2024-10-29 19:42:56Jeong’s POV
This is so embarrassing that I needed her to help me. I should be the one coming to her rescue not the other way around. It’s a struggle to keep hobbling leaning on her, the pain is unbearable. All I can do is swallow the pain and pretend it doesn’t bother me. I’m not at ease until we reach the ship. What if Zviad wakes up and gets here before we get to the ship? All I can do is push forward.
After what seemed to be an hour we finally made it to the edge of deck. Mr Takvorian and Woo Soo Yun are both standing there arms crossed.
The only sound that comes from Mr Takvorian was “Tsk” as he left inside the ship.
Woo Soo Yun just stood there and watched as I struggled to hop up the stairs leaning on her. I ignored him as we passed him. Once we made it through the door I instantly fell into the closest chair panting. For the moment she’s safe. If Zviad were to come now there would be n

Rae’s POV After Jeong stated it being late and going to sleep, I can’t help but stare at the bed. I haven’t been able to sleep in a bed since I’ve been here and boy did it look inviting. Without paying attention to Jeong I climbed into bed and slipped under the covers. It felt wonderful sinking into the mattress and pillow as I closed my eyes and felt at peace. Opening my eyes I look over at Jeong and notice his jacket is off and now he’s unbuttoning his shirt. I can see his toned chest and abs as he continues to unbutton shirt from top to bottom. Flustered, I sit up gripping the blanket around my body and yell out “What are you doing!?” With an expression that it’s so obvious he remarks “I’m getting ready to sleep. What does it look like?” “Why are you taking off your clothes?” What is he thinking? You don’t need to take off your clothes to sleep. Was he lying? Is he planning to take advanta
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 34: Entering a Grand Palace
Rae’s POV Leaving the ship, it looks more like a building that’s always been here. There is a wrought iron fence surrounding the building with the same ornate statues at every post. Upon first glance you would never think this massive thing could lift itself up off the ground. Jeong stops dead in his tracks causing me to bump into him. Peering around him I notice something that resembles a royal carriage of sorts. It’s very ornate with gold trim and what seems to be red velvet curtains draped inside the windows. There are no wheels nor are there any horses in front of it, at least I would expect something that looks like this to have them. There is a man sitting in front of what I’d assume is the drivers seat and another man standing outside the carriage. Jeong stiffens for a moment and squeezes my hand slightly. He then proceeds to quickly tug me along down the sidewalk away from the carriage.
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 35: Speechless Surprises
Jeong’s POV Leaving Rae in the bathroom I decided to head to the study. Since the bonding I can sense she wont do anything which puts me at ease. I’m sure he’ll be in the study as I walk the unnecessary twists and turns of the hallways. Just like the Compound, this place was also built like a labyrinth. Upon reaching the study a servant opens the door and bows as I walk past. My father behind his desk over looking some paperwork looks up and raises an eyebrow. Tapping a finger on the desk “Where is she?” as he looks annoyed. “I didn’t think it proper for her to come dressed in import attire seeing as you didn’t leave us any time to prepare.” What did you expect old man… “Very well.” as he leans back in his chair “Now do tell me, what changed your mind after all these years?” “I haven’t changed my mind. I still mean what I said.” I can’t help but g
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 36: Realization Takes Hold
Rae’s POV Heading down the hallways in twists and turns, it begins reminding me of that prison only nicer looking. The maid has been silent ever since we left the bedroom. I hope she’s actually taking me where she said she is. I find myself praying that Jeong will be there, I’m not ready to be alone with his father. Or at least I’d assume it’s his father since they call Jeong ‘Young Lord’. The maid stops in front of large double doors and turns to me “Wait here, when they are ready for you they will summon you.” then left without another word. I’m now standing here in the hallway wondering what to do. I begin noticing the paintings and statues around the hall and find myself looking at them. The paintings consist of still life’s and scenic landscapes that are all well done, although I’m not really much of a judge on art. The statues mainly consist of busts of people I have no idea who they are meant to be.
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 37: The Dreaded Chopsticks
Rae’s POV Jeong leads me towards the garden. Once outside we follow a path down a few steps onto a patio where his father is already there waiting for us. The table was circular that was large enough to fit eight people comfortably. Jeong had me sit at the seat almost across from his father while he took the seat to my right. I’d assume he thought this was the most distance he could get between his father and I. Not soon after sitting down the servants began bringing carts of food and setting them on the table. “I wasn’t sure what your preference is so I had them make a little of everything.” said Jeong’s father as he waved off the servants. The food all looks different from what I’m use to back on Earth. Don’t get me wrong, the food looks delicious but none of it is what I recognize. I can tell what’s meat and whats vegetable maybe? I mean I’m all for trying new things at least once, but thi
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 38: Tell me
Rae’s POV While In the carriage Jeong has been awfully quiet. When I glance over at him, he is just sitting there with his arms and legs crossed, eyes closed. He remains silent but I can tell the further along we get the more his face tenses like if he’s mulling over something. When the carriage finally reaches the outskirts of town and makes it’s way down a country styled road Jeong finally breaks the silence. “What did my father tell you while I was gone?” his eyes still closed slightly furrowed. “He asked why I decided to help you.” as I was somewhat still looking out the carriage window only half way looking at him. Opening his eyes he looks at me “What did you tell him?” “Only that I knew my options and Zviad frightened me.” what else could I have said? “Was that all?” with a concerned look on his face. I can’t help but
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 39: My New Home
Rae’s POV Jeong lets out a sigh “Yes unfortunately.” as he gazes out the window “What became of this world is the whole reason why I refuse to bring an heir to life. There is no hope for the future.” He sounds like he is truly disgusted with this world. If he really hates the whole thing then why did he decide to claim me if by claiming me he went against everything he believes in? Was it really because he just wanted to protect me? Then I would have to ask again why me? Why not some other woman? Maybe I shouldn’t worry about it. After all if he keeps his word I am thankful he isn’t going to turn me into some sex slave to bare him children. Before I can even think about what to even say I feel the carriage turn off the road onto another. Soon I begin seeing what seems to be small homes and apartment buildings. Along the road I see a few stalls selling food, cloth, and other trinkets. It’s so weird, it seems like th
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 40: Pink, Why Pink?
Rae’s POV Following Jean down the hallway I take in my surroundings. This place isn’t nearly as formal as his fathers was, I felt suffocated there. Instead this place is rather casual and comfortable. Jean stops in front of a door “This will be your room. The adjoining room next to yours is Jeong’s. Across the hall is Nathan’s as well as Gerald’s and my room.” as she smiles at me then proceeds to open the door. Who’s Nathan? I shrug it off and walk into the room after Jean. It’s like a blast in the face, everything is pink. I internally gag trying to hide my horror. “I had the room redone for you.” as she walked towards the windows pulling back the drapes. I cringe trying to force a smile “Oh, you shouldn’t have.” Jean just smiles “It’s no problem, I’m glad I could help.” Pink is literally my least favorite color as I try to

Jeong’s POV The thought of relaxing was cut short when Jeffrey continues to sit there waiting for everyone to leave. He really isn’t going to let this go now is he. Only Jeffrey, Gerald and I are left in the room. Jeffrey lifts an eyebrow motioning to Gerald expecting me to ask him to leave. “There are no secrets between Gerald and I. Whatever you intend to speak about can be said in front of him.” “Very well.” Jeffrey sits up looking at me square in the face. “What is your real purpose? You can’t expect me to believe it’s just to train them for a potential scenario. I went along with it because I know you’re a man with a purpose. Now tell me what is really going on here.” This man holds a lot of weight, if he changes his mind it will severely hurt our cause. “I hope you don’t think I would purposely start a war and put everyone in danger.” “Your reputation suggests otherwise, but one has to
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 73: We Need Defense
Jeong’s POVBefore we started on the subject of training a knock was heard at the door. Gerald quietly got up and opened it. When I saw it was Jean with a cart full of food, “Let’s take a break and enjoy some refreshments before continuing.” The tense air almost instantly lifted as everyone relaxed into their seats while they began chattering with one another.I watched as Jean made her way to the opposite side of the room but then someone caught my eye. Rae is standing dumbfounded at the door. She asked Gerald something, but I couldn’t make it out. Gerald just laughs as he waves her off before coming to take his seat next to me. I want to say something to her but end up just watching her as she places the trays of food onto the table. When she comes close I was about to reach out and grab her hand, but pulled away before doing so. What if she makes a scene? What if I loose my composure?Sti
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 72: First Official Meeting Started
Jeong’s POVIt’s been two days since the morning I spoke with Rae. Every time I’ve seen her it was either extremely awkward or she’d run away. I hate this so much, but I don’t know what to do in order to change it. Plus I’ve been so busy that I haven’t really had the time to do much. Even today I’m holding a meeting here at the house. I’ve appointed people who are loyal to me knowing what we stand for and what we are trying to achieve over lead positions. They are a mixture of shop owners, elders, and those with the required skills. This marks the first official meeting to which I decided to hold in the formal dinning room. It’s a room rarely used and for the amount of people here its the best option.The meeting has been going on for a good three hours and we aren’t even half way though the agenda. Using drones to create a replica of the land we’ve managed to map out th
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 71: Needing Some Space
Rae’s POVI helped Jean with dinner. Using what was available at the time I made something equivalent to potato salad and deviled eggs with the ranch. She made some of her normal dishes that I said would be fine to go along with what I made. After all was cooked Jean and I started setting the dinning table.Jean left to get the last of the food while I stood there in the dinning room looking at the table. Panic hit me when I heard Jeong’s voice coming from the hallway and without thinking I teleported to my room. Taking a deep breath standing in the middle of my room I place my hand on my chest to feel my erratic heart beat. Shaking my head I can’t help but feel ashamed at myself. I shouldn’t run away from him, I know that, but I’m afraid to face him right now.Jeong’s POVAfter Gerald’s initial shock and the atmosphere lightened, we began to talk about norma
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 70: And Then There was Flavor!
Rae’s POVAfter placing all the different containers of herbs on the counter in the kitchen Henry asks, “What do you plan on doing with those?”With a huge grin on my face, “Care to help me?”Henry’s eyes light up, “With a smile like that how could I say no?”With everything that is going on lately this is a very much needed distraction. I know I need to address what just happened between me and Jeong and figure out what am I suppose to do exactly for the rest, but I welcome this. It’s been so long since I’ve made this and I really hope it turns out. Anything to give a little flavor to the food here. I’m surprised no one has done this and if they did they sure kept it secret.Grabbing a bowl, eggs, vinegar, oil and what I believe is equivalent to a bit of mustard seed I start getting to work.&
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 69: What Should I Do?
Jeong’s POVSitting in my study I can’t help but lean over looking down with my elbows on my desk while I pull my own hair in frustration. Images of Rae’s terrified face after kissing her keeps flooding my mind. What have I done? Moving my hands down to my face I support my chin on my thumbs while rubbing the bridge of my nose with my fingers. What should I do? Will she still be the same or will she distance herself from me now?Nathan and Gerald walk in without even knocking.“Wow, what’s got you all bent out of shape?” Nathan jokes as he sees the state I’m in.Pure annoyance fills within me as I lean back in my chair still pinching the bridge of my nose with one hand. “It’s nothing, I just have a headache.”“Oh really?” Nathan smirks while nudging Gerald.I’m not in the mood for t
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 68: I Just Can’t
Rae’s POVHere I am standing in my own bathroom in Jeong’s arms naked. I was trying to quickly get to the closet to change, but thanks to him I slipped on the wet floor. Now both our bodies are firmly pressed together and I can feel he no longer is wearing any clothes. I can see him looking down with lust in his eyes as he stares at my breasts.I’m frozen stiff. I’m not sure what I should even do. Pushing away from him will give him full view of my body, not that he hasn’t seen it before but… It would also give me full view of his own body in all it’s glory. I watch as he traces his vision upwards until meeting my eyes. I can’t help but get lost in those gorgeous caramel eyes of his. Before I knew it he tightened his grip around my waist pulling me closer. I couldn’t help but gasp at the sudden action. His other hand soon found it’s way up the back of my neck before l
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 67: Are we?
Jeong’s POV“How did? Who told you her name?” There is no way she could have found out my mothers name. Father had everything destroyed and made it like she never existed aside from that painting he keeps in his study.Rae lets out a sigh, “She did last night. That’s when her, Mary and the other woman sprung the bomb on me.”I can’t help but stare blankly at her. Not only does she seem to know about the theory of emotions fueling The Core but also knows about Mary’s sacrifice and my mothers name. Could what she’s saying actually be real? “Hold on, this is a lot for me to process right now. What you’re saying is insane and hard to believe, but you’re also saying things that you should have never known.”Rae uncertain “So… Does that mean you’re beginning to believe me?”“I&r
The Unwanted Chance Chapter 66: He Doesn’t Believe me
Jeong’s POV“You’re wrong!” Rae shouts, completely taking me off guard. “It’s you all who don’t understand!”I’m wrong? I don’t understand? I’ve never seen her behave this way before. What does she even mean? What should I say in this situation? “I’m sorry if I said something that upset you. I don’t quite understand what you mean by not understanding.”Rae looks at me pleading “Women are being sacrificed in vain. The amount of sacrifices is of no use.”I can see tears trying to make their way out of her eyes. Caressing her face I thumb off an escaped tear. “I know dear. I lost my mother remember? Everyone here has lost someone, that’s why we are trying to change everything.”Rae grabs my hand in hers “No, you don’t underst
