his cheeks

“You already managed to win my heart, does it still matter where you come from at this point, we've been through a lot together already, it doesn't matter anymore where you come from or who you are, what matters is that you're the man I fell in love with”

“Mi Amore” He called with eyes filled with love, and slowly pulled me into his arms, hugging me so tight, I smiled, shaking my head in smiles as I patted his back. He rested his head on my shoulder

“About what mum asked earlier, about your family, what do you really want to do, I want you to know that whatever choice you make I will always stand beside you, and will always support you” 

I slowly pulled away from the hug, staring deep into his eyes, I slowly held his two hands, 

“Are you sure about that?” 

“Hmm, it depends on you, if you want to revenge or just take back your position peacefully”

“No, my poor baby does not deserve what happened to her, it still feels like it happened yesterday, how that heartless stepmother of mine, snatched my baby's life, I cannot forget the smile on her face, they are still fresh in my memory, I will make sure to wipe that smile away from her face, I will make her feel the pain of losing a child, 

They should enjoy it while it lasts, for I'll strike when they least expect it. Are you ready to stand by me as we avenge our dead child?”

“Your wish is my command amore” He smiled making me smile too, but this smile is different because it was mixed, with pain, anger, and a taste for vengeance.
