"Please protect my kid, please. Even if the world turned against him, stay by my son's side."
"I will. I will."
Minghao looked at his old master’s son who was standing in front of the slightly opened door. The hand around the doorknob was trembling. His mouth hanged loose while his eyes shook in tremor.
For long years, Minghao wondered why the relationship between Harvhey and Joshua turned bitter like this; in a way that the son who despised his father, just stayed behind the door while looking at his sick old man.
While serving Harvhey, Minghao can tell that his master does love Joshua. He did his best protecting the child even if he was being pushed away. It was as if he was fine following his son from the shadow, with hands on his curved back, because he couldn’t dare reach him within his grasp.
After listening to Harvhey and Celine’s conversation, Minghao and Joshua now found out the truth. &n
Celine's POVI had a dream about my dad and a woman I've never seen."Do you still love him?" My dad asked."I always love him," the woman replied.The windows of my eyes opened carefully. When I woke up inside my dim room, I asked myself: 'How many hours did I sleep?It seems that when I came back at Jeon's residence, my tired body collapsed on my bed and now, I got little confused if it is early morning or evening since the sun was gone.I sat up then checked my phone. "6:36pm."Since morning, I've b
Celine's POVOnly few people have the privilege to witness the HongYoonChoi's leader's burial; the two remaining leaders with their children, mister Fredd, Wonwoo, I and his right hand, Minghao.Uncle Harvhey's burial place is a private location where white lily blooms and butterflies roamed freely. The wind was calm, not cold, not warm. I caught myself glancing at the next tomb where Mrs. "Glory Hong" resided.They say that death is the last place where you can prove that love lasted till forever. However, while I'm looking at Joshua's back as he stared at his parent's tombs, my heart sank deeply.'I wondered if his eyes went dried for crying so much, just like mine.'Jeonghan stood beside me, here on my right side and on my left side was his sister, Almond. What expressions did others make, I don't know. I was busy on my own; trying to sooth what's wei
Minghao unpacked his things at his new room, provided by the lord of Jeon's residence. Looking outside through the windowpane, he watched the scenery. It was the same heaven he admired but weirdly, it felt very different today.Isn't it because he's like an anxious cat who was suddenly brought into a new household?With a sigh, he fixed his eyes on the ground and remembered Harvhey's last will before he died.[Please protect that kid]Minghao won't ever try to oppose his master's will. Yet, just like what Wonwoo said before, serving Celine is against his wish. 'I wonder if I can wholeheartedly protect someone, even when my loyalty to master Harvhey is second to none,' such thoughts kept him awake.His butt fell do
Slave and his master don't eat together. Even during the monarchy dynasty, a servant mustn't sit at the same table with the nation's King; and that's what Wonwoo thought while looking at Minghao, sitting beside Celine."So, he's going to eat lunch with us?" a simple yet disrespectful question from him.Minghao's eyes slipped slowly towards the guy across them. The table is surely big, but the intensity their stares hold can feel by each side.What baffled Celine regarding her fake brother and her new aid was: 'Why can't they get well along together?' she asked deeply while switching her gaze to them."Your father..." Celine bit her tongue and looked around just in case someone heard her. Then she changed her first words, "I mean...father Fredd, told us that Minghao will be with me starting from now on.""I know," Wonwoo chuckled. "I didn't mean to shoo him away with my que
Celine's POVI'm not well informed about the organization's Hierarchy. But when Wonwoo said...[ Do you think that the two leaders will agree to bow their heads on Joshua?]Then I had a guess that the spot for being the leader is still a mystery. Even if uncle Harvhey surrendered his title to his son, the decision is still up to Jeonghan's and Seungcheol's fathers. 'Then what will happen to their ranking once the two leaders have declined?'"Do you want to drink wine?" Minghao inquired.To cover my anxiousness, I strolled around the house; walking in the garden, in the living room, in the kitchen...etc. Now that Minghao talked, I just found myself standing in front of the wine sideboard."Ahhh, y-yeah" I blurted out.Unlike me, Minghao doesn't display any sign of uneasiness. He just kept on follow
[Joshua is the new leader]"As expected."[Should we reveal her identity?]"No. We will wait for the perfect time."She dropped the call and looked at her wobbly reflection on the tea. Her skin is hanging loose and the top of her head has grey hairs. Hunching her back, the old woman folded her hands."All this time, you were hiding your daughter," she whispered, alone in her room. "But until the end, she can't escape your shadow." A sinister smile followed as her eyes seek for Celine's picture on the table.Who is this old woman? For Celine's father, she is someone that he never saw but he resented for a long time; the person responsible for his wife's death.The HongYoonChoi organization is not a playground. Everyone seeks power by killing and betraying. Celine's father was a
Third Person's POVIn China, people have beliefs that if a person displays his sad face while he's at the counter, then his business during that day won’t be productive. If there is only one Chinese customer in Celine's coffee shop, he might dash into the counter and might educate her to fix her expression right now.At the counter, the owner of the shop was pouting her lips. She kept on glancing at her phone as she waits for a certain person's message. No matter how hard she stared at it, she received none."At least, he should have informed me when he's going to visit," Celine sighed.A male customer walked towards the counter. The man is about 184cm height and has thin figures. He's wearing polka dots sleeveless top and ripped jeans partnered with metal skull belt. "Can I have a mango shake please? Large size," he ordered."Large size of mango shake," Celine repeated then typed his order on the computer. "What is your name? Sir?"

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.

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.

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
