After 5 months of custody hearings and attorney meetings, I won primary custody of my children. As a downside, our divorce was finalized a week ago. Joon Young still gets to see his kids on the weekends. I wanted to co-parent without the hassle of bringing it before a judge, but Joon Young was trying to limit my visits to 1 day a week.

It hurt my heart that he would try and use my kids against me, but Mocha refused to love one and hate the other. My suspicions were revealed to be true, when I found out I was in fact pregnant. This caused everyone to push me further away. I was on my own, with the support of Dongho.

Everything changed. I had to get a new doctor, because Roman refused to treat me. I had to get a new lawyer, because Macy chose to represent Joon Young only. Finding work became nearly impossible once someone leaked information about my divorce and so-called infidelity.

Netizens stood in Joon Young's corner and labeled me as a cheater. Internet articles and news headlines trashed my name. Mocha was being bullied in school, because of the lies people spread about me. Thankfully Roman Jr was there to defend her. The value on my pictures decreased rapidly, and I found myself at a standstill.

Even if I lost all of my money, I'd still live. The thing that hurt my heart the most was the fact that the kids at school turned on my daughter. She came home in tears most days. One Friday as I waited for her to come out of school, kids began calling her bad names. Someone pushed her down, and I ran to her defense.

Taking the little boy by the arm, I scolded him. His mother approached the scene yelling at me. She pushed me back and attacked me verbally. "Mocha, go wait in the car with your brother." She did as I said, and I prayed for the Lord's strength not to beat this woman in front of her child.

"Tell your son to keep his hands off my daughter." I growled at the lady.

"Why should I? Everyone here knows that you're a whore." She smirked, causing the other mom's gathered around to laugh. Keeping my anger at bay, I took the high road and walked away. Joon Young was supposed to be here to get his daughter, but he was running late as usual.

A black car pulled up at the exact moment the lady pushed me to the ground. I protected my belly as the women began attacking me. I grabbed the woman responsible and slammed her to the ground. I punched the mess out of her as the others continued to hit me.

There was a sharp pain on my shoulders. I stopped my assault on the lady, as I realized someone just hit me in the back with a big tree branch. How she managed to carry that, I don't even know. The police were called to the scene after Joon Young broke up the fight. He picked me up, but I pushed out of his hold on me.

Fixing my hair and clothes, I steadied my breathing and tried not to cry as the women spoke words of comfort to Joon Young. My heart was hurting, and I leaned my head back on my car while gripping my chest. "Gwenchana?" The cop asked me, and I shook my head no. He took pictures of my bruises, wrote down my statement and fined the other women for assault.

Joon Young approached me as I held Mocha and Junior close to me. "Mommy, are you hurt?"

"Eomma!" Junior cried. I comforted my children the best I could without letting the pain get to me.

"Shhh... shhh... shhh... hey, look at me." I said wiping my kids tears. "Mommy is okay. I will always protect you two with my life. You're my world," I couldn't stop the tears from falling then. "...and I will always love you."

"Lub you, Eomma!" Junior kissed my cheek.

"I love you too, Mommy!" Mocha cried as she gripped me tighter in a hug.
