Jayden's Point of ViewBefore I could react, Maryna took off running, even in her long red evening gown. She kicked off her matching red heels and simply sprinted with surprising speed, catching up to them. She leaped onto the back of the taller figure, who appeared to be the man, and started hitting him on the head. The boys were as shocked as I was, but they quickly reacted, and we all ran over to help Maryna. However, the woman covered in a burka began screaming and crying in a language I didn’t recognize, and airport security surrounded us. Maryna managed to pull the cloth off the man's head and face, revealing that it wasn’t Bobby. The final boarding call for the flight to Venezuela was being made, and we were now surrounded by security. The situation couldn't have been more desperate. They were pulling Maryna off the man, restraining her with her hands bound in front of her using plastic ties. She was trying to explain the situation when something seemed to dawn on her, and her
Jane’s Point of ViewBeing threatened, kidnapped, none of that affected me as much as the sound of that gunshot. I was still numb from the substance Bobby injected into me, but I managed to stand. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, which allowed me to see everything clearly. Daon provoked Bobby, risking his own neck to save me despite my tearful pleas for him to leave.All I wanted was for everyone to get out of here safely. I just wanted to erase the stain of my existence from their lives so they wouldn’t have to go through this. I looked around, seeing the distress on the officers' faces, the tears streaming down Jayden’s flawless face, and Daon’s determined look, his eyes full of resolve to save me even if it cost him his life.When he achieved his goal and Bobby moved the gun from my head to point at him, Daon smirked, and my heart seemed to stop. It was as if Daon wanted Bobby to shoot him, and after a few words that made Bobby’s body tremble next to mine, I wanted to say
Jane’s Point of ViewMaryna pouted, and I couldn’t help but smile when Louyse seemed to tug at her blouse.“You don’t need to apologize. Now we’re all going to be a family, and the only thing that matters is your well-being,” Louyse said, looking pleased.She seemed to realize what she had said, and everyone stared at her, then looked at me.“Family?” I asked.“Stop scaring my patient, you impatient lot. Let me examine her first,” the doctor joked, and started examining me. He soon sighed as if thinking of a simple way to deliver news I wasn’t sure was good or bad.“Alright, your vital signs are normal, and your blood pressure is steady. Jane, the sedative you were given was strong, but not enough to keep you unconscious for more than two hours. However, what complicated things is that you're pregnant,” the doctor stated.“Pregnant?” I asked, startled.“Yes. Nearly six weeks along,” the doctor confirmed.I was completely shocked, and the worst part was that I didn’t even know who the
Jane’s Point of ViewFour years later.I woke up stretching, desperately wishing to sleep for ten more minutes before the twins burst into the room, jumping on the bed like they did every morning. Before I could close my eyes again, I felt the familiar touch of my husband on my arms and soon felt him pressing his body against mine, already kissing my neck.“Time to wake up, sleepyhead,” he said.“No, just ten more minutes,” I whined, feeling his body against mine.“What if we use those ten minutes to do something much better?” he teased, making me smile, teasing him back.“Aren’t you tired, Mister Park? We barely slept last night,” I remarked.He smiled and took my hand, pulling me on top of him.“Of course, it’s not every day the kids go to bed early,” he retorted.“Well, after spending the whole day at the amusement park,” I commented.He sat up on the bed, pulling me into a kiss, and lifted my nightgown, quickly taking it off completely. I took the opportunity to remove his shirt,
The night lights of Seoul seem to slide swiftly past the window, marking my first night in the city. Everything here is new and strange to me, a girl raised in the United States. It was there, just three months ago, that I found the man of my dreams."Are you nervous, darling?"His sidelong glance captures mine as he holds my hand, kissing it gently while driving. His smile melts me inside; I can hardly believe my luck in marrying him."A little. What if your mother doesn't like me?""Impossible."His smile eases my nerves, the same butterflies in my stomach dancing since the first day we met. We met at a party in the US; he was there for work, and I, trying to get over a failed relationship. It was love at first sight, and since then, we haven't been apart. When he had to return to Korea, we just couldn't stay away from each other.When he proposed to me, after a night of love, I was lost in thought. He would leave the next day, and the idea of losing him after three intense months
I spot a taxi approaching and wave frantically to hail it. As soon as it stops, I don't think twice and enter, instructing the driver to go as fast as possible. At this moment, all I wish for is my friends by my side, to go to some bar and drown my sorrows while venting about him. But, without their company, I decide to content myself with the idea of going to some bar and drowning my sorrows alone. I've made my decision: tomorrow I'll be back in the United States. After all, if Daon had doubts about our marriage, how could I continue to be by his side?I try to call Tracy, my friend who shared an apartment with me before I came here, but she doesn't answer. Frustrated, I resort to Google until I find the name of a nightclub not far from there. I give the address to the driver, and a few minutes later, I'm at the door of the club, pulsing with loud music and a dancing crowd. Despite my hesitation, I enter the place, determined to order a drink. I sit at the bar, crossing my legs, and
When I arrived at the door of the house, my heart almost stopped, and I let some tears escape. I had to be strong and leave before he asked me to leave. When I entered the house, he was sitting on the couch with his phone to his ear, trying to call me again. When he saw me, he sighed in relief and came to me, giving me a hug that melted me."Where were you, my love? I kept calling you like crazy, I was so worried."I pushed him away, and he looked at me, confused. I went to the bedroom, followed by him, and grabbed some clothes from my suitcase. Then, I went into the bathroom, taking a long, relaxing shower. When I came out dressed, he was sitting on the bed, waiting for me. When his eyes met mine, I felt all my determination fading."Why did you leave like that without telling me anything?""I needed to think. I heard your conversation with your mother and decided that I'm going back home."He looked at me, dumbfounded, and I could feel his expression of concern turning into a look o
I was sitting in my room while flashes from last night tormented my mind. I thought of that mysterious and determined woman, her taste, her gaze, her sway. She had enchanted me, and I needed to find her again. I'm not the type to get attached, and I just wanted to see her once more to have another night like that. She was indeed different from the others, and I needed to have that woman in my bed, moaning my name. I needed to know her name and have her once more. As I started to remember her, I got a little too excited. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Daon entered the room. He had been away for three months and had returned today because we had a show tonight. He was very mysterious and said he would surprise everyone when he returned."Look who's back from the dead!" said Jayden."Of course! But what's that? Is that a flashlight in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" replied Daon, laughing.I ended up laughing and adjusted my pants, trying to cover it up."Sorry, when
