Kinslee took a menu book from the counter and went to the table outside the restaurant.He handed the menu to a group of a woman which is he believes just returned from their workplace.After he handed the menu, he went to the counter and took a water jug with him. Politely, he poured the water and served it to all the ladies.All of them smiling and giggling seeing him. He was the most handsome among the other waitress. He's a bit famous around the girl in that town when he moves in.When he put down a glass of water to one woman with long and wavy hair, the woman said to him."You should put on ice on your wrist. It might reduce the lines." The woman smiles a bit, looking at him.Kinslee startles a moment. But then he plastered on a smile and said gently. "Thank you for your advice."She lifts up his glass a bit before she continues to chat with her friend.After taking the order, he went to the kitchen and passed the order paper.His day was busy until he had no time to check on hi
"So, you're suggesting to change her face?" Asher asks."No, that'll be too risky. I will never put Athena's life in danger. Besides, surgery means losing blood. Losing blood means, shorten life. So that is total no." Zayne shot him a severe look.Asher nods in understanding."It's okay. I'll protect you no matter what." He said to Athena and stroke her hair gently to try to assure her."Then, I'll tighten the system. Upgrading your weapon and make sure when you go out, bring your emergency button. Okay, princess?" he smiles before turning to Asher."As long as no rat is running around my basement, there should be no problem."Asher smirking looking at him. 'Ahh~ he knows that it was me, eh?'Athena's scrunching her eyebrow. "Huh? Rat?"He ruffles her hair and wears his bag. "Yeah, big and black rat. If only I could kill that rat, my life would be much better. I'll see you again.""Hmm..alright. Take care."***.......After Athena sleeps at night, Asher went to Zayne's house. Knocking
She furiously storms to him and grabs his collar."Don't you dare to have another woman," she said, making him gulp a bit.'She's gonna kill me!'Kinslee didn't say anything as he stands still looking at her. After a few moments, he grabs her hand and releases it from his shirt."I'm tired, and I have no mood to bickering with you." he passed by her and went to the bathroom.In the bathroom, he keeps thinking about whether he wants to try that option out or not.He feels like that is her weakness. She can't stand if he is having an affair. And mostly every woman will ask for a divorce because of this matter, right? It's an excellent opportunity to try but…will it hurt her? What if she really hurt and not only that, what if she kills him instead? He still wants to live.Sighing, he finishing his bath and went to bed.Aurora went to bed a bit later than usual. She stayed in the living hall. Knowing that Kinslee probably won't go down, she went upstairs and found that Kinslee is already a
France,Hyejin went to the luxurious high-class bar in the middle of the city. She just finishes her concert, and she thought that she wants to chill a bit at the bar, clearing her mind, which seems messy ever since she met with Asher last time.She was still sad with what Asher told her in the Imperial City. She hasn't contacted him for almost half a month now. She was really depressed, and her performance was a bit affected too.She starts to feel a bit tipsy after drinking four alcohol glasses before there is one man with a formal black suit sitting next to her."I heard Mr. Asher are no longer a single man. Poor you, young lady." the man start.Hyejin immediately turns to look at the man who sits next to her. He's a bit older, maybe in his forties or something. As far as she knows, the marriage between the two has never been announced to the public. How is that this man knows about Asher's marriage with Athena?That man smirks a bit, knowing what's in the lady's mind. "Relax... I'm
"Mhm? Isn't it because he was not home, and you're lonely?"Athena smile faintly. She went to the couch on the side of the room and relaxed for a bit."Ahh~ my ex-lover is really sharp." Athena moves to the couch at the side of the practice room.Zayne laughs a little. He also went to the couch and, take a seat beside her. He lifts her chin up and turns her face to look at him."I'm not only your ex-lover. I've been your listener since we were kids. And that's weird though you are only talkative when you're with me. I wonder why.." he squints his eyes a little, hoping that Athena will answer him.Slap his hand slowly, she also laughs a bit. "That's because you're a nerd, and you had no friend at all. Your other name is weird, like, Zoro? Such a waste. You have a good looking, but nerd and your name make you have no friend.""Hmm, true. That's my stupid father's fault. And that's is the reason too why my mom is divorcing him once I was a month old, and I've been raised up in Korea for a
Asher opens his eyes, which is feeling a bit heavy. His head feels like he's been hit by something. He groans and pinches his forehead a little."Mmm.."A moaning sound from beside him makes him jolt a bit; Asher sits up and turns to look at his side.Hyejin?! Hyejin was lying beside him??! He lowered his gaze and look at his body. Gulp! No clothes. He flips the comforter. Fuck! He's totally naked. He runs his eyes around the room and saw his clothes are scattered on the floor. He rubs his face a few times.He tries to remember what happened last night, but there is no clue at all. His mind is totally blank.Suddenly there is a loud knock on the door, he thought its a hotel service team. He shakes Hyejin's arm to wake up, but just when she wakes up, they have been ambush by a group of reporters and paparazzi.Their picture has been taken when both of them still on the bed; naked. A bunch of questions from the reporter and paparazzi makes him out of control."Get out! Get out, or I sue
He wipes her body with a damp towel and changes her clothes. Tug her with the comforter to cover her body, he kisses her forehead for a while."I'm sorry," he said, and after that, he went to the bathroom. He takes a shower and leans on the cold wall for a relatively long time.After seeing the bloodstain and the semen on the bedsheet, he waits for Hyejin to come out from the bathroom.He brings Hyejin to the hospital since she said her lower part was hurt, and she seems like she was in shock.The doctor confirms that her condition looks like she was raped. So she will stay at the hospital for a few days. The semen sample from the bed sheet also has been taken for confirming the DNA.All the investigation has been doing in secretly. So that the news is not leaking out to the public.However, the picture of them together this morning has been spread out like a wildfire. The reporters also print the news on the paper.Even the news has been filtering by the agency, the talk among netizen
After Asher calms down a bit, he went to sit at the chair, and Athena sits on the armrest laying her hand on the back of Asher's body."Hyejin, whatever happened last night, I am really sorry. I will face the media and make an apology statement. Clearing your name. I'll take the blame." Asher tries to control his voice to be calm."It's okay, Asher, my career is not that important. I can still make a living. They will forget about it in a month or two." she said while sniffling a bit."How about..you guys announce your relationship as a couple? I think it is not an issue. I mean, we live in a modern age, sleeping with boyfriend or girlfriend is normal these days." Athena gives a suggestion.Asher startled by what he just heard. He immediately turns his gaze to Athena."No! I disagree! I'm married, and you're my wife. I don't wanna telling lies to people out there." Asher's rejecting her idea boldly.Hyejin wipes the corner of her eyes, "It's okay, Athena, we just friend. We're not goin
A beautiful song played by great artists and pianists. All that comes today were so happy to see the prince and his bride getting married.Asher and Athena went to their wedding by private with Zayne and Rachael. While Kinsl
"Rachel Lu, let me propose to you properly this time.""Z...You don't have to-"
Two hours later,Kinslee and Aurora arrive at the hotel rooftop. They have a small party at the top of the hotel and have a barbeque too.
"Nngh…" Rachael groans a bit. She starts waking up when she feels like someone is shaking her body and crying at her side. She could hear a familiar voice calling her name so many times."Z…Is…is that you?" Her throat feels so dry, and she couldn't speak with a
Athena scrunches her eyebrow. She heard every single word that Asher utter just now, and she was so touched to hear that. The confession that supposedly happened years ago on Lu's island is now being said by the man she loves.Without noticing, her tears flow down on her cheek.
"Sobs…Sobs…Ash!…Ash, wake up!""Ash…Please..open your eyes. I beg you.." Athena's tears were dripping down while she pumped Asher's heart using both of her hands.
Took the device that Athena handed to him. He immediately went to Eric which is still on the floor, trying to pull his hand from nailed on the floor by Athena's katana.Athena took another katana on the floor and threw it to Asher before Asher used it to cut Eric's hand.
Bam!Athena grunting and scrunches her eyebrow a bit. She has just been thrown by her husband to the hard floor without any warning from him.
"He planned on killing all of you," Asher told Athena of what Eric planned from the beginning.Scrunch her eyebrow and keep the act, Athena asked, "Ugh….why?"
