JEONGHAN’s POV
I woke up and realized that I was in a hospital room. I sat up immediately when I saw the IV line attached to my left arm. What happened to me? I look around and I saw nothing.“Yoo-Mi? Honey? Where are you, baby?” I asked, then I saw a dark figure of a man sitting in the armchair. “Dad?”“Jeonghan, it’s me, Cheol.” He stood up and came near me.I looked at him blankly, trying to figure out what had just happened. I looked at my surroundings and there’s no one else but him. Cups of coffee and food boxes on the table near him proved that he had been with me for quite some time.“Are you okay?” He asked, with a concerned expression.“Yeah, I’m okay. What happened?” I sat up on the bed slowly and leaned my back against the padded headboard.He settled on the chair beside the bed and I saw my brother’s face clearly. His puffy eyes, the tiredness onJEONGHAN’s POV“Daddy?”I rushed to her and engulfed her in a hug, sobbing. “Honey my baby.” I cried hugging her small frame, and she was crying too. Her tiny arms wrapped around my neck, her small sobs made me cry even more.We pulled away and I wiped the tears in her eyes. Honey sniffed and I can still see the sadness in her eyes.“Dad, do you remember me now?” Honey rasped.“Of course baby, of course.” And I hugged her again, tighter this time. “I love you, baby, I love you so much.”Tears pooled again in her eyes. “Daddy, where’s mommy?”I choke in my tears and I swallowed the lump in my throat. How could I tell her? How could I tell her that Yoo-Mi was kidnapped without hurting her so badly?I looked at Yoo-Mi’s mom and grandma and they were watching us with tears in their eyes. Grandma looked away and left, she walked towards her bedroom and closed
JEONGHAN’s POV“Brittany,” I gritted my teeth, my voice filled with anger. I was trying my best to control the fire burning inside me so that I can get her to fill in the information we needed first.Brittany scoffed. “So baby boy, I just want you to know that your precious girl is here with mine."“Fuck Brittany! Where is she? What did you do to her?” I hollered, unable to control it the moment she confirmed she was with her, my loud voice echoing in the room, my hands gripped the side of the table like I’m able to topple it any moment.Bitch!Mom looked like she was about to have a heart attack after hearing Brittany say the fact herself, her favorite person, the daughter-in-law she always wanted.Brittany laughed in a way that made the temperature in the room drop significantly. She was like a madman who was possessed by another madman. A psychopath.“Relax baby,” she said, “You can get
YOO-MI’s POVI quietly got up from the bed and kissed Jeonghan’s lips before I walked inside the shower room and took a quick shower. The wound on my side is almost healing so I didn’t have to put a bandage on it anymore.I put on the pink sundress that Jeonghan bought yesterday morning. My long brown hair was styled in loose waves.I walked towards the nightstand and picked up my phone but it was dead bat, I remember telling last night Jeonghan that we needed to recharge it so that his dad could contact us once he arrives to fetch us here in the hotel.I felt so excited about going home. I missed Honey so much.I take a look at Jeonghan and a smile touched my lips as I remember how we spent our last night here in the hotel.He was so sweet and passionate, so wild and hungry like he wouldn’t want to stop from our lovemaking. I told him I would pass out if he won’t stop and he just gave me a wicked smile but stopped eventual
YOO-MI’s POVMy head was spinning like crazy and I could hear my own heavy breathing. My eyelids flickered and when I tried to open my eyes, a sharp pain hit my head so I squeezed my eyes shut again.Before I could muster the energy to open my eyes, I was splashed with cold water on my face. I gasped and my eyes snapped open.My vision gradually came back to me. I realized now that I was trapped in a place, in a dirty warehouse and all I see were two men and a woman.I was sitting but I couldn’t move my body. Fear engulfed me and my body shuddered. I have no energy that I couldn’t move and I was tied on a chair, my wrists and legs were tied. My hands were shaking when I tried to move them, feeling the harsh rope burn my skin the more I try to free my hands from it.I snapped my head up to see the person who just splashed the water in me and I was right, it was Brittany.She ditched the can of water on the ground before turning her back
JOSH’s POVThe atmosphere in Maldives was too different from Seoul. Few people walking along the way, the air is so fresh, waters everywhere.The island looked exactly like those images floating across your screen—bright sun, transparent blue lagoons, house reef teeming with fish, sand beaches that stretched out into nothing but miles and miles of turquoise waters, and blue skies.A tropical paradise indeed, but I’m not here for a vacation. I came here to fetch the person I’ve never got the chance to see for almost a year now, my dad.The car that took me from the airport pulled up in a huge hotel and I immediately climbed out and entered inside and asked the information desk for my father’s room number.I knocked three times and a lady in white opened the door, his private nurse. “Yes sir, what I can I do for you?”“I am Philip Hong’s son.”As soon as I entered dad’s roo
JOSH’s POV“Did you get her? Good,” Brittany hung up the phone and faced me. “So now that they have taken Yoo-Mi, you have to wait for the car in front of that building.” She pointed to the tall building at the back of her house. “And get inside the black car once it stopped. See you in the warehouse.”And she left me alone in the house. When I saw her drive her way out, I hurriedly ran upstairs and unlocked her room. I opened the secret vault pressing the password that dad gave me.I gathered all the documents that were signed by her and Mr. Lee with dad’s approval. The documents that they signed in merging our companies. When I got all I needed, I stormed out of the room and climbed down the stairs.I ran towards the kitchen and opened the backdoor to look for the building that Brittany ordered me to wait but my eyes darted on the beautiful view right in front of me. The whole backyard was arranged for a wedding,
YOO-MI’s POVI whimpered, tears rolling down my cheeks as I felt Josh's warm embrace wrapped around my body. He’s crying too, I could feel it the way his shoulders shook.“Josh?” I whispered and he pulled me closer. I closed my eyes and another tear fell on my cheek. This was all too painful to me, seeing him betray me made me want to slap him hard across his face.How did he do this to me? All I did was love him as my best friend. I never thought he could do something like this, to kidnap and let me abuse by a stranger. I gave all my trust and love to him that even Honey loved him like her own father.I shook my head slowly as I remembered my daughter and my eyes suddenly darted on Brittany and she was watching us murderously. “Josh!” she called out. “Get away from her!”“No!”“Get the fuck away from her, or she’ll die!” Brittany pointed the gun at my temple and I squeezed
YOO-MI’s POVI groaned softly as I felt my head and muscles ache. My eyes flickered, trying to open my eyes but the blinding light made me wince.“Yoo-Mi?”Slowly I opened my eyes again and I saw white and nothing else. But then my vision gradually became clearer.It’s a white ceiling.My gaze traveled around the surrounding, rays of sunlight coming through the window. I’m in a hospital room.My eyes widened when I remember what happened. I clutched my head hoping the pain would recede.“Josh!” I screamed, the heart monitor began to beep faster.“Babe,” Jeonghan’s hoarse voice made me turn my head, and I found him sitting beside my bed, staring at me with teary eyes. He came closer and pressed his lips into mine “You’re awake.” He broke into a smile. “How are you feeling?” he asked after pulling away from the hug.I’m still trying to absorb wha
