A MAN TO HATE

chapter twenty four

Bellatia

Two hours later,

We are finally having a proper breakfast made by his personal cooking chef

They set up a table in the middle of the botanical garden, and it's just so peaceful and pretty and magical

The birds are chirping, turning just a simple breakfast into a Disney cartoon

Jungkook didn't talk again since I told him I wanted to organize the wedding ceremony like my dream wedding ceremony

I don't know why I hate when he is so silent like that

I feel like he changed a bit since what I said yesterday night

" Hum..." I clear my throat " I asked Suki to come here to talk about the wedding ceremony " I say quietly

He nods without even looking at me

" Okay..." He replies simply

I know if he was in his teasing mood, he would've said that it's our home and I don't have to ask for permission, but he just replies vaguely

I don't add anything else, if he's mad it's not really something I should care about, it's his problem cause everything I said were truth

I still have to work on how to keep my thoughts to myself, but for now it's just so hard

He acted so nice with me a lot of time, I admit this fact

Yesterday he literally ran to save me after our engagement party

I should maybe try to learn how to trust him and put the past behind, and give a chance to this marriage

But I just can't...not yet

He is a Jeon

And I grew up seeing my father losing his shit because of his father

My father would stay awake all nights to work on strategies, to find ways to overcome the embargo they caused our hotel chain from Asia

And not only behind the computers and turnover figures... Jovany Montgomery and Jeon Jung-hyun had many face to face confrontations

Some even made it into the newspapers, people were picking side, shading each man depends on the side they chose to support

All this hostility raised me , I watched my father hating them and naturally I did too

And when I became the successor of my father and Jungkook also became his

The same war and fight over the Montgomery hotel chain continued

Just like my father, I stayed awake late at night, trying to convince our partners not to team up with the competitors
Trying to keep the high standard of our hotels, trying to build and keep a strong clientele despite how rough the competitions are
Plus , I had to deal with Jungkook trying to fail me, steal my investors, and Lord knows how merciless he was

I cried many times in my office, completely furious and burned out

And this scheme continued until he bought Warren's shares, then you know the rest of the story

So, how can I trust him when everything he did so far was hurting me and proving me that there's no exception to the Jeon's greed of power?

That family doesn't inspire me good, and my mind won't change just cause he acted nice to me a few times

" Shu Miyazaki called this morning " he finally says

" Ohw! Hm...great "

He doesn't answer so I add " I guess you get the deal "
