The Lim Family (1)

The Lim family was one of the most influential families in London. It consists of Mr. Richard Lim and his two children - Marcus Lim and Hazel Lim. The mother already passed away 20 years ago.

Mr. Richard Lim was originally from South Korea but he immigrated to UK when he was a young man. He started his business there and became very successful. The whole family holds British citizenship.

Hazel Lim drove down the streets of Belgravia in Central London. Her family lives in a lavish private residence, but she move out six months ago and live alone in a small apartment which is not much far from her family's residence.

The Lim family residence was a white stucco building just like most of the buildings in the area. It is a 19th century building which consists of three floors with many separate rooms, cinema hall, swimming pool, gym, spa, bar and a conference room present in it. There was also a small yet attractive garden in the back of the house. A medium sparkling fountain was also present in front of the house.

By the time Hazel reached her family's residence, it was already 11 a.m. When she entered the house, she was surprised to see her father and her older brother in the kitchen. They were busy preparing lunch for her. Their family maids are nowhere to be seen. As the duo were so busy with their dishes, they didn't even notice her arrival and Hazel ends up staring at them for a while without realizing it.

The warm feeling of being at home and witnessing the love of her father and brother made her chuckle. She can't stop herself from laughing and she burst out with laughter. The father and son hurriedly shifted their gaze to the kitchen door where the most awaited person of the day was standing with a smile on her face.

"What are you doing there?" Hazel chuckled and approached the two men. As she took a glimpse at the kitchen, she noticed that it was filled with ingredients of all her favorite foods.

"Good timing, Hazel! We're making Bulgogi (marinated beef barbecue) and spicy rice cakes; your favorites. It will be done in no time." Marcus Lim proudly explained and showed her all the foods that were in the middle of cooking.

Marcus Lim, the eldest child of Richard Lim and the heir of Haze Group, was 29 years old. He was handsome and intelligent. As a son, he was the best son ever. He respects his father and obeyed his every words. As a brother, he was caring yet overprotective of his little sister. But in a business world, he was like a different person.

He was coined as a genius and a ruthless man in the business world. Since he became the Vice Chairman of Haze Group, he leads the company to another level. It was all thanks to his enormous contributions that Haze Group has become one of the leading corporations in the world. He was also the leader of the infamous yet secretive and powerful gang organization, which only his family were aware of it.

Hazel looked at all the foods prepared by her father and brother. She was in awe! "Wow! Mark, Dad, did you really prepared all of this?"

"Yes. Take a seat, Hazel. As today is your last day here, Mark and I will make sure that you will have a hearty meal with us today." Mr. Lim said as he made his daughter sat on one of the chairs.

"You don't have to do this. I just want to spend some time with you two. Thank you so much!" Hazel exclaimed. "Then how about work?" She asked.

"Don't worry about that, Haze. Being absent for a single day is nothing. Besides you're more important than our work. My little sister will be going to a far away place tomorrow, so how can I go to work today? For today, I will stick to you like a glue!" Marcus answered without much thought as he was busy preparing the foods.

Hearing the words of her brother, Hazel was deeply immersed in her thoughts. How can someone love a person who is not even blood related, to this extent? Even her biological parents abandoned her in an orphanage, but she received so much love from these two persons who are not her even biologically related to her.

Sometimes the love and attention she received from these two men was so much that she even thought about forgetting her past and living her life happily with them. But no matter how many times she tried, she always failed. She cannot let go of her traumatic past.

When Hazel was pushed off of the cliff by her fiance, she fell into the water and Richard Lim was the one who found her. By that time, Mr. Lim was visiting Korea to settle some business in the Korea Branch of Haze Group. He took her to the hospital and she regained consciousness after two days. At the same time, his real daughter, Hazel Lim passed away due to car accident.

Miraculously, Mr. Lim saw his daughter in her, who was Annie Han by that time. He finally persuaded her to go to London with him. At that time, Annie Han no longer hope to live anymore. She thought that she lost all her purpose in life. She felt as if she was in a living hell. She really wanted to die. But she, too, didn't know why she accepted Mr. Lim's suggestion.

After moving to London, she received plastic surgery and changed her face to the face of the real Hazel Lim. Mr. Lim and Marcus Lim planned everything perfectly to make sure that no one will be aware of the true situation. They made sure that all the hospital staffs who knew about Annie kept their mouth shut. It was not a difficult task for them as Annie and Hazel were both treated in the hospital owned by their family.

They claimed that Hazel had lost most of her memories due to the accident, so it won't be a miracle even if she didn't remember her past.

And just like that, Annie Han, an ordinary orphan had become Hazel Lim, the daughter of Haze Group...
