Reborn: Trail Of Redemption

03. Captive

Y/N'S POV

I picked up the calender and marked important dates on it. These are the dates on which not so ordinary stuffs happened in my past life. Today was supposed to be the most important day of my career but Eunha ruined it.

Today is exhibition of my art gallery. I became it's Managing director 2 years ago, right after my graduation.

"Pallatè Paradise" is the Art Gallery that my grandfather started. Grandma loved art, colors and paintings, that's why he started this gallery in her memories.

Grandma died when dad was 16, but my grandpa never loved or married any woman after that. He solely focused on extending his business. He is a one woman man, I wonder why dad didn't inherit his genes? Is there any chance he is adopted??

My dad is a rich businessman and just like any other rich man he also had a mistress who is now my step mother. He married her when mom left us. However, he is loyal to her since then.

Grandpa is very cold on outside but he is very soft inside. In my previous life I was very close to him in childhood. He is the person who inspired me to be an artist. He loved art and I followed that. My father loved music, so Eunha followed his wish.

I was forced to play Violin as well since dad wanted me to be sophisticated and learn arts and etiquettes to be a perfect trophy wife, while my future husband can handle the business. That's precisely his jealousy towards my birth mother, who was quite intelligent and much more capable to handle the company compared to him. Moreover she was highly favoured by Grandpa which added feul to his jealousy.

I left Violin after an year though, since I wasn't even passionate about it. Dad was definitely enraged by this but his anger calmed down when I said I am courting Eunwoo. That's what he always wanted, to set up one of his daughters with Cha Eunwoo, one of the most desirable bachelor.

He was totally supporting my decision of marrying Eunwoo and bear a boy who can handle KN Group in future.

However, my grandfather is a man of wise and modern thoughts. He wanted me to pursue business along with arts. Dad didn't liked this decision but couldn't go against him.

As for grandpa, even though we were close in my teenage years but the distance increased after mom left. I don't know why, but suddenly I wasn't visiting him anymore. I was always in my room busy with novels and comics. Reality seemed harsh and tough to accept, so I searched my peace in books and fictional stories.

However, then I fell for Eunwoo who changed me entirely. He became a reason to look pretty, to get up from bed, to hope for a better future. Eventually he accepted my proposal and once again I became more outgoing but my relation with grandpa didn't improve. I kept on messing up things to make him disappointed in me.

I won't make this mistake again. I need his help to achieve my goals. I have to get his favour.

Grandpa started Kang Art and Business Foundation on grandma's name. It is Korea's number 1 Private Art and Business School. It takes admission based on it's private entrance scores as well, moreover the scholarships are provided to students who are talented but cannot afford it.

Courses like Art, Acting, Theaters, Musicals, Sports and Business are taught here along with all the major school subjects like science, maths and languages.

It has 3 Branches in Korea in all top 3 cities. Every year, 1 student get principle's recommendation for SNU from each branch which makes studies extremely competitive. Grandpa wanted me to be director but I disappointed him.

In my last life I only inherited Pallatè Paradise, however that too was later snatched away from me after falsely accusing me for embezzling the funds. In this life, I won't settle for less. I deserve better than what I got.
