“We meet again,” she remarked, holding out her hand. “I’m Jenna. Jenna Park.”
Alya was hesitant to shake her hand. The woman was quite attractive with her dark hair parted to her side. She wore a high necked beige dress which parted downwards to show her heavy cleavage and she was wearing a pair of dazzling beige earrings. Her dress was perfectly hugging her voluptuous curves and her smooth skin was expertly dabbed with makeup. Compared to her, Alya felt underdressed.
Jenna looked at her from head to toe. “Nice dress,” she commented.
She masked her comment with sarcasm but she knew her insult wa

Jason stiffened at the sight of the loathful duo while Cain simply sipped water from his glass. If there was something common between the cousins, it was their dislike of this particular pair.“Who the hell are they?” Alina muttered at Jason. Alya also leaned in close to them.“Why am I getting bad vibes from them?” she whispered.“I’ll tell you two later but right now, keep up the act,” Jason muttered back at them. The couple who just entered were in their fifties. Aaron had blue eyes like Jason and Cain with the same oval face as his son. In fact, he looked a lot similar to Cain with the same hair except for the age lines on his face.Dahlia, on the other hand, was a

Jason was wincing inwardly but he knew that the damn butler was up to something. Yang had sent the food list specifically as per Alya’s preference. There was no way that Yang would include only non-vegetarian dishes.Austin had been loyal to the Tang’s for years and was one of Cain’s most trusted men. There was no doubt that after hearing Yang’s instructions, Austin had manipulated the list to make grandpa Max believe that Alya loved meat dishes. But if Alya refused to eat, it would be an insult to Max because for him, food was a sacred thing. Anyone refusing to eat in his household would fall in his eyes.I’ll have to deal with this, Jason decided.“Come on, honey,” he said, trying to mimic a sweet tone. “Say ahhh!&rdquo

Alya was nervous. Sharing a room with Jason was making her fidget. She glanced at him as they walked up the stairs but he seemed to be unfazed by it. One of the maids had escorted Alina to another bedroom so it made the mermaid even more nervous to be staying the night with Jason.Her heart was beating very fast. Jason did not seem to notice her predicament. He was leading her to his room without much care.“This is it,” he said. They stopped in front of a large mahogany door. He pushed it open for her.“Woah!” Alya exclaimed. The entire room was divided into two segments. The main bedroom was separated by a sliding door while the rest of the room was a fireplace. Unlike the rest of the mansion, Jason’s room had a blue ambience. The walls were p

Alya had just finished her swim and gotten out of the pool, her tail changing back to her legs. She was about to grab a towel from a chair nearby when the door opened and someone walked in.“Alya, I told you to go to sleep-” Jason was saying as he opened the door. Alya froze and spun around to find him staring at her in shock. His face was becoming redder and even she was feeling highly embarrassed.“Y-y-y-y-you…” he stammered. Alya also stared back at him in horror and quickly grabbed a towel to cover herself.“WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NAKED?” he yelled. Jason immediately turned around to not look at her anymore. His whole face had heated up and he was at a loss. He slept with many women and saw them naked in bed.

Cain was in the car with his father Aaron while Malorie sat in the front seat with the chauffeur. Aaron was addressing his son, talking about an important business deal.“Jenna’s father, James Park, is not happy with the delay in the wedding,” Aaron was saying. “He’s given an ultimatum. Until the wedding takes place, he’ll not be investing in our company anymore.”“The engagement already took place!” Cain groaned. “What else does he want? The wedding will happen eventually.”“It’s been two years since then!” Aaron scolded his son. “You know how important this money is to us! They’re saving us from bankruptcy, Cain. If you keep delaying the wedding-”

Alya slowly entered the HR department. Unlike the rest of the building, the HR department was closed off and isolated from all other departments. There was only one window while the large space was divided into glass cubicles for the employees.There was a small break room at one end while a waiting area was set up next to it. The walls were coated with blue pastel paint which reminded her of the sea but the shade was much lighter. A faint scent of coffee and gum lingered in the air and even though it was not unpleasant, Alya scrunched her nose in annoyance. It was not a smell she was very fond of.She quickly scanned through the glass doors on her way. There were a handful of people in the cubicles, busy poring over stacks of documents or typing away on their laptops. No one spared a glance at her as she made her way towards o

“Intern, get me my coffee!”“Intern, where are the threads I asked for?”“Where’s my sandwich?”Alya was at a loss. Orders were coming in from everyone and she was confused by the barrage of demands. Since morning, she had been dealing with this on her own and messed up many of the orders.“I wanted an Americano, not a latte!” one of the employees complained.“A-Americano?” Alya stammered. What was that?“Get it right!” the employee barked at her. Alya sighed which was heard by the employee who was shouting at her.

*Three Years Later*Jason was pacing back and forth outside the operation theater. His heart was anxious but thankfully, it was not in pain like the other times. However, it was extremely cold thanks to what was going on inside.“Relax uncle!”He looked around to see a spunky eleven year old girl with long, curly hair and the same blue eyes as him. Alina had a growth spurt over the past three years. She was now almost reaching his shoulder.“Aunt Alya will be fine!” she told him. “If you get too anxious, she’ll only panic.”“I can’t help it!” he scowled. “And kids shouldn’t be here! Why aren’t you at school?”

The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Its lights fell on the series of tombstones in the graveyard. Colorful flowers were blooming all around the family which was standing next to a pair of graves with a shared tombstone. Despite the nice weather, the family was solemn as they paid their respects. The tombstone had a writing on it:“Here lies Sheila and Charles Wang. Loving parents and good people. Date 19XX to 20XX”Max dabbed his eyes, lamenting the loss of his granddaughter and her husband. Cain and Jason told him that they died in a car crash and also revealed that Alina is Sheila’s daughter who was being taken care of by her uncle and his fiance. Jason and Cain stood on his sides with their lovers. Alina was kneeling in front of her parents’ graves, silently crying.“I miss you

Alina woke up in the hospital. She was heavily sedated; Jenna’s beating had caused her arm to be fractured.“Alya...sis…” she mumbled.“I’m here.”The girl’s eyes flung open and she was delighted to see that Alya was there with her.“You’re here…” she whispered, reaching out for Alya. Alya smiled and took her hand.“I am. You should rest.”“How long have I been here?”“Almost two weeks,” Alya said. “You were badly hurt by Jenna.”“But...Aunt Jenna

Jason and Cain sped towards the factory. Cain was on the phone with his men, giving them instructions.“My men just informed me that Heath Seo was spotted outside that factory we’re heading to,” Cain told him. “How did you know he’d be there?”“I just do,” Jason muttered. Cain was suspicious but he did not ask anything else. He had filled in Jason about what happened at the Tang mansion that morning and even though Jason was tense, he was also worried about Maxwell.“Looks like grandfather took this well,” he muttered.“Well, he never really liked my mother in the first place so he wasn’t too sad seeing her leave,” Cain remarked. They were now about to leave the main city but the factory was st

Jason pulled up in front of a restaurant when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation in his heart.“Agh!” he winced when his chest became cold. He was gasping for breath and closed his eyes to lay his head on the steering wheel.“What the hell?” he muttered. “Why is that sensation happening again?”He touched his heart and it was colder than the earlier attacks. Jason was sure that it was a warning sign and that Alya was in immense danger. Flashes of her running through the rain were popping in his head.“Why is she outside?” he whispered. He was so engrossed in his pain that he did not notice a familiar Maybach pulling up behind his car. There was a knock on his window and to his surprise, it was Cain.

*Few Hours Ago*Monty arrived at the place where Jenna called him. It was a narrow alley located within an industrial area where several factories were meshed together. The buildings were in a series of rows, put side by side. A small dockyard was situated at the end of the place where a few ships were anchored.The workers had gone home for the day because the sun was setting. The gloomy clouds hovered in the sky, indicating that it was going to rain that night. Monty looked around for Jenna and finally spotted her standing a few meters away. He slowly walked towards her.“You called for me?” he asked.Jenna was wearing a pair of large sunglasses and she took them off to examine him.“Did you fi

Malorie quietly followed Cain to the patio and waited for him to talk. He was quiet for a while before turning to face her.“You should have told me about this,” he began. “That my mom was threatening you. We could have worked something out.”“I wanted to find our child first,” she replied in a small tone. “If I had told you, she might have gotten alerted and killed Billy. I couldn’t take the risk.”Cain stared at her for a while before sighing. “We’re both idiots,” he muttered. “We talk about being on our own but in the end, we let my parents manipulate us…”Malorie was staring at her fingers, unable to understand what to do. So many things had happened and it was going too fast.

Dahlia was hosting her regular afternoon tea with the socialites at her home. As a tradition, she hosted these gatherings every week with the elite class women so that she could increase her network and influence. Despite the setback with the wedding, she was now more determined to match Cain up with someone even more influential than Jenna.“Mrs. Wang, I hear that your daughter Catherine is coming back to town!” Dahlia was saying. They were sitting in the living room, sipping tea and having cakes. Butler Austin put the trays of food in front of them and stood aside.“She is,” Mrs. Wang replied. “For a business deal.”“I hear that she is now a very renowned interior decorator,” Dahlia remarked. “Maybe we should have her over for dinner sometime next week?
