“Anna Kim was reported to be in a scandal with the young American director who directed the Korean American Movie, ‘Homeland'. The twenty eight year old actress who…..”The television was immediately turned off by a lady who was in her early thirties. Her face tightened into a deep frown as she glares at Anna who was sipping juice from a glass cup.“Didn’t I warn you not to listen to this kind of news?” The lady’s voice was very harsh, she didn’t bother to pity Anna who looked like a corpse.“Tell me, Marlene, isn’t this the ninth year since I got engaged?” she asked breathlessly, her eyes blinking as they got watery. “I don’t know why Leonard don’t want to get married with me! I have tolerated him, loved him than anyone else but… but he just can’t look at how pained I am.”The tears she was controlling fell off her face as she held tightly unto her teddy bear. Marlene went to sit beside her, patting her back and pressing her lips together. She didn’t know why Anna was always like
In the Lee’s mansion, Grandpa Lee invited his children and their children for dinner. Lee Jin Cheol was the eldest and also the parents of Leonard and the twins but he passed away long ago when Leah and Logan were in middle school. The second born of chairman Lee was Lee Min and the last child was the only woman, Lee Yuri. Lee Min had a son, Lee Woon and Lee Yuri had a daughter, Bae Ro Na and a husband, Bae Tae Joon. With Leonard being the eldest grandchild, grandpa Lee made him the head CEO of Lee group while his only son, Lee Min was the vice chairman of Lee group.Lee group might not be the most popular group in Korea but it's still among the top three most significant group. If not for Grandpa Lee’s accountable grandson who made Lee group significant, Lee group would have been nothing.It has been two years since the twins came back from America. They didn't get along with their relatives and their relatives dislike them for being favored by grandpa Lee. Logan and Leah loathe it wh
Her gaze dripped with spite as she got down from the car. She wore a white shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a black face cap and a black nose cover. A brown haired lady also got down from the car with her but this lady was beaming so beautifully even though the other lady was unhappy. “Boss lady, we're here!” The brown haired lady gleamed, tugging the hand of the other girl. "Get hold of yourself Eddie! Stop frowning” she yelled at the other lady who nodded simply. They've both been through hell during those two years but they both survived it. Their story changed when a video of Eddie from ten years ago was uploaded on the Internet. In that video Eddie was acting. She changed her expression into different emotions. It was outstanding!! Even Elizabeth didn't believe it for a second but she knew it was Eddie. Even though the person in the video looks young, It was so simple for Liz to know that the person was Eddie. The video changed not only Eddie’s life and lifestyle but also Liz’s life
EDDIE’S POV “You have two more shoots after this one” Liz’s voice jolted me out of my trance. I was too focused on my thought and didn't realize I was with Liz. “Okay, Call Mr. Cha” I spoke out quietly as I stood up to pick up my cap. Being an actress isn't easy, I have to make use of a cap and nose cover whenever I'm going out. Mr. Cha was the person that reached out to me first after my video was released to the internet two years ago. He helped me with my admission and when I graduated I signed a contract with his company. He told me that his boss took an interest in my talent and decided to support me. His boss was unknown cause his identity was hidden from me for security intentions. It's not like I care about his identity but I'm grateful to him for believing in me when I was at the peak of giving up on everything, he gave me hope when I thought I won't be able to get revenge on my relatives who almost destroyed my life and took my mother's life, he gave my dream a flourishin
EDDIE For a second, I thought I was seeing things but I knew it wasn't my imagination acting up this time. To be sincere, I've always dreamed of him during those two years. I never thought I would see him tonight and it made me feel a little bit restless. He sat down on the obtainable seat, facing me and his gaze fixated on me. Slicked hair, thick brows, beautiful lips, piercing eyes, alluring Adam apple… I didn't fail to notice what got me attracted to him two years ago. I didn't know what to feel at the moment, anger, happiness, anxiety… Looking at him made me speechless. I must be a fool. But I wanted to act cool, I want to show him he was a jerk, a big one at that but it's happening again, my feelings are betraying me. I clenched my fist hard, glaring hard at the boiling hot pot. “Mr. Lee, it's so nice to meet you again,” Liz said, her voice containing a strong suggestion of reproach. I shifted my gaze to Liz who kept her eyes on Mr. Lee. “Let me introduce Mr. Lee to you” Mr
“He's going to mess up again” Min Ho mumbled as he paced to and fro. He held his head firmly, his eyes blazing with irritation. “Hey! Don't forget you carried me here without my consent” Liz shouted, stomping her heels on the floor. “You are just like your boss!” she screamed, glaring at Min Ho who was already tight-lipped. He had forgotten she was here, his mind was occupied with his boss. He's worried the cold man may act out of hand again. Mr. Cha had left them after they got outside. It was just him and miss fiery temper. “What do you mean I'm just like my boss Miss Elizabeth?” he asked slowly, not wanting to sound angry. It was obvious that he was a little annoyed but he didn't want her to get the wrong idea. And truthfully, he's afraid he might get hit with her heels. "I mean shouldn't we give them time to settle whatever is between them? They might be business partners in the future so it's better to settle the resentment between them than let it interfere with their business l
Liz couldn't sleep after the discussion with Min Ho. She kept peeking at Eddie subconsciously, her conscience filled with guilt. Eddie was her best pal and they've been together for seven years but she failed to realize what Eddie was passing through. She became her road manager, closer to her than anyone else but she failed to learn that Eddie was suffering. She didn't know why Eddie didn't tell her the whole truth two years ago but she couldn't blame her, she was the one who overlooked Eddie’s suffering.“Can you believe what Mr Lee said to me? He's even more worse than before! I can't believe I fell in love with someone like that” Eddie cursed, her eyes darting around as she paced around her bedroom. Liz was sitting on the sofa, absentmindedly. She was looking at Eddie but her mind was somewhere else. She has to meet up with Min Ho tomorrow, she has too. “What's wrong with you? You know, you've been kind of scatterbrained since we both left the Chinese Imperial restaurant” Eddie’s
"Cut! Pass!” the director yelled, clapping his hands and smiling satisfyingly at the people who walked towards him. “Let's rest for some minutes.” She let out a deep breath as she collected the bottle of water from Liz. She sipped unhurriedly, her throat bobbing as she sips. She handed over the bottle of water back to Liz who threw it to one side. “Tell me, how does it feel to work with Song Go Ra,” Liz said with excitement, her eyes sparkling and she was smiling dazzlingly. “Exhilarating! I mean she's so good and she also complimented me! I'm over the blues!” Eddie did her best to hide her excitement but she was just too elated. Song Go Ra is a favored actress who is three years older than her but her beauty was like that of an angel, dazzling and flourishing. She was a star who debuted at the age of six and it has been twenty-four years since she became an actress. Everyone loves Go Ra, she is loving and nice to a newbie actress like Eddie who got lucky to play a role as Go Ra's
*An hour ago*“Leonard will arrive at the airport by seven?!” the excitement in her voice was evident and a subtle smile appeared on her face as she placed her phone on the couch. She dashed to her room to look for a dress to wear. The last time she saw him was when they both went to pick a dress and he left early that day. She does call him every day to check on him and wasn't fazed by the fact that he never calls her except if the reason is only a business matter. She didn't mind because, to her, Leonard was cold to everyone. He agreed to marry her, that's more than enough for me. She wore a black tank top, denim shorts, and a black coat. A mask covered half of her face, revealing a pair of lovely eyes. She packed her hair in a bun and covered it with a black head warmer. Gaping at her reflection in the mirror, she removed her mask and applied makeup on her face. Anna got to the airport exactly thirty minutes passed six. She covered her face with her mask and got down from the ca
*Seoul International Airport*Min Ho waved his hand at the handsome blonde man who had a weird expression on his face. The blonde man pulled his luggage faster, his eyes brightening up as he recognized the person that was waiting for him. “You must be from Flap Automobile, right?” The blonde man asked and Min Ho nodded his head before helping the blonde man with his luggage. “Hello, Mr. Ethan Brooks. I'm Kim Min Ho by name, nice to meet you” Min Ho said as he walk with Ethan to the car. “Nice to meet you too!” Ethan smiled as he glanced around the bustling area of the airport. This was his first time in South Korea and the feeling he got was great. He doesn't know if he was going to stay in Seoul but he was grateful and lucky he got a great job after staying at home for two years, working in his father's bakery and taking care of his younger siblings. Life had taken a toll on him but he moved on and kept inventing things that would be useful for his family. He didn't know how Flap
And at that moment everyone knew that the filming of the Korean drama, Personal Vendetta will be delayed or canceled permanently. Eddie was shocked when Song Go Ra was arrested for attempted murder, for attempting to murder her! Though there were a million thoughts that she had in mind, she still couldn't believe Song Go Ra could send someone to set her room on fire. Eddie recalled clearly that she went to the Spa with both her and Patty. She came back and ate the meal she thought Liz got for her which made her fall asleep and when she woke up, the room was on fire. It did make sense a little but why would Song Go Ra wants to kill her? Is Go Ra working for her stepmother? Eddie didn't know what to say, she could only stare in disbelief as the men dragged Go Ra and Patty to the bus they came with. The director bursts into tears when he saw that his movie was ruined. First, it was Eddie but now it's two of the best actresses in South Korea. If Eddie was the only one involved in the me
Leah's body was battered brutally and would need to be hospitalized for a few days. She was unconscious when they found her at the uncompleted building with her body seeping with fresh blood. Oh Min U's eyes were filled with tears when she saw Leah's unconscious body. The man that abducted her was an average man from one of the local gangs in the local neighborhood. He was easily recognized as the Lee security organization was more active and secure than the police and prosecution. Of course, they are going to hand him over to the prosecution after finding his accomplice but he has to be punished for kidnapping a member of the Lee family. Leah woke up on the third day, and her minor wound completely healed. She saw Oh Min U beside her bed, his head laying on the hospital bed. Her eyes darkened, tears rolling from her face as she remembered what she went through in the unconscious building. She was only there for two days and her whole body was whipped with a steel-like weapon. Of cour
“CEO Oh, why don't we use the beautiful lady that promoted the main design two years ago at the Palatial auction hall” a young man probably in his mid-thirties suggested, his oval eyes blinking as he awaits the response of Oh Min U, the CEO of Starry exquisite wears. This year's fashion show was postponed till the end of the year due to some reasons and all the workers have been extremely busy because of that. The year was coming to an end, they had to be quick about the preparation of the show. “That seems like a good idea. If we allow her to wear the main design on the runway, it's going to be exemplary, don't you think?”“I will talk to her and get back to you later. We will have a meeting again before the end of the week, be prepared” Oh Min U declared. “About the theme of the event, Mrs. Han should see him before the end of today and Mr. Ji should have a meeting with the finance department.”He stood up after saying that and left with his assistant. “Has she called back?” he
Eddie could only stare at Liz who was smiling sickly at her. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her hand somewhat fiercely. “Hey! What the hell is happening?” She asked, grinding her teeth in anxious worry as her neck grew corded with tension. “Yesterday, someone posted something bad about you and I only found out when I went to the agency” Liz paused, letting out a deep breath as she allowed Eddie to drag her to the sofa. “The brands we signed with wants to terminate your contract and the director wants to change your role. I was agitated, I mean we worked so hard to get here and something bad is happening when it’s not even up to a year. I felt really sad but we got help from your sponsor and everything is back to normal.” “What do you mean got help from my sponsor? You mean Mr. Lee?” her eyes widened in shock. She used her hand to support her hand from falling off. “I owe him one again!” Liz explained to Eddie how Mr. Lee helped her and what the post contained. With a determined look,
Eddie clamped her two hands together, her gaze fixed on them. She was feeling better now and didn't feel like staying home again. Her feet were sore and her face was void of emotion. If what happened didn't happen, she would be at the shooting site filming with Song Go Ra. She reminisced what happened during the last few days and a tear escaped her right eye. She was almost killed and Liz was almost killed too. Was her stepmother that heartless? When she regained her memories, she was disheartened. She had a stepbrother and they got along quite well because they were of the same age but she was a month and a half older than him. Her stepmother was the problem, she made Eddie’s stepbrother compete with Eddie in almost everything and soon they became rivals, both in school and at home. Eddie's mother, Daisy Hemsworth had nothing against her husband's wife because she wasn't interested in her but little did Eddie and her mother knows that ignoring Eddie’s stepmother was going to cha
His eyes darkened as he read the post Min Ho showed him. He scrolled down, his lips curling into a smirk. He returned the phone to Min Ho, raising his brows. “Delete the post and find that Man” he uttered coldly. A post was made online by an anonymous source but it caused tremendous havoc in Seoul. The newbie actress who studied in America, Eddie Hemsworth who was previously involved in a fire accident was said to have set her room up on purpose after taking drugs the night of the incident. The post also said that Eddie was a drug addict and was under treatment. It was so funny that everyone believed this and the number of followers Eddie has decreased drastically. After Min Ho left the office, he called Liz. He knew that Liz cared so much about Eddie and that what was happening currently is a bad thing since Eddie didn't know about it. He had instructed Liz to keep Eddie's phone from her. This was the life of a celebrity, there are always haters who would want to drag them down. N
Logan broadened his eyes, trying to process his thoughts. He was aware that his brother didn't like Anna but what does he mean by he won't get married to her after announcing to the world that they were getting married? He took a sip from his wine, wondering if Leonard was kidding him. But Leonard doesn't joke and the situation right now… is not a situation where both of them could joke. “Hyung” he called, “Seriously, I don't know what to say.” [TN: Hyung is a Korean term for older brother used by males only. Hyung is not only used to call a biological older brother but it could also be used to call a male friend who is older that the junior male.]“I just want you to know. No one knows what the future beholds” Leonard's face was neutral like what he said was something that won't surprise anyone. He doesn't know why he told Logan his intention but it's good if he’s aware. They never had a real conversation for two years. But when Logan was in America, their relationship was better t
