Celestial Star

After coming back from their trip. Jack let Azalea rest early. He have some work to do, he wants to know the people behind the illegal mining activities on their land project development. And the people who tried to harm his wife.

"Corbin, I need the two hands of the beast and their executioner.... I want to crush a small nest in the east and make it an example for other to let them remember who are the Shin Family as of today". He will use the hand of steel that he was keeping for so long and he knows in this method this means blood.

"Yes sir!". Corbin didn't asked why nor hesitate to follow Jack's order. He already knows what happened to them on their trip and he too are furious because he wasn't there to protect them. But now it's retaliation day.

Corbin already organized the groups they needed and looked into the information about the Allegas Corp. and he found many interesting information that he needs to relay to his Boss after.

Jack went back to their room and watched how his wife is sleeping peacefully. "I won't let anyone to harm you again as long as I live". He said to her while touching her face gently. He swore his devotion to her.

Morning.

Azalea woke up because of a nonstop ring of her phone. She opens her eyes and saw Jack is still sleeping peacefully beside her. She quickly answered her phone afraid that it might wakes up her husband. As she looked at the caller ID she found out that it was her stupid brother who's calling.

"Where have you been?".

A frustrated voice greeted her in the morning.

"Good morning to you too, little brother!". She said mockingly to him. She peek on her sleeping husband while slowly standing up and walk away from their bed.

"How are you?". Carlton's voice became low and patient. A hint of worry is also present.

"I'm fine..... What's with you?...... Did you just call me to ask me that?". She was a bit confused and mad at him for waking her up so early in the morning just to asked for nothing important. She didn't noticed the worrisome presence from the other line.

"Of course not dimwit!....... I called to remind you about Dad's party. You haven't forget about it right?". He changed the topic that he wants to discuss with her earlier. This is not the right time for it.

Azalea was stunned. She totally forgot about her father's birthday and her gift is still laying on their living room unfinished.

"I did actually". She said honestly to him.

"What!...... That party will be held this coming Saturday and you forgot?..... That's good". Carlton's voice have a hint of dismay and anger. "Get your ass here, now!".

Azalea took away the phone off her ear. Her brother is shouting at her and she can tell he is furious but she can't just talk back at him, she is in the wrong this time.

"My love, what's wrong.... Who are you talking to?". Jack suddenly woke up when he felt his wife is not on the side of her bed anymore. He saw her standing and talking to someone on her phone.

Azalea put her palm to the phone's mouthpiece and talk to him. "It's my stupid brother and he is very mad at me. I forgot Dad's birthday". She told him honestly.

"I heard that". Carlton is guessing when a sudden silence came from the other line. He thought Jack was still there and talked to her sister that's why she suddenly stop talking.

"Heard what?... I didn't say anything". She chuckles she knows what Carlton meant.

"Give me that". Jack lend his hands asking for his wife to give her phone to him. "Hey man, when is Mr. Son's party going to happen". He asked him directly.

Carlton halted for a moment after hearing Jack's voice. "This Saturday". He said after regaining his composure.

"I'll send you my people to take care of things for you". He instantly offered his help to him because he knows he will bother his wife and asked her to come home.

"We are already preparing for this on our own you don't have to bother yourself Mr. Shin". Carlton is giving him an impression that he haven't recognized him as his brother in law yet.

"I don't care if you bother me or not as long as you don't bother my wife with things that can be done so easily without lifting any finger". He said directly with a hint of scorn. He doesn't care if he likes him or not as long as his wife loves him that all matters to him.

Carlton on his side became silent. The big sister he promised to protect is now being protected by another man and he is just not an ordinary man with high status on their circle but a very influential person. Although he wasn't convinced that he can handle her sister he have no choice but to let her because he knows she already falls for him. He have eyes from afar and he knows everything that is happening to Azalea.

"Well, if you're offering, who am I to refuse. We'll just consider it as a gift to your father in law". He rest his case and just give in to his proposal.

"Please do...... It settled then, I'll send them to you and you won't have to worry about anything". He hungs up and gave back his wife's phone. Then asked her to come back to bed.

The banquet of Charles Son spreads like a wild fire. They found out that it will be held to the Grand Shin Hotel and it means a lot of known people will be attending not because of the party but because of the personality who will be there. Everyone is anticipating that the Shin Family might attend as well because it's their territory and they do graced every event that held to their hotel.

Azalea discard the idea of making a portrait out of her rubix cubes. She can't really pictured him on her mind it was always Jack who occupies it. She asked the servants to remove it for a while. She will just going to design a piece of jewelry for man as a gift and she was thinking a type of celestial star in a simple wrist band to give to her father. She will make it very simple so that no one will noticed it's meaning.
