45 Manipulation (1/2)

MEANWHILE AT THE MOON ESTATE

The sound of shattering gla.s.s echoed through the halls, followed by screeches.

The maids and butlers standing in the room lowered their heads as they shook in fear. The young miss was going around breaking every precious artifact in her bedroom. She was looking for a way to relieve her anger and they didn't want to be the victim. The young miss had terrorized and hurt many of the workers and in extreme cases, to the point of st.i.tches. Although they were used to her tantrums, they were never on this scale.

Jaeun Moon stared in the mirror. On her face, valley's of red b.u.mps tainted her precious snow skin, turning her into a rough, monstrous mess. Her fingers lightly grazed against these b.u.mps, only for her to feel a sharp pain increasing from each touch.

Another shriek escaped her chords, piercing like a high-pitched violin.

Yoona was going to die.

Her precious skin. The beauty in her face. Had instantly disappeared in the matter of minutes. Although the hives would go away in a week, there was no doubt that there would be scars left on her skin. In a worse case scenario, it would be irreparable.

She grit her teeth before turning around. The pink, silky robe around her body violently trashed from the movement, like raging waves in a storm.

Jaeun was going to kill Yoona. She had to kill Yoona. That girl was the reason for the darkness in her heart; the one that created the mess on her face. While Jaeun was thrown into the darkness, in the end, Yoona was the one that stood up to the heavens.

She grabbed some jewelry and threw it on the floor. The precious pearls bounced up and rolled around, slipping into the crooks of the furniture. Then, she proceeded to throw herself onto her bed, sinking into the cus.h.i.+on.

But there was a single problem. A sudden obstacle that crossed her path.

Chae Minhyun.

Who would've thought the two were childhood friends. It was absolutely absurd to think about.

The most perfect man - a being no ordinary girl could obtain was protecting the very girl she hated. She should be the one in his arms for her beautiful looks and status, yet he picked an average citizen. How cruel was fate? Why would he lower himself for a mere girl?

Everything was ruined. She wasn't dumb. Attacking Yoona more would lead Minhyun to hate her; from a romantic and business perspective, it was the worst move she could take. He was a powerful man. MH unrivaled by any other business in Korea. Even the Moon group could not compare. She couldn't take the risk.

This is why she was so frustrated to the point of wanting to tear her hair out. How was she supposed to get her rightful revenge and ruin Yoona's life if there was a s.h.i.+eld in her way?

”Are you done?”

Recognizing that voice from anywhere, Jaeun turned around to face her brother Jaemin. He was lazily standing against the door frame with his hands in his pockets.

He proceeded to tell the workers to exit the room, saying that he needed to talk privately with his sister. Once they exited, he turned his attention back to her.

Jaeun grit her teeth. ”What do you want?”

Jaemin smirked before making his way to his distraught sister. He stood over the bed, letting his shadow cast over her. There was a smile on his face, his eyes shaped like crescent moons.

”You're face looks disgusting. What happened?”

She didn't respond. Instead, she just glared at him.

He chuckled, before grabbing the wooden bed frame with his fingers. He leaned in further. ”You failed didn't you?”

She bit her nails. A wave of fury entered her heart and she suddenly lifted her upper body from the bed. She turned her face towards her brother and sent him a glare. ”Yeah she f.u.c.king got me okay! Yoona caused this horrendous s.h.i.+t to happen on my face! I lost! So f.u.c.king what?!?”

Jaemin stayed calm, not affected by the raging witch in front of him. He knew better than to act in such an crazy manner. Behind the walls were ears that could hear the large shouting. He couldn't let himself look like a fool, he was supposed to be a prince. Besides, his sister played the pitiful role perfectly.

”Then pay her the pain back ten fold,” he replied. Wasn't it obvious?

Jaeun scoffed. As if she didn't think of that. If it weren't for Chae Minhyun, she totally would've gotten her revenge.
