Leah took a sip out of the juice she was drinking. She glanced over at Logan who looked pale like a lifeless body. He has been that way since Leonard and Eddie left for Spain four days ago. They were both jobless for now but Leah was always with her friends since her brother left but Logan has been staying at home, drinking and sleeping alone. Leah knew Logan to be an unserious fellow who jokes with everything but seeing him like this worries her. Love is indeed hopeless, she thought as she went back through her phone. Her phone chimed almost immediately and an email message popped up at the notification center of the phone. She gritted her teeth when she saw that the message was from the law firm she will be working with when she get to Korea. She didn’t choose the law firm but her grandfather had chosen where she will work at since she graduated. She has been living in America since childhood all alone with her twin brother and their nanny. She had learnt how to choose decisions th
EDDIE'S POVOkay… so I would like to ask this silly question! Is Mr Lee in love with me or I’m in love with him? He has been acting weird since the day he caught me playing with Dustin and maybe it’s my wishful thinking, I think he’s jealous of Dustin. I could recall how he rubbed my hand the day I handed him a cup of coffee and how he keeps moving closer to me, breathing his hot breath on me… I’m going to drown in all these, seriously! But what bothers me is him acting like nothing happened and talking to me like what he did was normal. I had tried several times to tell myself that he wasn’t doing it intentionally cause I don’t think there’s a reason for him to do it, he probably couldn’t fall for someone like me but seeing how he smirks whenever his hand brushes mine and how he moves closer to my body, I’m thinking he’s doing it deliberately. Why?! Do I look like some porcelain doll he can treat anyhow?! I’m going to stop all this by confronting him after we are back from meeting t
Eddie didn’t like going to parties but because of Dustin, she has to attend the birthday party. Dustin came from a rich family but he never mentioned his siblings or relatives to Eddie. At first, Eddie thought she won’t be able to fit in the party since it’s the party of the wealthy people but she had already told Dustin she would come with him and besides, Leonard will be her date. She didn’t know if she was excited or curious but she was somehow happy Leonard chose to go because of her. She rummaged her luggage to search for a dress, hoping to find something good and suitable for the event. She heard a knock on the door as she continues looking for a dress. She stood up to walk to the door, dragging her feet and her hands on her waist. “Oh it’s you, Marco.”Marco is one of the men that works for Dustin. When Eddie first came with Leonard, she thought Marco looked like a tout cause of his visible tattoos but then why would a tout work as servant here? It doesn’t sound right! But
He held her right hand as they walked to the entrance of the spiffy building. He was putting on a black tuxedo suit and the lady he was holding wore a blue knee length free gown. A bouquet of flower was held by the lady. They both looked like celebrities but the man aura was too intimidating, he looked like a Mafia lord. Eddie felt her hand being held tighter as they walked towards the security guards. The guards didn’t check Leonard’s card but they bowed their heads before making way for him. They walked towards a glass door that was ornamented with beautiful flowers. A large banner was above the door which read: ‘Happy birthday Luciana. The Venue has been moved to the tenth hall.’They walked till they reached the tenth hall, hands in hands and the atmosphere a little tensed. Eddie could swear that Leonard was pinching her hand but when she looked at his face, he was just staring blankly. Eddie didn’t know what to feel but something inside of her keeps telling her that Leonard like
Eddie had a dream while she was sleeping in the car. In the dream, she saw herself… her younger self sitting by a pool. In that dream, she was putting on a blue swimming trunk and her leg was inside the water. She suddenly raised her head when she noticed someone’s presence. The person’s face was blurry but she smiled at the person before waving her right hand.“Hi, why are…”She was suddenly pushed into the pool by the person she was waving at.She woke up in the car sweating profusely as if she just saw a ghost. Her breathes came out wearily as she recalled the last time she had this dream. It was before her mother died and then she was preparing to go to college. But after her mother’s death, Eddie stopped having those nightmares, she had forgotten about it totally. Hard knot constricted in her throat making it hard to breath. She shifted her gaze to the front seat, her heart beating rapidly as she saw Dustin in the car. He was fast asleep but for some reason Eddie developed a
EDDIE'S POVWe arrived at the airport two days after Luciana’s birthday. Logan came to pick us up. I could barely see his eyes as he was smiling broadly. I spun and high fived him before he doved in for a hug. “Hi big bro” he greeted his brother who seem a little distant since we got down from the plane. We left Spain the evening after Luciana’s birthday and we got to America the second day. He had a phone call before Logan arrived and his mood has changed since then. His eyes seemed darker and he seems to be absentminded. Logan also noticed this when he greeted him, Leonard didn’t respond but instead entered the car.I sat with Logan at the front seat, discussing things about what happened. Of course, I didn’t tell him about his brother. I only mentioned Dustin and how he treated me. Logan is a sure good listener. Even though I was becoming boring, he still listened to me and ask me questions about Spain. I really didn’t tour Spain but I will do so someday in the future.We fina
The sky was gradually becoming bright.She held unto her bag tightly, sobbing and beating her bag. She was stupid? So stupid that she allowed herself to be tricked. She’s going to harm herself if she stays longer than a hour here. She already called Liz but she’s still feeling sick inside. Mr Lee was a scumbag that she don’t want to withstand anymore. He made her believe that they slept together, he tricked her into being his live in assistant, he made her fall endlessly for him and now he’s pushing her away with his words. She slapped him that time and he didn’t flinch nor did he say anything. He didn’t stop her when she ran away crying too! Why was he like that to her? Was he not the one who made her heart fluttered? Was he not the one who comforted het when they were in the plane? When he moved closer to her, when he brushed his hand against hers, when he held her hand tightly and made her fall asleep on his shoulder in the plane, what the hell did he want when he did all that?!Ed
“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
*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
