A loud crack of plastic breaking and pieces of hardware scattering across the floor resonated among the stunned people who witnessed Wonwoo's actions in abject horror. But they understood where that anger was coming from because they felt that anger too after seeing the location tracker. Inha placed a hand on her mouth, seeing her husband literally fuming. In a way she felt frightened upon seeing him that way even when she knew that his anger was not directed towards her. Inha cautiously stepped towards her seething husband and held his face tenderly and shook her head to dissipate his anger while her eyes were brimming with tears. She silently conveyed through her eyes that it is not worth it to be angry for her sake. She didn't mind the others witnessing this silent exchange of love she showed Wonwoo while he was ready to burn the whole world for her.
Wonwoo then clasped her hand and kissed her wrist softly, seemingly calming down due to Inha’s actions.
“Let's go inside” Inha said, her voice barely a whisper as she tugged her husband by his hand before whispering a “sorry guys” to the members who were watching the actions of the couples in front of them. Inha took Wonwoo to their bedroom and he resignedly sat on the foot of their bed, hanging his head down. This Wonwoo hurt Inha so much. The one who felt this pain for her with every fiber of his existence.
“Wonwoo” she called out, slightly trembling in his tone to make him look up at her.
“Let's tell this to your parents and take their help”
Wonwoo lifted his head at his wife’s words with an expression that mirrored some sort of sadness and relief. He was sad because he couldn't help Inha in any way, but at the same time he was relieved to know that he can now seek his parent’s help as the situation has completely gone out of their control and that they were in a situation where they had to seek outside help.
“Okay, I’ll talk to them, Inha,” he said, holding her hand and looking up at her.
“Guess it is time to have the talk with my father too isn’t it?” she chuckled dryly and Wonwoo nodded his head.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get through this together. I think it is better if we meet your father alongside my parents to let them know about your stepmom’s doing.” he said assuring her that she does’nt have to go through this alone.
“Okay, thank you” she said looking into his eyes with so much love and Wonwoo reciprocated the loving gaze back. They naturally leaned towards each other, lips about to brush when a loud knock interrupted them making them flustered. Inha then opened their bedroom door to find Ayat’s husband standing with his laptop bag with a smile on his face.
“Aah! Taha Hyung, come in” Wonwoo beckoned him inside and Taha awkwardly greeted Inha and Wonwoo as he stepped inside the room.
“Hope I am not interrupting anything” he sheepishly said. “Ayat said I could talk to you guys today”, he said to the young couple before laying down his laptop bag on Wonwoo’s desk.
Inha though hadn’t seen the handsome Qatari Prince before pieced together that he was Ayat’s husband. Addressing Inha, he said: “Apologies for not attending your wedding Ms.Kang. I was in Qatar at that time and I came back to Seoul two days ago only. The minute I landed, my wife wanted me to look over the financial matters concerning you and your family. So I am here to share my findings after I went through the documents collected by Ayat’s grandmother.”
“Its okay Prince Taha. Thank you for your help and also you may call me Inha” Inha replied formally but earnestly showing her respect to a Royal before her. Taha laughed and said, “You may just call me Taha” he said smiling at her, showing her his humble side and that’s when Inha realised what a beautiful couple Ayat and Taha make. Even though both hail from the Royal families of the UAE and Qatar respectively, they never allowed for their royal titles to rule over their personality and were always humble when dealing with people.
“So, let’s start, shall we?” he said taking a seat on Wonwoo’s chair, whereas the young couple sat on the foot of their bed to listen to whatever the financial lawyer had to say. Taha then briefed them about his findings: The missing shares from Inha’s mom’s portfolio, the sudden surge of shares in the stepmom’s portfolio after the mom’s death, the case of the missing shares and whether they may be accumulated in a custodial account for safekeeping as Inha was a child when her mother passed away, if not, the different methods to trace where it might have gone. Taha was meticulous in providing his help and both Wonwoo and Inha were in awe of him.
“Ayat mentioned that you aren't keen about the functioning and the shares of your father’s company, Inha-ssi, but my humble request is to make sure you have a talk with him regarding this, so that you will not regret later. While doing my research I read about how your parents built their pharmaceutical company together, so at least finding out where this huge wealth had gone would be like honouring the sweat and blood your mother might have shed during this process.” he said trying his best to convince the young lady who never chased behind her parent’s wealth. However no further convincing was necessary because now Inha was hell-bent on finding where her mom’s money went.
All these while, Inha stayed away from all the financial matters because she did not want to come in between her father and his new family. But now, after Taha’s expert guidance she realised that it was her right to inherit her mother’s riches and she wasn't going to backdown from it, no matter who came in between to thwart her plans, because she knows Wonwoo will always support her and now she also has a powerful person like Taha on her side to help her navigate rough waters if the journey gets tough.
