Wounded: The Ordeals Of Lee Eun ha

Eun Ha? " the manager called, " Please take a menu to that table and get their request." deep down she would have wanted someone else to do it but this was the boss orders, who was she to reject. she took the menu and walked straight to the table, her heart was racing very fast, she couldn't phantom exactly why. good evening Sir, she said bowing her head politely as she offered the menu what would you like to have? they looked at the menu and pointed what they wanted, she went out from the table and brought the cocktail they had ordered, she turned back to leave when the voice of one of them stopped her in her tracks. "wait" her heart stopped for some split seconds and continued beating with difficulty. I know you, you're Mr Lee's daughter he said with and an evil grin that revealed his tobacco colored teeth. she froze as the tray she was holding dropped to the ground. "I was right, it's them" The restaurant on the ground floor was filled with people mostly the elites, some of them were tourist, others were there for a business meeting and others, conferences. the sound of the dropped tray caught the attention of most of them, making them glance at Eun Ha for some split seconds. He continued, The deadline is tomorrow evening don't forget that. Eun Ha had wanted to say something to them, perhaps, beg them but the words never left her throat. Eun Ha stood there for about two minutes, "will you get us our meal or will you just stand there?" the other muttered harshly. she knew they were evil men, above the law. falling into their trap was the most dangerous place a person could be. she resigned to begging for more time. one glance, Mu Chen could tell what was happening "X force" he whispered underneath his breath. they had quite a reputation and were feared by many. They feared no one and could illegally obtain what was theirs if necessary. He looked at the helpless young lady on the floor, he knew there was no way they'd let her go, no matter how much she begged. he didn't know this girl, yet he felt a need to protect her. he went out and waited in his car in the parking area. "Wait," he said with a deep voice. Chae won was surprised he would have sworn a few minutes ago that he was in a hurry to leave. The loan sharks finished their meal as she handed them their bills, "How ironic, we're paying for your service and you owe us," he said humorously as they both burst into laughter. Eun Ha felt a knife pierce her heart, she had never felt so much humiliation in her life. she followed them outside the building trying to plead with them for the last time to see if they'd cave in and give her more time but they just walked straight to the car and drove off. Eun Ha stood outside the hotel, in despair, her father was going to die, this men were ruthless, the cloud had darkened earlier, soon few drops of rain started falling, but she was in no hurry to leave as if it were possible for the rain to wash down all her pain, she stood outside staring blankly into thin air while it rained on her, soon her hair was separating into clustered strands, tear a freely flowed down her cheeks, she felt like screaming, she felt helpless, Just then she couldn't feel the raindrops on her skin she turned as her eyes met with a tall handsome young man holding a big black umbrella. Mu Chen looked at her sorrowful eyes, he could see the pain in her soul through them. "I know who they were, and I can roughly guess what it is" Eun Ha was confused, "what did he know? who was he? why is he being kind to me?" she asked one question after another in her head. "How much?" he asked with a king like voice. "10,000 dollars," she said as her lips trembled, "How did you...?" this time she was starting to get suspicious. I have an offer for you, I'll clear the debt but you'll carry my baby"

I am sorry

"Our? what did he mean by our," she thought to herself as she froze on her seat, are we going to get your father or are you just going to seat down there he said standing up from his seat,

"thank you, Bok Su, do take care of the rest"

"Sure thing" he bowed slightly as they all made their way out of the cafeteria. he walked towards the car and she followed sheepishly behind him. he opened the door of his car and noticed she wasn't making any moves to go in.

"How naive," he thought to himself.

" is she dumb?"

"get in". those two words fell on her ears like a bomb, she wasn't expecting he'd do this for her, after all, it wasn't part is the contract terms, he wasn't even obligated to, so why would he do this, knowing it might be risky for him

She slowly opened the car and got in, she was very tensed, the weather wasn't so hot but her uneasiness had made tiny balls of sweat roll down her jawline from her forehead.

My Chen knew that area wasn't safe, he also knew anything could happen to a lady all by herself in Season ridge, he was just making sure that the mother of his parent's grandchild was safe.

He picked up his phone and sent a quick text message to Chae Won. and switched on his tracker.

He ignited the car and drove off.

Eun Ha was very confused, she couldn't phantom why he was doing all this for her, she was going to be indebted to him for life.

she felt a sense of relief, as the cool wind passing through the windows hit her face, they passed several towns and streets before finally taking a U-turn which led straight to Serion ridge, the place was slightly congested, the houses were built so close to each other that each structure lacked proper ventilation, it was made up of two-storey buildings, which had twenty two-bedroom apartments per building, several if such buildings were there.

if any criminal was looking for a proper hideout, Serion ridge was the best place for that.

Eun Ha observed the surroundings, looking for possible escape routes should something bad happened.

She picked up her phone and dialled the number that had called her mother to inform her of the deadline.

"Hello, I'm here"

"Good, come to the 14th block at the right side of the street"

she repeated out loud so Mu Chen could get the information

"14th block at the right side of the street," it wasn't difficult to locate the buildings were numbered

he drove to the 14th block and parked his car at the left side of the building, he connected his phone to his AirPods to confirm from Chae Won his bodyguards were close by.

they both crossed to the other side of the building. she could feel the stares of the locals. Although they didn't seem surprised, it was almost like they were used to seeing strangers around.

A man in a Suit suddenly appeared in front of them as soon as they approached the building.

"I see you brought company, he looks rich too" he smirked

"where is he?" she asked fiercely, Mu Chen observed her closely, she was unafraid, she had hesitated to get into the car with him, he would have mistaken her for a scared cat but here she was in the middle of nowhere a dangerous area and there was no atom of fear in her eyes.

"calm down, little pumpkin" he attempted to touch her face, as Mu Chen grabbed his hand's mid-air. dropping it violently.

"We have your money, bring out her father," he said authoritatively.

Hwang Ji had assessed him, he could tell he was no ordinary person.

"you're here acting tough, if they've had you all along, Her father shouldn't be here in the first place," he said with a smirk

Mu Chen was determined to make this a peaceful, exchange hence, he ignored the subtle insult

"her father" this time he said sounding impatient.

he kept his eyes on both of them and made a call, "bring him out"

Hwang Ji was in charge of this group that controlled City A, they had people from the higher-ups supporting them. the X force wasn't just money lenders, they were the ones you'd call if you wanted something or someone to disappear.

Eun Ha just wanted to see her father unharmed, they had been standing there for 5 minutes and it was getting dark, just then two men brought out her father, he was looking skinny and tattered, he had several cuts on his lips

what did you do with him Eun Ha asked clenching her fists tightly

you wasted time little girl, he was also stubborn,"

"the money," he asked with a cold thick voice

she quickly dipped her hands into the black mini bag and brought out the bundle of 100dollar notes.

"10,000 in cash," She said.

Hwang Ji quickly signalled one of his boys to bring the mobile money counting device, he confirmed the amount and slightly nodded his head.

The men working for him were huge, about two of them were ex American soldiers. one of them pushed Eun Ha's father as he landed on the ground. besides Eun Ha

he was looking pale and famished, tears welled up Eun Ha's eyes as she bent down to lift him, he could barely walk, she could only imagine the terrible things that had been done to him.

They both turn to leave, the voice of Hwang Ji was the last thing they heard before approaching the car,

"we'll meet again pumpkin," he said with an evil laugh

"No you won't," Mu Chen said coldly as he opened the back seat for Eun Ha, she slowly placed her father, in the starting with making sure his back was rested then she lifted his legs inside the car. she could only imagine the horrible things that had been done to him, she had earlier despised him for making her go through all she did and would but seeing him like this made her sad letting out been holding in.

Mu Chen tried to stay still, he didn't want to give off an impression that would imply he cared for her.

she got in the back seat as he drove off to her apartment.

her eyes were all red and swollen from crying throughout the journey, she couldn't bear the sight of seeing her father in that state the fact that she had just sold herself and her future for this made her even sadder.

they got off in front of the apart meant as she helped him out of the car. he had been really weak and unable to say a word, just a few balls of tears that rolled down his cheeks from the side of his eyelids were enough to show how much he regretted what he did.

"I'll text you the location for the procedure don't be late" was all he said and he drove off.

Eun Ha simply nodded

She pushed the door open as her mother rushed him to assist her to carry her father to the couch, they had a lot to discuss but he needed to rest.

Eun Ha was about to leave when her father loosely grasped her hand, she turned to look at him and he managed to say just 3 words

"I am sorry"
