Fated Love

Ch~12 || Disagreements

We arrived at the restaurant, the manager greeted us at the entrance, bowing slighty.

"Welcome Mr. And Mrs.Kim. Its an honor to have you here tonight. Everything is prepared as requested." The restaurant was entirely empty, just as I'd asked, with soft lighting casting a warm glow across the interior. There was a table set for two in the center, adorned with flowers and candles, giving it a private and intimate feel. I hoped it wasn't too much. I just wanted her to feel comfortable. I turned to look at Yn who was looking around surprised as she whispered to herself "Wow!"

I pulled out a chair for her and made her sit "It's not often, we go out or are on good terms so i thought I'd make this comfortable for you". She nodded smiling and muttered a small thank you as i took my seat. I looked at her as she focused on the menu. I noticed the cozy amber light falling on her face highlighting her facial featured and enhancing the curve of her lips and cheeks. She looked beautiful that it made me forget about the rivalry between us as well as the chaos.

The server returned with a food. I noticed a genuine smile spread on her lips as she sniffed the aroma of the food.. It was the first genuine smile that has cracked today on her troubled face and i felt satisfied. We ate peacefully having a few light conversations and soon we headed home.

A week later

Taehyung sat behind his desk, typing on his laptop, his focus unwavering in the quite room. Suddenly his phone buzzed, slicing through the silence as he stared at the caller ID. It was one of his men as he picked up the call.

"Sir, We have traced Money transfer. It's to the dummy account we found out earlier. It's from...Mrs.Kim's father. A few weeks before your grandfather's death."  His man spoke.

The words were like a punch to Taehyung's gut. "You sure about this? This better not be some mistake" He growled as the man spoke "No sir. Im sure money was transferred from Mr.Kang's account." Taehyung nodded and hung up. He ran a hand through his hair. He knew he had to talk to Yn and he also knew her reaction won't be pleasant and the bond they had formed over the weeks might become damaged.

He picked up his coat and phone and walked out of the office as his employees bid him goodbye. He sat in his car and drove home as quick as possible. He drove through the streets as he soon reached the familiar mansion. He parked his car and got down and walked towards the door. Taking a deep breath, he entered and saw Yn on her laptop on a call with someone. He loosened his tie, pulling out his shirt and sat opposite to her opening the top few buttons and rolling his sleeves.

Yn hung up the call and noticed him and smiled "Hey. Your home"

He sighed staring at her and didn't return the smile but said  "We need to talk".

She caught on his tone of voice and asked "What happened?".

"I got information from my men. The third party. There has been money transactions. A few weeks before my grandfather's death." he started cautiously.

"Mhm Between whom?" She asked. He sighed and said "Your father"

Her eyes widened "What are you tryna say?"

"Im trying to say that, Your father might actually be involved this. The theory that we thought that only the third party was involved is wrong. Your father was involved too." He said

"No" She  said "There is no way he could have done that. No. I won't believe this"

"But I have evidence Yn. He might have given money and killed my father joining hands with the third party and once my grandfather died, the third party might have killed your father as well for assets and everything mentioned in the contract" He replied in a matter of fact tone.

"I don't care about the evidence!!. And he would never betray me and our family and put us in danger!" She snapped.

"Then explain this Yn!" He shouted back at her. "Explain these huge transactions! Explain how it leads to him, if he was so innocent!"

Her eyes brimmed with tears "So what? You think my father's responsible for your grandfather's death? That he is the villain of all this story?"

"Look Im tryna figure it out too? Alright? Im trying to prove you right. To find out and prove it isn't your father. but it is pointing to him" He said.

"Just like how it is pointing to your father for killing mine? For revenge of a death my father didn't do? Be real for once Taehyung. What if it was a mere business transaction. A investment or something. You know how business contracts work right? It isn't necessarily something related to your grandfather's death" She said. "What if they were purely business?".

She had a point "Yn, Im not saying your father was definitely involved in anything sinister but the timing-"

"Timing can be coincidental!" She interrupted him. "Just because money was moved, it doesn't mean something malicious. And All three were in a business dealing and it could be a dealing. And think , in the trio 2 are dead and the 3rd is unknown. If my dad had joined hands with the third part and your father didn't kill him how did he die? Most probably the third party. Then how could the transaction be done by my father to kill your grandfather. He was on the third party's side but he isn't alive. He must be killed by the third party" She spoke sternly.

He was shocked at the theory as it was the most logical. "So you are saying it could be a random transaction? And that the third party planned the dealing well and killed my grandfather and soon after your father making it look like your father killed my grandfather and for revenge my father killed your father. The culprit is trying to tear our family apart for some reason. But we still don't know for sure. I will dig deeper." He said firmly.

"And if after digging deeper and getting facts it is proved that it is my father. Im ready to believe it" She said and walked away.
