"You look like shit, Calysta," greeted Samantha as she walked into her assistant's office. the woman's bags under her eyes were clearly visible. Not to mention that her face couldn't mask her irritation. Is Yookie's problem that big?Since there was no answer from Calysta-she seemed to be busy with her cell phone-Samantha finally asked again. "What happened at Yookie's?""My uncle was taken by the police."Samantha was wide-eyed with disbelief. "How?" She pulled up a chair. "Tell me what the problem is."Calysta let out a long sigh, but then she told the story of what happened yesterday. Complete with her difficulty in finding a lawyer. Because lest she put her trust in the wrong person, the lawyer could bring them to a standstill."Oh my God!" Samantha covered her mouth. "This can't be allowed. Why didn't you give me any news?"Calysta massaged her forehead immediately. "I'm too messed up and don't know how to think straight, Auntie."

Of all the plans he had made for his own personal gain, why was nothing going right? There was only one thing that comforted him; the news that had surfaced and started dragging his name. It was what she wanted the most but if it was made in a state of confusion like this, wouldn't the victory be meaningless?"Auntie, what about the lawyer for my uncle?" asked Calysta as soon as Samantha started to calm down. It was nothing, ever since the phone call from Keith was cut off, Samantha started to panic. She was babbling while occasionally swearing."If Keith drags me into the law, that means I'll have to deal with Goojoo, Calysta," she said as she ruffled her once neat hair. "No, that's a nightmare." She covered her face in frustration. "I need to find a way to solve my problem." Right, there was no time to stay idle like this. lest Keith realize his words.Ask for a refund of the funds that have already come in, even if it's not the full amount. But what about the

Before Austin knew it, his Calysta had changed. He fell in love with the person in front of him. I don't know what turned Calysta into a very different person than Austin had ever known. So different that Austin felt the woman in front of him was no longer the woman he loved."What is your purpose?" The man began to pace slowly, getting closer to Calysta who was still standing where she was. "You want Goojoo destroyed?" There was no answer from Calysta. So once again, Austin asked, "Enrich yourself and help people who are actually excluded from this family?"Calysta was still the same; silent."ANSWER!!!"The woman shook her head in shock. Her eyes were wide open. Even her body trembled with fear because Austin's voice was so dominating. "I don't want to see Goojoo standing still. It's your mother's precious treasure, right? You're just the manager, Austin. But the original owner is still your mother."The man blinked slowly. "That's what you want?

Calysta did not want to leave even after the words that were still ringing in her ears. She was asked to leave this house? Divorce? No-no. This could not happen to her. And to add insult to injury, all the things she had done that were pressuring and straining her were not being ignored by Austin."No," Calysta grabbed her hair with her eyes darting around. Her head was constantly spinning whether it was what happened with her uncle, the conversation with Samantha, Kate's confession, or Austin's treatment of her. Not just tonight, but the nights and days where Calysta felt... she was happy.Being treated as well as possible by Austin, always coming first in that man's life over anything else, shouldn't Calysta have realized that Austin's words of love were no joke? Despite that, she let her misplaced heartache dominate her mind."Madam," Poppie called out while trembling slightly in fear. Her eyes occasionally glanced at the big lady watching her at the top of t

Calysta woke up with a weak body and a dizzy feeling that was truly excruciating. But the most devastating thing was that when she opened her eyes, there was no one around her. There was only an IV bag and the room was completely silent except for the sound of the cooling machine and the TV that seemed to have been turned on deliberately."Here I am," she sighed softly. Trying to get up from her uncomfortable slump. "Ugh," she complained as she massaged her temples. "What's wrong with me, anyway?" Her memory began to fill her dizzy head. Starting to remember what happened to her life in the twenty-four hours before she ended up in the hospital bed.Everything began to organize into pieces that Calysta could remember clearly. It made her chest tighten and her head throb even more. "I... I still can't believe that the one who made my mother suffer was...," She looked down while gently tugging at her already messy hair. She didn't care about her appearance anymore. All sh
