THE ACE

Chapter - 37

AUTHOR POV

The kid went running into the living room, clutching the pink teddy bear in her small hands.
She went and plopped herself down on the couch, her doe eyes glued to the TV screen which was blaring, the news reporter announcing the news for the day.

The 5 year old child's mother was busy clearing up the dining table, as the family had just finished dinner.
As she dusted off her hands, her eyes searched for the clock, which struck 10 pm. Knowing that her husband always watched the 'Today's top 10 news' that came up on the news channel everyday at 10 pm, she herself strolled to the couch to make herself comfortable.

"Jagiya! the Top 10 is coming up!"
She exclaimed and sat down beside her daughter, taking her frail body in her arms.

"Ne ne! I'll be there in a minute!"
Came her husband's muffled reply from the bedroom. He walked out in the living room and sat down on the other side of his daughter, the family's curious eyes now watching the Top 10 news.

But before the reporter could start the 10 pm show, the TV screen loudly buzzed as the man and the woman both gasped. Their hands frantically searching for the TV remote. The buzzing stopped and there appeared several sentences, written in bold.

The man stared at the screen for a minute before reading it out loud.

"Yesterday, at 21:00 hours, Mr. Park Dongmin, Chairman and CEO of the Parks Enterprises was found dead in the Park siblings mansion with a slit throat. And here are the following reasons why I killed him.

i) Mr. Park was the reason behind the Kangs empire Bankruptcy four years ago. This had led to some of the Big3 children getting involved in illegal activities.

ii) The Park Co-operation was involved in illegal activities like child trafficking, forced prostitution and more under Mr. Park's watch.

iii) This man had planned something extremely monstrous that would have destroyed all the big 3 families. Yes, the Park family would've been destroyed too.

You will thank me later.

~THE ACE."

"What the fuck."
The man plainly cursed out, completely forgetting about the fact that his daughter and wife were sitting right beside him.

He sprang up from his seat and scurried around the house, quickly grabbing his phone, car keys and a coat. As soon as he reached the door, he opened and closed it with a bang, causing his daughter and wife to flinch at the noise.

"Jagiya, jagiya!"
His wife kept calling out but the man had only one thing in his mind.
The Park Enterprises.

He closed the car door shut and hurried inside the Park Enterprises building, his eyes looking at all the TV screens still projecting the news regarding Mr. Park's death. Being the Head of the Planning department at the Park Enterprises, he knew this was just the starting, that there was more to come.

~ AT THE PARKS MANSION ~

Jimin and Sooyoung were sitting on the couch, watching the new episode of the Kdrama that they have been into lately.
This was until Chanyeol came from his room and switched the channels, putting up the news Channel.

The younger Park siblings whined until Jihyo came in and shut them up, taking a seat beside the eldest Park. Afterall, the kdrama was the only thing keeping their thoughts away from the current drama in their life.
