Luna's POV:
I dashed into my room and straightly went to bed. I was sobbing bitterly while clenching my chest, which throbbing with unbearable pain!
Till now, I had accepted my fate as well as my parents after being born as Luna but I was completely heartbroken today! It's so tough to endure all the sufferings alone...
"Mom? Dad? Jung Woo? I miss you so much! Why couldn't I live a long happy life with you all? What was my fault? He-Here... no one loves me! No one gives a damn about my feelings! I feel so fucking alone! Dad? Why didn't I born again as your daughter? I would have been happier to be the daughter of a farmer again! I hate this life... I hate my fate... Jung Woo, I miss you so much! You could have lent me your shoulder to cry my hearts out if only you were here... I miss you all so badly..." I was whining helplessly as well as my cheeks stung with agony while sobbing.
(Door knocking)
I didn't even bother to see who is it! After a few minutes, I perceived that someone walked into my room slowly.
I was all disrupted and turned back with a violent gaze. Mrs. Park had walked into my room with a small bowl of chocolates in her hand.
"I don't want to see anyone! Get out now, please!" I growled at her quite insolently while venting out my frustration.
"Whenever you have been sad or stressed, you have always asked chocolates from me, Milady! But today I brought them to you on my own! I can understand the amount of agony you are bearing in your wounded heart now! I can at least do this much for you..." Mrs. Park sat beside me and gently put the bowl before me while speaking.
I bit my lips in order to stop my urge for crying out! But it didn't help, tears were falling down continually...
"It's okay Milady! Let your pain flow out with the tears! There's nothing to be ashamed for sobbing! I won't leave you alone till you stop crying!" She sounded very melancholic to witness me in a distressed condition.
"I-I don't want to live anymore! It's too painful for me! It would have been better if I was never born again!" I murmured slowly with a morose tone.
"Milady, It's difficult for me to find about all the wounds you have been carrying in your heart silently for all these years! But all I can do is staying beside you... I just can't abandon you in this miserable state..." She gently wiped my tears and spoke in a broken gloomy voice while glancing at me.
Suddenly I hugged her rigidly and started bawling out loudly. All she could do was patting my back while sensing my warm tears on her shoulder.
"Don't... leave ...me, please..." I uttered with very difficulty while mourning on her shoulder.
"I won't go! I will stay by your side until my last day! I want to see you happy before I leave Milady!" She comforted me with a pleasant smile on her face.
After crying my eyes hearts out, I slowly released her from the grip and wiped my face. I was looking horrible after bawling out like a small child! But it's been a long time since I have cried out loudly holding Mrs. Park...
"Have some sweets! It calms your mind after a good cry." She softly handed me some chocolates after I had stopped sobbing and I obeyed her immediately.
While I was eating slowly, I saw she was fidgeting a bit anxiously.
"Do you have something to say?" I asked her a bit curiously while staring at her intensely.
"Umm, Milady, I don't know what are the issues you have with Mr. Choi, but I think you should separate personal and professional life distinctively. There are several celebrities who can't stand each other but can work perfectly in their projects! I am not underestimating your feelings but after the business expansion of your company you don't need to see him anymore!" She was speaking quite nonchalantly with a concerned look on her face.
"But I don't want to involve with anything regarding him! I am just getting a bad vibe of this situation!" I opposed her answer in a heavy voice while gasping outside the window.
"Milady, it must have cost your dad an ample amount to transfer all legal documents in your name! You will be attending his office as the authorized heiress of Kim group. Your dad has trusted you enough to put you as the in-charge of his international deal--"
"He just wants to use me as a bait to succeed in his own plan!" I interrupted her quite viciously with an annoyed expression.
"But this will be your chance to prove your worth to your family Milady! Even if the deal becomes most successful or failure, your dad can't blame you for it, as he was the one to put you in charge of the deal!" She was desperately trying to convince and calm down my desolated thoughts.
I thought for a moment silently. She is right though! Dad can't blame me even if anything happens to his business!
"And most importantly Milady, think it of a chance to know everything about Mr. Choi! You can easily get to know about his real face if you stay a bit near to him! And Mr. Ri will be always there to protect you from any absurd approach! So you can stop assuming his intentions and find it on your own! If he has a good intention then it's better but if he has a different motive then you can desolate him immediately!" She answered in an oblivious tone..
"Bu-But I don't want to marry him!" I protested vaguely while looking at her with my poignant eyes.
"Marriage is out of the question now Milady! Just think of it as a professional business deal where you can learn about him more vividly and decide your next step afterwise! But if everything turns out perfect, the Kim group will be benefitted enormously! As an heiress, you should consider it a bit! I won't bother you much, have some rest Milady!" She stood up gently and took the bowl with her.
I was silent for sometime. She is absolutely a witty lady! If I stay a bit close to him rather than running away from him, I can find it out if he is the reincarnated Ji-Hoo or just a doppleganger of him! If he has any cryptic approach towards me, I will catch him red-handed ! In fact, it will be easier to clear my confusions if I agree for this professional deal!
As soon as she left, I slowly walked upto my balcony. Though she was right but my heart was reluctant to involve with him again!
What if I encounter any bitter truth?
***********
Mrs. Kim was waiting outside Luna's room anxiously and as soon as Mrs. Park came outside she almost leaped to her.
"Did she stop crying Lily?" She asked her impatiently.
"Yes ma'am!" Mrs. Park nodded her head with a small smile.
"Ahh thank God! An-And did you convince her to attend office from tomorrow? I know you are the only one she is closest to, in this house.... So, did she agree?" Mrs. Kim lowered her voice while interrogating her.
"I tried my best to convince her ma'am. But I can't impose any decision on her! It's up to her what her heart decides!" She replied to her in a dense voice.
"Okay, I hope she agrees! And I hope she won't cry anymore!" Mrs. Kim mumbled slowly while looking at Luna's room with her sad eyes.
"Umm ma'am, why are you always watching her from afar? I know you must be helpless due to Mr. Kim but if you are so worried about her, why don't you go and talk to her for sometime?" Mrs. Park asked her obscurely with a cold gaze as Mrs. Kim seemed to be suffering in pain...
"I can't do it Lily... She must be despised of her own mother for supporting her dad even in his gruesome decisions! But that's fine, I can bear the hate and I will do everything silently to keep her safe from his rage! Just I want your co-operation as you are the only person probably she loves in this house..." Mrs. Kim's eyes were teary while explaining to her.
Mrs. Park sighed deeply. "Okay, I get it! I will be her shield so that she can be safe inside the house!" She declared firmly in a deep yet cold voice...
