Chapter 1 - Unexpected Destiny

"How could you even think that you can leave me?" Jia questioned while her grip on the edge of her navy blue asymmetrical skirt firm, as she fought to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from her doe honey eyes.

"Why are you not answering me?" she persisted, watching as Samuel stood in front of her, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his black tight bull denim jeans, his blank expression unwavering under her gaze.

"I want a break for a while," Samuel replied evenly, lacking any emotion as he spoke.

"How can you call the whole life a little while?" Jia queried, shaking her head in incredulity, her gaze locked with his.

"It's sad but it's true," he stated flatly, reaching out a hand towards her left cheek, pausing just before making contact. But then, mid-way through, he suddenly froze, his features betraying a hint of unease as he looked at her, swallowing nervously.

"You have to compromise," he sputtered anxiously, hastily retracting his hand and returning it to his pocket, standing up straight.

"Yeah you have to compromise it that i'm gonna lea---" Before samuel could finish his sentence a loud groan escaped from his mouth as she hit hard on his middle stamp with her right leg's knee making him fall on his knees. He held his private property to decrease the pain.

"B!tch gonna leave me." She chuckled mockingly while wiping her dry tears. Looking down at his miserable state a light smirk placed on her face.

"CUT CUT CUT!" A middle aged man screamed. The cast members and staff widened their eyes in shockness standing behind the cameras not knowing what to do while two men came running from behind the cameras and helped him to stand on his feet while he was still holding his private property. It clearly seemed how hard she hit him.

"Jia, why did you hit him?" Standing in front of them the middle aged man looked at Samuel worriedly then at her with a questionable face.

"I just don't want his fucking thing to live." Jia uttered, looking directly at his holding thing before looking at the director. Showing no regret she was just staring at the director's eyes with a straight expression as he let out a sigh before opening his mouth again.

"That's not a good reason for doing this Jia you should understa---"

"Whatever! I don't want any dumbo to work with me....make him remember all the scripts perfectly....otherwise i'll throw him out of my movie contract." She said exiting the place, leaving them alone.

"Damn it Samuel you forgot the lines again?...how will you be able to work with her if you continue like this?" Director uttered, looking at Samuel, gritting his teeth in frustration.

"Don't be mad at me dad." Samuel said balancing himself before signalling his men to let out of here. "After this i'll definitely do my best to work with her and give my best..." looking at the director in determination he patted his shoulder as their side profiles were facing each other. "You need to take a rest, dad." He said his last sentence before exiting the place followed by his men leaving the director frustrated alone.

The silence of the car was broken by someone's voice.

"I already booked hotel rooms for tonight's stay....where do you want to go for now? Hotel or somewhere else?" Bella asked with a soft smile looking at her side profile who didn't even care to open her eyes resting her head still on the headrest. Getting no reply bella asked again. "Miss Jia, are you listening to me?"

"I don't know...take me where you want to go." Finally Jia spoke with an apathetic tone but her eyes were still closed.

"I reckon you have to take some fresh air." Bella said letting out a sigh before looking at the steering wheel. Turning the key she started the engine of the car from her one hand before putting the clutch pedal down with her left foot. After moving the gear lever into first gear from her other hand she started driving.

After sitting properly on her seat Jia closed the front door window before putting the temple of her head on the front door window glass looking at the side view mirror reflection. There were two black cars following their car.

"When will they stop hovering behind me like some black fat bulls?" Jia said all these words in a low voice with an annoyed expression but enough for Bella to hear.

"They all are for your safety, Miss Jia." Bella chuckled peeking through the corner of her eyes at Jia before focusing back on driving.

Sitting on the big cushioned sofa with figure four leg lock, his head was resting on the upper side of the backrest of the sofa, hands were spreading widely in both sides of his head. A gun was hanging in his one hand.

The black baggy hoodie and raw denim jeans covered his body as his manly toned body screamed power, his face was covered with a hood and a black mask. Eyes were closed facing the headliner of the jet, his front light brown dishevelled hair covered his half eyes.

His silent posture was screaming danger. His ten bodyguards were sitting on the other seats of the cabin just waiting for the single signal from their boss and they were ready to kill and die. The silence of the cabin was broken by someone's voice.

"In celebration of our first meeting...i want to show you something special." A man named William in a business suit was sitting on the seat opposite the sofa of the cabin. "But before that I want to have coffee with you." He demanded looking at the silent posture figure in front of him with an evil smirk before signalling someone to bring a couple of coffee.

A man entered the cabin holding a coffee tray before placing the cups of coffee on the coffee table between both of them. After this he exited the cabin.

"Have coffee for our special day." William took the coffee cup before sipping it.

"For our special day??" His deep voice filled the entire cabin with authority as he finally looked at the man sitting in front of him with his dark pair of eyes, whose eyes were radiating danger enough to scare anyone.

"It's nice to hear your voice Mr. Jitoku Jae." William uttered, placing back his coffee cup on the coffee table before making eye contact with him.

"I fulfilled your wish to meet me....now you want to see my face too? Mr. Fool betrayer!" Jae said his last three words mockingly, making William widen his eyes slightly in shockness.

"W-what betrayer?" William slightly stuttered his words.

"What did you think that you'd scam my business stuff and I wouldn't even know?...well you were going to show me some special thing? Where is it?" Jae asked with a calm voice before resting his head back on the upper side of the sofa's backrest facing the headliner of the jet again.

"Look at your death...this is what I wanted to show you." William said standing on his feet pointing a gun to the head of Jae. As soon as he did this the bodyguards of Jae immediately rose from their seats and pointed their guns towards William's head. They suddenly sat back as they saw their boss's gesture to sit down, who was still resting his head on the upper side of the sofa's backrest.

"I will tell you my real identity as your gift before you die." William uttered smirking at Jae, still pointing his gun to the head of Jae. "I'm a spy from your business rival Kang Myung's side. I can kill anyone and die for him and eventually he ordered to kill you today." Saying this without wasting any second he triggered the gun.

Suddenly his facial expression changed into worry and bewilderment as he noticed that no bullets were coming out of the gun. Still he tried to trigger the gun a few more times.

But he suddenly flinched at the loud thud sound from his side before turning to the sound way. As soon as he turned he widened his eyes in terror. His lips parted as he saw the huge transparent thermoplastic polythene covering a bundle of five dead bodies on the jet's floor laying like dust. The two guards were standing on both sides of the dead bodies.

"Wanna go near your partner's souls? Who came to spy on me exactly like you but in the end they had to taste the feeling of death." Jae said directly looking at william's scared figure who was looking at Jae with his scared eyes after hearing Jae's sudden voice while the empty gun was still hanging in william's one hand.

"Why have you kept decorating them in polythene like this?" William let out all these words in hesitation with apprehensive expression.

"Impressive! you're still able to question me....but I'm not in the mood to answer you. Well congratulations you'll not die like them....'cause 'THE VENOM' himself is going to kill you with his own hands." Jae said his last sentence with a wide smirk making the gun fall from william's hand and feel shiver on his whole body.

"V-venom?....the mafia king?" William asked while stuttering. The river of perspiration could be visible on both sides of his forehead.

His body started to shake in fear. He immediately got on his knees joining his hands in front of the mafia king before begging for his life as he already knew how brutally venom can kill. He doesn't fear to die but he was afraid of the process venom can make him go through before he finally reaches death.

"Forgive me venom...I-i---will be...your slave for the rest of my life....just spare my life." William was shaking in fear and his eyes became teary.

"But you said you can die for Myung ....now you can't deceive him like this. You have to die for him." Saying this Jae pointed his gun at william and directly shot him until his gun was out of bullets.

"I really wanted to torture you but i don't wanted to waste my time on you." He said, looking at William's dead body, throwing the empty gun on the sofa.

"Boss we reached." His man informed, standing on the side of the sofa like a statue.

"Clean this mess instantly." Jae commanded to his men before exiting the jet.

Getting down from the jet he made his way towards his car followed by his bodyguards before pulling the car door, taking the driver seat and starting to drive.

"Hope you're feeling better now." Bella said, standing over the beautiful bridge looking at Jia who was standing beside her looking at her front view. While the dark clouds were covering the sky. Jia nodded in affirmative before staring at Bella's eyes in sudden amusement, making Bella confused at her sudden behaviour.

"W-what... happened?" Bella asked in curiosity.

"Your eyes." Jia whispered while staring at Bella's eyes.

"Huh?" Bella frowned in confusion.

"Your these eyes.....remind me of someone again and again whenever I see you." Jia said before turning back her face to the view of the beautiful flowing lake in front of her, making Bella more curious.

As soon as Bella was about to open her mouth to ask something, suddenly she halted when she felt a raindrop just landed in her hand.

"It has started raining...let's get in the car....we have to go and it's already evening too." Bella uttered, turning her heels towards the car before gesturing to the bodyguards to let out of here who were standing near their cars. But she stopped as she turned her head towards Jia and saw she was still standing there.

"Jia! Come let's go." She called her from behind as Jia's back was facing her. Just then the rain's falling speed increased and it started falling heavily. Bella hurriedly ran towards Jia before grabbing her wrist from behind. She started to drag Jia along with her but Jia stopped Bella by speaking.

"No! I want to get wet in the rain." Jia said, releasing her wrist from Bella's grip.

"But Jia, it's not good for your health...you may catch a cold." She said worriedly.

"I don't care." Jia just simply replied by spreading her arms widely in the wet air, closing her eyes, facing the sky, feeling the raindrops on her face smilingly. "There's a different scent in the air today." Jia uttered, staying in the same posture.

Bella was standing in front of Jia silently looking at her beautiful smiley face, a mere smile plastered on Bella's face as she rarely gets to see such a beautiful sight. Just then she remembered the first meeting of Jia and herself. When they saw each other for the first time two years back. When Jia was just 20 and was completing her last year of graduation.

<<<<<<>>>>>>

Flashback to two years ago.

"It's nice to see you again." Mia said smilingly looking at her opposite sofa's sitting figure.

"Nice to see you again too....i missed you alot after going to Canada. Your men told me that you've called me back to South Korea to guard someone....who is that?" Bella asked, looking at Mia with a questionable face.

"My daughter. I want only you to guard my daughter because only you're able to do this." Saying this Mia handed a file to Bella.

"Your daughter?" Bella frowned in confusion before turning the first page of the file and the first thing she noticed was a picture of a girl named Kang Jia. Her eyes stuck on the picture for some moment before reading the information written inside the file.

"This is the information of my daughter's whole day time table."

As soon as Bella heard Mia's voice she looked at her with confused yet suspicious expression.

"I didn't know till today that you have a daughter. Now I'm feeling strange to know." Bella said with questionable expression.

"Because I never told you." Mia simply replied while Bella nodded in understanding.

"Well it's my honour to guard your daughter."

"Right now she is in Seoul University...she will be back in an hour. But you can go pick her up if you want to guard her from now on."

"Sure." Bella said, standing on her feet before making her way towards the exit door while Mia signalled her man to escort Bella to the car.

After reaching the car Bella bowed to the man in thanks. The man also bowed to her with the same passion. Then she took the driving seat before starting to drive.

••••••

Stopping the car in front of the entrance of the university, she got out of the car after opening the car door. After standing on her feet she started to wait for Jia to come out of the university with crossed arms in front of her chest and resting her back on the car door. After some moments she noticed a figure was standing on the top of the terrace of the university, it seemed like that person was about to jump. She narrowed her eyes to see who that person was but couldn't see clearly.

Without knowing who that person was she quickly ran inside of the university before informing the guards of the university. Some guards immediately ran towards the elevator and some ran towards the upstairs along with bella. After reaching the door of the terrace they found it locked from the other side. Without wasting any time Bella ran to the empty classroom passing the hallway while guards were still trying to unlock the door.

Getting near to the classroom window she dragged the window glass upward to open the window before sticking her head out of the window. Taking one leg out of the window, she grabbed tightly the big solid pipe next to the outside of the window before taking her other leg out of it. Clinging to the pipe tightly, she dragged herself upwards to reach the top edge of the terrace.

After jumping down on the terrace floor she saw a long hair girl standing on the top edge of the terrace wall. She moved towards that girl silently and did not want that girl to hear the sound of her footsteps as that girl's back was facing her.

"What is she waiting for? Perhaps she must be remembering her whole life before she jumps." Bella whispered to herself with a chuckle.

As soon as she reached near that girl, she grabbed that girl's wrist tightly from behind before pulling the girl downward. The loud thud and groan sound could be heard because that girl fell on the terrace floor.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU??" The girl shouted in an angry tone standing on her feet turning her face towards Bella, making Bella widen her eyes in shockness because she was none other than Jia.

"Why were you going to suicide?" Bella asked in a worried tone holding Jia's shoulder by her hands.

"Don't touch me b!tch....you ruined my pretty death." Jia blurted, jerking Bella's hands from her shoulder before going to jump from the terrace again but Bella grabbed her waist tightly from behind.

"Why do you want to die?"

"Cause this is my wish." Jia replied, struggling in Bella's grip.

"This is not a good reason to die."

"To live life there must be a good reason too...but I haven't any reason to live."

"If you don't have any reason to live then at least make one."

"JUST SHUT UP!!" Jia shouted, releasing herself from Bella's grip with her full force before punching hard on Bella's face, making her unbalanced.

Balancing herself properly Bella looked at Jia in disbelief.

"Did you just punch me?"

"Yes, and I will give you more." Saying this Jia went to punch Bella again but this time Bella quickly dodged Jia's punch by bending down.

"Have you gone mad? I'm not your punching bag."

Jia went to kick Bella but this time Bella dodged her attack.

Jia tried to kick Bella constantly but Bella also dodged all her kicks every time.

"Oh, so you know, fighting. I know too....you want to have a match?" Bella said maintaining some distance from Jia by making a boxing pose with a smirked face.

"Who are you?" Jia finally asked with an angry expression before standing properly while panting in tiredness. Just then the terrace door burst open catching their attention and the guards came running in front of them.

"Thanks for saving her." The guard bowed Bella in thanks.

"No need, it's my responsibility to save her." Bella said, looking at Jia smilingly.

"What do you mean by responsibility? Who are you after all?" Jia asked suspiciously.

"Your personal bodyguard."

"You? A girl is my bodyguard?" Jia raised her eyebrow looking at Bella head to toe.

"Yes, your mother Miss Mia signed me up as your personal bodyguard."

"Mom??" Jia asked in a low voice, her expression unknowingly changed into a sad one as Bella nodded affirmatively.

"Do you have any problem with this?" Bella asked, looking at Jia's unhappy face.

"No...I don't have any problem. Why would I have a problem with it?" She replied looking at Bella with a bitter smile.

"Thank you for helping me." Bella bowed to the guards in thanks. "Now you all can go. I'll take her safely with me."

The guards bowed to her in the same passion before exiting the terrace while Bella looked at Jia with a raised eyebrow. Sensing her gaze, Jia looked at her from the corner of her eyes.

"WHat?"

"You have to go with me and to face your mom for today's behaviour. Miss Jia." As soon as she said this, Jia rolled her eyes in irritation.

"Do I have any other option but to go with you?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.

"No, you must have to go with me." Bella nodded in denial.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go then." Jia uttered before making her way towards the exit door of the terrace. Bella looked at her from behind in disbelief thinking did she really stop Jia from committing suicide? And did Jia really obey her so easily? Bella has to be more careful about Jia. Trying to understand Jia's personality Bella also made her way towards the exit door.

End of flashback

<<<<<<>>>>>>

"No, I can't take a risk, we have to go....you have to understand Miss Jia." Bella tried to make Jia understand while Jia was still standing there in her same posture fully wet, feeling the raindrops.

Suddenly the running noises were heard drawing their attention and they saw some girls came running in front of them holding umbrellas over their heads while two closed umbrellas were hanging in the other hand of two of those girls.

"Princess! You're soaked, you might catch a cold." The girl said in a worried tone looking at Jia before opening the closed umbrella and placing it over Jia's head while another girl placed another umbrella over Bella's head. "As we saw you both were getting wet without having an umbrella we immediately brought umbrellas for both of you."

"Thank you for bringing us umbrellas." Jia said smilingly.

"We are your big fans...we have seen all your dramas and movies....you're our inspiration." The second second girl spoke.

"I'm still in the process of believing that you're standing in front of us. Can we take a picture with you?" One of the girls asked, looking at Jia with a requesting expression.

"Sure." As soon as Jia said this, the girl immediately took out her phone and handed it to Bella to click a group photo with Jia.

After clicking the photo Bella handed the phone back to that girl.

"You should go from here or else someone will steal you from us....and it's already evening...and it's raining very heavily too." The girl chuckled standing in front of Jia.

"Of Course. Many thanks to all of you." Jia bowed at girls, the girls also bowed at her in the same passion before exiting the place leaving Jia alone with bella.

"Your fans have also told you, so now you have to go from here." Bella said, drawing Jia's attention with a victorious smirk.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go then." Jia uttered before making her way towards the car.

"She hasn't changed yet." Bella whispered to herself shaking her head in disbelief before following Jia.

●◇◇◇◇◇◇●

Stopping the car in front of the huge hotel entrance, he got out of the car after opening the car door. As soon as he got out of the car the guards and staff quickly bowed at Jae in respect or perhaps in fear seeing the scary owner of the hotel come after so many days who has no such thing as mercy in his world.

"Park the car." He ordered throwing the car key to one of those guards. Passing through the entrance he took the hotel room key from the manager before quickly entering the elevator after making all the guards and staff shake in fear by passing in front of them. Reaching the top floor, he exited the elevator before passing through the hallway he entered to one of those hotel rooms.

Closing the door from inside, he took off his hoodie showing his bare upper body and threw it on the bed before making his way towards the huge glass window of the room. Standing in front of the glass window he took out a little cigarette box from his pocket of the jeans before taking out one of those cigarettes. He burned the corner of the cigarette with a lighter and started to smoke. Placing his one hand on the glass window he was looking at the city view from high through the glass window while his other hand was busy smoking.

And suddenly there was a sound of opening a door....

"Who are you?" It was Jia's voice.

Jae froze at his place after hearing a girl's voice.

"How did you get in?"
