Chapter 3 - Getting Caught

She quietly left the ice cream booth and pretended like she saw and knew nothing but she noticed that they were getting closer to her and would grab her at any time. She turned around and saw they were seven in total number. She could have fought them but they were seven of them, although she was a black belt and was good in martial arts since she learnt it in middle school and high school she could not outnumber seven trained security personnel because not only would she not be able to beat them, she'll also receive a good blow from them and cause herself to be bruised and that would even be a total waste of time since she would not surrender easily, the only option was to run.

She ran very fast and ran faster than them since she was tall with long legs and slender, and she was extremely thankful for it but she was naturally a good runner and running now was not a problem for her at all, she was light and was able to lift herself.

She ran into a street that was buzzing with busy people, due to her speed and how fast she ran, she kept bumping into people and pushing them but she had no time to apologize because she was on the run and it was more important than anything at the moment, she ran very fast but she saw an old lady pushing a truck heaped with red apples crossing the road slowly, she wanted to evade the old lady but her speed made it difficult to stop on time. It was already too late when she almost bump into the truck but she luckily held herself on time but it did not stop the apples from rolling out of the truck, the apples were arranged on a mountain heap on the truck hence it was not hard for them to roll out, she wondered how such an old lady could still push a truck loaded with apples.

The apples inside the truck rolled out due to the sudden bumping and jerking that almost made the apple truck fall to the side luckily the old lady wasn't injured but she was wailing and pointing fingers at her while speaking in a local language that she could not understand but she was certain that the old lady wasn't happy.

She apologised sincerely as she picked up the fallen apples and was thankful that they were not damaged, after making sure that the apples were all in the truck she pulled out a few thousand notes and gave the old lady, she did not care to wait a sec and she took to her heels again but it was too late because she got caught by the seven men, she was forced to go back to Ranyer but she would not give up easily.

After she got back from her first runaway trip to Yokminj, it was hell, her father was in a bake because she ran away and he grounded her for two days and after the two days of being locked up, she was asked to prepare for a dinner party that she would be going along with her parent and her-so-called soon-to-be "husband" would attend the party.

They arrived at a five-star hotel for the party, how much she hated formal parties and business gatherings, they were so boring and tiring. She was her parent's only pride since they had no son and because she was a pretty girl, her father would take her out to parties only to show off his beautiful daughter and the only thing she could do was to bear with it and endure a little bit more, she would not be lying if she said she hated the lifestyle of the rich even her own family wasn't spared.

Immediately they settled their selves on a round table, a blonde handsome guy that she presumed to be her soon-to-be husband walked to their table and greeted her parent but before he could acknowledge her, she excused herself to the comfort room, she could already feel she was not comfortable with the blonde guy. Though he was handsome, rich and had admirable long legs, she still found herself to be hating his presence around her even though she was just meeting him today for the first time and they did not even spend a few minutes close to each other because she quickly left for the comfort room.

Returning from the comfort room, she saw her father standing in the middle of the hall and all eyes were set on him, she heard everything he said and she clenched her fist in anger, she was furious at her father's words but she was sorry because she would not let his dreams come true, she will have no other choice than to shatter his dreams and destroy the god-damned marriage. She composed herself when all eyes turned to her because her father suddenly called out her name, she could feel people's penetrating gaze on her with adoration but too bad because she would be destroying the admiration and envy they had for her by herself because that was not what she always wanted, yes she had always wanted to be the centre of attention but not in this way and certainly not because of some stupid marriage to anyone and with a blank face, she walked to her father and took the microphone from him and what she said made the crowd gasp while her father was boiling in rage but could not do anything. But what was certain was that the marriage was cancelled by the wannabe groom himself, how could he get married to someone who was....... That was a taint to his family's image and his oh-so-perfect reputation. The party ended with the hottest topic and gossip concerning the Millner family and their lovely daughter.
