MASKS (Pent House War in life)

Hera Or Hell Palace

Suryeon smiled at her  children. She had thought it had been a while since she went out with the twins and so she planned a whole day just for  all three children.

Seokhoon would rather be anywhere but cloth shopping but since hhs mother had tugged him along he felt inclined . 

Min Seol Ah was happy with the quality time she spent with her mother since she was told that they had only reunited recently .

Seokyung at first was happy when her mother had told her about this but her mood dampened immediately she heard Min Seol Ah was also tagging along. It felt like every since the shorter girl came into their lives , the former tutor was trying to invade and hog  everything ; her home , her school and now her mother's attention and love.

Min Seol Ah handed Seokhoon a blue leather jacket , "I think this suits you."

Seokhoon actually agreed with her.  It seemed like something he would wear  . one look from Seokyung  and he shook his head ,  "it's not my taste."

Seol didn't say anything, she had been trying to get know her siblings and Seokhoon was more approachable than Seokyung.

"It's fine."

"Seol. Seokyung" Suryeon came with two dresses , "I got these for you . Try them out. Do you like them?"

Seokyung liked the dress her mother had selected for her but the stubborn side of her didn't want to share her mother's affection with somebody else.

She pretended to look at them with disapproval, "I don't like either."  She went off in another section earning an exhausted sigh from Seokhoon.

"It's ok." Suryeon said hiding her hurt.

Seol Ah shook her head - why did Seokyung hate their mother . She smiled and accepted the green dress her mother had selected for her , "I like this one."

Suryeon smiled and patted her shoulder , "Seokhoon. Is there anything you like?."

Seokhoon shook his head with a smile , "not yet."

Logan was at the mall after finding out Anna was there. He watched as her mother selected clothes for her along with her stepchildren.

Logan was told Anna's mother had abandoned her at the orphanage. So why or was she taking her affection like his mother had done to the poor thing using her untill she served her purpose?

He didn't believe Shim Suryeon was unaware of the wicked  deeds her husband and her children inflicted on Anna. What woman would let her child be in the same house hold with the people who tormented , humilated and tried to kill her daughter? Her own biological child.

But as he looked into her beautiful eyes and the way she smiled at Anna ; a  small part of him couldn't help but think she wasn't a evil woman which contradicted his initial thoughts about her.

He watched her make her way to the counter with the shopping bags to pay for the purchases.

   He pretended to bump into her  "My apologies. I wasn't paying attention." He let his English slip out .

Suryeon faced the grey sliver haired with the American accent who was wearing dark shades .  "it's fine."

"Your accent is very fluent  Ms. Shim. "

"I studied in Canada once got a diploma in Fine Arts "

Even the way Anna's mother spoke sounded graceful and elegant. Logan couldn't deny he was impressed by how classy his woman was , she had a regal aura around her that seemed natural. Like she could command a room by just being.
