The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 281: Goodbye, Dear Father

Dong Wook hadn't seen the world outside the detention center he'd been in for the past several years. He had no idea what was happening outside as he was forced to live his life within the four corners of his cell every single day.

If it wasn't for that wretched Jennie ruining his plans, he wouldn't be wasting his time here. His Ji Ah had died after three years after he was put behind bars, and his ungrateful daughter Krystal had not shown herself for over a year now.

He had no idea that his own daughter was also being held in a police station for murdering someone. Unlike him, who was sentenced to a lifetime in jail, Krystal was facing the possibility of receiving capital punishment for her offense.

Dong Wook rolled on his side and tried to catch some sleep. Because of the incident and a riot that happened last night, he didn't manage to get any sleep and had been awake for the past forty-eight hours. He was unwilling to get along with his fellow inmates and was on bad terms with some of them.

He was born in a rural province up north and his parents were very poor farmers. Despite this, his parents hoped that he would be able to improve his quality of life by getting a decent education and getting a job in the highly urbanized cities of the country.

He studied hard and was able to secure a scholarship from a high ranking state university. Dong Wook took pride in the fact that he was able to get first place every year. Later on, once he graduated, he met the love of his life.

Ji Ah was a shop attendant at the nearby boutique in his neighborhood. The two of them fell madly in love with each other and decided to move in together. However, around that time, he met Hye Kyo in the same company he was working for.

Compared to Ji Ah, Hye Kyo had the elegance and temperament of a young miss, as expected from a wealthy family. Not only was Hye Kyo pleasing to his eyes, she was also kind and easy to please. So it wasn't a wonder why Dong Wook became attracted to her the more time he spent with her. However, he couldn't easily let go of Ji Ah.

Dong Wook decided to pursue Hye Kyo in order to climb the ladder faster with her help, while leaving Ji Ah oblivious of his affair. When Hye Kyo's feelings for him deepened, it was only then he decided to break up with Ji Ah, not knowing that she was pregnant with his child. His greed to become related and part of the prestigious Yun family blinded him and he didn't look back.

However, who would have known that instead of living in leisure after marrying Hye Kyo, Dong Wook was denied the acknowledgement he craved from his in-laws? He initially thought that the Song family was looking down on him because of his simple background, not knowing that his wife's family could see past his pretense and was aware of his motive.

It didn't take long before Hye Kyo started her own entertainment agency, Bluemedia. Everyone in his hometown thought that because he was the husband of the president of this agency, Dong Wook had become a big shot, but what they didn't know was that Hye Kyo had never allowed him to hold a huge amount of money. She didn't trust him to manage their finances whether it was at Bluemedia or at home.

Sure, Hye Kyo made sure he was never lacking when it comes to food, clothing and basic necessities, but she had never willingly given him money to spend on other things. This was why Dong Wook tried to get his hands on Bluemedia's projects, taking the chance to embezzle some of the company's funds and trying to go on as many business trips as he could without Hye Kyo suspecting him.

Then, after over a year of being married to her and still childless, they both got themselves checked, only to find out that his wife had trouble conceiving. Dong Wook was livid. He thought that Hye Kyo had deprived him of the things he deserved as her husband. She wouldn't give him money, now she couldn't even give him a child?
