Chapter 2 - Introduction

(Light):

I can't even think in peace now , can I , I grunt as my buttler comes to let me know that I'll be leaving in three minutes, I have a flight to catch.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Light Woods , yes I know my name is cliche I know, and I'm the only child of my parents Raphael and Nicole woods , the current richest man in Europe, my parents named me Light because I brought back the love that was dying between them, and I brought them so much good luck that my father's business picked up and turned around, I am twenty years old and my father is making me take up the family business so I can take over from him when he steps down , i guess you can call me Light indeed . Back to my present ordeal, my father is opening a new hotel in Korea, and I have to leave France in three minutes, I'm the type of person that likes nesting, I like being comfortable, and now my comfort is being disturbed, I like keeping to myself , I don't have any friends because nobody treats me genuinely, they all want something from me or from my father, it's just not fair, I would have made a great best friend, cause I give great advice, or so I'm told by the maids at my father's palace , literally the man bought a Palace so that I can live the life of an actual princess, I love my parents but they spoil me too much ,even I am aware of this fact ,I don't need to be told ,

I have a secret, I am a dignified pen pal if I must say , I talk to strangers across the continent who don't know who I actually am , I've never revealed my name but I always describe myself to my pen friends, they keep me company and make me laugh and help me look forward to their messages coming in ,I know technology makes the world a global village, but nothing beats the expectation of aletter coming in with that person's handwriting it's like they are leaving a piece of themselves to you, there's one pen pal in particular that I'm very fond of , I know that he's a boy ,he makes me feel every word he sends me , it's like his words are speaking or even breathing when I read it, I can't explain it , and for some weird reason I fell in love with him , yeah you can call me crazy , I've never seen him , nor do I know who he really is , but I look forward to his letters and his beautiful penmanship, I try to imagine what he looks like from his writing, I bet he's someone manly with a delicate hands, maybe blue eyes and chiseled jaws ,but who knows, sometimes my brain tries to think of him as fat and pot bellied, but for some reason I didn't care, his writing gives me comfort, and I've been waiting for his letter for two weeks and it hasn't come in, and that's what I was thinking about before my bottler interrupted me , and now I have two minutes.....

I have not been to work in two weeks , not because I was sick or anything but because I've been upset, I don't want to be used as a weapon or as a tool to bring someone's downfall, all rich people care about is themselves, ever since I discovered my employers plans I wanted out, I've been told from childhood that I am too pretty to be a boy, I have blue eyes and jet black hair and very pale skin, I have a very good body if I must say, all the right muscles in the right places ,and I have a beautiful handwriting, I've been made to enter writing competitions that I ended up wining , it landed me a job with a man named Jake Austin, really rich and pays handsomely, apparently the gist is that he wants to get into the good books of a man named Raphael Woods ,and he wasn't given the opportunity, one day he heard across the grapevine from one of the maids in Mr Woods palace apparently that his daughter Light was into writing and receiving letters , so he asked his son Ryan to start writing letters to the girl, but Ryan being the rich lazy bastard he is sort me out and hired me to write letters to his friends cousin who he's in love with , then his father found out about me and decided to keep me around since the said cousin kept on writing back,I was never to reveal who I was and for some reason she didn't as well, but as I kept on writing and reading her letters I started falling in love with her, she was so pure and had a very innocent outlook of life and one time I actually told of one of my problems and she gave a very good advice on it, I wanted to meet her , I wanted to see her, i was falling in love with someone I've never met before, I couldn't keep writing to her as another person ,so I tried to quit, that was when I overheard the conversation between Jake and his bastard son Ryan , and that was when I heard her name for the first time ,Light Woods , I couldn't believe my ears ,they wanted to taint a pure soul for the sake of business and they were using me , I think what really got me upset was that the bastard was going to reveal himself and ask her to meet him and make it look like he was in love with her, I couldn't take it anymore , I did my research and found out that Light is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen , she looked like an angel maybe that's why her name is Light ,she shined so bright with her blond hair and green eyes , she had the body of a demon with all the right curves but with the face of an angel, thinking about her always made my heart skip a beat , I couldn't let Ryan get her over my dead body...

( Ryan )

I am Ryan Austin, the sole heir to Austin's Inc. and I hate my life, I hate my father and how he handles business, he sees me as a tool of exchange for growth, and most times the only way I can get back at him is to act stupid and lazy, it worked for twenty four years of my life until recently, he wants me to write letters to a girl named Light, first of her name sounded weird and secondly I wasn't interested, I have mastered the act of being lazy and I will continue to be lazy , so I did the only thing I could think of , to hire someone to write for me , and I was introduced to Liam , for some reason I didn't like him, he was too handsome and he made me feel inferior, so I tried as much as possible to limit how many times I saw him while he was working for me , he actually got the work done because the letters didn't stop coming, I didn't understand why a human being wouldn't just use their phone or better still their computer to send a message, it is easier and faster and that was when I got genuinely interested, so I read one of her letters, she had a sense of humor and see was lively, the letters weren't boring at all, if at all they were the opposite of boring, I started looking forward to reading her letters and I started getting jealous that somebody else was responding to her , so I wanted to fire Liam and that's when my father found out that I wasn't the one writing to the girl, well he was so pissed that I thought he would kill me , but then knowing my father, he saw the opportunity in what Liam was doing and decided to keep him around to keep on writing letters, I was stuck with Liam writing to my girl , in one of the letters I could have sworn he asked a personal question but I wasn't sure about it so I just kept my mouth shut,

so I deviced a plan to let Liam evesdrop on the conversation between my father and I to let him think I was in on a plan to cheat a poor innocent girl, I actually told my father some truth because I told him that I think it's time to meet the girl and maybe things could progress quickly, he was so happy to hear that and seeing some use of me , but he was trying to be cautious so her father will not see through us , I have done my research on Light she was so beautiful surpassing even my imagination, I wanted her , I needed her , I fell helplessly in love with her , I dreamt of her , she was my phone screen saver, my wallpaper on my computer, I didn't want her for her wealth like my father, I was In love with her.....

(Light)

its always a pleasure to be in Seoul, the beauty and what gets me the most is the food, I personally enjoy the Jjajangmyeon and Tteokbokki, they suit my taste bud, but even the beautiful city and wonderful food couldn't stop my mind from wandering, I keep thinking about him ,I hope he's okay, I just keep thinking about the worst case scenario, but at the same time my mind starts telling me maybe he doesn't like me , but how can you like someone you've never met, all this is so confusing, I don't even know what to do as I kept on thinking and disturbing myself in my mind,my heart thought of the perfect solution I have to find him or I might just run mad, suddenly I hear my phone, I've got a message.....

(Liam)

I can't sleep, I wake up and walk to my window, it's a full moon tonight, I stare at the moon and wonder what Light will be doing, I live in LA, but she's in Europe in another continent entirely, I tried to write to her about Ryan and his father and I just couldn't, it wasn't the smartest thing to do , so I keep thinking of the best thing to do and the best option, and then finally it came to me , I'll write to her as her pen pal, I'll write to her as the real me, I'll introduce myself and let her know me ,I just feel it in my bones that she'll know I'm the one , well with my handwriting I think that's proof enough, but won't she suspect fowl play , how do I go about it ,I pick up my phone and search her name, sure enough I find her , but she's on private, I smile and send a message before I could think, I type hello....

(Ryan)

Liam hasn't been here in two weeks, and Light hasn't sent a letter, I'm begining to regret my actions, because I've tried writing a letter myself and I don't know what to write, I miss hearing from her, I think it's time to call Liam and try to talk to him, but knowing his kind of person I think there's no way he's going to keep writing for me because if he was going to continue he wouldn't have stopped in the first place , I've been lying to my father and I don't want to know what will happen when he finds out that I've not been receiving letters , but it hurts me more to have not heard from her, suddenly I got an idea , I have the power of technology, I search her up and I find her, my heart leaped for joy, sure enough she's on private , my heart convinces me to send her message before I change my mind , I type hello.....
