149 DAYS : STILL NEVER YOURS [EDITING]

Chapter 16

"Hello, Myeong Jo."

She got startled and turned around. There was a man wearing a hoodie. His entire face was hidden except for his smirking lips that were gaping at her.

"Who are you?! H-how did you get in here?" she asked.

The man laughed evilly. "So the rumour must be true. The Queen lost her memory."

He turned on the lights and revealed his face. Of course, Myeong Jo didn't know his face. The real wife would've figured it out already.

"So you don't remember me, do you?" he smirked.

She shook her head, her heart in her throat.

"Lee Joon is my name." he licked his lips.

His name made her completely frozen. This is the Lee Joon? The one who was crazily obsessed with the real wife? The one who once tried to kill her?

She took a step back until her back hit the closed door. Her breaths turned heavier.

"Oh no, no, don't be afraid of me. You know I'll never hurt you."

He sat on the edge of the bed and took a dagger out of his pocket. She couldn't even breathe at the sight of him sharpening the weapon slowly.

"So tell me. How've you been? Happy, I guess? With your husband."

She didn't reply.

"Wanna know how I have been? Horrible. Terribly horrible. Can you imagine a person living so many years under that dark stinky cell?!"

She didn't reply. But her hands were slowly working secretly. She was trying to reach the door lock without his knowledge.

"Spending 2 years in that same old room helped me to figure out to dig a hole under and escape. Also, I took a long time to think how can I get my revenge."

"R-revenge?" she pretended to ask.

Joon laughed like a maniac. "Yeah, revenge! I want to take revenge on you for making me suffer like this! I want to hurt you so badly, to destroy everything about you!"

He stood up from the bed. Her fingers trembled behind her back.

"Joon, please stop. Why don't you accept it? Why can't you move on? I will never love you no matter what you do so just stop your devilish actions." She shouted even though her voice cracked.

His lips raised into a smirk, chuckling a bit, "Seems like you still got that attitude, darling. However, you know what I planned? I figured out the most crucial thing that would hurt you most unlike any other."

He walked closer and leaned his face towards her. She moved her face to her side.

"Instead of hurting you........ I planned to hurt your precious human in the world. The one for whom you would do anything. The one for whom you left me. The one who made you forget about me completely from your mind. The one who's taking my place!" he yelled at her so closely.

Myeong Jo immediately knew who he was talking about. She looked directly into his sadistic eyes.

"You wouldn't-" she whimpered.

"Oh yes. Yes, I would. I even did." Suddenly he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the balcony.

He almost pushed her to the railing but she managed to hold herself back. He made her look down by holding her hair inside his grip. It hurt her but she was more confused and scared than being hurt. She gasped as he shoved her head off the railing so that she could take a look at the ground.
