VII. Lost Love

Won's POV

" Yeisha?! " I blurted out, shock was written on my face. It's been too long since the last time that I've seen her.

" I'm sorry but I don't know you. " she said clearly, audible enough for the people who are with her. I was speechless. So, I took a look at those two observing. They seem formal and close but the man seems familiar to me but I can't remember where. And him either seems not to recognize me. Maybe in some business matter that I attended and besides they look like a family.

I didn't notice that the baby is crying. I just keep changing a glance at Yeisha and them.

" Mama....I..I.. I'm sorry. " the kid wails to her mom.

The woman next to the man hush her and say " It's ok sweetheart, it's ok, everything is will be fine." After the woman said that, Yeisha then turns to look at me, a scowl of disappointment is on her face. Then they walked away. I want to ran after her, after them but my bestfriend called me. I hiss in frustration but still, I walk towards them.

" Hey man, what's keeping you so long? " he asks tapping my shoulder when I seated. " Nothing man, just a long queue." I told him.

We continued our meeting. Peter and I are planning to build a business together that's why we have this lunch meeting with our possible investor. After an hour and a half, we call it a day. My bestfriend and I continued our way to his office at Zhera Condo. He owns that apartment building with two penthouse. And he sold me the other one. Basically, we're neighbours.

My thoughts are still with the woman who just ran away. Yeisha, she was...she was my everything. I didn't forget her even a second. It's been what, three years? Four years? It's been a while but she has still a part of me that I can't ever give to someone else.

My thoughts were being interrupted by Peter. " We're here, man. " he said. " Thanks man. " I replied getting out of the car. We planned not to bring my car since I'll be staying at my penthouse in his building for a while.

We walk to the door and the guards salute us in which we answered them with a nod.

We directly went to his office, or his penthouse rather. He offered me a glass of scotch which I gladly accepted. " Hey bro " I called and he turns to me " When are Zhea and Krafer coming man? " I ask.

" A month I guess. "

" That's quite long. " I commented.

" Nah, I'll be fine if that's what you mean, man. " he chuckled. " But something is off with you since earlier. What is it Jin? " he added.

" Earlier? What do you mean by off Pete? " I questioned back. Before he can say anything, I beat him to it. " Yo, Pete. I gotta go. " I stated. He laughed shaking his head.

" Paperworks? " he guess.

" Fucking yeah." he laughed when I let go of those words. I grinned and make my way to my room.

When I got inside, I quickly change into a black sweat pants.Then I went to the bar area and pour myself another glass of scotch. I sat on my couch and think about what happened earlier.

I got up and decided to go to my office and do my research. I want to know everything that happened to her in these past few years.

I tried searching for her name, but there's a lot of names similar to her that I found. I click them one by one but there's nothing a name about her in it.

I give up and decided to call my best investigator to do the work. I pick my phone and dialed a number. The owner answered it immediately.

" Hello, boss "

" I want you to look for someone. It's very important and I want you to gather everything about her even the tiniest information you'll find. I want everything. The name is Myeisha Ly."

" Got it, boss. "

" Good. And I want an answer soon."

I sighed when I put down my cellphone. I just want her back. That's all I want.

Peter knows about my past but I never tell him a name. He always asks who but I won't give in. After everything that happened today my body felt so tired. I lean on my swivel chair to rest and tried closing my eyes but my head is damn aching.

I massage my temple when my office telephone rang. I just answer it and didn't bother to check the caller.

" Won speaking. " I started.

" Don't won won me speaking son! " I distance the phone from my ears. Shit! I cursed in my head.

" Hey, Mom. "

" Son....when are you gonna visit me, huh? " she nags.

" Mom, promise. I will visit you soon, ok? It's just I'm too busy these days. " I tried to reason out.

" I will not accept any excuses Tae Jin Won. "

" Fine, fine. I will go home after I finished here, ok Mom? " I assured her.

" You better come home or else I'll go there to pick you up. You choose, you little rascal. " Damn Mom, such a fire cracker.

" I got it Mom. See you. " After I said those words Mom hung up without notice. Guess she's mad now. I chuckled.

I finished everything in a hurry then pack some important things to bring.

When I'm done. I went directly to the lift then to my own garage. I choose my Jeep because it's very comfortable. After a few minutes I'm out on the road. Then I sent Peter a message that I'm gonna stay in my parents house maybe for a week. He can follow me though.

Hour passed and I'm almost there just ten minutes more. I drive safely towards our house. The guards are already there waiting for me. I entered the gate then wave back at the guards.

I drove past the pine trees and then halt in front of the house. I stop the engine and got off the car.

Mom is already at the door smiling wide like a chesire cat.

" Welcome home, son. " She greeted while hugging me.

" Good to be home, Mom."
