Torn between Love and Hate

Forty-Four

Yu Na stormed into her dad's office at home with extensive anger. "Appa! I need you to convince Jiyong to marry me and to leave that gold digger woman he married."

Stunned Mr. Park looked at his daughter in confusion. He knows that he spoiled his daughter rotten but she's the only child he has that he knows of from his previous marriage. Though he re-married they don't have any children. "What is it now? I thought you didn't like to be tied down to just one person? Not even with Jiyong. Isn't that one of the reasons you left him?"

"I know. I know but I think I made a mistake. I want him now and I want to marry him. Please appa do something, hmm?" Yu Na was being childish about all this. "Appa please?!"

Still trying to clear his mind at his daughter's request but he finally gave in. Only his daughter can do this. His wife? So. So. "Okay, okay. Who is this woman then? Give me her name."

Yu Na started jumping up and down like a little child. "Her name is Park Dara. That's all I know about that gold digger b***h. Please appa do everything you can to get her out of the picture." Mr. Park could only nod his head and pick up his phone.

"Go get me all the information about a Park Dara immediately." that is all he said and hang up the phone. Yu Na excitedly hugged her dad before living.

A couple of hours later Mr. Park's assistant called back. "Sir. I'm sending you the information you are requesting in your email."

Mr. Park immediately opens his email and click on the links. He read what it said on there but did not give the full details. It just shows that she is an entrepreneur and that she owns small businesses. Little did he knows that to get adequate details on her they need to search under her full name which is Park Sandara. He then picked up his phone again and ordered his men to take care of her. Meaning they need to scare her off. "You guys know what to do."

Dara just arrived home from visiting her mom and out of the corner of her trained martial arts instinct eye, she saw a shadow behind her. She became alert and ready to face whoever was behind her head-on. Somebody grabbed her from behind but Dara was quick enough to headbutt the guy hard and heard that she broke his nose. The man grimaced in pain as he backs off from her while holding his bloody nose. This made the man angrier at her. Another man started to attack her but she was able to give him a sidekick with her killer stilettos on his chest that made the man fall backward in pain. The other guy tried to grab her again from behind but she stepped on his foot using her deadly sharp stiletto heel followed up by using her right elbow to his face and right rib side. She then suddenly gave him a round kick to his head which made the guy fall on the other guy.

The two men looked at each other and decided to split instead of pursuing what they were supposed to do.

Dara on the other hand knows that she also injured her ankle from her last kick. She poorly landed her ankle and accidentally twist it because of her heels. She was limping as she went inside the house. As always the house is empty and dark. She slowly climbed the stairs to her room holding on to the railing but she's having a hard time for she can not put pressure on her right ankle. She stopped not even halfway through the stairs and rest. She checked her ankle and swelling is now visible. She slowly tried to rotate it to see if there's any fracture. But because of the pain, she can not tell. She forced herself to get up again and took a deep breath.

Jiyong just got in the house and saw Dara struggling to go up the stairs. He immediately ran towards her as he called her name. "Dara!"

Because of the trauma earlier Dara was a bit shaken when she heard her name being called that she missed a step and lost her balance. Jiyong was quick enough to run after her and catch her. Upon seeing her swollen ankle concern arose on his face, and without a word lifted her bridal style towards their room.

Jiyong places Dara carefully on the bed. He bent down on one of his knees and was about to take her shoe off. Dara tried to pull her ankle away but Jiyong held it tighter. He raised one of his brows as he glared at her. Dara then finally gave in and let her husband take a look at her ankle. Though he's not saying anything she can tell that he is somewhat angry because of the vibe she's getting from him. He suddenly got up after carefully putting her foot down and left. She creases her brows wondering why he just left like that.

A few minutes later with a bag of ice packs and a bandage in hand Jiyong came back still not saying anything to her. He carefully lifted her again bridal style and place her on his bed her back against the headboard. He then took the ice pack and place it on her injured ankle. She hisses in pain as she felt the coldness and pressure as Jiyong pressed it on her ankle. Jiyong saw her grimace in pain as he adjusted the pressure.

"Uhmm...I-It's uhmm...fine." she awkwardly said. "I-i can do it myself. Thank you." she nervously said as she tries to assure him. They stared at each other for a while before Jiyong shook his head and finally gave in. He stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He came out of the bathroom twenty minutes later. He checked on his wife's ankle before lifting her again. Dara gasped in surprise as he took her to the bathroom and place her on the counter. She saw that he had prepared the hot tub for her. He started to unbuttoned her top and she immediately turned beet red as shyness took over. She stopped his hand from continuing to undress her.

Jiyong raises his brow at her upon noticing her flushed face. He smirked to himself and leaned closer to her ear and whispered. "I have seen and savored every part of your body babe. No need to be embarrassed anymore." he once again smirked to himself. Stunned Dara could not say a word as she feels chills running along her spine.
