"yOu knoW jUstiN, HOw bAd I fElT whEn sHE leFt witHoUt--" sounds of slurping interrupted me from communicating, I was dead drunk, couldn't remember anything but recognised the feeling of her ignoring me when I begged for her love.
Justin didn't drink because of me, he took responsibility for me but I insisted him have one shot.
In addition, I continued with my bullshit, being acting as heartbroken, yeah it was exactly the same, that feeling shattered my heart when she succeeded to evacuate that place without any word after.
Loosened my mouth to pipe up, but instantly fastened it when I concluded him saying something.
"Sung, I know you are hurt but let's talk with her right? She will understand you," he whispered, kinda suggesting that to have conservation, No..she wouldn't understand if she had to then would have asked me the reason then. However, she didn't.
"....NO," I spoke with confirmation.
"What?"
"...ShE iS stUBborN, JuStIn. AnD I'm iN LoVE wItH thAt sTubbOrN lAdY," I said in melody, feeling joyous confessing that I love her, glimmering like a mad person, sensing euphoric at the confession that no matter how was she, I loved her much more than anything out in the world.
"Alright, now it gonna be morning, let's go and rest a bit, you are already dead drunk." Shit, this man was talking shit, I wasn't in the mood to go home, I would stay in here, and finalize the work after all I had the responsibility.
"I HaVE to LoOk AfteR cOmpaNy, mAn," I said, not, somehow I managed to say because my head was becoming heavier, which made my eyes close on its own.
"Alright, but now sleep," he muttered and encouraged me, laid over the couch in my office, covered me with the blanket.
I nodded at his instruction as a kid, holding a big smile.
I closed my eyes and tried hard to sleep but the sudden realisation when her image interrupted my peaceful sleep.
Forming a pout, I sat up in an Indian position on the couch, blanket around my knees.
"WHAT if she left me this night, " I let out in a baby tone, emphasising that pout in front to get noticed that I was upset.
Turning around, he hung up the call, he continued with before and approached me.
"She wouldn't, and she will love you more in the morning if you get some sleep,"
"Seriously,"
He nodded and the next thing I remembered was that I slept without any disturbance.

"Where are you?" I asked Justin on call because I got worried as they didn't inform me about their whereabouts, somehow I forced her to go to bed, as it was too late, gonna be morning in a couple of hours.
"We are in office, he insisted me to come here so," he said, almost whispered.
"And he?"
"Sleeping," he whispered.
"Alright-,"
"Babe, gonna call you later, he is open-eyed," he said and hurriedly cut the call without listening to my side. I nodded and kept the phone on the nightstand.
"Everything is alright, thank God!" I whispered and peeked at her sleeping state by the next side.
I grinned.
_______________
"Everything is alright, right?" Seo-Jin confirmed the divorce papers, the next morning, visiting his personal lawyer.
"Dad?" Ji-Hoon whispered in his ear, and he turned to catch his presence therein his office.
"What?"
"Are you really doing that? See I'm not wanting you to stop the procedure but think twice," he suggested what was his opinion, watching his father conserving about the alimony.
"I know what I'm doing, I can't see her hurting my daughter anymore," he said in anger to which he nodded and waited for the lawyer to list the alimony she would receive after divorce.
"Mr Seo-Jin, as you are well aware of the fact that if any marriage last above than 10 years then the wife is entitled to have 50% of your assets, and now it's up to you what you wanna give in money," the lawyer let out a fact.
While Jin nodded in agreement that he had to sacrifice his assets for that bitch.
"Alright, I will talk with her, but please get these papers ready before my call," he said in a warning tone.
"Thank you," they both did the handshake and then the lawyer left the place with Shik, holding his bag.
"Dad, what you are thinking about?" Ji-hoon asked as he noticed his dad in stress, keeping his hands over his head while heading low.
"Hmm?"
"I know what she gonna ask for in alimony," he said anticipating that she would implore what he felt dreading of the most.
"What?"
"50% of company shares," he said.
"But dad, she already holds 20% then why you are worrying over it, give her money that's all," Ji-Hoon let out without knowing their agreement in past.
"No, I would have given her as much as money she demands of but in past, I signed a contract with her," right now he was under a lot of emphasis because of that coalition.
"What?"
"That if we part ways that she would wield 50% of shares," Ji-Hoon was outraged to know that and what made him think was that why his dad guaranteed the contract.
"But why did you approve that contract?"
He sighed.
"Her parents were greedy as her, when I proposed to her then there was a condition at first which had to be fulfilled...."
"What?"
".....that her mother spoke that she couldn't see her daughter on streets if any is happening happened unexpectedly and then she made me sign the contract of allowing her half of company's shares," his tone proved that now he bemoaned his decisions back then.
"But dad why do you sign?"
"We were in love then, so I thought that nothing could separate us, signing those papers meant nothing because she loved me more than anything, but her parents did otherwise."
"That was years ago, dad. Nobody would have remembered right?"
"Do you think that she would have?"
Now Ji-Hoon became silent, after realising the fact that now she was a greedy woman like her parents back then.
"So what?"
"You can't do that? Her parents aren't alive and you must not have that contract now,"
"I may not have but she would have," Ji-Hoon sighed annoyingly, and hit the table nearby.
"What you have done dad?"
Seo-Jin looked at him with regret in his eyes, might be he would be thinking to rewrite that happening again.
"Let's meet her," he whispered,
He nodded but instantly added," but dad doesn't mention contract before her."
"Yeah!" and they both walked towards the exit of the company to follow the path to the Police Station.

"Ari, if nothing worked then should have 50% of the company shares," Ji-Hoon was speaking with her through call, focusing on his drive.
"What? You know that if she will have those shares then our lives won't be less than hell," Ari spoke out in a worried tone but held angrily.
"I know that but I will let you know if something happens," he said.
"Okay, bye," she said and hung up the call.
Jin-Ae didn't know about anything ensuing in the lives of her loved ones, because no one was tempted to make her conscious of all this happening. Might be didn't expect to inconvenience her.
"She is such a bitch," Ari let out in public, as she was out shopping.
"Hm? Who?" her friend from the orphan house, spoke.
"Leave it, I don't want to spoil our mood, let's go," she dismissed the topic and concentrated to enjoy the moment because somewhere she believed that her husband would have that situation under control.
"Hm,"
* * *
"Hello, Shik, let the media know about Jae, that she attempted to weaken her daughter and now getting rotten in jail," He rehearsed on a call with Shik, which made Ji-Hoon widen his eyes in impact.
"Dad, what are you doing? Huh?"
"Go," he said and hung up the call, to pull his attention towards his question.
"I know what I am doing, drive safely."
"But-"
"Don't ask, just drive to Police Station," Ji-Hoon shove the steering wheel out of animosity and restrained silence for the whole drive.
"THE WIFE OF FAMOUS BUSINESSMAN MR SEO-JIN, MRS JAE, IS UNDER CUSTODY FOR HARMING HER DAUGHTER"

~Jin-Ae)
"Min, can you lead the way to the company, I wanna dialogue with him," I was striving to be being gracious today's morning because I realised my oversight, even I didn't interrogate him about what he was doing without me.
"Wait for me," I snickered when realised that she was in the shower, her shouts confirmed to me that she was cheerful too.
"Mh-hm," I hummed and scroll down through the phone, it was so towering that she continued in the shower for almost half an hour.
"Come fast," I squealed in her direction, and. freed my Twitter account to know about today's world.
"THE WIFE OF FAMOUS BUSINESSMAN MR SEO-JIN, MRS JAE..." this caught my attention, while scrolling so I ceased to know more what was it about, so I thumped on the article to go through this but at the same moment, Min arrived, screaming my names, "Jin-Ae, Let's go otherwise he would be busy with work, I will leave on the way than go to my University," I switched off the screen, grinning towards her, accomplishing to the fact that I would communicate with him and everything would be perfect as I imagined in dreams.
"Alright, let's go," I said and grabbed my purse to move out from the apartment.
She nodded.
"Stop stop!" I said to her, and then she huddled on the brake so immediate that we virtually fell forward.
"What?" she asserted with gritted teeth and which made me giggle at her reactions.
"Wanted to buy something for him, as an apology," I said, feeling a little embarrassed letting out in front of her.
"oh, go then," she said.
"hm," I hummed and climbed off in front of the florist to get him flowers, as I remembered those flowers which I seeded for him.
Holding a smile on my face, I swapped the bouquet of red roses.
"Thank you," I thanked the sellers, and then moved ahead in the company's direction.
"Thank you, see you later," I said to her and looked at the entrance of the company and my whole mood lit up.
In addition, by steps supported me in a further way to the company whereas my heart beating heightened, feeling nervous to confront him.
I gasped heavily and walked towards Reception to ask for him.
"Hello?"
"Hello, mam, how can I help you?" she implored politely, strengthening a big smile on my face.
"Mr Sung-Ho, I'm here to meet him," I said, returning the politeness.
She lingered silently for a few moments, and then came up with disappointing feedback.
"Sorry mam, but you don't seem to have an appointment to see him, I can't help," she apologise, and my lips turned into a thin line.
"Alright, but can you tell him when he is free," I asked. However, I felt someone presence by my side, when turned out to face a woman in her mid-twenties with a sluty look.
"Sorry, but I'm not sure, might be his secretary would know that, please contact her," she said.
"Why you wanna meet him?" that woman asked, and my eyebrows joined together with confusion written all over it over my face.
"Sorry?"
"You wanted to see him, Mr Sung, I'm his secretary," she introduced herself and my whole world turned upside down, I scanned him from tip to toe, caught her dress which wasn't less than any revealing outfit.
Her cleavage on the show, as she wore the dress with a deep V neckline, reaching to her mid-thighs.
I inhaled and bothered to ask her about him.
"When can I meet him?" I asked straight because for some reason her aura kick different, not to my admiration.
"Oh, then I'm sorry, he doesn't like stranger's presence around him," what the heck, how she dared to call me stranger, I was someone whom he loved, so how could be a stranger in his life.
"Excuse me, Miss, I'm his-" I was cut off by some male voice, hitting my ears.
I turned to my right, and then encountered her boyfriend dressed in formal attire.
"What are you doing here?" he questioned.
"I guess, I should leave," that exasperate bitch, exonerated us and then I was ridden when noticed her walking away from that space.
'Such an irritating person,' I thought and pulled towards him.
"Ah, wanting to see him and apologise for what I did wrong yesterday," I said.
