The Villain's Wife

Old Man Zhou narrowed his eyes at his son. He felt his blood boiling in fury. "How dare you-"

His words were interrupted when Kang held his hand against his father's face. "Please... father." He said, almost lazily. As if talking to his father was such a bother. "This is the time to celebrate. Why don't you join me instead?" His lips slowly curved into a smile. "Come... Come... lets toast for that..."

*PAK*

"You ingrate!" the old man fumed as he slapped his son's hands. "How dare you kill your own brother?"

"Ex- Brother." Kang corrected him. "He stopped being my brother when he decided to betray us."

"How could he betray us? Jennie is already dead! There is no way that he would go to Lisa!"

"He did." Kang responded. "He went to see him. So I... I blew him up before he could say any incriminating words against us."

"You -" The old man's face contorted into an ugly scowl as he clutched his chest. He held unto the chair and used it to support himself. "My medicine..."

Instead of panicking, Kang only raised an eyebrow at his father. "What medicine?" He smiled. Seeing this, horror flashed across the old man's eyes. "What medicine are you talking about, father?" His words were laced with mockery. It was as if he was talking to a clown.

The old man opened his mouth in a silent scream. For the first time, fear flashed in his heart as he realized the monstrosity that Kang was about to do. He clutched his chest tighter as he tried his best to breathe.

"Father?" The smile on Kang's face didn't falter. He leaned towards the old man, a sinister glint in his eyes. "You know... I wouldn't stop you from dying, right?"

The old man stared at him in response before he fell down to his knees, creating a loud thud in the process.

"Dying is a part of our lives. Preventing you from this is just... an abomination. It is against God's will." Kang beamed at his father on the floor. "Goodbye, father. I will make sure to create many opportunities from your death."

The old man's gaze turned hazy as he continued to stare at his son. "You will regret this." He uttered inwardly as darkness swallowed his consciousness.

Sky City.

"People from Luxembourg are already on their way. Because of his hectic schedule, the Grand Duke will stay one night then leave the next day." Seulgi said. "Mikaela, Eliza, and Levi, as well as the Duchess, will stay for the funeral. Jisoo and Chaeng will also arrive today and will stay with us."

"Hmmm..." Lisa nodded. \"What about Jack Arison?\"

"He is also on his way. He said... he needed to finish something and make sure his father is taken cared of while he is gone. One thing though..." Seulgi gave him a hesitant look before he continued. "The Madam's brother will not come."

Lisa nodded. "And her father?"

"He is coming."

"Good. I want to know why Taehyung won't come. Just don't make it too obvious that you are asking questions. I don't want Jack to think that I am doubting him."

"Got it." Seulgi said before he bid Lisa and Sehun goodbye.

"You still think it was Jack?" Sehun asked when Seulgi.

"He tried to tell Jennie not to marry me." For Lisa, that was already a red flag. "Plus... His father, George, is still unconscious until now. Instead of being supportive of the marriage, Jack had been acting... weird. Something about him is not right."
