Almond couldn't stay still after she figured it out that it was her who accidentally spilled out the secret about the traitor's daughter. Sure she can blame it on the alcohol, because she was drunk that night when she met Murgine Choi by coincidence. But she knew that there will be more trouble in the future just because of her carelessness.
Shocking news came one after another. First, the emergency meeting of the HongYoonChoi members. Second is the marriage between Joshua and Celine.
Almond wanted her gone, but if Celine will wed with Joshua, she knows who will get furious in this, better than anyone else. Jeonghan and Seungcheol's threatened her before, she can clearly remember how frightening the two were while telling her to stay out of their business in regarding of Celine. However, with how the situations turned like this, she knew she messed up.
Murgine's father was killed during the meeting
As soon as Jeonghan entered his father’s office, he threw the wedding invitation above the desk. Kloper, while clutching his hands together, looked at the paper and to his son. “A letter exclusively for you, dad,” Jeonghan murmured. “You’re drinking?” “It should be past tense. I drank last night in order to fall asleep, father.” “It seems you haven’t sobered yet. Seeing how mad you are even though I should be the one who display such hostility in front of you, my son.” “Please forgive me, dad. You know,” Jeonghan let out a long pause. He, then, brushed his hair and licked the corner of his lips before he continue. “I’m in the verge of getting really crazy. So I hope you’ll understand me.” Kloper unfolded his fingers and picked up the rose quartz and serenity paper on the table. When he opened it, he read the contents of the
“Is it only me? Because I really think that everyone is avoiding me?” Dokyeom asked. The Wen’s heir, Junhui, started his morning with a cozy breakfast. There was a sonorous silence around the dining room while he enjoyed his salad, not until someone spoke up from behind. Gradually turning back, Junhui looked at the protesting man. Dokyeom, along with Seungkwan and Hoshi, are standing at the heir’s back, for it is their roles as servants. But noticeably, Hoshi and Seungkwan are standing way too far from Dokyeom; as if he has a contagious disease that he, himself, isn’t aware of. It all started when Dokyeom drank the Gileg drug that put him in half-conscious state and made him VERY honest, which brought trouble in the end. Unfortunately, Dokyeom couldn’t remember everything that he said during the day he was under the influence of the drug, and therefore he’s so confused why Hoshi and Seungkwan are acting indifferently towards him. ‘Did I do something disgraceful when I was half-co
Eugene and Almond didn’t part their ways after she gave Eugene’s wallet back. In fact, she’s been waiting for this day when they can meet each other again; which made her feel so weird because she never feel excited in meeting another man besides Seungcheol. ‘Wasn’t it because he’s eye catching and unique?’ Almond defended herself. The two are inside the car. Eugene is sitting on the driver’s seat while Almond took the back seat. Their positions are exactly just like the positions they were in, during the night Eugene brought her back home. Somehow, she felt the tingling sensation of embarrassment from the tip of her toes and up to her scalp. Not only she displayed her drunkard state, she also remembered crying in front of him. “I didn’t know that the young lady Almond is too generous to bring personally bring my wallet,” Eugene started the conversation. Almond looked at his face through the front mirror. There she saw his thick brows, alluring eyes and gorgeous smile. ‘He’s rea
Joshua opened his eyes after a long nap. He felt lazy and tired which aren't suit for someone who loves to be productive every day. Sure he's not as energetic as other people can imagine, but he's so surprised that he'll wish that he wanted to go back sleeping even when he just woke up.With confusing thoughts, Joshua closed his eyes and remembered some parts of his dream. His heavy eyelids shook and his dark brown eyes appeared again. He moved his head slowly towards the opened lamp at his right side, and at the window at his left. Seeing the dark sky through the glass window, he wondered how many hours or days he's been on his bed.Tak. Tak. Tak.When he heard the sound of the droplets of water, his eyes went to the bah to an intravenous line. It was then he felt the tingling displeasure on his left arm, where a thin tube was administered into one of his veins.‘Now I know why I feel sleepy,’ he laughed at himself.Moment before he passed out, he remembered feeling a jab of pain squ
Eugene forced Minghao to walk around the Hong Mansion, even if he memorized every crooks of the place.“And then after that, he found out that the father of his wife’s baby is actually his best friend’s. I was so surprised when I heard this, ”Eugene shared story that he heard from his other friend.Although Minghao is keeping his unflurried expression while listening about a story that he's interested, fact is he's getting more annoyed at Eugene as time passes. He couldn't believe that the man he wanted to defeat in terms of physical battle will be this talkative.Minghao still thinks that Eugene is superior when it comes to fighting skills. He respected him for that. But if he continues talking non-stop, Minghao might have lost his ability to hear. His ears went hot and his brain kept on shielding useless information to process.“Oh Bradd Pitt!” Eugene greeted the butler who walked stopped in front of them with a bow.Bradd Pitt? Minghao tilted his head at the name of the mansion’s s
Inside a luxurious bar, Seungcheol is sitting on a chair placed at the counter. He hanged out alone in the corner, knocking back drinks just for the sake of being not sober. He slurred more, until his eyes turned glossy. He drifted his sight around the dim room, as his gaze floats around the surroundings. His mouth that was always pursed, because he is not the talkative guy, is hang open ever so slightly. And when he smiled, it is more broadly that he would if he is sober.After finishing a bottle of strong liquor, his head throbbed in pain. The purpose for drinking tonight is to make his senses numb, so he can forget the painful experience he has this morning. But as he was intoxicated at the alcohol, he broke down into comprehensible misery, remembering the hatred that Celine showed when she found out about her future wedding with his friend, Joshua.[“Didn’t you want me here because you want it to be the last? Did you touch me because it’s the end? Did you?!”][“Let me go,”][“Ple
Wonwoo was waiting for his step-sister’s arrival. He’s loitering around the Jeon’s mansion entrance for hours, since the sun was up and after the dusky dawn. With the wedding invitation on his hand, he walked back and forth while rubbing his chin as if he’s in deep thought. ‘I’m sure Seungcheol and Celine had a fight,’ he said in his mind. He accidentally overheard their fight through the phone call and it was him who unconsciously told Celine about the wedding next week. Wonwoo is guilty for that, and he waited long enough to see either one of the two so he can apologize. Apologize for what? For telling that truth. Being apologetic is just his excuse. He doesn’t need to know if the information is correct, since he has the concrete evidence on his grip. What he wanted to hear is if it is really possible to happen. “I’ve been calling that bastard but he’s not answering my call,” Wonwoo complained, thinking about his best friend Seungcheol. He’s worried about the couple, even though
Days passed by and the preparation for the wedding of Joshua and Celine started.Between the days of handling the invitation and the start of preparation, Celine didn't meet anyone. Others did the same, as if everyone was preparing themselves for the upcoming event.With Wonwoo's money, Celine succeeds on buying the old house that her father sold. She asked Minghao to fix the necklace of hers and her fathers so that it can be a key again. After buying the house, Celine started her search at the place, thinking she'll find something there that has connection with her father.Unfortunately, she haven't found anything.“Haaaa,” Celine sighed while looking at her reflection through the big mirror. She's inside the wedding boutique and will try the wedding dress that she'll wear.“Miss Celine,” a staff from the boutique called her."Yes?"“The dress is ready. Can you come inside so that we can check if it fits? ”Celine's eyes peeked at the space between the opened door and the wall and sa
