|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV ||

" I..I don't understand.. how every small crime of his..are coming back..even crossing a red signal on the traffic? Seriously?"

I murmured in bewilderment, flipping through the pages of my father's past crime that had been reopened by someone one after another. The pages felt too heavy in my hands.

I knew that my father wasn't a good man. But nobody held grudges against him. His arch nemesis had all died in cross fire already. Those dark empires were a fairy tale now.

Uncle John released a sigh, showing me the paper one after another,

" I can't help anymore if the cases continue opening. Your father's timing has already extended. I am afraid that if it continues, he can probably never get out of the jail."

I slammed my fist on the table, growling softly,

" This.. can't happen..He must come out or else I will lose whatever is left in my life."

Uncle John asked another question, looking at me pitifully,

" Kat! Remember! Did you offend someone? You know what I think, you should contact this man and request him to not reopen any cases. Only then you can take your father out of the jail."

I fell into a deep dilemma. Ace was there, getting on my nerves already. Then again, another mysterious person appeared to destroy my life. All I wanted was a simple and peaceful life unlike my father who was always hungry for power.

I took uncle John's advice before requesting him to help,

" Who.. who is this person? Tell me? Or help me find him. I will beg him to not reopen any new cases."

Uncle John replied, furrowing in confusion as well,

" This person is really mysterious. It's only his people who are working behind the shadows. Anyways, I will try my best to get the details. Please wait for a while, Kat."

Uncle John made a call to his colleague who replied something in Spanish. His colleague told us to wait for half an hour. I had to wait no matter what the situation was.

Uncle John's assistant offered coffee to us. I took a sip as I heard him suggesting,

" It is taking time. Do you want to meet your father?"

" NO!!", I cut him off without hesitation, swallowing the lump in my throat. The mention of my father took me back to my past to remind me of what he did to me. As a man who never saw me as a daughter, he didn't deserve my kindness. Before leaving the country, I went to meet him but all he said to me was that my mother brought him bad luck. That's why, she was suffering in the hospital too.

As far as I could remember, she was a lovely woman who never appreciated his crimes. Perhaps that's why, God took the ability from her to understand anything.

A ring on his phone tore my thoughts from the painful days. It was his Spanish colleague who told him that he sent his information in his email. Uncle John clicked the computer open, typed something and finally spoke, pushing around the screen towards me,

" This guy... Ace King..The people who came, they were all from him."

I almost stopped breathing at that moment. I should have guessed it long ago. He became the devil himself. How would he forget the pain that I had caused him? Now, it's my whole family who are paying for this.

I choked on my words, muttering before running out of the police station,

" Uncle John..I got it...I...I will take care of it..."

Uncle John asked many questions behind me but I was already running outside, panting and choking. Once I was outside, it all came out together. I broke into tears, whimpering and begging,

" I am so.. sorry..I...am so... sorry...I shouldn't have left you..I.."

________

I had no idea for how long I was crying in the rain. Until Eliana sent me the address of Ace's house, I kept crying. No amount of apologies could fix what I did to him. I let him get close to me then tore him apart in the worst way possible. He was broken then I fixed him. But I broke him again to the point that there was no way to fix it again.

How could I ask for his forgiveness?

The rain wasn't showing any sign of stopping. I got into the taxi, trembling and shivering in coldness. Eliana had already texted me the location that I had to go on. She kept asking so many things but I had no time to answer. My whole life was depending on Ace's forgiveness so my mother's. My mother was the only thing that was left for me in this whole world after I lost Ace. Well..my father..I never thought him as my family after what he did to me. Not until now, I couldn't forgive him no matter what happens or how many years had passed. I was sure that my mother would have done the same, considering the hell that he put me through.

My body felt exhausted after crying for an hour in the rain. Without my consciousness, my eyes closed off, drifting to sleep due to my weak body.

The dream that I had seen felt so live and clear to me. I saw us again, back to the days when I was only seventeen, a fresh teenager.

" You will be the mother of my child. Promise? You won't leave me, Kate, will you?"

" Never!! I love you more than my life. How can I leave you?"

" Kate! I have grown up in a monstrous family who never showed me what love is until I met you. You became the only light of my dark life. Remember if you ever leave me, I will become the monster..the devil again.."

    " Sister Janet! It's too late! Why don't you stay in our company's hotel?", Lily suggested, quickly catching up with her pace. Janet pondered for a while and found that it was better now. Now the clock had tickled to 11 P.M at night and there was no call from Victor, she assumed that he hadn't returned yet. Furthermore, she felt bored in the house all alone. Janet nodded with her in agreement and looked behind the tall building," You sound right! I will stay overnight here then. Call the manager to notify him once."Recently, SKYWINGS started earning well slowly. CEO Gary quickly bought this hotel nearby to expand the business. For the artists under SKYWINGS, they had a privilege in their sub branches such that she could stay in this hotel without any cost.After manager Aiden had confirmed that Janet could stay at the hotel, Lily left her at the entrance and drove back to her own house. From the hidden Maybach, Noah had his eyes fixed on the girl who was bidding farewell to her assi

    Janet coughed vigorously before asking to double check. Her eyes were slightly widened in shock," Mmm! CEO Gary..are..are you sure that these rules are not for me?"Naturally, the company gives multiple clauses to artists to keep up with their perfect image. So, Janet was obviously doubtful even questioned about CEO Gary's authority in her heart. CEO Gary made a face like he wanted to smack this dumb woman's head. He put another cupcake into his mouth before telling," Do you think that I would come here personally to humiliate myself just to show you this?"Janet was speechless. Even Andrew who heard the pathetic terms came across to take a look at the papers. His eyes were big in disbelief as he slammed the papers down to blurt out loud," No way! Janet! He must be a fake CEO!"CEO Gary rolled his eyes and leant against the couch leisurely. His lips twitched in the mockery before asking Andrew back," Boy...you have never been in love right?"Andrew seemed dumbstruck by his questio

    The engagement news was kept hidden. Since when CEO Fred heard it from Janet's mouth, he was baffled out before losing the ability to say anything. His marriage to the heir of Graham's family was fixed. That heir from the Graham family was a spoiled woman who could even beat men. Because of her share from the company's family, CEO Fred agreed to marry her. However, the girl had only one rule which was that he had to stay far away from women. If she finds anything again, she would come to break his leg personally.That mad woman..CEO Fred was internally freaking out but however, he couldn't even talk now or do anything. Janet was satisfied with the terrified expression on his face. She simply pulled her phone out and clicked a few pictures of CEO Fred who was laying half-conscious. Without hesitation, she sent it to his Fiancee. After all, the girl was innocent and she deserved to know the true face of this scum.After taking a few pictures from different angles, Janet saw that the pa

    Janet took a deep breath to calm herself down. She rubbed her forehead aching and finally said in a serious voice," CEO.. Victor...You are too much really..I feel like you are seducing me to stay at your home. Please you are an honorable person. You deserve to act all high and proud. Why are you insisting on chasing me?"Victor let out a helpless sigh. He had nothing to respond actually. It was more like a first sight. The moment he saw her in the hospital, he wanted her as his own. So, he approached her slowly and cautiously. It felt as though he was attracted to her from the beginning. He ignored her question, said apologizing," I..I am sorry..I have gone overboard..I know that you don't like me..but I can't help.. really.."Janet didn't feel convinced with her words. She replied sternly, looking down at her feet," I guess, it's not convenient for me anymore to stay at your home. I stayed because of your health condition but now, I badly feel that I should leave, CEO Victor..We a

    " What opinions?", Noah entered into the dining room, looking extremely tired. The new company was taking a lot of his strength to build up. When he appeared on the entrance, he barely heard about the elders, discussing about something regarding his opinion.Jonathan smiled big at his son, replied after patting the seat next to him," There, my son! We were talking about your marriage to Jessica."Noah froze in his track, looked blankly at the elders as if they were cracking jokes. However, Jessica was already blushing. She lowered her head down to hide her smile. Noah retorted sharply, turning grim in annoyance," What... what did you say? Getting married to Jessica? Since when did I agree?"The dinner table fell awkwardly silent. His response even shocked Jessica who looked up at him stupified. Jessica never expected that Noah was going to refuse to marry her even after finding the dark sides of Janet.Didn't he say that he hated Janet for abandoning her family for her dream?Mother
