1 "A new life"

Luna's Point of View (POV) :

~The weather is cloudy today, just like my life. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself, I am Kim Luna, the only heiress of Kim Merchandise Pvt Ltd. My father, Mr. Kim Moon-Tae is the biggest business tycoon of marine jewelry in Seoul. So naturally, I am leading a princess lifestyle with an ice-cold heart. Due to my picky nature & cold attitude, people call me "Frozen Princess". Many people are envious of my looks and life, not everyone can live as an "heiress". I have everything in this life- appearance, beauty, money, fame, power, luxury...everything an ordinary person can dream of, but no one knows about veiled my dark side.

But, I have a secret, a dark and a deeper one.

I have reincarnated again after 30 years with the same face and all the memories of my past life. In my last life, I was born as the daughter of a poor farmer in a small town named Yesan. My name was Ha-Eun, which my mother gave me. We had no money, no luxury, almost nothing which I can afford in this life easily. But there is something which I am devoid of in this life- that's love and happiness. I had a younger brother, Jung Woo; I loved him so much. 

But sadly, in this life, I am a neglected child. To the outside world, I am an heiress, but my real truth is my parents never took care of me in this life. With their business trips, tours, and meetings and they totally forgot there is a lonely child, waiting for their return at home. I never had a chance to celebrate my birthday or my graduation day with my parents.

On my birthday, I used to receive lots of flowers, gifts, cakes from renowned pastry chefs, and a letter from my busy parents. But, I patiently always waited for the letter on my birthday more than any gifts as a token of their love. But one day I learned a bitter truth...

The letter which my parents send me on my birthday was always written by Mr. Jo, my father's personal assistant, that depicted my parents never sent me any token of love from their side. This bitter truth broke my heart into a thousand pieces. I understood that to them, I am only an heiress, who will take care of the Merchandise and its employees in the future; I don't have the right to seek their love.

All these harsh truths and neglectful behaviors forced me to form an iced armor around myself so that no one can hurt me anymore. I became the "Frozen Princess".

One more thing I forgot to mention, I hate love. To be specific, I don't wanna indulge myself in the emotions of love. My sad fate is I am born with all the memories of my past life. Even when I tried hard to forget my painful scars which I got from loving someone so much for 10 years from the past life, I couldn't do it. The memories became the nightmare of my life which caused me to despise this feeling forever.

That doesn't mean that I haven't tried dating. I have dated many guys in order to get over my trauma but every time I failed miserably. My despise led me to have trust issues with everyone, except Mrs. Park.

Mrs. Park is my caretaker, the only person who cares and loves me unconditionally. She never let me be alone all by myself whenever I needed someone to wipe my tears. On my birthday, she always baked a cake and bring colorful balloons for me. She is probably the only person I trust and rely on in this lonely life.

But I want to live my life happily this time without any regrets. So I am making the best use of my power and money. I will be so strong that nothing can hurt me anymore.

Although I am an heiress, I am the owner of a luxurious cafe in Seoul, "Cafe Memoir". I have more than 30 staffs to run this place. All over, I am happy with my life as it's going now. But I really don't trust my fate.

(Phone ringing)

I looked at my mobile screen, my Mom was calling me. Wow! She had called me after 2 months, generally, she calls after 4-5 months, I guess there is some reason this time. I picked up,

"Hello, Luna!"

"Yeah, Mom."

"How are you honey?", she asked in a soft voice.

I remained silent for some time and then asked, "What's the reason you had to call me for?"

"Oh my! Why are you saying to me all this sweetie? Does a mother needs a reason to call her child?"

I smiled. I felt glad that she still considers me as her child, not an heiress.

"Sorry Mom if you felt bad, I am just happy that you called me", I said with a small grin on my face.

"Aww, my sweetheart! I am so happy to talk to you too. I am sorry we couldn't visit you for 6 months, but we will come to you soon. Before that, there is something your Dad and I have decided for you."

"What Mom?"

"Today at around 5 pm you have a date."

"What?" I was shocked.

"Sorry for the sudden announcement honey. But I and your Dad have picked up the right partner for you. He is the only heir of Choi Industries; I think you know honey how much big an industrial complex it is!

"But Mom I don't need anyone, I am happy alone!" I opposed it.

"No dear, you are 29 now. Women should get married within this age!"

"But Mom what's all this sudden announcement?"

"Honey, we have just set up the date. Today you first go and meet him, after that you can decide whatever you want. But from our sources, we have learned that he is really a good guy! And your father has many business deals with their companies!"

"Mom, are you trading your daughter with them to increase Dad's business?" I asked her harshly.

"Why are you saying all this honey? How can we think of such a disgusting thing! We just want you to settle with someone good for you. Every parent wants that for their children...", she said in a low voice.

I felt a bit bad for speaking so harshly with her. "Where I have to meet him? And who is he?", I asked softly.

"You don't have to go anywhere honey, he will come to your cafe place at 5 pm. His name is Alex Choi. He is tall, handsome & totally your type. Your dad has given your picture to him, so he will come & find you! Have a good time sweetie. Mom loves you."

She disconnected the call. I sighed. "Damn! What a nuisance! But don't worry, I will reject you soon Alex Choi," I thought with a proud smirk.

...

But I didn't have the slightest idea of such a grand surprise awaited me at that time.

As I didn't even realize, my new life will be turned upside down forever!
