Ariel stepped out of the private jet with a heavy heart. She had hoped that the change of location would change things between her and President Kim, but it seemed like that was just wishful thinking. This man still looks at her like she was some piece of worthless trash and if she was being honest with herself, five years seems very far away. As she stepped onto the tarmac, President Kim's cold voice shattered her thoughts.

"Just so we're clear, Ariel. If you're expecting me to be all sweet and warm with you because we're in the city of love, you should get your head out of the gutter. I have never hidden the fact that this marriage is nothing I want and you would never be the type of woman I would ever love. I just want to shatter whatever hope you have of this trip changing anything between us. You do not exist to me as long as we are here and I want you to reciprocate the same favor." He said, glaring at her.
