Ｓｔｏｒｙｌｉｎｅ
Jungkook is a powerful businessman, London returns, a brutal fighter, and born in a privileged Kim family. One project forced him to work and stay with his enemy, whose secrets he hid for a long time. He has only one piece of a page but wa...
Yeri watched as Jungkook angrily strode out of the room. She knew he was striding out of her life, too. The man she had known intimately and grown closer to over the past few months was a very proud man.
By offering to cheat and also telling him she had chosen to marry another man, she had cheapened their relationship, ultimately distancing herself from his heart.
She tried to ignore the painful tightness within her chest.
She already knew from personal experiences that life could be cruel and unfair.
She also knew she had to do what it took to survive. But she never thought she had to hurt the person she deeply loved.
Rage grew within her, and she walked out of the room towards her aunt who was still seated in the chair, browsing through a magazine.
Seeing Mimo behave like everything was normal, something inside her snapped. She drew out her gun and pointed it at the older woman. Her hand trembled as she pulled in every reserve of control to not press the trigger.
Mimo's eyes met hers but did not flinch or panic. "You know you can never press that trigger when it comes to me. And this is not the first time we have had a repeat of this scene."
At her aunt's soft taunt, Kang Yeri closed her eyes as she tried to control her instincts of pumping bullets into the heartless woman in front of her.
Slowly, she lowered the gun in defeat and opened her eyes.
Mimo sighed. "Yeri," she said in a gentle tone. "I know you are hurting now, my love. But like I said, Jungkook is not meant for you. He is a high-born man with Kim Tae-hee's blood running through his veins. He cannot marry a woman whose mother was a whore and a woman with your kind of past.
Lee Amy will be his wife soon. She was brought up in a sheltered and protected environment. She will be the one to carry Jungkook's children in her womb, ensuring the purity of Kim bloodlines."
Mimo rose from the chair and walked up to Kang Yeri. "You will find happiness, too, my love. Lee Je-hoon is a high-born man, and yet, he still wants you. You made a good decision to consider his proposal."

Mimo watched as her niece swept out of the room in disgust.
She knew she could only control and manipulate Yeri so much.
Eventually, her niece would break through the temporary hold she had over her. Yeri was the kind who liked to grab control and power and demand even more.
Mimo shuddered thinking about the day her niece would find out the truth.
Before that happened, she needed to get in touch with someone who could help her.

Later that night, after a long, grueling day where she took care of the Kang Estate issues, Yeri went to bed.
She stared out of the window at the moonless night.
Since her childhood, the darkness had always dominated her life. She had stayed mostly indoors to avoid the loathing looks people directed her way because of who her father and mother were.
Even when she took control later, she was filled with darkness in order to do some of the things she did to maintain peace and order. But after being with Jungkook, she had felt she could embrace the light along with happiness.
And now... she was forced to turn her back on him as well.
For the first time in six years, Yeri wept that night.
