Broken Promises

Chapter 1: Heiress

The bustling streets of Seoul came to a standstill as Haein stepped out of her chauffeured limousine. The flash of cameras and the murmur of the crowd announced her presence even before her designer stilettos touched the pavement. Yoon Haein, the only daughter of the richest family in Asia, was a sight to behold. Her long, dark hair flowed like silk down her back, and her perfectly curated outfit screamed opulence: a limited-edition Chanel dress paired with a Birkin bag casually slung over her arm.

Haein was more than just a rich girl; she was the epitome of luxury and extravagance. Her days were filled with indulgence, and she had never known a moment of wanting. If Haein desired something, it was hers, no matter the cost. Her life was a continuous carousel of shopping sprees, exclusive parties, and exotic vacations.

Today was no different. Flanked by her ever-present entourage of nannies, bodyguards, and personal assistants, Haein sauntered into the high-end boutique with an air of nonchalance. The store manager, already informed of her arrival, rushed to greet her, bowing deeply.

"Miss Yoon, it's an honor to have you here. How can we assist you today?"

Haein didn't bother to acknowledge him directly. Instead, she gave a slight nod and began her ritual of selecting items with a casual flick of her wrist. Dresses, shoes, and accessories were pulled from the racks and presented to her, each piece more extravagant than the last.

"Wrap this one up" she said, pointing to a diamond-encrusted bracelet. "And this. And this too."

Her voice was melodic yet commanding, a tone perfected through years of getting exactly what she wanted. The nannies and assistants followed her every move, ready to cater to her slightest whim, while the bodyguards kept a vigilant watch, ensuring no one got too close. The paparazzi, kept at bay outside the store, continued to snap away, capturing every moment of her lavish lifestyle.

Haein's shopping sprees were legendary. She bought everything in sight, often not bothering to even look at the price tags. Today, she moved with the precision of someone who had done this countless times before, leaving a trail of selected items for the store clerks to wrap and bag.

She paused at a display of handbags, her eyes catching a rare, limited-edition piece. She beckoned one of her nannies over, who quickly stepped forward, eager to please.

"Get me this one in every color," Haein ordered. The nanny nodded and immediately relayed the request to the staff.

An hour later, Haein emerged from the boutique, her hands free of any bags, which were being carried by her entourage. She slipped back into the waiting limousine, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as the door closed behind her.

As the car pulled away, she glanced out of the tinted window, watching the world blur past. Shopping was just another task to be checked off her list, another display of her wealth and power. For Haein, this was simply life - a life where luxury was the norm, and where she reigned as the spoiled, bratty princess of an empire built on unimaginable riches.

The limousine wound through the busy streets, heading towards the Yoon family's opulent mansion nestled in the heart of Seoul. The Yoon residence was an architectural marvel, a modern palace with sprawling gardens, an infinity pool, and a staff that catered to Haein's every need. As the gates opened, the car glided up the driveway, coming to a smooth stop at the grand entrance.
