Life wasn't so unnecessarily chaotic before Yoonji met Wang Ahn. She had a comfortable life with her sister and two bestfriends Mingi and Hyun Jin. But everything started changing drastically after Wang Ahn took a notice at her. Everything became dramatic and her once semi-peaceful life became non-existent.

.....

A few months ago....

At Tessa's Fashion store

Tessa Fashion store was a famous fashion boutique. All the clothes were original designs which makes them exceptionally expensive. But more the money it cost the more it attracted valuable customers like celebs and rich crowd. There was always some famous fashion icon or a new model or an heir of mega rich company present trying to disguise themselves with mask or a cap.

In a bright afternoon, a middle aged women known as Madam Nein was wailing and was about to lose all her composure. She couldn't believe just how incompetent helpers of such a reputed store could be. It is such a disgrace.

Assistant keeps on giving her flowery praises dress after dress while she keeps on throwing dresses after every trial on her assistant's face and keeps on insulting the whole store for it. It has easily become a ruckus and everyone could feel the tension in the air.

They can't let the madam leave unsatisfied as she is a highly valuable customer. As the pile of dresses were increasing, so was the rage of Madam Nein.

The assistants knew they were helpless at this point. They kept on looking at the door eagerly waiting for the arrival of the only person who can make any angry soul feel peace with her presence alone. But as always, she was late and the assistants were harassed. Even the store manager can't handle Madam Nein anymore.

At the same time a handsome gentleman was sitting in the corner and was watching this show with quite some interest. The only thing that he regretted was not bringing popcorn while watching this ridiculous situation. He was also giving occasional complements to his "new girlfriend" as she was buying the clothes with lightening speed. And why wouldn't she? She doesn't have to pay for anything. Having a beautiful face with amazing figure and decent contract with leading modelling agency named Star Struck was enough to be the girlfriend of this handsome rich man.

Just then, a girl in simple white dress came and all the assistants were looking at her like they can finally see the light. She mouthed to them that she will be there in 2 minutes and went to change in the back and came out in assistants clothing which was a black T-shirt saying Tessa's Fashion in the back and a symbol of butterfly in the front and black jeans. She tied her ever shining hair in a bun. Even in the simple black attire the girl was radiating.

This beautiful girl we are talking about here is known as Kim Yoonji. Kim Yoonji is not your everyday girl next door. She doesn't look the part neither she plays it. She got looks of a goddess who you can't miss even if you want too. With her darker than night waist length hair, curvaceous figure, pale but healthy skin and personality of a firecracker.

She can make use of a simple tablecloth making a stunning art piece out of it and has the gut to wear it too. That was her passion. A passion of becoming a famous fashion designer. But designing beautiful cloths is not her only talent. she has the flowery mouth and can praise so well that she can even sell a garbage can with so much confidence that you will think that it matches you the best and this is the talent which enable her to cling to her job and the title of the best sales lady in Tessa's, even after not being punctual ever.

As soon as she changed in her store attire, she went directly to the wailing customer with a beautiful radiating smile and said

"Madam Nein, it's really you I almost didn't recognize you. Waahh!!! your skin is glowing. Have you started the aromatherapy sessions you told me last month about?"

Madam Nein was elated to see the newcomer. She has always preferred to take advice from this beautiful lady.

"I actually did start it. You have very keen eyes young one"

"Wait a minute, do you have a new work regime as well? You must tell me. I am sure that you have lost some pound but I don't think that the A-line dress is flattering for you."

Madam was surprised to hear the honest review "You are right. I did lose some weight and I don't like this dress on me too. They all look trash.  Do you have something in mind?"

Looking at the positive feedback Yoonji said confidently turning her work mode on

"Actually, I do have something in mind. But tell me what is the occasion you are shopping for and I'll bring the dress accordingly to that"

Madam replied instantly

"It’s my niece's wedding reception"

"Do we have a color theme??"

"Yes, its mostly clean and sophisticated. Mostly white"

"Thats amazing. Then I have the prefect gown in mind. Wait for a minute"

The girl hurriedly left and after just few seconds came back with a Blush mermaid gown. The collar of the gown was crisscrossed and beaded with white crystals reflecting the light falling on it. But there was no other embellishment on it making it sophisticated. It was simply gorgeous.

"Look at this Madam Nein. This dress will look gorgeous on you and with your figure it will flatter and hug in all the right places!!!!!"

Looking at the beautiful girl giving her such high praises Madam Nein's pride was on another level. Who doesn't like flattery, right?

Madan Nien went back in the dressing room and came back within minutes and were carefully examining herself in full length mirror.

Yoon Ji said "This dress is definitely made for you"

Madam looked at Yoon Ji with a grin and said

"Ah you are such a flatterer, this dress doesn't even look that good on me and you are praising for no reason, but it does look a bit figure flattering"

The assistants looked at each other asking the common questions with their eyes 'Why didn’t she believed us when we said that?'

Yoonji's eyes were even brighter now and she wouldn't let this opportunity go. She hurriedly said,

"You should definitely look at those mermaid gowns. Have you seen the jewels on the red one? Don't they look gorgeous? and the embroidery is all hand sewn hence increasing the beauty of the garment. This definitely suits your skin tone and even brightens the look of your eyes."

Madam Nein was observing the dress with great interest and finally said

" You are right. It does highlight my skin tone. I think I will give it a try"

After taking few minutes she finally came back from the dressing room and started examining herself with scrutiny and said

"Isn't this color a bit bold for my age?"

Yoonji doesn't gave her the moment of self-doubt and hurriedly said

"Nonsense, an elegant bold woman like you deserves a bold color. This dress suits your personality completely. What about this blue one?"

The assistants saw the blue dress Yoonji was pointing at and their faces turned grave.

    They found out just few minutes ago about how much madam Nein hated the colour blue when they first presented it to her.The assistant hurriedly said to avoid the further clash."Madam doesn't like the blue colour. She said it doesn't suit her" one of the assistant named Jina said to avoid further trouble.Madam looked at her in disdain for interrupting their appointment.Yoonji understood the situation that must have unfolded before she came and looked the madam with incredulous look on her face"Really? Is it true Madam Nein? I believe every colour looks good on you. You must try this one too to leave this misunderstanding behind"Madam Nein looked at the dress in disdain but she still believed in Yoonji's judgement."You are right. I should atleast try it so I won't leave with a regret" Madam said trying to gain her self-confidence.Madam went back to dressing room leaving all the assistants with stupified expression on thei

    "You are home" Said a happy voice as soon as Yoonji got home. The voice came from the kitchen was of the most important person in Yoonji's life, which was her little sister, Kim Xuri.She looked at her brightest star and said"Yes sweety.

    Each and every person in the small coffee shop was shocked beyond belief. Although its normal for a couple to argue and even for the cheater to get slapped, but nobody was expecting to see the melodrama in reality.Yoonji being the closest to their table was shocked herself. As she reached their table she saw murderous aura in the man's eyes. He quickly dissolved it when he saw her approaching near them and his expression was completely changed into guilt.‘Did I just imagined that’Yoonji was even more confused now as to why the man was looking at her with guilt.Suddenly he stood up while looking at Yoonji and said nervously."Baby, It isn't how it looks"Yoonji was flabbergasted for a moment. Then she turned back to see if the guy was talking to someone behind her, but there was no one.'Who the hell is he talking too and who the hell is calling ‘baby’!!!!???'

    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 sp

    Needless to say, the whole day went horrible with unlimited and unnecessary work.

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.

    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.

    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

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.

    "Is it so? What a special lady" Jae chan commented."Oh you have no idea.

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

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
