Fang's CondoThe party was finally over. Eric was freed of the baby who kept drooling on him. Chang and Phoebe were talking to each other while Eric was confronted by his friend Fang."Is there something between you and the young lady talking to Chang?" Fang asked.Eric scoffs and said, "Of course not as I said earlier we are just a boss and employee and nothing more"."Alright I will take your word for it, but honestly there is nothing wrong with you two being together. You guys look good together" Fang shared his opinion.Eric chuckled and smiled."Trust me there is nothing besides she likes someone else," he said and left with Phoebe and Chang."Phoebe are you two done talking because I have to leave and since you came with me, ideally I have to leave with you so.." he said but was interrupted by Phoebe."Can't you just say we have to leave and than give a long speech"?"Hmmm and do I have to tell you why?" Eric answered.Chang chuckled which made Eric turn to look at him he was ab
Eric and Andrew finally arrived at the hospital, Eric hurriedly entered the hospital and asked for the room number of Diana.He yelled at the nurse startling everyone. People started to whisper and the ladies couldn't stop staring at him."Is that Eric Hong", oh God his hotter in person""He looks so upset I am sure his girlfriend is here""Oh no he is already taken"The whispers kept on and finally, the nurse was able to tell where Diana's room was.He barged in and saw her sitting on the bed with a bandage on her hand and she wasn't alone. Philip and two ladies were with her.They were all startled by his appearance, he looked so worried that his tie was dispositioned."What the hell happened? Tell me now!!" He yelled.Philip got upset and turned to him. "You can't just come here and yell at the patient do you understand""It's ok Philip, I understand why he is upset. I am guessing they called you too" she said looking at Philip and then turned to Eric."I am sorry for that, I added
Eric's House;"What?" Phoebe exclaimed."Stop pretending you don't know what I am talking about," Eric said to her with an annoyed expression."Seriously what is it to you?" She asked curiously. "Hmmm nothing, just a piece of advice, it won't work," he said nonchalantly.She chuckled and said, " I do understand how negative you are towards love and I would appreciate it very much if you don't spread anything like that alright"."He won't protect your relationship when the time comes and that is how he is, he starts something and with a little pressure he lets go " Eric explained."I said there is nothing like that going on, first it was him, thinking I like you and now you are thinking I like him. Seriously there is no doubt that you are brothers" Phoebe voiced out.She passed him by and suddenly stopped because of what Eric said;"Does he know what happened between us?"She quickly run and covered his mouth and since Eric was taller than her she had to tip-toe."Seriously Eric, do yo
Chang who arrived a little late to his own time saw Yoon Eum seated at the coffee shop he requested to meet up.She turned and smiled at him. He was quite surprised by her smile."Birds of the same feather do flock together," he said to himself and parked his motorcycle and went to sit by her."Sorry for being late, I got caught up with something," he said to her."No don't worry I just arrived anyways" she answered. It was a lie since she knew she was meeting up with him, she arrived thirty minutes before time."Erm, I hope you doing well, your eyes seemed to be swollen, why if I may ask?" he said to her."Oh that, it's just that I have been upset with myself after the heated argument I had with Phoebe, I can't stop crying every time I think about it," she said while sobbing.Chang didn't expect this reaction from her, she sounded so excited when they spoke on the phone and now she looked like a wet puppy.He didn't want her to cause a scene with her crying so he tried to comfort her
WARNING :( SEXUAL CONTENTS ) Read with caution.At the mall...Eric and Diana walked towards Chang and Phoebe who were defending Yoon Eum from her brother.Meanwhile, they had caught the attention of the people in the mall and they kept whispering to themselves."Oh my God is that Eric and Diana?""So it might be true that they are really in a relationship""They are truly the power couple. I am jealous""How can two perfect humans stay together, so unfair"These whispers caught the attention of Phoebe and Chang and noticed Eric and Diana coming towards them.Chang pushed Yoon Eum's brother's hand away and pulled Phoebe close to him."What is going on here?" Eric asked as he faces them."Nothing to concern yourself with little brother," Chang said."Of course its my concern , because one of my employees who was supposed to be in the office decided not to appear at all.Rather came to a mall when she is supposed to be working am I wrong Phoebe" Eric pointed out."What is this? is this
A week went by after the incident. Eric hadn't spoken to anyone. He only focuses on work and coming back home.Phoebe and the other workers started to wonder if there was a problem.Phoebe asked Andrew about Eric's sudden change of attitude and he also denied knowing anything.Diana has been calling him for days but he had been ignoring it. He wasn't picking up not because he didn't want to but rather because he had nothing to say to her.In a week, he would be on a business trip, and for once he was happy to get away.Diana's apartmentDiana had been drinking for days now, and Eric has been ignoring her calls.Her world was crumbling around her, she needed to talk to Eric but he refuses.A knock came through but she wasn't ready to open or see anyone."Diana open up, I have a spare key if you don't open up I am breaking in" a woman voiced out."I'm coming, Mom" she responded and opened the door."What took you so long to open up," her mother said.She sniffed and realized her room sm

Her father said, "I have always known you to be a mistake.Yoon Eum raised her eyes after hearing her father speak.She exclaimed, "Abeoji, do you even love me or care about my happiness."Her brother cautioned her, "Don't act like the victim here; you haven't done anything for the family so don't make Father look like the bad guy.""Your brothers have done everything they can to support this family and you what have you done for this family? Nothing!!""All you do is cause trouble and nothing more and I have had enough of that. I want you to pack your things and get out of my house now" her father commanded.Yoon Eum couldn't believe what she was hearing, "Did my father just kick me out", she thought to herself."Why do keep hurting me, I am also your child, was it my fault for being a girl, why do you keep making me feel like my e
"Chang""Yes it's me again""So she called you""Yes, and I couldn't say no""I get that, it's really hard to say no to her"They both laughed."Sorry please come in" Chang invited her in. She was holding one suitcase and a black hanging bag."Make yourself at home, this place may be small but comfortable," he said to her.She smiled and said "It's not a problem, I still can't believe I am in my star-crush apartment" She didn't realize what she had just uttered until she looked at Chang who had a smile on his face.She smiled shyly with her hand brushing her neck. "Have you eaten, I am guessing you are starving" he asked."Thanks but I am good," she said to him. "Well let's get you settled in," he said and took her suitcase and led her to the second bedroom.Phoebe's POV;Eric's House;Eric kept his distance from me, and I don't know the reason why but I can't force someone who hates me to like me.So I decided to stay away from him by avoiding him. I got back from work on my own and
Eric’s POV Aunt Greta told a story about my grandfather and his father. She said we were quite similar in many ways. Just like my father, we were both stubborn children. Grandfather fell in love as a kid while traveling with his father. Unfortunately, the girl in question was an ordinary Thai girl. She was beautiful, he said. His father wasn’t interested in creating such a connection. In times of war, a love that was supposed to bring people together instead created a rift between a father and a son. His father led to his first love’s death, and on his dying bed, he asked for forgiveness, but my grandfather refused. Aunt Greta wanted my help to convince my grandfather to visit his father’s grave. So here I am, standing in front of his door, hoping he would open up, since I have been coming for a week now. “Grandfather, you don’t need to act like this. I just want us to talk. This is your last warning.” No response from him. This was my only option. “If you don’t c
Philip's POV Everything feels like a dream. I'm trying hard to be friends with Eric, but it’s difficult, especially since he got married. He’s a changed man. He’s always smiling now. I heard he loves visiting Phoebe’s home country. The point is, he’s happy, and I’m just here in my office, drinking alcohol. We found out who attacked Eric—guess who? Rachael Li. I expected that. She’s unstable and needs help, which is why I sent her to a psychiatric hospital, since I’m technically her husband. But things are clear now. No hard feelings. She claims she has changed, and who am I to judge? I’ve changed too, but not entirely. I still lack the courage to confess and apologize to Diana for being a jerk. Six months should be enough to get my act together. "Ping!" "Who the hell is disturbing my..." I pause when I see who’s calling. "Diana," I mutter. I clear my throat and answer, "Diana." "Can we meet?" "Yeah..." "Someone wants to see you. Can you make it right now? I’m in front of th
A Few Hours Ago… Phoebe’s POV It was high time I faced my fears and made things right. I decided to visit my father. Mama accompanied me, and the moment we entered the police station, I asked her for some alone time with him. She nodded in agreement. I approached the officer at the front desk and politely asked to see my father. He directed me to the waiting area, where I took a seat and waited for him to be called. Soon enough, he appeared. He seemed to be doing well, smiling as he took his seat. “Is there something you need? You haven’t visited for a while now,” he said. “Been busy,” I replied. “Yeah, I can see that. You’re getting married.” “Huh!” I exclaimed, surprised. He chuckled softly. “Don’t be surprised. Your marriage to Eric is everywhere.” “Hmm. I just want you to listen. Will you do that for me?” He nodded. “I’m sorry.” “Huh?” “Don’t be surprised. It was bound to happen anyway,” I giggled. He chuckled again. “I’m sorry for being a bad father, for
Phoebe’s POV As expected of the most famous family in Singapore. Mr. Hong makes our unprepared marriage London to the public. Everywhere is flooded with the news of the number one bachelor’s marriage, ERIC HONG. It’s not easy being his soon to be bride. The hate is as equal as the love. People think king i don’t deserve to be with him. He is too precious for me. Catrina snaps at me interrupting my thoughts. “Girl where is your head. You can’t be distracted when you have a big wedding at hand. More importantly you are the bride” she points out. “Exactly” “Huh!”she exclaims. “What are talking about?” Ella asks. I sigh. “I haven’t you guys seen the hate comments on the news. No everywhere. It’s hard to be the bride when you are the only one who seems to be happy” I explain. They stare blankly at me with a frown. “I didn’t think you care about what others think about you?” “Me too, guess people do change” “That is not it. I feel like it’s being rushed. We are not
Phoebe’s POV Mama has all the reasons to be upset with me. I did tell her I was not having sex with Eric, and now it turns out I am pregnant. She keeps dragging me along. I don’t know where we are heading. She probably doesn’t know either. “Mama, mama, mama!” “What?!” She finally pauses and lets go of my hand to face me. “What? Do you have anything to say now?” “No I don’t, but I need to know where we are going l, we have been walking and it’s getting dark. We are a few steps away from the hospital I think it’s best we..” “No, we are not going back to that place. I know what you are trying to do here and it won’t work on me this time around” “Mama, listen please” “No, I am not going to listen to your lies anymore. I have had enough of you trying to act smart with me. Yes may not be the best mother in the world but, I did want you to end up like me. I am trying here Phoebe. I wish..” her voice breaking. “Mama,” I call, softly. “No don’t say a word. I am not done yet. You tol
Eric’s POV “Congratulations, you are pregnant,” hearing the doctor announce such news, my eyes widen. I can’t believe it. She is really pregnant. I blink, trying to grasp what he just revealed. Forgetting that I am not the only one surprised. “What!!!” “Doctor, you must be mistaken. There is no way my daughter would be pregnant. She hasn’t been with a man before, please do your checks well.” “Huh!” I exclaim, and Grandfather Hong and Aunt Greta exchange glances. They are in shock. The doctor is the most shocked. He glances at Phoebe and then to me. “Mama, calm down. It’s probably a mistake, right, doctor?” She winces at the doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor seems to be an honest man. He still insists on the fact that she is pregnant. Honestly, I have been hoping for such news. The last time we made love, I didn’t use a condom. She passed out, so she hardly remembered what happened after. And that is good news. She would probably have my neck if she finds out I am the cause
Phoebe’s POV “Hello, little brother, do you miss me?” she smiles. Little brother? Mr. Hong is not the eldest? I can’t believe it. She is pretty and rich; it makes sense if she is related to the Hongs. I pause and stare at the two people who are arguing. Instead of being surprised, Eric is smiling like he knows what is going on. I wonder what is happening. I didn’t know Mr. Hong had an older sister. Eric isn’t the only one who seems unfazed. Her presence interrupts everything. Everyone is staring at us now. I thought it was supposed to be a birthday party. My stomach groans. I am still hungry, and yet I can’t even eat anymore. I draw too much attention to myself with the way I am eating. This isn’t like me at all. I don’t understand why I am like this. “What are you doing here?” Mr. Hong asks. “Is that how you welcome your older sister?” she answers. “I ask again: what are you doing here?” “And I say again: is that how you treat your older sister?” He glances at Eric. “Did
A four years ago… Nairobi… “It has come to light that Ben Hong and Randall Meyers are involved in the deaths of Frank Hong and his wife. “ new anchor read. “What the hell is going on. A brother killing a brother, that is not the family I left behind. What did you do little brother” a woman in her early seventies said while watching the news. She took the remote and threw it at the television damaging it. “Kale!” “Yes boss” a tall black man, well built resounded behind her. “Find out what is happening in Singapore. Contact me if you find anything. Two years ago.. Thailand.. Kale visits the woman in a five star hotel. She sat in her corridor and awaits his arrival. “Took you longer than I expected” “Sorry Miss Greta. Here is the information you want” “If it here” she grabs the envelop and scanned through the documents and pictures in it. “Wow, all this drama behind me. She spots Phoebe’s Picture. She oddly looks familiar, don’t you think so Kale” K
Eric’s POV I hated to ask favor from the man who wanted me and my family dead. Unfortunately he suddenness in killing my parents. It disgusted me to know he is related to me by blood. “I need your help” I said to him. “My help?” “Hey don’t ignore me. Can’t you see we were talking?” “We are done talking you can leave “ he said to his son. “But…” “No buts, you can leave” “Ok” he said and left but he actually leave. He is so cautious of me that something I feel he is a little intimidated by me. “Why do you need my help? I never thought you will come and see me after.. Not now Mr. Ben Hong. I am not here to listen to your story. It went do me any good. Besides the real murderer is under trial,” he cuts him off. Ben smiles. “You nothing like your father, do you know that. You more like your grandfather than any of us,” “That is something I disagree. Anyways he is the reason I came. Chang told me you know something or someone who can break Grandfather” “Hahah
