Inside of the VVIP rooms in Gishi traditional restaurant, the owner’s voice resonated loudly and cheerfully around the four-walled room.“Welcome everyone!” Wonwoo shouted with his arms wide opened.His only two guests, Seungcheol and Jeonghan, stared at the man who’s oozing with energy even if he has dark circles under his eyes.“This is a party for people who are sad over Celine’s marriage. To commemorate the first day after her union yesterday, I prepared alcoholic cocktails which will soothe your broken hearts.”Flinching at the Wonwoo’s remarks, the two did not respond and rather wait for the next nonsensical things which will come out Wonwoo’s lips.“Here, I prepared these cocktails, Fruity Baby Food Cocktail, Ginger Mint Julep, Frozen margaritas, Gin and Lime cocktails, 1832 Whiskey, Pumpkin Spice Soda, Aperol Spritz, Frose and Boozy Strawberries. These drinks will help you…”As he continued to talk, his image became distorted to Seungcheol and Jeonghan’s eyes. Soon, the man w
Woozi was stunned when he heard that the HongYoonChoi’s new leader will marry Celine. However, he already expected that something as big as this will happen soon, so his stun only lasted for a short time. He believes that there must be a reason why Celine had to marry Joshua instead of Seungcheol. For that, he won’t dig any further and just focus on his job. Well unlike other, Woozi does not have any feelings for the lady so he’s not really that affected over the wedding. So why did he introduce himself as Celine’s former fiancee? It was only to see the reactions of the men who’s glaring at him. ‘It’s worth-seeing,’ Woozi laughed inwardly while remaining expressionless on the outside as he stared at the three. “Why are you looking at me like that?” he teased the three. “It’s unbelievable,” Wonwoo was the first one who responded. “That’s right. Very unreal,” Jeonghan agreed. Usually, Wonwoo and Jeonghan hardly have the same thoughts. Yet today, they are tending to agree a lot o
The servants of the Hong Mansion went very busy since night. They were told that the master and the new madam will be going home today from their honeymoon. Everyone dressed in their uniforms and no one got late during the greeting preparation. Minutes later, the huge gate opened and two cars arrived one after another. Maids and butler watched the vehicles parked at the entrance. Soon, with the help of their aides, Joshua and Celine came together hand to hand. All will agree that Joshua’s has the face of the scene stealer. But now, that also comes with the new Madam. Their eyes went to the woman whom they saw before, but shone more brightly into their eyes today onwards. Joshua and Celine looked at each other before they walked together in the center. It was as if they are celebrities walking on the red carpet, while there are curious spectators on each side, who are bowing their heads to the host of the mansion. As Celine walked, she observed each servants who did not dare take a
Alone in the room, Celine perched on the edge of the bed. She slept a lot during their long trip, but still could feel the fatigue.‘Is it really because of the trip? Or she was pushed into her limits when she did it with her husband?’ Her cheeks glowed in red. She has many hurdles to fix as of now but she could not believe she’s thinking about her passionate activities with Joshua.‘How can I face Seungcheol after this?’ She covered her face and accepted that she was born with faint heart which learned to beat for multiple men at the same time. Well, it isn’t just her fault. She blamed it at the situation that they are in.Sighing, Celine looked at the gift boxes again.“It is so many. I wonder what’s inside on each box,” she mumbled.Electric fan, plates, cups, towels…?Usually, these are the gifts that every married couple received from their friends. And Celine thought that the gifts here are as normal as that. Yet soon, she remembered that the sender of these came from wealthy

Junhui is aware about the recent wedding between Joshua and Celine. Today, he was also informed that the newlywed couple came back from their honeymoon. But he did not expect something from it, because he believes that it is just a marriage for Celine’s survival. Still, he felt restless and impetuous. His mind is all over the place, asking questions he may never get the answers to. His system was more like demolished. It feels like a wrecking ball swooped in and destroyed his world, and he cannot pick up the piece. When he dragged himself out of his bed early in the morning, the apathy has set it. He’s lacking interest and enthusiasm towards today’s activities and plans. If he’s clueless right now, he must be drinking in the broad light because of his broken first love. Yet he’s different. After knowing the truth, Junhui learned how to handle the situation even if he’s in the edge of crying and resenting the past. ‘Celine and I are cousins,’ he told to himself and clamped his fin
When Seungcheol was informed that Celine and Joshua have came back, the first thing that came to him is acceptance.No matter how torturing it is to watch his woman married other man and spent nights with him, he knew he had to endure this, given the situation they are all into. Moreover, he had to cop up the guilt for choosing to unite the whole clan instead of picking what his morality told him to do.Seungcheol gripped his pen with a scowl. He’s hurting, he’s in pain. But he had to swallow everything and pretend that everything will be okay; as if he’s drinking a cup of fuel which is water in disguise.He stood up and prepared to leave.“Sir, you have an important meeting tonight,” his secretary informed.“Cancel everything. I have more important things to do.”He picked up his jacket and stepped away. As he walked out, there’s a mint scent left inside the space.The plan for today is to meet Celine. He wanted to ask what happened during their vacation, but that will be second afte

Some thought that he is probably dead, since he went against many politicians before his long sentence in jail. Other says that Hugo was scouted because of his skill. Few commented that maybe, Hugo went on hide b

But as soon as he got there, the three men asked him questions about the maid named Lucy. She is the exclusive maid of his mother, Celine. “How’s Lucy? Did she receive the flower that I sent to her?” Seungkwan asked. “Does she has plan this weekend?” Hoshi inquired. “Did you tell her that uncle Dokyeom misses her so much?” Dokyeom interrogated. The young boy crossed his arms while looking at the three grown up who are acting like kids. Not long after, there’s a sneer in his red lips. “Uncles,” Jeshuel said. “Yes?!” the three said in unison, excited to hear his answer. “Do you know that the world right now is experiencing Economic hardship?” “...” “...” “...” Jeshuel took a deep breath and continued, “Economic hardship refers to psychological dis-tress that results from a perception of relatively low economic resources. Hardship is contrasted with poverty, whi

Inside the small, windowless room with a brick-walled, the old woman, Kelly, is sitting on the ground with handcuffs around her wrinkled wrist. Her apathetic eyes went to the steel door in front which is equip with locks and bolts. The place is cold. Each breath slipped from her dried lips feels like there’s a frosting of white that blankets her; air thicken with the stench of her own breath. Cold and clammy, her hands and feet numb with the damp, like she’s been wrapped went sheets for long days. Her lifeless eyes roamed around the jail cell where soon could be her grave. Kelly already accepted it. She accepted dying in the hands of the organization she tried to eradicate along with Ben. She is a talented pharmacologist who makes different drugs, thinking that it will help the world be a better place. But now that Ben died, she has no wills to continue living.

She was mad to hear him saying thank you as if she was only forced to be by his side. “I’ll wait for the day when you can finally let me enter your heart,” he continued, grabbing both sides of her face with his hands and continued moving his hips. Celine’s hand on his shoulder clenched. “But now, I am contended with this. I am happy already,” he breathed fiercely, his deep eyes gazing at her. Celine is moaning, feeling his hardness rubbed on her and she still had to bite her lower lip with all her might to keep from telling him that he does not need to thank her. Seeing how she couldn’t respond, Jeonghan smiled bitterly at her silence. Her heart ached as she saw his eyes darken. She wanted to console him somehow. And so, she kissed him again while wrapping he

It look somehow… fierce. Although she had felt that rubbed between her thighs before, it had never occurred to her that she will put that inside her mouth.‘Will it fit?’ Her eyes widened.She realized that she did not think if it is okay to suck it but she’s more worried if that will fit in her mouth! Celine was so shocked to herself.Jeonghan let out a mischievous smile as he watched Celine, who was faltering while laying down on the bed.“Can you do it? My innocent wife?” he asked.Celine drew a deep breath. Her pupils shook.Jeonghan told her before that they don’t need to do real sex to make him feel good but…‘Isn’t this the same as having s
