"okay. I'll send them in right away". Mr.Kim replied and hung up.
"It's better you leave on your own than to be forced to leave". Kiera said and smiled, then she sat down close to her father and ignored the others in the room.
"Let's go". Ji-Won said to her children and headed towards the door.
"No, this is absurd. Hey! you were denied right. Let me put it in a better way. You were abandoned. It's only right if you leave". The young boy still spoke confidently.
"Jung-Woo let's go. Your father will deal with this". Ji-Won said with a hint of frustration in her eyes.
For the past few days, her husband Jung-Sik had been restless. He had requested to see Jung-Ha Kiera. He had also told her that he would fight dearly for his life, if Jung-Ha Kiera came to see him. As a wife, she could only wish for her husband to came out of this fight successfully and if Jung-Ha Kiera was indeed the key, why refusing her into the hole.
"Never mind stay, I'll make sure I teach that mouth of yours a lesson". Kiera said to him while scrolling through the messages on her phone.
"What makes you so fearless. My big brother is second to my dad!". Jung-Cha yelled. She had reasoned and realized that Kiera actually had no place here.
"Okay, we'll see". Kiera said in a cold voice.
Bang! The door was pushed open, three hefty men entered into the room.
"Miss Jung-Ha. We were asked to take orders from you". One of the bodyguards spoke out respectfully and confidently.
His eyes scanned through the room, to identify who the true Jung-Ha was. He was given special instructions saying that she was the long lost child of Jung-Sik and the key to Jung-Sik's life. Someone like her wasn't someone to mess with.
"I am Jung-Ha Kiera. This is my father, his wife and their children. I am introducing them to you, so they understand their positions means nothing right now. Mostly that one". Kiera pointed Jung-Woo with her forefinger.
"The mother and daughter have agreed to leave so all you need to do is make sure they do. I don't need them close to this room.As for that one, take him away. Also do something about his mouth because I'm sure he's going to run it a lot when you take him out of here". Kiera said and laughed.
Two of the bodyguards escorted Ji-Won and Jung-Cha out of the room while the guard that spoke out earlier charged towards Jung-Woo and said "I don't want to hurt you but I'm sure you heard her now let's go".
"You must be crazy. Do you think I can't call bodyguards. Get out!!". Jung-Woo shouted.
The bodyguard felt glad receiving orders from Jung-Ha to hurt Jung-Woo. Without thinking twice, he slapped Jung-Woo and dragged him out of the room.
As Jung-Woo was dragged out of the room he kept shouting, "You have no right to do this to me. Abeoji! Abeoji! Abeoji!".
Kiera glanced at her father and became worried a bit. The noise had been much in here. This last noise which was caused by Jung-Woo was so loud that it attracted some nurses but she had told them that it was nothing and they left. Still, her father didn't move at all.
Then it hit her, "is he dead?". Kiera thought to herself and tapped him. "Sir, sir! Jung-Sik, Jung-Sik". Kiera called him but she got no response. She instinctively yelled "Father!".
Tears streamed down Jung-Sik's face. He opened his eyes and said in a faint tune. "Jung-Ha".
Kiera looked at him with no expression on her face. She had called him all other names but he never responded so why "father".
"Did you pretend not to here all that happened?". She asked with the same face.
"Yes, and I have to say you were very brave. I never thought my daughter would be this way. You take after your mother indeed". Jung-Sik said with a faint smile.
Kiera could see through his eyes, that he was dying. She held herself and said.
"Daughter, daughter who gave you the right to call me your daughter". Tears streamed down from her eyes to. She couldn't hold it in any longer. She had held it in for 20 years and it did her no good.
"What did I do that hurt you so much? What did I do that made you look at me and deny me without batting an eyelid? Do you know how hard it was for me growing up without a father? I cried everytime I heard my mates bragging about the things their father did for them but you were here being the father you never were to me to your other children". Kiera said with tears of anger.
Jung-Sik couldn't look at her so he faced down and said. " I didn't deny you without batting an eyelid. Evidences were brought in front of me and to worsen it all, your mother never denied any of them. It was hard for me....".
"Keep my mother's name of your mouth. She's the victim here. You denied me what does she have to do with this!". Kiera yelled.
"No no Kiera, she had an affair with another man. There were photos of her kissing another man in a hotel. I was mad but would have calmed down, if she hadn't admitted this emotionlessly. I would have understood because, that same day, there was fake news about I and Ji-Won in a hotel room. I was also at fault but I was sorry for my actions whereas she wasn't. With anger, I agreed to sign the divorce papers and believed that you weren't my child. After years, I realized that everything that happened was all my father's scheme". Jung-Sik explained.
*********************Flashback***************
"Let's go to the hospital Ji-Won". Jung-Sik asked requested.
Ji-Won had a little burn on her hand from the boiled water in her office, that had spilled on the floor but touched a little part of her left hand. It looked serious but Ji-Won requested to go to her hotel and change.
She had just ended a business meeting with Jung-Sik and the accident occurred few minutes after that time so, Jung-Sik could hear her scream from outside and he ran into her office.
He requested that she be taken to the hospital but she refused and said to him instead, "I need to go to the hotel to take something and change. After that, I'll move to the hospital".
Jung-Sik being so naive, agreed and drove her to the hotel room. When she got to her room, she asked him to come in but he refused. "I'll wait for you outside".
"I'll need someone to help me unzip my dress please assist me. I'm in pains". Ji-Won forced out fake tears.
Jung-Sik out of sympathy got in. He helped her unzip her dress but just then she turned around and they both fell on the bed with her on him.
"I'm sorry, I think you can go now". Ji-Won said and smiled sheepishly at him.
Jung-Sik stood up feeling embarrassed, uncomfortable and guilty. "You know what Ji-Won rest, I'll call a doctor for you". Jung-Sik told her and headed out.
Meanwhile in the room, Ji-Won picked up her phone and called Jung-Sik. "Abeoji, I'll sent you the video and photos. I look forward to being his bride.". Ji-Won told Jung-Su on the phone and then hung up.
***********************************************
"With guilt in me, I took the first flight home. But I was in Australia, and getting to Korea would take a long time. On my arrival there, my father called me and told me what was trending on the news. I felt so scared but my dad told me that your mum and I were both cheats. Before then he had showed me a lot of fabricated evidences proving that you were not my child, I didn't want to believe but they were too real and your mom had been avoiding engaging in long conversations with me. This affected me and made me miss your third birthday party. I wanted to come home and resolve this issue. I wanted to see your mum whole heartedly denying these false accusations but she never did. She requested I signed the divorce papers. Jung-Ha, I was torned apart. There was no single day that passed by without the both of you crossing my mind". Jung-Sik stopped and looked at Kiera.
She was soaked in tears. He held her hands and wiped out the tears he could from her face but she removed his hand and said "how did you find out, the truth". Kiera looked at him with curiosity and a lot of mixed emotions.
Jung-Sik took a deep breath and explained.
*****************Flashback******************************
At the reception of Jung-Sik and Ji-Won's wedding, Ji-Won had excused herself leaving Jung-Sik sitting alone.
Jung-Sik waited for thirty minutes but he didn't see her and this made him worried so he left the reception hall and went looking for her.
He called out her name but there was no response. Then immediately he sighted two people talking behind a huge tree close to the reception building.
The more Jung-Sik looked, he realized that it was his bride and his father. Their conversation looked serious and he didn't want to butt in until he heard.
"I regret everything Abeoji. Why exactly did you want it to be me! I've cheated on him before". Ji-Won asked Jung-Su.
"Listen, we've always loved you. You were the first person he loved and I know you still love him. Instead of whining, you should be thankful to the Jung's family. We were able to get rid of that Carolyn". Jung-Su replied and tapped her back but she moved his hand away.
"I know I wanted him and was desperate at that time but can you blame me Abeoji. I came to you soliciting advice and you devised an evil plan for me to follow. I am the one to live with the guilt. I can't even look him in the eye". Ji-Won said with tears welled up in her eyes.
"Ji-Won enough. What do you want to do confess the whole thing? Then all your effort will be in vain. He's been down for sometime because of that Carolyn and her daughter but you've uplifted him. Don't make him hate us". Jung-Su said trying his best to lower his voice.
"Okay fine but what did you do to Carolyn". Ji-Won asked.
"Ha ha. It's more about what she did to my family. You know I've been planning on how to kick her out since I saw her but she smartly became pregnant and I felt with time, her baby would make my plans easier but she was too clean. The child was Jung-Siks', she never cheated on him even if they were far apart and she always did what we told her to even when my wife made her life a living hell. Since she was so clean, I decided to make her dirty. I faked several DNA tests and other things to make my son believe she wasn't his child. Then I arranged a guy that would get her into a room in a hotel with cameras in it and get sexual pictures of the both of them. Technically, I duplicated this plan. One for you, one for her. Ha!ha! but it turned out she wasn't so loose and my son wasn't believing the reports. I decided to give up, not until her evil daughter destroyed the left eye of Jung-Hyun. I planned to frustrate Kiera's life and you know mother's are protective of their children so she decided to leave Sik but there wasn't any strong convincing grounds for her to leave him. That was when all my plans came into play. She was such a good actress". Jung-Su laughed but then he stopped. It was Jung-Sik. He was soaked in tears.
"Jung-Sik! I was just kidding. Nothing I said here is true". Jung-Su said with his hands trembling.
"Abeoji I believed you. How could you do this to me. How could you.... send my daughter away. Carolyn was my choice Abeoji. All my life I followed all your decisions. Why didn't you see how loyal I was to you and grant my wishes for once". Jung-Sik tears were with so much anger. So much that his veins were about to pop out of his forehead.
