Chin Sun was jealous of Chin Cho because Chin Cho was more beautiful than she was. In fact Chin Cho was adjudged one of the most beautiful women in Z country. If she had gone on a beauty context, she would have won without any stress. She was beauty with brains, but she had no interest in things like that.
On the other hand, Chin Cho was jealous of Chin Sun because their father only care for her.
She was so annoyed with her mother for interrupting her preparation for her final exams and making her travel for more than two hours to come and hear such nonsense.
She strode to the window and leaned on her elbows “am sorry mum, I would not be attending the wedding.” She said bitterly, slightly raising her voice, her anger clearly written on her face.
She disliked her father, step-mother and step-sister, so she has no reason to attend that wedding.
Observably, the dislike was reciprocal, her step-mother and sister did not like her either, but for her father, she can’t give a name to his feelings towards her. it could be dislike, it could tolerance, but not outright hatred.
That girl Chin Sun and her mother have been the reason she had suffered all her life. Chin Sun and her mother had clearly frustrated them, yet her mother would not mind all their evil treatments.
Anyway, she did not blame Chin Sun and her mother, she only blamed Chin Elvis and Bong Ae-Cha for all the pains she had suffered in this life.
She had heard that Chin Sun was getting married to a very rich and influential man. And if Chin Sun sees her in the wedding, her shoulders would even become higher.
So she had no intention of going to that wedding.
Ae-Cha knew that Chin Cho was not the type of girl to be forced into doing anything. If you try to force her, then forget about that thing being done.
But if you plead, persuade, coerce or even sweet-talk to her, she would certainly change her mind. She has such a good nature that makes it difficult for her to harden her heart for long.
She always thought that her mother was too soft hearted and was hoping that she did not inherit such soft heart from her mother. At some point she was afraid that she might have inherited such weakness. ‘soft-heartedness.’ She had hate herself if she does.
But undoubtedly, she has actually inherited that inability to say ‘no’ to someone’s distressed appeal.
So Ae-Cha knew that so long as she is pleading with her daughter, the girl would not refuse her. so she kept pleading with her.
“Please do this for your mum. And beside your father will really be happy.” She said pleadingly.
“is this all about you or all about my father?” she fired angrily at her mother. Her eyes were red with anger.
Chin Cho was really annoyed; for the interruption of her exams preparation,
She has always found it difficult to say no to her mother in anything, but this time around, she was going to say capital NO!
she was not surprised though, but she was agitated. She knew her mother has always had a soft spot for her father, and that is why she had refused to divorce him all these years despite all the evils he had done to her.
She had been abandoned by her father, yet she still wants to please the man who treats her so cruelly.
Chin Cho had come to the conclusion that it was stupid for a woman to be weak and submissive to a man. If she does, he would maltreat her.
“mom, am not going to attend that wedding, if I knew this was why you were calling me, I would not have come.” She said flatly, by now she was fuming as her anger was yet to be abated.
She had thought that her mother’s poor health condition has worsened, and she left everything she was doing in the school and rushed home. If only she knew that it was a matter of Elvis and his family, she would not have come.
she never refers to him as ‘my father’ but always call him ‘Elvis’
“I knew that you would not come, that is why I did not tell you the reason am calling you.” She said to her with pleas in her eyes. She even has to soften the tone of her voice more than normal just to give her the impression that she was begging and not forcing her.
The woman knew that her daughter did not like Elvis and his other family. But for her she was a matured woman, and had since abandoned childish thinking. She may not like Jane and her daughter, but she had once loved Elvis. And it gives her a sense of security and belongingness to think that she was married and have a family.
She was an orphan and grew up in the orphanage, so she had always dreamt of her own family. When she met and married Elvis, she thought she was going to have a happy family after all, but it was not to be so.
Another reason why she decided to stay with Elvis was that she did not want her daughter to grow up without a father figure.
But Chin Cho disputed all these, telling her mother those excuses were not enough to keep her glued to a man like Elvis.
Chin Cho dislikes her father’s attitude and neglect and tries her best to live her life without him.
But her mother would not let the man go.
Chin Cho had scolded the mother several times for clinging on to a man who doesn’t want her. And the woman would always reply. “if he asks for divorce, then I would divorce him, but as long as he didn’t, then I would not be the first to do so.”
And Chin Elvis had not asked her for divorce, since 25 years now, and they have been living this way.
Trying to control her temper, Chin Cho said to her mother “mom, am sorry to disappoint you, I would not be attending the wedding. First I don’t have transport fare, and secondly, I don’t have a befitting clothe.” She said hopping that she would be able to dissuades her mother. “Well you don’t have to bother about those things, I have made provisions for those things, I bought you a new clothe and I have saved some money.” she countered her daughter. Ae-Cha was very prepared for her daughter. Not that she was happy preventing her daughter from preparing for her exams, but she wanted Elvis to know that she was behind him in the family matters. It was this her character that has made Elvis to cherish her more than the other woman. He had refused every effort by Jane for him to divorce Ae-Cha, but he has sticked to her, let Jane kill him if she wants but he would not divorce Ae-Cha. Their divorce is dependent on Ae-Cha. Although, the Jane woman was smarter, sharper, and more educated
If only she had money, she would take her mother to the best medical facility in the country for treatment.But she had no money, and she was just struggling to survive in the school.She was just hoping that her mother would hang on, until she finish’s school and get a job, make money and take care of her mother.All the money the father had been given them had never been enough.Thinking of her mother’s medical treatment, Chin Cho didn’t know what else to say, she nodded, “I have heard you mum, I will attend the wedding tomorrow.”she said this grudgingly, stamping her foot hard on the floor to show her level of annoyance. She really hated the idea of going to this wedding. But she had no choice, she has to do this for her father to be really pleased to give her mother the promised money.tomorrow is Saturday, and she was hoping she would come back with the money, and on Sunday,
Bon-Hwa Rohan Fernando was nicknamed ‘Gravity’ by his friends and mates. He was nicknamed ‘Acada’ by his family. He was like the wind; impossible to trap, dangerous to offend, difficult to predict. He was very arrogant and full of himself.He was tall, handsome, cold and dashing. The domineering aura round him made people breathless when they came close. He was the grandson of the great Bon-Hwa Fernando.The Fernando family has ruled the business sector in Country Z for many generations.The Bon-Hwa Fernando Group was the number one in the country when it comes to money. And also ranked top in the world business ranking, courtesy of Rohan Fernando.The group touched all sectors of the economy; banking, entertainment, health, electronics, hospitality management such as hotels, etc.Rohan was a shrewd businessman, a dare-devil investor, very calculative and intelligent.He was not on
If Rohan Fernando had not been born into a power financial dynasty, he would have been completely destroyed because of the scandal of three months ago. But his family has maintained its financial position for a considerable time in K city in particular and Z country in general starting from his great-grandfather; Bon-Hwa.But right now under the leadership of Rohan, the business has been making waves overseas.The scandal of three months ago was enough to pull an ordinary person to the dust. But the Fernando businesses were too established to be pulled down, no matter what happened.The scandal did not affect the Fernando businesses, it only brought Rohan personal shame and embarrassment.This morning, the cathedral was parked to the brim with people.He had avoided all protocols and had come to the wedding with only three cars. He had his bride with him in one car, the best man and bride’s maid and the bodyguar
“Do you think that the issue of your having a child for him is strong enough to stop this marriage? as a matter of fact, this marriage will go on, then after the marriage, you two can ratify the issue through paternity test.” he concluded. This was final. The priest wanted the girl to stay in the church office till after the marriage, but Rohan refused. “the girl must be in police custody until after the wedding.” On the insistence of Rohan, the girl was taken away by the police. She sure will be tortured at the police custody, that would make her to tell the truth. Rohan was sure of that. The priest asked “where is the bride? Can we go back to the hall for the continuation of the wedding?” It was high time to continue the wedding, the enemies thought that the wedding will not continue. But unfortunately for them, the priest, though old was very resolute, he couldn’t just cancel the wedding on a flimsy excuse of having a child for the groom. Many young people these days, do have
When it became apparent that the bride is not coming back today, the priest suggested postponement of the marriage.“Mr. Bon-Hwa would it be okay for you if the marriage is postponed till your bride comes back?”The priest of God asked in his priestly voice.“With due respect sir, I can’t ever postpone the marriage!” Rohan roared like a lion. Even though he was trying to maintain some level of respect to the man of God.Two international catering companies had been hired to cook; one group was to cater for the stomach of those who would come to the church, while the other group was to cater for those who would come to the reception at Hotel De Tycoon.While the bride was being awaited, Rohan ordered the food to be served to everyone. Everyone in the church was busy eating and drinking while the couple was yet to be joined.Mr. Chin Elvis reiterated what the priest
That was when Jane ; Elvis present wife and the bride’s mother remembered that she had seen someone who looks like Chin Cho, when she was looking for her daughter. But she had shown no interest in the girl, but now maybe the girl could be of help. “Elvis, I saw Chin Cho, come and force her to take her sister’s place for the main time. We need her to save the situation now.” Chin Mae Elvis could not believe his ears; Chin Cho was in this wedding? What could have forced her to be here in this wedding. While wondering these things in his mind, he followed his wife to where she had seen Chin Cho. And he tapped Chin Cho on the shoulder. Chin Cho turned slowly and saw her father. She looked at him without any expression. “Can we talk in a quieter place Cho” her father said softly to her. Chin Cho followed her father to a quieter place inside one of the empty rooms in the church. Chin Mae Elvis was at lost on how to start the conversation. Father and daughter relationship was very s
She left them in that room and rounded a corner. She was not familiar with the church building, she seems to have entered a wrong corner and heard voices. “If Elvis fails to produce his daughter in the next 10 minutes, I will gun him down and dare the consequences.” She heard a venomous voice and approaching footsteps. She hid herself at a corner and watched, two men passed by her, it was Rohan and Dan. She did not know them, but from what they were saying, she knew it was the groom and his man. She stood dead on her feet, she could not believe it. So Elvis and Jane were telling the truth when they said that the man can kill at will and nobody will ask him questions. Was this the type man Elvis and Jane choose to give their daughter in marriage? That was too bad. She had better go and inform Elvis to run for his dear life. If Elvis dies, her mother; Ae-Cha may not survive the shock and may also die and she would be an orphan like her mother was. No! for the sake of her mother, El
