Chapter Thirty - The Ex is Back (Bonus)
— Kang Dae
The city sleeps while I smoke a cigarette to take the weight of tomorrow off my mind. I can't sleep. Not even after countless rounds of sex. Jin Ae's presence must have set Aera off because it's rare for her to initiate sex. I'm an ass to enjoy seeing her riled up on my behalf. I love it when she's selfish about me. And this must be her first time experiencing genuine jealousy over another woman.
I turn to see her fast asleep, her pale skin beautiful under the moonlight. Her long hair streams behind her, her smooth thigh drapes over my side of the bed. Unconscious, her body seeks for mine. I'd do anything to keep her with me, tie her down even if I have to.
For months after Mun-Yee's death, I worked restlessly, reaching out to all my connections, and started mapping out our future – one free of the Yun family influence. With the aid of trusted business associates, and with Jin Ae's help, I can set my plan in motion.
This weekend, I'll just have to announce it to everyone and when it's over…I palm the square velvet box in my pocket. Aera and I can start our new lives together.
It all boils down to how my old man will react to the news.
