“Cecilia, you're from the Eldritch family?” Cecilia looked up and adorably smiled. “Yes, uncle.” Rui brushed Cecilia's beautiful locks. “Your family was looking for you earlier. They must've been worried sick because of what happened.” “I… I just don't want to see my friend in danger…” Rui and Chase met each other's eyes in confusion. Both of them thought of the same question, 'How do they know each other?' Cecilia and Eon did not notice the adult's reaction. They just quietly sat on the back seat in between Rui and Chase with their fingers intertwined. “Dad, will Cecilia go home now?” Eon suddenly asked as he tightened his grip on her hand. He was so delighted to see his old friend again that he forgot she also has a family of her own to return to. “Of course, son. Her parents are now waiting at the airport. We're now on the way there to drop her off.” “Why? She lives far from here?” Chase patted his son's head. “Yes, so she has to take an airplane to go home.” Hearing t
Soft and bittersweet notes resonated in the whole hall as the door opened for my arrival. I wholeheartedly listened to it as I closed my eyes to recall all the bitter and sweet events that rocked my world before marrying this man. “Ugh… Even sitting hurts…” I groaned the moment I tried to sit up. Who would've thought that having sex would be painful? Well, it was painful at first… But I… I think I liked it? But hell, I never thought that I would wake up to this kind of pain! I ruffled my hair because of frustration. “So dumb! I thought nothing could get worse than the things–” “Hmmm…” the man beside me groaned as he moved. Holy cow! I quickly steeled myself to get up to make myself a little bit presentable. Walking out of the bathroom, I saw a gorgeous man sleeping in all his glory! Perfect in all angles and… ehem… He's really good. Though it was kind of a blurry night for me. I enjoyed all the foreign things he did to me. Every touch was electrifying. But that was it. Bec
Days after settling down in the East City, I was approached by my old classmates to have dinner with them. I couldn't refuse because they especially went to school for me. I was very uncomfortable the entire time because they were just mocking me for having a son. So when the people I absolutely abhor showed up, I excused myself from their honorable presence. Staying there would only wear me out. I sat in the lobby of the hotel to wait for the taxi that I booked. It was a really stressful night. Even though I stayed silent the whole time, they still drained my energy. “Rui?” I looked up and felt my body stiffen as soon as I saw the man's face. I hurriedly covered my face and tried to flee. But he stopped me by grabbing my wrist. “No way, you're leaving me again?” he asked. Who is he anyway? What is our connection? Just that one night? Well, maybe we do have a connection. We even had a child. But that's not the point! The point is, I have to leave! “I don't know you, sir.”

He looked ten times more handsome than before. It's just that he was looking at her with eyes full of despair and longing. Nonetheless, this good-looking lad looks exactly like her son! She cannot-at all cost-let her son meet his father! She looked at the big hand that was gripping her wrist. “Sir, can you please let me go?” “Not until you leave me your contact details.” She immediately gave him her number. She knew he wouldn't let go until he gets what he wants. The man did not let go of her wrist until he made sure that he got the correct phone number. When he saw that her phone ra
Rui Yoon was out to visit her boyfriend, Shane Smith who was busy with managing his company.She was worried that he was not eating properly because he tends to neglect everything for the sake of accomplishing his tasks.When Rui reached Shane's apartment, she opened the door with her fingerprint. Because she was the girlfriend of a busy man, she was given access to the luxurious apartment. She would always help him clean his apartment and cook for him.When she entered the unit, she noticed a pair of lady's shoes that were scattered on the floor. Like it was removed in haste.It was a limited edition Jimmy Choo Sandals that she bought with Lianna Johnson, her best friend. Here in East City, they are the only ones who own this pair of shoes.
Five years laterCentriona National AirportRui Yoon was holding a baby with one arm and dragging a big suitcase with her other hand. She did not look haggard or tired at all. Rather, she looked beautiful and elegant with both a baby and a suitcase keeping her occupied. The baby in her arms encircled his small arms on her neck and buried his face on her shoulder.Even though people can't see the baby's face, they can infer that the baby is just as beautiful as his beautiful Mom who was carrying him. He was wearing a frog onesie and a cartoon-decorated mask. His eyes were tightly shut and one can see that his long eyelashes were slightly trembling.“Mommy, where is Uncle Carter?” the little boy asked.
The Yoon family has always stirred away from the cruel high society. Though it looked glamorous from an outsider's point of view, the core is rotten and full of schemes. It's a society full of fake smiles and flattery.Families who were involved would always be wealthy and powerful. They make connections for the sake of business and making money.Five years ago, when her father's company was usurped by his “best friend” she was labeled as a poor daughter of a bankrupt businessman.The same rumors are spreading again this time. But with a twist.She now became a measly professor of a university with a son who has no father.Rui Yoon, who just came out of the university after settling t
