Billionaire's Queen

Eighteen

As Dara and Chaerin are packing for their trip later that night, Jiyong went to his office and is now arranging to cancel his scheduled meetings for the next three days with Seungri. "Ri, book me three first-class flights to London, for this evening. Actually, book the whole first class. I want my wife to have privacy and be able to relax during the flight." Jiyong commanded.

"Yes. Right away sir." Ri replied.

After they were done packing Dara's things Chaerin decided to go home and pack her things as well. Dara is now standing outside on the balcony facing the castle, the place where she was born. She still has not revealed her true identity to her husband yet. Ever since she stepped out of this balcony a week after she moved in with Jiyong and saw the castle in front of her, she recalls all the horrible things that happened the day of her 10th birthday celebration. She would constantly sneak out there to just stare at the castle she longs to go back to. She found out a couple of days ago, from her adopted dad that her royal parents are now back in the castle hospital because her father is somewhat getting worse and still in a coma. Tears of sadness started to flow down her face and on top of that, she also felt sad for this is the first time that she and her husband will be apart after six weeks of marriage. Yes. Six weeks of blissful discovering what each of them likes and doesn't like. They have gotten to a point where they have enjoyed each other's company with no filter. Though they have not still consummated their marriage both are happy with what they can offer each other. The trust is now getting stronger every day.

Jiyong was standing and leaning his shoulder on the frame of their bedroom door. He was studying his wife as she stands outside the balcony. He knows that she has a lot in her mind that she is still not able to reveal to him just yet. He's been patiently waiting though he wants to help her unload those things that have been bothering her. He heard her sniff and knows that she is crying. He felt in his heart as if something is squishing it. He took a step towards her and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Dara heard footsteps from behind and knows right away that it was her husband. She felt his arms wrapped around her and right away she felt comforted. Silence enfolded both of them as they each understand and respect each other as they stare out in the open.

At the airport, Chaerin and Dara were in line to check-in for their flight when two women in their early twenties recognized Dara and started squealing her name. "Omg! It's Sandie! Sandie Park!" the people around them got curious and turned to see.

The girls immediately walked towards Dara and were giggling their hearts out. "Hi! You are Sandie Park right the teenage top model back to back a few years ago?" one of the girls spilled out excitedly.

Dara then sincerely smiled at the girls. She didn't bother to put on a disguise because she didn't think that people will recognize her in this country. The girls took out their phones and asked if they can take photos with her which she agreed. Chaerin on the other hand was stunned when asked if she can take the picture. Other people began to gather around them and also asked for pictures with her. Though they are not familiar with her she is beautiful to their eyes. It took a while and a few airport securities to quiet down the number of people surrounding Dara.

They are finally able to reach the counter to check-in. Chaerin was the one handing the clerks their tickets and go through the whole process absentmindedly not paying attention that their tickets had been upgraded. Now they are seated waiting to be boarded.

Chaerin felt exhausted and dumbfounded by all the occurrences that just happened. She quietly googled Sandie Park and was in complete shock upon discovering that Dara and Sandie are the same people. She's baffled that Dara did not disclose these very important details to her. A bit frantic she furrowed her brows as she stared at Dara.

Dara tried to ignore her because she does not feel like this would be the place for her to discuss anything with her assistant. "I know that you have plenty of questions to ask me but if you don't mind I don't think this is the right place to discuss it. It can wait until it would just be the two of us." she quietly informed her and the latter started to relax for now.

The announcement for boarding started and both ladies stood up as their flight tickets were one of those that needs to be boarded first. Standing at the open door of the front of the airplane the flight attendant ushered them to the enclosed sitting section. Dara noticed this right away and furrowed her brows in confusion. "Chaerin when you checked us in did you not notice that we are supposed to be seated at the economy section? If I remember correctly, I read it earlier."

Furrowing her brows as well Chaerin looked at their tickets and was immediately in shock. "I-i thought so too. I was actually wondering why we are going this way."

The flight attendant guided them inside the first-class section. She then turned around with a polite smile and said. "You can sit anywhere you like ma'am. Your tickets have been upgraded to first-class.

Dara and Chaerin looked at each other in confusion but Chaerin suddenly squealed in excitement. "Really!?" Stunned Dara looked around because there isn't anybody else sitting with them.

"Mr. Kim probably was the one who did it, Miss Dara." Chaerin happily said as she took her to sit on the left side of the plane.

Dara however is still unsure when the door opened and the person who she will be going to miss is now standing grinning in front of her. She radiantly smiled upon seeing her handsome husband. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

Pulling her closer to him his grin turned to smile. "Well...three things. First, I know that you will miss me as much as I will miss you. Two since we didn't get to have a honeymoon, consider this as a short getaway. Three, I have business dealings that I have been putting off for quite a while now."

Dara's ecstatically happy as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I am so glad that you are here. Thank you."

Jiyong claimed her lips then and kissed her as if they have parted for a long time and finally, in each other's arms.

Chaerin and the flight attendant cannot control their giggles. Chaerin is like the number one fan of these two lovebirds.

Dara heard them and her face started to turn beet red and she shyly placed her face on his chest in hiding. Jiyong chuckled at her reaction as he hugged her tight.

"Don't worry ma'am nobody else will be allowed to come in here. You have this place all to yourself. Mr. Kwon booked the entire section just for you three." the flight attendant assured her with a smile.

Stunned Dara looked up to her husband. "You really did this?"

Jiyong tightened his hold on his wife and said. "Well...after seeing my precious being bombarded with all those people earlier. I'm glad that I booked this whole section."

"And the securities?" she hesitantly asked.

Jiyong gave her a tight lip smile. "I can't just let those people aggressively surround you like that. Which reminds me. I have arranged bodyguards for you and they will be with you everywhere you go."

Dara was about to disagree but Jiyong immediately told her. "I know, I know. You don't like them being too obvious. I have hired a driver/bodyguard for you and four others to shadow you around. Now they will be your invisible bodyguards. You won't even know that they are there. I promise." he said firmly and Dara could only agree though she won't really need them. But for her husband's peace of mind she accepted.
