"Gosh!" Yoori yelled the moment she tried to sit on the bed. She was so tired, and her whole body burned. Yawning, she rubbed her eyes and looked at that particular place beside her; it was empty. She ran her hands over the sheets, hoping for the warmth to rub over her palms, but the place was cold. It seemed like he had woken up a bit early.The phone rang, bringing her to her senses. A thousand missed calls were displayed on her screensaver. What astonished her more was that the calls weren't from the same person but from different people. Most of them were the many business friends she had met in the few years she has been living in Bradley City.Her eyes also caught a particular group name, which made her heart skip a bit. "The worldwide gossip group." She gasped, jumped from the bed, and opened her computer. "God, has Kelvin lied again?" She couldn't believe it. Fear gripping her heart, she screamed the first name that came to her mouth, and a handsome figure, tying an apron over
Yoori stared at Jas with her mouth wide open. "What do you mean by wanting to tell me about my real parents?" She asked, sucking a deep breath. "I mean the people who gave birth to you, not the ones who took care of you all your life." He sighed. Yoori had been telling him since they met that the people who took care of her since she was born may not be her real parents because of how they treated her, and he always asked her not to think that way. It was so heartbreaking that he was the one who had to break such bad news to her. "Listen, babe," he stroked her face, "my dad wanted to see me, right?" He is the one who told me all this. He claimed that he knew about your parents because they had been friends for a long time, and he is the one who knows who your real parents are."So where are they?" I would like to meet them. "Please, Jas," she begged."Of course we will go and look for them, honey, but you should know that we will only be looking for your mother be
"Which part of the world did she take her to?" Jas asked the nurse. The news that Yoori's mother was still alive and had been flown to City X sent a new wave of hope surging through him.Yoori, on the other side, was so happy that she couldn't control her tears. Just a moment ago she was sad, thinking she would never see her mother again, but that confession made her happy, and she was left feeling like the luckiest being on earth at that hour. According to Jas's dad, her mother had never seen her because the moment she was born, her aunt had stole her, and that's what bothered her. How will her mother recall her if she has never seen her? When she opened her eyes to see the world after she was born, she met her aunt's eyes staring down at her, and she had been referring to her as her mother since then. She knew it would be impossible for her real mother to know who she was, but she still hoped she would recognise her."They say blood is thicker than water." "I hope our blood will con

This was Yoori's dream too. She found her perfect man, planned their perfect wedding, and got the perfect venue for their ceremony.Everything went as planned until vowe's time. Murmurs broke in the crowd as everyone's phones bleeped. A video of her shagging another man in a hotel room the day before their wedding went viral. The crowd gasped, and walked out of the venue one by one, leaving only her (the bride
A year laterYoori sat on a black leather chair backing the glassy walls, which displayed the entire view of the city. The sun was about to set outside, so a pinkish ray of the sun streamed in. With her nose buried in the file in her hands, she read with so much concentration, marking some important parts with a green light highlighter.After a while, she stretched her numb body and closed her drowsy eyes as she listened to the sound of her bones creaking. Oh my gosh! It had been so long since I had visited my yoga classes. " She murmured, walking towards the glass walls. She sipped on the hot black coffee in her hands and moaned at its sweet taste as she raised her head to take a glimpse of the sky.Rays of pink and orange have spread across the previously clear bluish sky, signifying the setting of the sun, marking the end of the day. She dragged her chair towards the walls, sat comfortably, swinging on it. She raised her long leg on top of the other, then rested her back on the sea
Jas sat beside the bed, his eyes following the heaving of Yoori's chest. His pleasure doll had passed out before he was done with her. Shaking his head, he grabbed the cuilts and covered her bare body. Half an hour had passed since she lost consciousness. He tried to wake her up, but when he failed, he carried her home. Thank goodness they knew the inside and outside of each other's houses. It wasn't hard for him to fish out her house keys from their hiding place."I'll be gentle next time, I promise." He whimmed against her left ear. He had been making the promise to her every single day, but there wasn't a day he fulfilled it. There was no way he could control himself with her. The way she always managed to take him in was something that made him lose his mind and forget his promise."Mmh!" Yoori moaned, shifting on the other side. Jas contemplated whether he should proceed and bathe her or let her sleep like that. Yoori was a hygiene freak. She always made sure she took a warm show
"Noo!" Yoori screamed, jumping off her bed. The warm quilt covering her body slipped and a cold breeze hit her. Massaging her temples gently, she walked towards the mini-refrigerator at the left corner of her room and took a half-litre of water bottle. She gulped down its contents in a go and slumped on the cold tiled floor.It had been a year since that bad dream haunted her again. All throughout her day, she only had one wish. To forget that incident as soon as possible. She woke up from the floor to avoid sinking into it. She walked to the bathroom for a cold shower. Cold showers have been like medicine to her.She remained rooted in place as the cold water poured down on her. The burning effect on her heart started to fade away as warm tears streamed down her flushed chubby cheeks. "Paley!" She whisphred and covered her mouth almost immediately.Why would she think of him yet again when she had promised herself to get over him? "Perhaps you still love him." Her sub-conscious mind
After Yoori's private plane landed at the City X International Airport, she donned her black facemask, dove from the plane, and exited. She pulled her collars up and tightened her black scarf around her neck. With her hands shoved deep in her trouser pockets, she turned her face away from the biting winds and strode towards the black SUV that awaited her."Miss Yoori, do we go to the hotel first or meet with Sir D'wain?" Her assistant asked from behind. Sir D'wain was the tycoon they had entered into a business deal with."We have two hours before meeting him." "We should go to the hotel, refresh ourselves, and then meet him later on after lunch." She replied as the car drove away.Two hours later, Yoori and her assistant, Kelvin, sat patiently on the top floor of D'Wain Designs Enterprises, waiting for him. Half an hour later, he walked in, two well-dressed men trailing behind him. One on the left carried a black briefcase, while the one on the right came empty-handed. Judging from h
