It's funny how fate ties it all together in the end. --------- Lee Taeho; CEO, Tycoon, Hearthrob and basically Midas of the modern business world of Seoul. He has it all, so it seems. Money, looks, and especially a pretty lady in tow. Yes, sadly he is engaged to be married. He has it all sorted out, he owns the biggest tech company in all of the Republic of Korea and he stands to inherit the second biggest company from his marriage to a chaebol princess. In short, his future was set. Until a leak of his highschool picture. Now the media is raving about the innocent boy who wrote poems of the back of his school yearbook for his highschool sweetheart. Taeho heads to the south of Korea, in order to find the said lady he wrote poems for and do some damage control for his reputation before the marriage tanks before it even begins. But one look at Bo Yejeong and he is back to being the once obsessed teenage boy he was. And she was not alone! -------- Taeho stared down at the specimen in front of him, tilting his head to the side as he observe the little thing crouching on the ground. He was standing at a careful distance as though the kid would leap up to attack him anytime soon. "Hey kid, don't eat dirt. It's not for humans." The kid looked up at him and without breaking their eye contact, she reached out and grab a handful of dust as much as she could in her small stubby hands. Taeho watched in disbelief as she stuffed everything into her mouth without ever taking her eyes off him. "Wha— Hey!" "Mommy says not to listen to strangers." "She's right but you should listen this once." Taeho unbuttoned his coat and crouched, inching closer to the kid. He didn't know what he was doing but he figured he might get her to spit the dirt out of her mouth somehow while trying not to throw up at the thought. "Ajhussi, go away or i will scream for policeman uncle to take you away." She warned without even looking up, she went drawing letters on the sand. Was a six year old supposed to act like this? "Ah, this brat." -------- Author's note: Hey! check this story out. i promise it won't disappoint ^^, oh and pls do leave powerstones as this is my entry to a WPC, hehe a bit shameless request here as i was the last entry for the competition. A bit late to the game! But i ensure that you will have fun with Taeho and his gang! They are a wild pack to be with!

Chapter 101. Celebration

"Everyone, everyone!" The large man struggled to stand up from his chair as he was clearly drunk but he seemed fairly determined.

They were a bunch of young men, somewhere about their mid twenties and they were evidently in celebration. A fair number of drinks were already considerably inhaled as seen by the empty bottles of brandy, whiskey and scotch. They belonged to the more privileged group of people as even with their shit faced drunkenness, they were wearing expensive suits and shiny shoes. They looked up at the large man, who was still struggling to find a level of stability with his own feet. He grinned, amused by his lack of stable sense. He raised his scotch, which was filled halfway.

"I would like to make a toast," He looked down at a particular person seated in front of the table and smiled with uncomfortable emotion, "Taeho, my man."

The rest of the gentlemen cheered with disjointed harmony, clashing against each other.

"I have known you since you were a small, gangly kid. All arms and legs, it was as though a stick came alive and started walking around. But yet still, I knew you had it in you. Look at you now, you have come so far. We all have and it was not impossible after all. I am glad to be the person who has watched you transition from that kid to the beautiful man you are today. Congratulations on your engagement, you are finally getting hitched soon! That's my boy! Everyone, cheers to Taeho's future and the end of his bachelor membership! Cheers!"

The group collectively followed his cheer and downed the drink down, then slamming their glasses on the table as the scotch burned down their throat.

"Giseok, thank you." Taeho grinned at his best friend of ages. He was an exceptionally attractive man, with a straight nose and generous lips. Though it was also clear on his face, the struggle. He was slightly tan and had broad shoulders. The black formal shirt molded onto his muscular form as though it was tailored and honestly? It probably was after all. He was no man who would get bulk produce shirts. His tie hung low and loose on his neck as though he had just come in from a business meeting and his sleeves were tucked up, exposing his delectable forearms.

The bar was dark and it wasn't wild in the least sense. It was a high end bar with limited customers and members with personalized servers to each table. The ceiling was high and had a sleek modern architecture and hidden lights shone blue lights down on each booth of the bar. The people were barely visible in the dark blue light and thus allowed a certain amount of privacy. It was certainly an establishment for the rich folks.

"Did he say beautiful?"

The group burst out laughing, some almost passing out face flat on the table.

Taeho had to admit, he barely knew any of the other men except for Giseok and Jang Giseok had been practically glued to his side since middle school. He had a fairly rough past but he was all behind it. The only person who knew about it was Giseok and all other personal details in his life, Giseok probably knew as well. But in the business world, you can simply constrict yourself to one man. Thus this various assortment of chaebol kids were brought to his celebration party. It was all a carefully planned maneuver to bring them into the closer circle, then take it forward with business partnerships. If he was being honest, he didn't think his engagement was even worth celebrating. It was yet another business transaction.

"Psst…" The man next to him drunkenly whispered to him and Taeho leaned in.

"Great party, dude." The spoiled heir whispered into Taeho and Taeho shrugged with a charismatic smile pasted on his face robotically. The man leaned in closer and along with him, an onslaught of his drunken reek but Taeho resisted his urge to immediately back away from this man.

"Thanks for the invitation. Listen, you're a great man, you know that?"

"I pale in comparison next to you right now,"

The man barked out a burst of sharp laughter, throwing his head back as he swung his arms around Taeho's neck and pulled him closer. What was his name again? Pyulwoo? Pyeongwoo?

"That's whaat i meaaaan…listen, man, listen. Take this card."

Taeho frowned, or rather pretended to frown as he grabbed the card between two of his fingers. It read SaWol Industries in a decorative font at the corner. Taeho bit back a grin.

Bingo.

"That's my card. Whenever you're in need, SaWol will be ready for you."

Taeho looked up and met eyes with Giseok, a secret message went off between them and Giseok nodded imperceptibly. He looked away and Giseok brought his hands together with a loud slap. He was a considerably large bulky with small, intimidating features. A piercing pair of small eyes and a thin nose with a nondescript nose in between. He was so large that he could easily be mistaken for a wrestler and while he did wrestle years ago, he was now working in a security firm. He often came around as Taeho's bodyguard when he wasn't on any other assignment. He looked like the kind of person you wouldn't want to mess with.

"Oh!" He exclaimed, raising his wrist to look at his watch, "Look at the time! Look, it's already 3am. Heavens, we are going to be fucked tomorrow morning." he laughed humourously, looking around as he nodded to the group. Suddenly, the drunkenness seemed to disappear and the men straightened up.

"Shit, I have a meeting at 9." One of the men began, fumbling around his pockets to find his phone.

"I have an inspection due tomorrow." Another groaned, reaching for the last bottle of scotch.

God, it reeked in here. You'd think that expensive alcohol smelled like roses or some shit. Taeho craved for some cheap conbini beer right now but he thought to himself, what was the point of all this if he was going to resort to conbini beer. He sure didn't climb on top of the business ladder to resort to stupid cheap food cravings. He leaned back and watched the men gather themselves, albeit too slowly. They were hobbling around, some had their tie around their waist which was apparently a failed attempt to take it off. One eleven had his coat half on, and the other end hanging off one side of his shoulders. Taeho sighed deeply and pressed the bridge of his nose, a ringing headache beginning to make an appearance. It did get a bit tiring, how he had to go through all of this just to secure a business deal.

Beep Beep!

His phone vibrated in his pants and he lazily slipped it out. The screen was already lighting up with an incoming message. Silently, he went through the message, frowning as he read it.

"Yo, you good?" Giseok leaned in, tapping his knuckles on the table.

Taeho groaned and mumbled as he rubbed his eyes, "No,"

How would she do that??! ****** Excerpt: Nathan grabbed her by her neck. "Don't play tricks with me, Phantomflake." Nathan's cold voice reverberated inside the room, his eyes burning with rage.

With one swift move, Phantomflake pulled his shirt, closing their gaps as she crushed her lips against his lips. Surprisingly, Nathan just found himself responding to her. He lost!

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot

In her previous life, she rose from a country girl to become a CEO, working diligently until she died of overwork at 38, only to find that she had been greatly betrayed by her useless husband, who even had a child outside their marriage. When she opened her eyes, she was back to being eighteen years old, facing grandparents who favored boys over girls, a father who was honest and kind but dared not resist his parents, her mother who loved them deeply but was easily bullied by others, and her brother who still loved her despite her coldness. In this life, she decided to take her family away from those greedy relatives, save her brother from a fate of disability, and stay away from her useless ex-husband. Unexpectedly, she saved an even more important person by the roadside. "Your husband is just a country bumpkin; he didn't even get into university. How could you live well with him?" her ex-husband said. One day, a Bentley stopped next to her. A driver got out and bowed to her, saying, "Madam, the Boss is waiting for you for dinner." "I know that car! It belongs to a rich family!" someone exclaimed. "Did he just call her Madam?" another person asked. ... "Did you hear? He brought a country girl home?" "They say that girl is his wife. Isn't it funny?" "Madam has arrived!" said the steward. "OMG, it's the talented girl from the famous university!" "Dear lord! She is the legend of the A-shares!" "I'm just so shocked..." "Hey, guys, she is my wife," he said.
