Wang Ahn reached his duplex apartment near midnight. He was exhausted. He really had tried his working limit but the result was worth it.
He grinned thinking of how he snatched the contract out of his enemy’s hand when the rivals were so sure that they are going to get it. But they should have considered with whom they are dealing with, CEO of Aqua enterprises is not an easy and forgiving enemy.
Wang Ahn never backdown from a fight and never let anyone take any business deal from him. He was one of the most successful businesses men at such a young age. He was ruthless when it comes to his work.
Hence the destructive move he played again Gu Chan. He can bet that Gu Chan has sold his everything on this deal to install instruments to manufacture the product in bulk amount as he was sure that it was ultimate his power move. He gave his everything and even took the risk of hiring and placing a spy in Ahn's office.
Even though Ahn doesn't know who the spy is at the moment he immediately got the whiff of it as soon as Gu Chan even applied for the same contract and to confirm his doubt he even kept his meeting on the same day. He thought he was being smart about it trying to play dirty with Ahn, so Ahn made sure to destroy him for once and all.
He was instantly in better mood as he thought about the face of Gu Chan when he realized that he lost the contract and all of his life savings with it as he has invested his everything on this deal.
He went to bathroom and took a shower. He wrapped a towel around his waist and blow dried his hair. He looked at his handsome self in mirror and thanked for the genes that was passed down to him.
The guy staring back at him in the mirror had handsome face with chiseled jaw line, hazel eyes with blue flecks in it, dark hair which was still slightly wet from the shower he just took. Add an adorable pair of dimples to this look and it was the most handsome face you can imagine. His dimples alone were enough to make any girl crazy for him. Let alone his always charming personality and good use of intelligence and wit.
When he sets his target on someone no matter what, he gets it. Nobody was immune to his charm and ever-present easy going smile. He couldn't help but have the of taste of all the sweets that world has to offer.
But the most important thing in his life was LOOKS. he has to look good and presentable no matter where he is. Ofcourse, being handsome hunk himself, he obviously needs his partner to be as picture perfect as well. Just like the models he is used to dating. Recalling the recent incident with the model reminded of him of the beautiful store girl. Yes, he finally remembered the girl he kissed in the coffeeshop. It was the same girl he saw in the Tessa’s fashion boutique who had a talent for making sales. His smile turned into a full blown grin. He changed into his nightwear and went to have a coffee.
He went to his modern kitchen where he rarely cooks to get a coffee. As he reached the coffee machine he was again reminded of the incident that happened in the coffeeshop a few days ago. He again had the stupid grin on his face as he remembered the expression of the firecracker of a girl when he kissed her.
'And what was she complaining about? She should be thankful that the kiss was so nice' he thought smugly.
It has been 4 days since the coffeeshop incident and he has been in a jolly mood ever since. He was especially smug about his own Oscar worthy acting.
'Oh! Life is so much fun' he thought.
He drank his coffee and went to bad.
Next day when he woke up, he was in quite a good mood. He was having his breakfast made by his personal chef just then the sound of the bell rang out.
The maid opened the door for the guest and the newcomer was none other than mother of Ahn, Mrs. Wang. Ahn immediately stood up and engulfed his mom in a bear hug.
"Mom, What a surprise. Why are you here? Is something wrong?" Ahn asked mischievously.
She smacked the back of Ahn's head and said
"You insolent child, am I only supposed to come to your house when there is something wrong?"
Ahn rubbed the back of his head and said while grinning "Hehe. maybe"
His mother glared at him. Only his mother could struck him or slap however she likes. Nobody else has the guts to do it or maybe nobody has left alive to tell the tale.
"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? are you not sleeping properly? I told you not to overexert yourself."
He kept on grinning while receiving his mom's caring lecture.
"Dont worry mother. I am very well"
His mother observed him and said "Looking at your grin I can tell that you snatched the contract from Gu Chen"
His grin doubled as he recalled yesterday’s event.
"Without a doubt" He said arrogantly.
His mother sighed and said "Only if you were this serious and successful in your relationships"
His grin was instantly gone.
"I am here to inform you that the change of clan leader will happen in few months. I know you are strong. All the elders and members respect you and even if someone challenges your position nobody have a chance to win against you. You are way too powerful for them."
Wang Ahn was boasted by her mother’s compliments.
"Ofcourse I am strong." He said in obvious tone.
"You have the strength greater than your father and even your forefathers. But with your greatest strength you have great responsibilities."
Apart from the worldly persona of CEO Wang, he also has to play a different role. The role of being a crown prince of Aqua kingdom. Taking the responsibility of a clan leader could be difficult but he was born for it. Being born in to this role his life is intertwined with prophecies.
Wang Ahn remained silent. He knew in which direction the conservation was going.
"You have proven yourself with your success in the business world. You have multiplied the business thrice the original branch and your elemental strength is great beyond any words" His mother said trying to raise his confidence before gibing the final blow.
'Now the beating is about to begin' he thought.
"But you keep on having relationships with all the possible girls all around world. You really need to find the perfect girl for you and settle down before they entrap you in the prophecy crap. Just because it didn't work the first time doesn't mean...."
She knew crossed the line when she saw the dark expression on her son's face.
"You know that you have to take the responsibility and leadership of the clan very soon"
He sighed and said "I know that"
Mrs. Wang looked at her son's solemn expression and said
"You know I am worried about you right? Soon elders will have a meeting for the change of head of the clan. The clan will demand you to settle down and create heir soon after"
Her mother continued with her own speech
"I am not asking you to start a family right away but you have you look for the perfect girl for yourself"
Wang Ahn said a bit irritatedly
"Well the perfect girl dont exist"
Mrs. Wang sighed and asked in a demanding voice
"Do you really wanna marry the prophecy girl?""Well I am curious about her" Ahn said just to irritate his mother.
"Well dont be. What good she is? Her mother ran away to marry an unknown human. Now her whereabouts are unknown. Who know how she was brought. You have to look for anbetter option and marry that person so you can avoid the arrange marriage" Mrs Wang said agitatedly
"Mother, dont let father hear your scheming" Ahn said sarcastically
"Well your father is too superstitious and want to follow through all the prophecies blindly" Mrs Wang said irritatingly
Just then her phone rang, she looked at the caller ID and said "I have to go. I am meeting my friends for a spa appointment. Think about what I said. Okay?"
Ahn said with mischievous smile on his face "Yes Ma'am"
He kissed both of her mother’s cheeks as she left the apartment. He went back to breakfast and thought about the conversation he had with his mother.
Alot of people wants to avoid prophecy and arrange marriages. It happens in every few centuries. Hence the mother of the girl ran away to avoid her child to go through the forceful marriage. Although it has been in the news that she had been found few years ago but is refusing to speak about the whereabouts of her child.
'Such a drama.' He thought while rolling his eyes.
He wasn't kidding when he said that he is curious about the so-called lava girl. That is what he calls his prophesy princess. Cause if she is anything like the fire-cracker he met in the coffeeshop, life would be very interesting.
‘Looks like I have to give her a visit soon’ he thought evilly.
“Aren’t you going to explain yourself?”Was the question asked to Yoonji when she came back to their table, her friends were equally surprised and Xia was writhing in jealousy."What just happened?" Mingi asked in confusion.
The next day when Yoongi came to work, ofcourse late as usual, the store was on another uproar. The assistants were changing the positions of the rack. Adding new outfits, changing the colour theme like a hurricane has come and disrupted their peaceful routine.She approached Mingi and asked "What happened?"
Needless to say, the whole day went horrible with unlimited and unnecessary work. As soon as one of the employees was done with her task, Master Joon would miraculously appear and add on the pile of work like there is no tomorrow. It went on for the whole day.At the end of the day, every one was so exhausted that they didn’t wanted to say give pleasantries or smile at each other even just for appearance sake. Devil was back and he was even worst then before.
The rest of the evening went pretty much the same way. With Yoonji going in to every shop and then hassling with prices and coming out vicariously.She bought some material of clothing as well. Looking at different colours and fabric was like a dream to her. She also bought some lace in different pattern and stones in different shapes and sizes for making the dresses unique. She already had ample amount of threads at home. She loved doing embroidery and stitching and was good at it too.
Next day Yoonji actually reached her work on time not even a minute late. Everyone was surprised by that.Joon said nonchalantly "Ofcourse she came on time. She obviously wanted to see me and didn't wanted to miss on a single second being apart of me. Right Yoonji?" Joon asked her.
"Atleast what she is wearing is not a counterfeit"They were shocked to hear that and turned to see an angel looking girl standing right behind them. They were struck by her beauty and her aura.She was wearing a deep blue figure-h
Yoona and Xuang were shocked by the discovery. Its like they were watching their friend in a new light. 'How could it be?' was the only thought in both of their minds which were they conveying to each other by their eyes."Is it true Xina? Is this dress fake?" Xuang asked in a flabbergasted state
Looking as the focus of the crowd has shifted from her, Xina wanted to slip out of the situation but a cold voice stopped her right in her escape plan."Aren't you going to say sorry?" Yoonji asked with a cold look in her eyes."Wh
3 years later,In a white shimmering mermaid style wedding gown, which Yoonji designed herself, Yoonji was sitting silently as her mom was doing final touches on her hair which was set in an elegant half updo.She had diamond earrings and a tiara on her head, for becoming the queen of 4 clans. Her make up was done with perfection. Her eyes were sparkling with happiness.She saw her bestfriends, Mingi, Sashi and her sister Xuri fussing in the back. They looked beautiful in their lilac coloured bridesmaid dresses. They couldn’t help but give complement to Yoonji after every few seconds.And how can they not? In the elegant wedding dress, Yoonji was looking like a dream come true. A fairy and angel, just like Jaemin likes to call her. She was breath taking, gorgeous, elegant, charismatic, and every other praise that exist in the world.“Yuhoo, I am here to present someone special!” Jaemin came in announcing his splendid entrance.
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep'What is beeping so early in the morning? Who set up such a weird alarm?''Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep''What is this annoying voice.Yoonji woke up irritated with a sound of constant beep near her. She was surprised to see herself in a white room with multiple monitors and machines attach to her body.'What am I doing in a hospital?'She noticed that the room has a sofa on the corner. Even though it was a hospital room for some reason it was filled with luxury.'What happened?'And it was at that moment when the realization hit her. Memory of the party, her parents and Ahn being shot multiple times to protect her came rushing in. She panicked with the memory of blood rushing from the wound, all red, Ahn falling down unconscious in her arms.Then she remembered how she mercilessly killed her father.She was a murderer.The thoughts started an anxiety attack and her heart started beating fa
Xuri who was indeed present in the Aqua main mansion was hidden from the sight in a room beside the ball room."For how much time I have to wait here?" She asked Jaemin impatiently."Just few minutes more, little one. Let the elders finish the dirty talk and then we will let you enter" He said with a smile. He knew Yoonji didn’t want her little sister to see the fight between her and her mother."But I want to be there for Yoonji" Xuri insisted. He noticed how much the two sister loves each other."I know and I want to be there for her too, but this is what she wants. Trust me, this is where I can keep you safe" Jaemin said as he looked at the phone to see if he received the signal. He saw that everything is going according to plan and smiled at the great plan they have formed."Okay, but if its not done in next 10 minutes I am going in" she said and Jaemin sighed at her stubbornness."Now listen...""No Jamein. I mean it" she s
All pairs of eyes turned to look at the elegant Woman who looked like the exact copy of the beautiful woman standing on the stage. Crowd gasp at the similarity.Ahn smirked and held Yoonji closer to him."And who you are to make such decisions, if I may ask?" Ahn asked sarcastically."Brat, I am Song Sooya. Yoonji's mother!" She said and people went crazy to hear the familiar name. The scandalous princess who ran away days before her wedding to the leader of Aqua clan. The marriage was arranged to create harmony which this woman destroyed.People haven’t seen her face in two decades and almost forget about her existence. Her abrupt presence suddenly brought a lot of bad memories."Mother, is it so? Honey, I don’t remember you introducing us?" Ahn said looking gently at Yoonji who was looking at her mother in shock and disbelief. She cooled her expression and looked at the aloof face of Ahn and spoke coldly,"How could I when she
A grand party was arranged in Main mention of Aqua clan to celebrate the coronation of the new king. The party was arranged in one of the grand ball rooms of Aqua palace.In just a months’ time Ahn received the title of both the leader of the Aqua clan and the King of 4 clans. It was a proud moment for the people of Aqua clan and they happily chatted with the clan members of different clans who arrived as the guest for the celebration of the new king.He entered the already swinging party in 3 piece grey suit. Jaemin was dressed in bright blue dress while Minhu was in dark blue.Even in the simpler colours they were a sight to behold. Even just within the clans they had the ability to grasp all the attention to themselves.They had the power and beauty. Some people are just lucky to be loaded in all the department.The trio immediately dispersed in 3 different groups. They had the whole plan set out for themselves.Ahn was greeted by S
"Is it so? What a special lady" Jae chan commented."Oh you have no idea. One would think she belongs to fire clan" Ahn said with a smile while the smile on Jaemin’s lip froze.‘Isnt Ahn making it too obvious?’ Jaemin thought with worry but got relax when he heard others laughing thinking it as joke.Everyone in the arena felt relaxed watching Ahn joking and coming back into his senses when the match ended but only Minhu and Jaemin knew who he was talking about.Ahn promised to meet Yoonji today, although its not a date but he doesn’t want to take a risk of angering her again.They both took their fighting position and their was soon an announcement to begin the match.Like two animals they went towards each other’s throat with their full intensities. All that viewers can see was fire and water. Red and Blue energy surrounding them. It was almost beautiful and poetic.Punch after punch. Blow after blow an
It was finally the day of the tournament to select the king of elementals.By rules, only 10 elders and important members of each clan was allowed to enter the arena selected by the leader, Shaao Xurin.Ahn who looked oddly clam arrived with Minhu and Jaemin. They noticed that most of their own clan members were already present.He went straight to his dad and bowed respectfully."Are you ready?" His dad asked. Sungwoo's face had a neutral expression but you can see the worry clear as day in his eyes."Yes" Ahn simply replied.Sungwoo was expecting a cheeky reply from his son but was pleasantly surprised to hear the confidence in simple word.It means he wasn't over confident. Ahn was taking it with utmost importance."You only have to do your best. You are doing something a lot of our ancestors didn't dare to do with utmost sincerity. I am proud of you son. I can already see that you are going to be a great leader" Sungwoo sai
Yoonji had a hard time trying to identify the two girlfriends but after much effort she was finally able to pin point them. She tried calling the two girls, apologizing on Ahn's behalf, sending gifts and taking their insults by putting the phone away from her ear, but nothing worked.Watching their partner with other woman just did it for them.They were disgusted by him. They were over him.They were not coming back. It was a fact that yoonji knew and so did Ahn but he stubbornly made her do it anyway in return of the insult and embarrassment that he faced.After endless useless apologies and wasting ample of money and time, Yoonji had enough of this madness.Its not like it was her who cheated on those girls and she already tried her best in following Ahn's instructions.She went angrily in Ahn's office and threw the crumpled and badly distorted bouquet of flowers on Ahn's table.Ahn looked up from his documents to see the distorted
Yoonji stood in Ahn’s office like a kid who is about to be scolded for doing something naughty.Ahn was openly glaring at her while Yoonji was trying her hardest not to laugh again.And how can she not. Ahn was missing few buttons from his shirt, his hair was all over place, his cheeks still red from the slap. He was a sight to behold or not.“Do you understand what you have done today?” he asked sternly but to his complete surprise instead of hearing an apology, he heard a mocking reply from Yoonji."For being the CEO of a multimillion company, you really are not that smart, you know?" Yoonji was doubling over in laughter. Not really hiding the fact too. The drama that unfolded minutes ago was pitiful but hilarious, atleast for her.Wang Ahn was so angry, his whole face was writhing with it."What do you mean? Are you trying to insult me now?" He screamed at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe he was caught in the act an
