All Chapters of Her Game (English Version): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

That day… was the day that I should have been happy, but everything turned out the other way. I lost everything in one snap. As if I wasn’t allowed to feel happiness because I don’t deserve any. That I have no rights because I have everything. Name. Wealth. Power. And anything.With my blurry eyes, I stared at the flatscreen TV and let my tears continue running down my cheeks. It was one of the cold days in December, but the news that morning was hot and burning. Like it was a scorching fire that burned my young and innocent heart and turned it into ashes.“Two of the most successful business couples in the Philippines were declared dead on arrival this early morning. Engineer Akem Jhyun Lee and his wife, Architect Oseanna Lee, had a plane crash after their business trip in Palawan,” the popular female newscaster said.My teary eyes remained on the screen as my parents’ pictures flashed after she declared the headline. My heart started to beat fast and loud. I couldn’t believe what I

"Are you alright?" "N-no… I mean... yes… I'm feeling okay," I stammered. I shook my head in defensiveness as I pushed his hand away from me,He would have tried again with the back of his hand to see if I had a fever.I do feel hot, but I know it's not because of the fever. That's because—are you crazy, Akemi?! Aside from being young, your parents just died!Ryu's thick brows furrowed. His narrow-eyed stare told me that he was not buying my alibi. The same hand that I slapped came up, again trying to check my temperature. But I had already taken a step back before his palm touched my skin, and I shook my head again."I am okay, Ryu," I said with a laugh, but the shock in my voice was almost obvious.He nodded. But he was still not convinced, and it was obvious from his stoic face."Why are you here?" I asked to sway the topic and loosen myself up."Just checking in on you---""There's no problem, Ryu. I'm not sick... or anything."He nodded again, pouting his lips. "Alright, then. If

Raising his brows, Ryu held my arm until we reached the parking lot where his car was. I'm very irritated, especially now that he showed up after five years. Then it went like this?"I said it hurts, Ryu!"He immediately let go of my arm as he realized what I had told him. I probed my arm. The redness was bright, and I could feel the pain in the part he touched.I looked at his face and immediately found his eyes. His hooded eyes were dark and cold. Like I pushed his patience to the limit as I saw how his jaws struggled to clench.After five years of not seeing, texting, or even calling, he's going to face us—me—like this? I guess I should be the one to act like that because, in the first place, he never finds a way to communicate with me! To ask how I am after leaving me without his words!I was very worried about his sudden disappearance. Then, I find out that he is already in another country? Am I not a worthy friend for not letting me know that they were leaving? Because me? I tre

GAME SEVEN:In LoveAunt Ingrid greeted me with a crisp slap when she returned home from the mansion. She lifted a hand to me for the second time. My face turned to my left shoulder, and I could feel the burning sensation in the part of my face where her palm kissed.I touched my cheek, hoping to ease the pain."How dare you see that bastard guy again, Akemi? Did you know that his family is a traitor?" she screamed angrily.The tears that I was shedding had already pooled in my eyes. I don't know what Aunt Ingrid was talking about. But I saw the anger on her face when she rushed me into the living room."I don't know what you're talking about, Aunt Ingrid." I faced her with confusion on my face."You’re clueless?" Aunt Ingrid laughed; there was sarcasm in her voice. "What is the reason why they went abroad? Think of it, Akemi! You're as brilliant as your mother, so tell me, what's the reason why they left the country?"I blinked and shook my head. I really don't know the answer to her

GAME NINE:EnchantedAs the days passed, Ryu and my relationship became a secret. Apart from us, no one else knows, not even our close friends. Because of it, we also met secretly..As of today, I have received a text message from him about meeting us this afternoon.Ryu:I'm excited to see you, Mademoiselle. See you later! I love you.I was about to reply when suddenly someone knocked on the door. I quickly hid the cellphone inside the drawer of the nightstand.Aunt Ingrid doesn't know that I've been using a cellphone for a few years now. They don't even see my secret use of it. It's dangerous, especially because I don't know if I can use it even though I'm the right age. And even though I see that El Sandra also has her own cell phone and uses it freely, even in front of Aunt Ingrid.It was a sunny Saturday morning in the month of August. I've been awake for a while, but I haven't come out of the room yet. I took a shower and cleaned up a bit. I had no intention of leaving the mans
