Chapter 38

Mina's POV

CJ grabbed my wrist and we both find our way outside the house, I angrily jerk my hand away from his grip and shove him away.

"CJ what the fuck is wrong with you?? I yelled "Why will you allow your selfish runaway sister who doesn't even care a little bit about your happiness control you?? Huh??

"Mina....

"No, don't say anything.. Just answer me, will you leave me and marry Kayla?? I asked and he looked away

Unbelievable!!! So CJ is actually planning to obey Suzy and marry Kayla

"Mina, Chu Jung is my sister and I.. I..

"You have no choice than to obey her?? I whispered feeling hurt

I had such great pain in my eyes, I could feel it yet I forced a smile.

"CJ, look into my eyes and tell me you will marry Kayla " I said and he looked at me but he couldn't say a word making me know that he is being forced against his will

"CJ I won't allow anyone to force you to do what you don't wanna do, I know you love only me and I will make sure I fix this " I said

"Fix what?? Someone said and we both turned to see Suzy at the entrance

She started laughing hysterically making me clench my fist in anger

"The only thing you're allow to fix is the time of the wedding between my brother and Kayla " Suzy said and I angrily walked up to her

"Let's see how the wedding is going to work " I said while glaring at her suddenly my phone started ringing, I checked the caller.. Mom??

I stared at Suzy and answered the call

"Hello mom"

"Mina can you come to Gwanju now, it is urgent pls " She said and I was getting scared

"Mom what's wrong?? I asked but she hanged up

I started panting hard and I quickly went to CJ.

"CJ, my mom just called, she asked me to come because it is urgent.. We need to go now plss" I said and he grabbed my hand

"Let's go"

"CJ, where do you think you're going?? Don't you wanna find out who's behind all the ruckus in our family and where I have been the whole time "? Suzy said and CJ stopped

"C'mon CJ, pls don't do this.. You have to follow me " I said but CJ didn't move an inch

Why is he acting so dumb?? It is soo annoying

"You're Unbelievable CJ " I said as I released his hand and dashed away

Eric's POV

Eve was sitting in front of me and everywhere was silent making me feel uncomfortable

"Evelyn, you.. Uhm... " I tried to say something but I don't know the exact words to say

"You don't have to force a conversation with me, I think I need to take my leave.. Thank you " She said as she stood up and was about to go then she looked at me

"You love Mina?? She asked and I was baffled by her question "it hurt when you love someone but the person did not love you back.. What an unrequited love " She said and I arched my brow not understanding what she meant

"I hate you " She said and with that she walked away

This girl is really weird

I sighed as I think about Mina, I shut my eyes and opened it, she's right, it really do hurt.

CJ's POV

When I got inside, I met Chu Jung sitting down on the couch talking about the weddings and everyone was paying attention.

What is wrong with them??

Chu Jung just appear from nowhere and they don't even care to ask her what really happen, what she has been passing through, what she is up to??

I am definitely sure she's up to something, this is not the chu Jung I know.

I recalled when she said she was responsible for Mina's kidnap

Why did she want me to leave Mina and marry kayla?? I thought looking confused about the whole scenario in front of me but suddenly something strike my mind

"Oh damn..!" I cursed little louder that everyone looked at him

shocked that suddenly what happened to him.

"I can't marry kayla" I said

I wasn't in state to think about anything else than Mina,flashes of the moments i had spent with her along with ber face starts roaming in front of my eyes and I starts feeling suffocated.

Everything, what is happening is wrong.

I just can't do this. I just can't betray her... I just can't betray my heart, which beats for her only... which belongs to her. I just can't even think about any other girl than her.

Only the mere thought of betraying her was making my heartbeat sinking.

"NO... I can't do this." I shouted this time making everyone more shocked and i was panting heavily as if I had run marathon.

Everyone looked at me shocked as if I have grown two heads.

"CJ..." I heard someone shouted my name and shook him which made me came back to my senses

It was Chu Jung, she looked at me with the expression mix with shock,anger and confusion.

"I'm talking to you... Where are you lost?and stop cursing. It's a bad manners... And you know that?" She scolded me with stern voice making me recall when she do shout at me for doing something wrong but this time I am sure I am doing the right thing

"Listen, I've to go." I whispered impatiently

"What..? Have you gone mad, CJ?

"Mom, try to understand that I'm not ready for this marriage...please don't force me." I said irritated more with the

thing that my mom is forcing me for marriage when this is the biggest decision of my life

"Listen CJ, you will be getting married to Kayla and that's final " Chu Jung said as she held my hand to make me sit on couch

but this made me angry and I went out of control.

"Stop it.. , just stop it..." I shouted as I jerked away my hand from her grip, making everyone shocked with my sudden outburst

"I love only Mina, I love her so much. She is the

only girl I want in my life as my life partner and no one... and I mean it, no one can take her place neither in my heart

nor in my life... "I said whatever was in my heart. I just wanted to clear to everyone about my decision.I didn't know what I had done is right or wrong but I knew one thing; if I didn't do that then I won't be able to breathe.

"Wow.. So you finally choose Mina over your own sister?? Chu Jung asked

"I am sorry but you're not my sister because the sister I know will never do anything to hurt his brother and moreover you're the one that chose whatever is bothering you over your brother... I am still finding it too hard to believe if you're indeed my sister or not because you've changed a lot " I said and I swallowed my spit hard while I turned to the direction where my mom, step mom and dad was standing

"It shows you didn't care if chu Jung is alive or not because all you care is forcing me into a marriage even after seeing the greatest shock of your life that Chu jung which we thought was dead has been alive all this while?? How did she survive the fire outbreak?? If she wasn't the person we buried then who do we buried?? Why did she came back into the house wearing mask and pretended to be a maid?? Huh?? Can't you guys ask her that?? I am not your only child so focus on her too " I said and turned to Kayla

'You should give up because I will never marry you " I said and with that I walked away feeling relaxed for pouring my feelings out.

I need to go to Gwanju now

When I got to Gwanju, I was beyond surprised to see my mom in a perfect and happy mood, she hugged me tightly and ask me to come inside the restaurant.

Everything seems okay so why did she call me urgently

There was no one in the restaurant except a guy who was playing game with Mimi, I didn't see the guy face because he was backing me

Mimi looked up and when she saw me, she smiled and ran towards me and I gave her a hug.

She started pulling me towards the stranger and that is I got to see the stranger

He's a handsome guy with a toned figure, messy dark drown hair and vivid blue eyes

So what is going on here??

Author's POV

"Mom, I m not going to do this..." Mina shouted in anger.

"You have to because you don't have any other option and for your kind information, I’m not asking you… I’m telling you to do this." Mina's mom said in no-nonsense tone.

"I can't believe you call me because of this and what makes you think I will be getting married to him? She asked annoyed.

"Because this is the right time and He is a right person for you." Her Mom said while folding his arms across her chest.

"And how are you so sure, that HE IS A RIGHT PERSON FOR ME." Mina asked sarcastically while folding her arms across her chest, just mimicking her dad.

They are forcing marriage with the person she is in love with and now her mom is trying to do the same

"Because I know him personally and more over, I am your mom .. And I very well know what is right for you." Her mother retorted back in anger, ending their conversation...

"But mom..."

"No more arguments Mina." She said in stern tone.

"Urghh..." she groaned in frustration and then took deep breath in to calm herself because she knows her mother is not going to back out if she decides something.

"Ok fine... I’m ready..." she said after thinking for some time making her mom little relieved, but before that she could become happy on her victory, she continued,

"...But..."

"But...?" She asked confused furrowing her eyebrows.

"I have a condition." She said with slight smirk while looking at the direction where the guy was sitting some meters away from her

"And...what is that?" She asked with doubtful tone,

because she very well knows Mina. Something is really cooking in her mind.

"Well... Before taking any decision regarding this, I would like to see him… Alone." She said while emphasizing word ‘alone’ with seriousness in her tone.

Her mother got shocked hearing her condition, she was sure by

now that something is seriously in Mina little brain. She is up to something and she can't let that happen.

"No... you are not going to see him alone." Her mom denied.

"But mom... How could you do this to me... I mean, this is about my whole life and I have every right to take decisions of my life." she argued back seeing her plan going to be flop.

"Mom, the only person I am in love with is CJ and....

"That is the reason I am getting married " Her mother said and Mina was shocked

"Huh?? You're getting me marry because I am in love with someone else... I don't understand "

"I heard CJ is getting married to Kayla so pls let him get marry to her.. Okay??

"Mom, where is all this coming from??

"End of discussion so let's go and meet your future husband to be " Her mother said

"Future husband to be?? Mina said with a smirk as she looked at the guy "let's see how this is going to last "She said to herself as an idea of getting rid of the guy struck her mind
