1. The Vendetta.

"Ma'am! Here's your milk tea" A maid in her late fifties enter in a huge room and placed a cup of tea on the table in front of the window. The room was dark, without any lights, it's dark grey color was making it more scary. The right wall was full of pictures of a little girl with bangs and a suited man in his early thirties, the left wall was decorated with strange paintings. The only source of light in that room was a beam of light coming out from the front window.

"Ma'am? Should I turn on the lights?" Maid asked, looking at the silhouette of a girl, standing near the window, looking outside. She turned her head slightly.

"No, it's okay. Let it be." She said, without looking at the maid. The maid bowed and immediately left the room.

"Mrs. Watson! Never ask her about the lights again." A guard, who was standing right outside her room said in cold tone. Maid looked at her, frowning in confusion.

"Why so?" She asked, looking at that tall man.

"Miss Grace can't tolerate the brightness due to her anxiety issues." He said, without even looking at her and she nodded before leaving. Grace smiled sadly at their conversation as she could clearly hear it through the slightly opened door. She sat on the chair, picked a pen and her diary before taking a first sip of her tea.

"Ah!" She sipped on her cup and smiled. "Tea is the only thing which can make me happy even when I'm locked in this jail." She thought and opened her diary.

"Dear Nemo, it's was a same old boring day, called my father again and he? Oh, he didn't answered my calls....again! I don't want to live like this anymore. I don't know why my father is doing this to me, but now I just want to taste the freedom, I want to make new friends hang out with them, want to click pictures with them, putting those pictures on my social media accounts. Is it too much to ask for? I just want to live like others, doing jobs, getting scold by my boss, eating street food....this is all I need. I want to be recognized by my father, I want to live as Kim Graciana, daughter of Kim Jung Hoon. I hope one day I shall get all these things and my story will get a happy ending." She write and put the pen back in pen-case and sighed. Things she mentioned in her journal might be petty little useless things for someone, but for Grace, these things were more valuable than gold or platinum. She spent eighteen years of her life in a beautiful jail called Kim mansion, made by her father. Indeed her house was no less than a palace, decorated beautifully, filled with precious things, but these all things were useless in front of her desire to get the freedom, the freedom of doing anything without any fear. She was under surveillance for 24×7, her whole house was filled with cameras, even in her room she was under the surveillance of a thermal camera. About fifty men were guarding her house, her every single movement was recorded in the name of protection, her life was way more horrible than a criminal in the jail.

In Korea, it was another busy day for Kim Jung Hoon as one of his rival company got the over-sea contract which was supposed to get by his company.

"Mr. Edison! This is bullshit. How come Lee enterprise got the contract? It was supposed to be ours. What the hell is going on?" Mr. Kim yelled at his secretary, who was standing there like a statue, looking down at the floor as he knew this was going to be a long day for him.

"Alice Jeon, our PR head, decieved us sir. The eldest son of Mr. Lee offered her a huge amount of ,only and she accepted it and helped him to get the contract." Edison explained the situation, still looking down at the floor as he didn't has the courage to look into Mr.Kim's angry eyes.

" That bastard! I'm gonna kill that little rat." He yelled, banging his hands on the glass table of his cabin.

"Arrange a meeting with Lee enterprise as soon as possible. I am not going to let this slip out of hands this easily." Mr. Kim said, giving him a death glare and Edison nodded. "Yes sir."

"Sir, Young miss is calling you since yesterday, would you like to talk to her?" Edison asked, shutting his eyes closely as he wasn't sure what reaction he would get this time.

"No, don't you dare mention her name in this office." He said, before leaving the cabin. Edison sighed in relief as soon as Mr. Kim left the room.

"Hello? Yeah, it's me, Edison. Can you please fix a meeting with Mr. Lee? yeah! yeah fine." He said on the phone, picking up some files from the cabin and running behind Mr. Kim.

"Mr. Kim! Meeting with Mr. Lee has been fixed." He said, running behind him.

*****

"Mr. Lee! Your meeting with Mr. Kim has been fixed. Should I inform the board directors?" A woman in her late twenties with black eyes and bright makeup informed a man sitting in hi cabin. He looked at her through his specs and smiled. She couldn't bear his his intense gaze on her face and blushed a little. He was tall, handsome with honey brown eyes and dark brown hair. His light pink plumpy lips were making him look like more seductive.

"First day here?" He asked, looking at her and she nodded.

"No, don't inform the directors, I am going to handle this." He said, chuckling a little on seeing her red cheeks. She smiled and left the room immediately.

"What happened Lisa?" One of her friends asked when she came out of that cabin.

"ahhh!!!! He is so hot. How can a man be so sexy, Mina?" Lisa exclaimed in happiness, doing a little happy dance around her friend Mina. She smiled, looking at her friend.

"But I've heard the youngest son of Mr. Lee is more handsome." Mina said, teasing her best friend a little.

"Mr. Lee has two sons? I have never seen the other one." Lisa stopped smiling and turned her face towards Mina. She nodded.

Mr. Lee Seokjin has two sons, one from his first wife that is Mr. Lee Joo-won, the one you just met right there. The other is from his second wife that is Mr. Lee Yae-Joon, nobody has ever seen Yae joon as he is living abroad." Mina explained the whole situation to Lisa. Before Lisa could ask more about it, A man came there, who was probably the head of their department.

"Yaaa!!! Go back to your work, boss is not paying you for gossiping." He yelled at them before entering the cabin and both the girls left the place immediately.

"Sir, it's almost time. Your meeting with Mr. Lee is about to start." Edison informed Mr. Kim and they immediately left for the meeting as the building of Lee Enterprises and Kim Enterprises were exactly opposite to each other. They all entered in the conference hall where Mr. Lee Joo-won was already waiting for them. As soon as Mr. Kim entered the room, his eyes met with Mr. Lee's cold honey brown gaze.

" Ah! Mr. Kim! Welcome, Welcome." He smirked, without even getting out of his chair. Mr. Kim looked at him with a death glare but controlled his anger within a second and sat on the chair opposite to him.

"Joo-Won! this is my last warning to you and your family, please don't you dare to interfere in my business and stay away from me or be ready to face the consequences." Mr. Kim said in a very calm but dangerous tone. Joo-won smiled at him for a second.

"I won't. I will never stol bothering you. I promised my family to ruin you and your whole business and I will do that at any cost." He said, smiling at him but his eyes were getting slightly wet.

"You? You will ruin me? hah! you really forgot what I did to your mother?" He smiled. "She was begging for her life in front of me." He chuckled to irritated Joo-won. Joo-won's eyes were wet and he was trying his best to control his tears. He gulped down the emotions built jn his throat and chuckled.

"And you forgot what my father did to your wife? Ah! you forgot. He raped your wife, made her dead in pieces, first he killed her soul and then he killed her body. Remember?" Joo-won said, getting out of his chair, smiling at him with wet eyes. Mr. Kim looked at him with anger in his eyes.

"I still have my step-mother, my brother and my father with me. What do you have, Kim Jung Hoon?" He chuckled at him.

"That's the difference, Joo-won! I don't have anything to lose now, that's what makes me more powerful than you." Mr. Kim got out of the chair and smirked. "Take care of your family or they are gonna end up dead." Mr. Kim said, before leaving the conference hall. Joo-won sat back on his chair and tears rolled down to his cheeks, flashbacks of her mother started playing in his mind.

On the other side, Mr. Kim was heading out of the Lee enterprises when they saw a familiar person, Alice Jeon. She smirked at him.

"Edison!" Mr. Kim called his secretary.

"Yes, Sir?" He came a bit closer to him.

"Kill that bitch as soon as possible." He whispered in his ear and he nodded. "It'll be done by tomorrow morning, Sir." He smiled.

''Take this money and leave the country as soon as possible.'' A man in his late sixties, wearing a business suit, tossed a briefcase on the couch, in front of a man, who was standing other side of the couch. He was in his late twenties with hazel eyes, honey brown hair, Grey business suit with a microphone in his eyes, perfectly defining him as some bodygyard. He looked at the old man with anger in his eyes and picked up the suitcase before leaving the room. He threw his name plate in the corridor before leaving that mansion. ''Lee Yae joon'' was written on that black name plate in golden colour.

Lee Yae joon was raised by her mother and his father in Seoul, Korea. But His mother died when he was in his high school. He was excellent in sports and martial arts so after graduating from a college he joined a private bodyguards institute to train himself as a bodyguard in Paris as he didn't want to indulge himself in the dirty work of his father. He excelled in his every test that soon he was appointed as bodyguard of president's son.

All the flashbacks started to come in his mind how he joined the academy and how he was appointed as the bodyguard of President's son.

''What wil I do now?'' He whispered, looking at the road ahead of him in his car. ''I don't want to go back to that world.'' He whispered, while keepinh his eyes on road but suddenly a girl came in front of his car out of nowhere and slightly hit the car. He stopped the car and yelled at her as he was already in bad mood.

''Are you out of your mind? Idiot! watch where you going.'' He said, getting out of his car. He moved towards her as she was sitting in the middle of the road, looking at her feet which was bleeding by hitting to the car. Yae joon couldn't see her face as it was covered with her hairs. She was wearing a black frock and looking like a girl from a decent family.

''Excuse me! Are you hurt?'' He asked, standing near her and she turned her face to look at him. Her light brown eyes met his hazel ones for the first time and he couldn't stop looking at that face. That bright wheatish flawless skin, those black hairs playing on her soft skin, those plumpy soft pink lips, everything was just so perfect. Too beautiful to be true, indeed.
