Payback Ch 30

My father was the CEO of a major corporation, and I was his illegitimate daughter—the one no one was supposed to know about. Growing up, I was the child nobody cared for. My father didn’t love me, and my mother wasn’t much better. From a young age, it was just me and my little brother looking out for each other. When I got into college, my father’s family decided to take my brother in. However, only a few days later, I received the news that my brother was dead.  I knew, deep down, that his death wasn’t just some accident. From that moment on, I worked even harder, determined to succeed. When I finally returned, I had a special gift prepared for my father’s family. This one’s for my brother!

2년 동안 부강현의 아내로 살았다. 그 시간 동안 소윤슬에게 ‘사랑’은 없었다. 가사도우미처럼 묵묵히 살아가던 어느 날, 강현의 첫사랑 한신아가 돌아왔고, 둘의 계약 같은 결혼은 허무하게 끝나버렸다. “부강현, 사랑이라는 콩깍지가 벗겨진 너를... 내가 왜 다시 돌아봐야 하지?” 강현은 아무런 망설임 없이 이혼 서류에 사인했다. ‘소윤슬은 절대 날 잊지 못할 거야.’ 그렇게 믿었다. 하지만 이번엔 달랐다. 윤슬은 정말로 돌아보지 않았다. 시간이 흐르며 하나둘 드러난 진실들. 상처 위에 덧씌워졌던 오해가 걷히고 나서야, 강현은 모든 잘못이 결국 자신에게 있었음을 깨달았다. 그러나 후회도, 사과도, 눈물도 더 이상 윤슬의 마음을 되돌릴 수 없었다. 그리고 어느 날, 윤슬이 SNS에 올린 한 마디. “진심으로 날 사랑해 줄 사람을 찾습니다.” 그제야 강현은 미칠 듯한 질투와 집착 속에서 진짜 사랑이 무엇인지 깨달았다. 하지만 이번엔, 그 사랑을 붙잡을 자격조차 그에게 남아있지 않았다.

After catching her boyfriend banging her coursemate, Luna ends up in a club with her friend, in a bid to forget it all. There, she meets this dashing guy who she jumps on without hesitation and requests for wild sex. It was supposed to be a one-night stand— one hell of a one-night stand that gave her shivers, but what she wasn't expecting was to meet him again. Not as the one who helped her brother secure a business deal and the one in whose house she would be spending the next thirty days. His name is Xander Storm— a dashing billionaire and one of the most eligible bachelors in Bayview. The shock goes both ways because the two of them relished the one-night stand and acknowledged that it felt more than one— but weren't expecting to see each other again. What will these thirty days be like? Will they pretend it never happened, or will they give in to the growing feelings that gnawed at their hearts? What will Xander's growing feelings for Luna mean for his revenge against the death of his parents, and for his enemies?

As I'm unable to get a ticket for my return trip after the Thanksgiving holiday, I specifically booked a first-class seat home. Just as I find my seat, I see an unruly child jumping around on it. I patiently smile and say, "Kid, this is my seat. Where is your seat?" He makes a face at me. "It's mine now, old hag!" I grab him by the collar of his shirt, wanting to lift him out of the seat. At that moment, a woman's piercing voice sounds behind me. "What are you doing? Let go of my son!" I release my grip and say as gently as possible, "Please control your child. This is my seat." Suddenly, she raises her voice. "He's just a child! Can't you, as an adult, give way to him? You're young and dressed decently. How can you have no compassion at all?" I'm so angered by this distorted reasoning that I laugh. "If you're so compassionate, why didn't you spend the money to buy your child a first-class seat?"
