The CEO's Women | JENLISA (DISCONTINUED)

chapter 1 : Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

The women in the photo had sad eyes.

Jennie hadn't noticed this 3 years ago.
This was the last photo of her mother, taken weeks before she died in a car accident.

Jennie avoided thinking about that terrible day. It was the day her life changed. Not only because of the death of her mother, but also because of her rebirth. Her reincarnation.

Jennie was with her mother during the accident, everyone thought she was lucky to survive that fatal day. No one knew that the original Jennie has passed away. Jennie was now the soul of her past self.

She didn't know how this came to be. Maybe God's have pitied her and gave her a chance to be happy again. She didn't understand why she reincarnated either. In the first place, she didn't die, someone had plotted to kill her. She died because of her choice, wrong choices. She didn't die with any grieveness nor regrets. Okay, who is she kidding?

Jennie did have regrets, but she didn't think that was the enough reason to be reincarnated.

It had been 3 years since accident and honestly she didn't want to go back to her family. 3 years ago when she realized she has reincarnated, the first thing she did was to ask her maternal grandfather to send her abroad. She already knew that her father would marry another woman. Not just a random woman, but his mistress. And Jennie knew that this event would be the start of her doom.

Her father, Joon Kim didn't love her mother. He married her out of convenience.

How ever, her mother Wang Rou, loved  Joon Kim like a sunflower loves the sun. She practically worshipped him. So when she discovered that her husband is cheating on her back with his mistress, she was heart broken.

Wang Rou was the only daughter of prestigious Wang family. Her pride couldn't take the fact that her husband was cheating on her. But Unlike those cliche novel stories, Jennie's mother was intelligent. She didn't try to kill his mistress nor the bastard child.

No she was smarter then that: Wang rou transfered the entire property of her and the company shares to her daughter, Jennie.

As they say, 'Hell hath no fury like a women scorned'.

This earned the ire of Joon kim. Since he could do nothing to his wife, due to her status as the daughter of the Wang Family, he turned his anger towards their only daughter, Jennie kim. He started to ignore and scold her. He then abused her emotionally and psychologically.
This led to Jennie  yearning for fatherly love. She longed for his love and attention.

In her past life, Jennie always wanted to make her father happy. She craved his approval.

However, Two months after her mother's death, Joon Kim brought his mistress, Lu Shi, into their home. He then announced that he will marry her in a month. Jennie was devastated- broken hearted. Especially after learning that she had a half-sister. Nancy was born only two months after her.

When she saw that her father doted on Nancy so much, Jennie became jealous and unreasonable. She started competing for attention. She wanted what Nancy wanted, bullied her, and called her names. When she heard that Nancy had a crush on Jonging, their university's hunk, Jennie directly asked her maternal grandfather to set up an engagement without even knowing the man.

Jongin didn't come from a prestigious family. His family was rich but not as wealthy as the Wang Family. Her grandfather tried to disapprove, but Jennie threw a tantrum and threatened to sever her ties with the Wang's. She acted irrationally and started defying her grandfather. When her grandfather suggested a prenuptial agreement, she was enraged. She didn't want Jongin to feel like she didn't love him. She wanted to show off to the world, or rather Nancy, that she and Jongin were in love.

Jennie wanted to laugh at her previous self's foolishness. How could she even like a man like Jongin? Yet she still chose to marry him in her past life. Little did she know that Nancy and Jongin were already long-time lovers by the time Jennie had married him. Yes! She became the antagonist of her stepsister's perfect love story! She was now the only obstacle to their sincere love and affection.

After three years of marriage, Jongin divorced Jennie so he could marry her younger sister. To her dismay, he got half of her property during their divorce. Thinking about it now, Jennie couldn't help but be angry at her former self. How could she be so senseless? She wasted her youth because of people like them.

In this lifetime, Jennie will make sure not to spare any time in associating herself with toxic people. Nope, She will not even spare a single emotion for those people. She will not get revenge nor get angry. They do not deserve her attention. Not her stupid father, not her manipulative stepmother, not her white lotus step-sister and certainly not the arrogant and dumb Jongin.

"Young Miss, it's almost dark. The old master called to ask where you will stay tonight." A respectful voice interrupted her thoughts.

Jennie looked at the man standing next to her. He had short cropped hair and amicable black eyes. It was Wang Bolin, her trusted bodyguard, and personal driver. He was personally picked by her grandfather to serve her. Wang Bolin has handsome features for a man in his forties, but he was determined not to marry. He used to serve as a guard for her mother before she got married. Rumor has it that he never got married because he loved her mother.

"I'm going to my mother's house. Tell Grandfather I will visit him tomorrow," Jiang Yue answered. It was around two hours ago that she had landed in Xin City; the place where she was born.

She looked back at the photo in her hands, and then at the tombstone. She let out a long sigh and allowed herself a few minutes of mourning.

Before walking away from her mother's grave, Jiang Yue murmured, "I'm back Mother! I am back."
