The guests were arriving one after another. President Kim and Madam were receiving everyone with a warm smile.
The security around the Mansion was very tight since the ball was hosted in the main mansion. No paparazzi or any form of media was allowed inside the venue. only the personal PR team of Elite Pacific Group of companies was allowed to take some specific pictures as well as some very formal pictures of the ball to reveal among the public. only President Kim, his wife and their elder daughter was included in the pictures that too after she officially inherited some shares of the company after working for a few years. Today Heo yun-ji will also be included in the family photo after his engagement with Kim yumi, he is officially considered a part of the family. The only member to be kept outside the public eye is Kim Yerin. As per the tradition, when she joins the company and contributes into the family income inheriting some shares only then will she be included in the formal family photos.
The Kims especially Kim yerin prefers to keep a low profile to maintain their privacy as well as to avoid any unnecessary media attention, scandals and controversies.
But every family has their own dark pasts and secrets. There is a reason why President Kim and Madam always wanted Kim yerin to be kept out of the public eye. They created an image among the people in which Kim Yerin was considered rather neglected in the family.
she was just a spoiled heiress who has nothing to do with the Kim conglomerate. everyone considered Kim yumi to be the sole heir to take over the family business and become the CEO when the time comes. who knew there was a horrible secret within the family which can destroy the future of both their daughters. that secret was buried deep inside President Kim and his wife only to protect their daughters.
since childhood Yerin had dreamed of leading a simple and peaceful life without any business pressure, family scheming and complicated relationships. It's not that she neglects her identity but she was scared of her fate. she has seen her parents struggle, dirty family politics to take over the company.
Money and Power makes a person weak to understand the essence of love, emotions and family. she disgusted her scheming relatives who used to show their deepest affections but turned their backs for power and position.

Kim yumi was walking through the corridor when someone grabbed her hand and pulled her inside a room, before she could react Heo yun-ji shoved her against the wall and pressed his lips against hers.
"stop it" Kim yumi pushed him, " there are people all around, someone will see us. I don't want to be embarrassed."
"I can't stop, I missed you so much" Heo yun-ji replied and continued to kiss her. They were apart for half a month due to his work at Beijing. sensing his deep affection Kim yumi lost herself. she could no longer control and responded passionately. It started soft and warm. Heo yun-ji started biting her lips. He slightly unzipped her dress. His hands moving down her chest, he sucked the area around her neck until she started moaning arousing the devil inside him. They continued kissing each other fiercely, slowly moving down his hands slipped inside her dress. He pressed her breast, she moaned in desire.
"I want you more" He whispered in her ear. His voice brought made her dizzy. Kim yumi realised something hard and warm tightly pressed against the area of her soft spot. she slightly looked down and blushed. No matter how many times they came close she always felt like it was a whole new experience.
Heo yun-ji pulled her dress revealing her breasts. He looked at her with lusty eyes when she returned his gaze he sucked the area around her nipple. A sudden pleasure hit her making her feet wobbly. He took his tongue out and licked her nipples. they continued to kiss their bodies burning with passion.
Heo yun-ji realised his tent raising. His member became harder and wilder with her constant moaning.
****MATURE CONTENT ENDS****
"lets stop and we can continue later" He smirked.
"but I want to kiss you more" she pulled him closer. His eyes hardened.
" we will continue after the ball"
Kim yumi punched his chest "I missed you so much, I felt like dying. don't go away like this I won't forgive you again"
Heo yun-ji pulled her into his embrace "never again I promise. I suffered a lot without you. From now on I will take you wherever I go"
Kim yumi nodded "lets go, daddy is waiting to see you"
They adjusted their dresses and and went downstairs.
A very famous pianist was filling every corner of the mansion with sweet melodies. some well known chefs were preparing the food. All the very Esteemed and powerful families were invited to the gathering. some very famous A- list celebrities and film stars could be seen making an appearance among the guests. The Kims were very versatile in the field of fashion, having two leading international brands like Marvaille and Neon it was very tough to win against them yet everyone wore the finest brands to secretly impress.
A red carpet was laid in the entrance. everyone has to walk right through the centre gaining all the attention of the people upon their arrival, even if you don't want to be noticed everyone will still notice you. once the guest list was prepared there would be no change. even if you pull your best strings to get your name included in the list you won't be able to get in however everyone was allowed to bring a partner to the ball so all the women tried to clung to their men only to get a chance to go to the ball. All the board members and important persons of the company were also invited. Due to Kim ji yeon's military background many reputed military officers also attended the gathering with their wives. It was a very influential gathering so all the people had their best chances to establish their connections further.
"Daddy" Heo yun-ji greeted his father-in-law with a polite smile.
"Yun-ji its been a while. How have you been?"
Kim seo joon was never good at expressing his emotions, the people who were close to him already knew about his cold and formal behavior. Heo yun-ji was very well accustomed to it.
" I am good, just returned from Beijing last night"
"How did the business go?" Kim seo joon was aware of every news yet he asked him just to test his sincerity.
"well I settled the contract with the investors. they were reluctant at first but agreed to collaborate after going through the presentation"
"will you let my son relax a bit? don't talk business here" Kim Ji yeon glared at her husband.
"as you wish my darling" Kim seo Joon answered in a sugar coated voice.
"mom" Heo yun-ji hugged her mother-in-law.
"my yun-ji I missed you so much" Kim ji yeon had took care of Heo yun-ji like her own child since his friendship with yumi. she always wanted to raise a son but ended up with two girls, when Heo yun-ji entered her life and took care of her like his own mother she gladly accepted as her own son. Even Heo yun-ji's mother use to say that Kim ji yeon was more like his biological mother compared to her but having such a lovely daughter-in-law like Kim yumi she was satisfied.
"I heard that 1st uncle is coming tonight?"
Kim yumi asked her dad. Kim seo joon replied with a torn expression "He is afterall my half brother, he had to be invited. its surprising that he agreed to attend this time."
yumi made a face "He will surely bring that vicious daughter of his I am already feeling a headache"
"warn Yerin to not create a scene with her. They will be expecting that. No wonder they chose to attend this time knowing yerin will be making her official debut in the company this time"
Kim ji yeon was worried for her daughter. she knew about her straight forward attitude. If someone tries to slander their family in front of her she will definitely make a move no matter what.
