Celine's POV
I was in a very uncomfortable position. Junhui and I met to converse about our deals before, however, Minghao and I found out that the tea, prepared by the head maid, was drugged. The young lord of the house dashed out of his office room as soon as he realized the betrayal he experienced. He said he'll catch the culprit right away. Yet after some minutes, he went back at his office.
But he didn't come through the door.
Groid Choi, the third leader of HongYoonChoi. He's a stern man who can compete with Himalayas with his cold attitude. Some called him Armeria Maritina, a kind of flower that grows on a cliff which no one can pick. That's suitable nickname for an ignorant person like him. But unknown to many, Groid Choi once appeared vulnerable in front of the woman he loved. In fact, she was the only one who tamed the icy cold strict man, who always goes by the book.However, situation didn't allow him to be together with his special someone.
"Take me to your garden.""Huh?""Please, lead me on the way to your garden."Ever since the Yoon siblings visited Junhui's place, Junhui realized that the Kentoki flower has story behind it. He asked Hoshi to investigate his father's intention for planting the flower on his garden, but unfortunately, the answer they got was vague.Junhui stared at the lady sitting across his seat.
Celine's POVThe reason why uncle Harvhey was very fond of me, that he had to look after the traitor's daughter for a very long time, is now clear. It isn't just because he and my father were very close at each other, but also because of my mom.'That's why uncle Harvhey looked at me that way, dearly and regretful.'It seems he and my mom had a relationship before my father came into the picture. But at the image I saw, mother told dad that
When Mingyu received a call from Joshua's penthouse, saying that Kole is looking for him, he left his post and hurriedly went to his sister.As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the house, he saw one of the maids who's looking over the two women in that place. The tall man with tanned skin that shone like light bronze under the sun, and Spartan shoulders which spoke of strength, leaned his hands on his knees as he huffed raspy breaths. He lifted his head and asked her, “Where is she?”"Miss Kole is waiting for you at her room."
Wonwoo's POV They are only three reasons for me to spend a huge sum of my wealth. First, if it will help me ease my boredom. Second, if my business will benefit on it. Third, to gain connections to other people. But today, I spent a lot just because Celine asked me to lend her some. Inside my office, I couldn't count how many times I've been walking around while feeling so anxious. It was not because I'm afraid that Celine won't pay back, but solely because I'm worried about her. "What takes her so long?" I murmured after stopping for a moment. She told me that she will meet me in my restaurant after spending my money. I'm not sure where she'll spend it but I guess it has something to do with her position as the traitor's daughter. Unknowingly, the day felt very long. I heard that the higher up members of HongYoonChoi were summoned for a meeting, along with the heirs and the leaders. It’s obvious that today’s agenda wi
A young boy with pitch black hair, stood near the Hong's Garden. His white skin contrasted with his red lips gorgeously, and even his black eyes were mysterious. Everyone called the kid “A robot” - someone who has no emotions. But that boy, that young boy who wants to gain nothing, looked at a certain young girl very differently. He's staring at her as if he saw the whole world for the first time."Joshua?" the girl called, looking for someone with the eyes that was filled with someone else.
Celine’s POV To prove that my guess isn’t wrong, I went to my old apartment to look for my father’s necklace. After he died, I stored his belongings inside a box. I took it with me when I moved out of Mingyu’s place, to my apartment. “I found it!” I celebrated when I found the box inside my cabinet. I quickly opened the box to search for the black case where I kept my father’s necklace. As soon as I saw it, I dusted the case and opened it in hurry. As far as I can remember, father and I shared a matching necklace with different size. I couldn’t recall when was the time he bought these, though. Anyway, the shape of my necklace is silver pentagon with hole at the upper part. Meanwhile, the design of my father’s is a rectangular silver with sharp edges on each side. Back then, I just thought that our necklace designs are very odd. I removed my necklace and placed it nea

The apartment's bathroom has size of 34 square feet, with a sink, a toilet bowl and a shower installed inside. 'It was enough for two people,'Celine said in her head, even though she never imagined she'll take a bath with someone in the same time and same space. She was now in a state of so excited, so nervous, so nearly hysterical, that she was hardly able to control herself. "Hey." As she heard the familiar husky voice behind, her pulse began to thumploudly — quick beats. She quickened her pace, feeling the beginning of an absurd nervous in her limbs. Soon,
