WHEN HANA WOKE UP, SHE WAS DRESSING NOTHING but her earrings.
She looked to her right and saw Kaden sleeping peacefully, holding her in his arms, and a smile instantly appeared on her gorgeous lips.
Waking up in his arms was like her dream coming true.
But her dream was shattered when he sleeping-spoke seven words that hurt more than anything.
"Scarlet, I love you, don't leave me..."
She was so shocked and hurt that she got out of her bed in the same instant, running to her bathroom and locking herself there.
Hana couldn't even believe how many tears she still had left.
"What did you expect, you silly and naive girl? Did you, for a second, thought that he ever felt anything towards you? How foolish of you, Hana. There isn't a place for you in that bastard's heart, as well as now there's nothing you haven't given to him. How could you be so fucking dumb?"
She yelled to herself under the shower.
Her tears falling and mixing themselves with the water, going far away.
After a while, she got off of the shower and dressed up in a navy blue cropped with black legging, a white pair of socks, and her also white crocs.
When she got out of the closet and got back to her room, Kaden was still sleeping.
So she headed to the kitchen and made breakfast because she was starving, she also made two cups of black and strong coffee.
When she got back to her room with their breakfast, the coffees, and medicine to handle headaches, she found Kaden sitting on the bed with a sleeping face.
And with just a sentence he managed to shatter her heart once again, for the third time, this being the second in one single day.
"I'm sorry, but who are you and where are we? Did we have sex? And were you a virgin?"
The last part he said pointing to her bloody bed and her face turned red like her hair.
"Yes, we had sex. Yes, it was my first time. And you really don't recognize me, Kaden?"
"I'm sorry, but no. I would remember if I had ever seen you in my life."
'Bastard' was the only word that came to her mind.
"Don't talk bullshit, Kaden. It will only make everything worst. We've known each other since fucking kindergarten. I should have known better, of course, you don't give a shit. But well, it doesn't matter anymore, I'm finally getting out of here in one week. And I think we both agree that it's better if you get out of here now. The exit is easy to find once you get out of my room."
He was shocked, but this time she didn't give a shit, she was hurt to an extent that she couldn't even explain.
SHE TOOK HER CAR KEYS AND RUN AWAY FROM THERE, driving without a place to go, when she realized she was at the border of Seoul already.Hana got off of the car and sit on top of it.Crying her ass off once again, she tried to call her parents and her sister but neither of them answered her.She felt lonely than ever, only wishing for the next week to come faster than a blink of her eyes, so she could go to America and never come back.The week passed slowly like a hellish turtle and Hana stayed at home, packing her things, and more than anything, isolating herself and trying to forget her biggest mistake.When the big day arrived, she couldn't even be happy, she was better than before at least.She only wanted to forget Kaden and everything about him.Mira, her older sister, finally appeared to take her to the airport, she was going with her and was going to stay for five months, as their parents ordered.The particular plain w
WHEN SHE TOLD HANA THE RESULTS, SHE STARTED CRYING in desperation, knowing exactly who was the father and how did it happen.Their parents, Hyeon and Yun-Hee came right when they discovered, they were pissed but also happy, they tried to make Hana tell them who the father was, but she cried and said that he was dead for her and that she didn't want to talk about him ever again.At first, she didn't want the kid, but her parents and Mira convinced her to keep it, saying that no matter what the father did to Hana, the kid was innocent.Mori was also happy with the news and worried about his little sister, but he couldn't make it to Harvard, because he was full of work to do back in Seoul.After discovering about the whole situation, the director of the university told Hana to stay quiet at home, taking care of herself and of the baby, and assured her that when she's ready, she would still have her rightful place at the university because he couldn't let suc
HANA ASKED HER TO KEEP THIS A SECRET, ONCE HER PARENTS AND MORIwouldn't be able to notice it, and her sister promise that she would do it as she asked, but just if Hana told her when and how exactly that happened.So she did as her sister asked.Mira was mad at Kaden but Hana made her promise that she wouldn't do anything stupid because he wasn't even worthy of it.When Tae-Tae was two, Hana decided to hire a tutor for him, because he was incredibly intelligent for his age, and she saw his hunger for knowledge becoming bigger and bigger as time passed.And her fear became real when he started to ask about his father.Seeing her sister desperate with her son's question, Mira told Tae-Tae that his father was a bad guy, who hurt his mother's heart and was far away from them.To Hana's surprise, her three-year-old son understood and never asked about it again, something that even got Mira by surprise, but he took as a mission the task of f
WHEN HANA WENT HOME THAT DAY, AFTER CLOSING THE DEAL about her new film, which she wrote the script two months before that because her son asked her to make a story about herself, she found her sister desperate and crying on their couch, and her son hugging her."Sis? What happened? Why are you crying?"She left all her things on the ground after locking the door and knelt in front of her sister, who was still crying and looking at her with teary and lost eyes."Mira? What the hell happen? Please, talk to me!""Our parents and... Mori had an accident..."Mira spoke sobbing and Hana fell on the ground, with her hands shaking and feeling numb."How?"She managed to ask and Tae-Tae seeing his mom in that state, came to her and hugged her with all his love."It was a car accident, the other car was in the wrong, and it seems that he came out of the accident unharmed, he's not even in the hospital anymore. But our parents and our br
"WHAT'S MAKING YOU MORE DESPERATE? GOING BACK TO SEOUL and possibly seeing him again, or our family's situation?"Hana was shocked by her sister's question, and mad."Don't bullshit me, Mira. That's not the moment. What a fucking stupid question is that? Who do you think I am, to be more worried about seeing that scumbag again and not worried about our parents and brother in the hospital? Just shut up and call the pilot already."She couldn't believe her sister dare to ask her something like that, of course, she was worried about her family, they were all she had with her son, seeing Kaden was only collateral damage.Breathing deeply, she finally managed to call Ashlyn Evans her personal assistant, and not only told her everything she wanted but also asked if the girl would want to come with her, once she was fluent in Korean, and she agreed.Seeing that Mira was still on the phone with Taylor, she said:"Tell him to prepare the jet for four
"MOMMY, ARE WE GOING TO STAY IN MY GRANDPARENT'S VILLA?"Tae-Tae broke the silence, when they were already reaching the airport, thanks to Hana who was driving the faster she could."No baby, mommy has a house there, because I lived alone since I was fifteen. But mommy will buy us an apartment when this storm calms down a little. Because my house is not big, once it was just me. But there are two suites so it's good enough for now."He nodded, analyzing his mom's features."Will I study in the same school you attended, mommy?""Yes. Once mommy's school was also an advanced one, and if mommy passed, you certainly will too."Arriving at the airport, Ashlyn and Taylor went to meet them and help them with all the luggage, while Hana went to meet Robert the airport administrator, and thank him for helping with this emergency flight.She was thankful that her friendship with Robert wasn't strange after Tae-Tae tried to make them date; he wa
TAE-TAE AND ASHLYN SHARED A CONFUSED GAZE and then he spoke, "Mommy, how do you and aunt Mira have cars in the airport's parking lot?""You grandpa brought them last year for us and left them in the airport's parking lot. I don't know why he did it, but it's useful now."They nodded and Taylor came to them, after parking the jet next to Hana's parents' other private jets in a special area of the Internacional Airport of Seoul."You can go to the hospital, Miss Hana. We'll leave your baggage in your old house.""I was talking about that with Ashlyn now. Thank you, Taylor. Let's go, guys."She left the jet and so did Mira and Tae-Tae, entering Mira's car and heading to the hospital where her parents and brother were hospitalized; Hana, who was driving, went at the limit speed permitted in Seoul, and in five minutes they were in the hospital."You shouldn't be allowed to ride, sis. I'm dizzy as fuck now.""Language, Mira. My son's still
"BUT IT'S OKAY, IT'S NOT LIKE WE WERE FRIENDS OR ANYTHING, anyways. How did you recognize me?""My memory is amazing, and I was with her when you gave her a love letter.""Oh... but is she in the city just passing?""We're going to be around for a year, probably. Maybe more. We don't know yet, once we literally just came out of the airport.""I'm still shocked that she has a son now- how old is him?""Seven. But don't think he has a seven-year-old mind, that kid is a freakin' genius, way more than his mom.""Then... is she married?"Mira laughed and said straightforward:"Nope. Why? Are you interested?"Min-Jee gasped."No! I'm dating. It was just a shock, seeing her after all those years and with a son. He even looks a little like someone I know, but I must be crazy. I'm still shocked, she came in like a storm."Mira held her breath and nodded, giving Min-Jee her papers signed."Glad to see that you
