Billionaire's Queen

Eight

Jiyong and Dara are on their way to his house located outside the city. Jiyong notices how his wife seems to be discreetly in awe of her surroundings. She looks like she has never seen such scenery before.

Dara noticed that they have arrived in an iron gated private home with securities guarding the gate. As they entered the iron gate they still went up on top of the hill before a beautiful house appeared in front of her eyes. Jiyong was watching her all this time and she did not even know it. The car then stopped in front of the big mansion with maids all lined up to greet them. As they got out of the car they all bowed their heads down. She feels a bit uneasy by this gesture as she slowly walked looking at them as she tries to greet each one of them. Jiyong walked in front of her and is already by the door waiting for her and was intrigued upon seeing her reaction.

Once inside the mansion, Dara cannot help herself to be in awe of the place. Everything seems to be in black and white in very minimal furniture. Jiyong interrupted her thought as he announced to her that her luggage is already in her room upstairs. She nodded and followed him up the stairs and stopped by the second door before he turned around to tell her. "This will be your room and your things have been put away already."

Dara has a confused expression on her face upon hearing this and so. "I'm sorry, but we are now husband and wife. Having a room for myself is not proper. As I have mentioned to you before I will fulfill the duty of a wife in any way possible if you can just please give me some time to adjust."

Jiyong discreetly grinned upon hearing this before saying. "Very well then come follow me." he then led her farther down the hall and opened a door. He signaled her to enter first. She hesitated for a bit and contemplated to herself if she's indeed making the right decision. This didn't come unnoticed to Jiyong as he studied her. She then took a step forward and walked inside the room. Once inside. just like the rest of the house, its interior design is mostly black and white with just a king-size bed in the middle of the room with two side tables. There is however a balcony outside with a big sliding door overlooking the city lights. She notices a table and chairs outside in the balcony.

"Do you want to take a shower first?" He asked as he stared at her.

Dara was nervously dumbfounded. Her cell phone suddenly buzzed which made her jump a bit as she looked at Jiyong and gave him an awkward dance. She picked it up and it shows that it was Jaejoong. She nervously looked at him again and excused herself for a bit. "Hello. Yes, I will be right there." She said as she hangs up and slowly turned around to face her husband. Feeling nervous she begins by saying. "Uhmm...I-i have to go. I have a photoshoot in a couple of hours." Jiyong studied her a bit confused himself.

"What do you mean a photoshoot? What is your line of work to be exact?" He could tell that she is a bit nervous and is having a hard time. "It's okay we will talk later when you get back. I will ask the driver to take you there."

"Uhmm...it's okay my assistant is on her way right now to pick me up. I just need to give her the direction. Would that be okay?"

Jiyong nodded. "What time will you be home?" he asked trying not to sound concern.

"I'm not really sure. It all depends on the photographer of how much they need." She replied. Jiyong studied her again and just nodded afterward. She then texted Chaerin the address. She also started packing the things she needs and placed them in a bag while Jiyong was quietly watching her.

Her phone rang again and this time Chaerin is already by the gate waiting for her. "Uhmm...I have to go. She's already at the gate."

Jiyong called the guard and asked them to let her assistant in. They then heard the door bell. Jiyong went ahead to open the door and Chaerin was shocked and froze when he saw the man who opened the door. "Are you planning to just stand there?"

Chaerin recovered and finally found her voice. "M-Mr. Kwon. I'm sorry I must've have rang the wrong house." She nervously said. But then Dara showed her face behind Jiyong.

"Chaerin, good that made it. Please if you don't mind help me with his." Dara said as she handed Chaerin her bag. But Jiyong intercepted and took the heavy bag from her as their hands accidentally brushed each other and once again that electricity feels is there again. Their eyes connected but Jiyong pulled through first.

He walked both of the women out to the car and loaded her bag in the trunk. Chaerin is still dumbfounded upon seeing Mr. Kwon in person. This is very rare for nobody dares to just have a chat with the big boss of all the bosses. He helped Dara to get in the car but waited for Chaerin. "Chaerin is it? Give me your phone." Chaerin once again was dumbfounded and quickly gave him her cellphone. Jiyong typed in his private cell number and handed it back to her. "Make sure to keep me updated in everything that is going on and I expect you to take better good care of her for me." Chaerin could only nod and wondering what he meant by that.

Dara and Chaerin arrived at the photo shoot and as always there are at least five models total. They were given a number for when it would be their turn. Dara happens to be the last one and considering it is now two o'clock in the afternoon she probably won't be done until late tonight. She's a bit hungry for she was not able to eat breakfast nor lunch. She only had water because they can't eat anything before their photoshoot. It was already six-forty five and everyone is having dinner now but Dara only had a small garden salad with lemon dressing and a bottle of water.

Chaerin could tell that Dara is very tired and hungry but unfortunately, she cannot have anything else, besides the small salad that they gave her. She pulled out her phone and started texting Mr. Kwon. "Hello, sir this is Chaerin for the latest update. Miss. Dara is still currently and patiently waiting for her turn. She will be the last one to do the photoshoot and right now we're having dinner. After dinner there is one more model to be photographed then it will finally be Miss Dara's turn."

Jiyong read the message from Chaerin. "What did she have for dinner?"

"Unfortunately all the models that have not been photographed have been given a small garden salad with lemon dressing and a bottle of water. By the way, did she eat anything for lunch? Because she was telling me that she was feeling a little bit shaky and dizzy earlier."

Jiyong frowned as he read the message again and again. He looked at the time and it's already eight-fifteen. That means she is probably hungry and keeping it to herself. Jiyong made up his mind as he immediately changes and went out.
