Kimkim was admitted in a room. Seokmi stood close to her worried. The doctor c@m£ in with a file.
“Mr. Kim.” He called.
SEOK mi stood up, “how is she?”
The doctor sighed, “she’s been stressed a lot and will nee-d a lot of rest. She will be fine after that rest, but you should make sure she don’t stress herself again cause this will happen again. We have given her some drugs and she will be asleep for 24 hours.”
“Ok doctor.”
The doctor checked on her blood pressure before he left.
Seokmi sat down beside her, he placed her hand in his. “Sweetheart, I know you are going throu-gh a lot. I know i have hurt you, I know I gave you pain. plea-se dear, I don’t deserve your forgiveness, am a worthless father who don’t know how to take care of his daughter. Am so filthy and greedy. I did all those things for money. I killed people for money. Have hurt you in the de-epest way………..”
The door opened, Jessica, Rose and Lisa c@m£ in.
“Father.” Jessica called and walked towards him. “What happened to her? What happened to Kim? Is it grandma? This time am gonna give her a piece of my mind, she have gone too far.”
“No, this has nothing to do with your grandmother. Its all my fault. She’s stressed because of me. Am a stupid father.”
“Father what do you mean?” Rose asked.
Seokmi stood up, “you three should take good care of your sister. I will be looking after my father.”
“But dad you should stay here with her.”
“No, you three should. I can’t stay here. I can’t face her. Take good care of your sister.” Seokmi said and left.
“What happened?” Lisa asked.
“Kimkim is dad favorite but he don’t want to stay here with her.” Rose said.
“Maybe he is feeling guilty for her been in the hospital that is why he said he can’t face her.” Lisa said.
“I agree with you and I definitely know that grandma is the cause of all this . She hate kimkim and can do anything to make her leave this earth.” Rose said.
Jessica sighed, she know that there is more to it. Father looks so down like he was sick. Something must have happened between kimkim and her father and that she will ask kimkim when she wakes up.
Kimkim pov
I slowly opened my eyes but closed it again dew to the light which reflected into my eyes. This place smells like hospital, where am I?
I opened my eyes and I was right, am in the hospital. But how did I get here and what am I doing here?
“Kimkim you are awake.” Rose said.
“Unnie?” I called weakly.
“How are you feeling now?” Lisa asked.
“Weak. What am I doing here?” I asked.
“Well the doctor said that you pas-sed out dew to stress. You have been stressing your self a lot this days, care to tell me why?” Rose asked.
Then everything that happened c@m£ rushing in.
“Where is father?” I asked trying to sit up.
“He is with grandfather.”
“I nee-d to meet him, I nee-d to st©p him.” I said putting my legs down trying to stand up.
“Why are you in a hurry and why do you want to st©p him?” Lisa asked.
I stood up but fell back due to weakness.
“Be careful. You will meet dad later, you just recovered .” Jessica said joining us. She was holding a bag
“I brou-ght food.” She said dropping it.
Rose helped me to lie down.
“Not only have I brou-ght food for you but also someone you will love to see.” She said to me.
The door opened revea-ling the person I least expected.
“Tanya.” I called. But then I remembered his name, “Tyson.” I said.
He rushes to me, “kimkim what happened to you? Why are you here? Are you okay?” He asked checking me out . “Do you feel pains anywhere?” He asked worried.
“Am fine tyson . I just fainted that is all.” I replied.
He looked at me and we but hvgged the both of us filled with emotions. I least expected him to be here but here he is. I was so happy to see him again.
“You left with out telling me.” He said.
“Sorry. I was in a hurry to leave. But how where you able to locate me?”
“Your sisters helped. So what really happened to you?” He asked.
My fave was then coveted with sadness I can’t hide.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just fell dizzy and don’t know what happened again.”
“The doctor said it was stress, so what have you been doing?” Rose asked.
“Nothing. I have been worried about grandpa and in that process, I stressed myself.” I replied.
“But you should get better soon cause dad blamed himself, he said he can’t face you. He is worried.” Lisa said.
Father, I will talk to Him later. I will st©p him no matter what. He said until grandfather wakes up before he kills tyson family, then I will have to st©p him.
Tyson smiled at me and I smiled back at him.
Jessica pov
Kimkim cant deceive me, I know something is wrong. Something is wrong between her and father. She said she want to meet him to st©p him. And dad said he can’t face her.
This is complicated.
I stood up, “excuse me for a minute.” I said and left.
I went over to grandpa’s room. Dad was sitting beside him.
“Dad.” I called.
He turned and looked at me, “Jessica.”
I sat down close to him, “how are you?” I asked. He really look down.
“Fine and not fine. Don’t really know where I belong.”
“You are worried about grandfather, don’t worry he will soon wake up.”
He sighed, “I hope so. So what about my grand daughter youngmi?”
“She is with her father relative.”
“Ok.”
“Father?”
“Hmmmm?”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Yea go ahead.”
“What happened between you and kimkim?”
He looked at me, “why do you ask?”
“Well the both of you have been behaving odd.”
“Is she awake?”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
“Aren’t you going to visit her?”
“No. She has you, Lisa and Rose.”
“Yes, we are her sisters, but what about her father? What is wrong with the both of you?”
“Nothing, I can as-sure you that. Just that am a bit angry with her. You know, grandmother.” He replied.
“Then i was right, it has something to do with grandma.”
“St©p been angry with her. You should visit her.”
“I will.”
“Better.”
“So who is that young man that went in with you?” He asked.
“So you saw him. Well only kimkim has an answer for that. So if You nee-d an answer, dial my line.” I said and left even though he was calling me back.
Tanya pov
Hours later.
Kimkim left us only and went home .
Kimkim looks worried. Something happen but she is telling nones of us.
Well now am not asking her about it intead am gonna try to make her smile.
“Kimkim.” I called.
“Hmmmm? What?”
“Do you remember when we do fight at school?”
“Yes I clearly remembered.”
“Who would have thought the both of us will fall in love You with each other.”
“Yes always on each other n£¢k.” She said smiling.
wow that is more like it.
We talked about other things before she sle-pt up. Atleast she was smiling.
Kimkim pov
The next day.
I was discharged alre-ady and was preparing to go back home.
Dad did not visit me even for a second and I felt bad about it. Tyson and my sisters have been with me not leaving my side.
After getting dressed, I excused myself.
I should say hi to grandfather.
I went over to his ward. He was still lying unconcious. Dad is not with him.
I sat down close to him, “hi grandfather. How are you feeling? Sorry I haven’t been able to say hi to u. I was a bit sick but don’t worry, am better now. I will be coming everyday to visit you.” I st©pped when I heard the door opened.
“Kimkim.” Dad called from behind me.
I stood up and face him, “wow, the best father of the year. Your daughter Is not important to you at all. Even though we fought you did not come to check up on me. You weren’t concern about me. The best father of the century.” I said sarcastically.
“Am so sorry kimkim but I had to look after father. No one is here with him, your grandma is still at home and wouldn’t come. Am so sorry.” He said and walked pas-s me to sit down close to grandfather. “Who is that guy with you?”
“Someone that cares and none of your business.” I said.
He sighed.
“Father. Don’t think am gonna allow you do anything don’t think am gonna allow you succeed in your plans. Am going to do all it takes to st©p you. You won’t be able to succeed.”
He stood up and c@m£ close to me, “kimkim, do not get involved.” He said and left.
Sorry father, but I have to get involved .
Seokmi pov
Kimkim should not get involve cause the person in this game is dangerous. James carter is a very dangerous man. He will hurt kimkim if she spoils his plan. I must do all I can to take kimkim out of here and out of this problem soon, but what will I do?
Am so confuse right now.
Father should wake up and give me his advice cause I really nee-d it.
I love my daughters and wouldn’t want them to get involve In any crime I commit. Especially Kimkim.
No POV
After kimkim confronted her father, she went back home.
“Kimkim.” Grandma called.
Kimkim ran to her.
“How are you feeling? I was told what happened not long ago, your sisters kept it away from me. Am so sorry for not visiting.”
“You don’t have to be grandma. Am better now.”
“Are you’d sure? Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere?”
“No grandma, you don’t have to worry. Am fine.”
She heaved a sigh of relieve.
“But grandma, why haven’t you visited grandfather yet?” I asked.
“I don’t have the mind to do so. I am still confused, have you ask your father about it? What did he say? Did he say its a lie?” She asked. She then noticed tyson behind me. “who is he?” She asked looking at him.
“Good day ma’am.”
“Well grandma, he is my b©yfri£nd.”
“What?”
“We will talk about it later.” I said and dragged tyson to the living room.
“Kimkim I feel you are having a ha-rd time. You can speak to me and I promise you, am a good listener and a good adviser.” He said.
“Am fine. Just worried about my grandfather.”
“Don’t worry he will be alright. Mind if I take you somewhere this evening?”
Take me out? Where?
“You wanna take me out?.” I replied smiling.
But where is he taking me too this evening, he don’t know places yet in Daegu.

Jeff took the parcel to his casino and opened it.
It was the picture of Maya’s husband which was colour with blood.
“What is the boss up to?” Jeff asked.
He smiled, “its time for me to change the story and make it more interesting. Its been boring all this while, I should make it more interesting.” He said.
He brou-ght out a picture from his drawer and put it inside the envelope.
“Time to make it more interesting. Working for tanya and the boss is great cause I will earn a lot. But now I have to betray the both of them. And work for Maya now. Three people at the same time. Money, money, money.” He said laughing.

“Tyson what are we doing here?”
“Hike.”
“What? You mean we will climb this mountain?”
“Yes, are you scared?”
Kimkik smiled, “not still but why?”
“Kimkim, you will know when we get there.” He said.
They both climb up the mountain together holding their hands.
They got to the t©p of the mountain and tyson sat down. “Sit .” He said tapping a space for her.
She sat down and was amaze with the view.
“Woah!!! This is so beautiful.” She said looking at the houses.
“Yes so beautiful.”
“But how where you able to know the route up here?”
“I researched.”
“Really?”
“Yup.”
I smiled and placed my head on his shoulder. The air here make me feel calm. I am really happy that he is here with me.
Maya pov
I sat on my be-d re-adings novel when a maid c@m£ in.
She bowed, “ma’am there is a delivery for you.”
“Drop it.” She dropped it, bowed and left.
I was still focused on my book not minding what was delivered to me hut something caught my attention. A little stain of blood.
I dropped my book and carried the envelope.
I opened it and brou-ght out what was in it. Seeing blood, I jumped out of my be-d.
I pick up the pictures and was shocked, it was the picture of my husband but it was soa-ked in blood. The next picture was that of the whole family and it was soa-ked in blood then the last shocked me more, my ex lover, Kim seokmi picture and the last picture of the scene of how my husband died and the face of the killer is…..

“Mother.” I called and ran outside.
This can’t be.
Episode thirty two
(My first man)
Maya pov
I was about knocking on mother’s door but st©pped.
I can’t tell her, I should think about something.
I left and went back to my room.
I carried the picture again. I checked the envelope and saw a piece of paper. When I brou-ght it out, I discovered that it contained a number. A phone number.
I quic-kly picked up my phone and called the number.
A man picked.
‘Hello.” I said wiping my tears.
“Mrs. Maya Lee.” He said.
How does he know I am the one?
“I have been expecting your call.” He said as if he re-ad my mind.
“Listen, let’s just go straight to the point.” I said.
“Wow I like that. Then let’s go straight to that point.” He said.
“What do you know about my husband death and how did you get this pictures?” I asked.
“Madam Lee, those pictures are just a little clue.” He said.
I bur-sted out crying , “seokmi killed my husband. Where is he? How do I find him?” I asked crying. I can’t believe this.
I heard him sigh, “madam don’t think he is the only one in this game. He is not alone.”
“Not alone? Who is with him? Who helped Him? Tell me I want to know.”
“Then $1000000 will do.”
“One million?”
“Yes on million USD. Payment before information.” He said.
“OK fine I will give you the money. Just tell me.”
“Let’s meet at the new grand palace with my money then the information is all yours.” He said.
“Ok, I will bring it yo you.”
“Five pm.” He said and disconnected the call.
Seokmi betrayed me, I am going to destroy him.

Jeff smiled dropping his phone.
“Now the show is about to start and this time its going to be a good show.” He said smiling.
Kimkim pov
The cotton was dragged open allowing the sun to hit my face.
“Common dad, close that cotton. I still want to sleep.” I said still with my eyes closed and half asleep.
“If you miss dad this much then you can visit him at the hospital.” A female voice said.
I opened my yes and realized that it was Rose tht c@m£ to wake me up.
I sighed remembering the past events.
I really miss dad.
I sat up on the be-d. “Did dad c@m£ back home?” I asked.
“No. That man is so connected to his father not leaving him for even a minute.” Rose said.
Is not what she thinks, if grandfather wakes up father will execute his plan.
I nee-d to think of a way to st©p dad , I won’t bear it if anything happen to Tyson.
“Unnie where is Tyson?”
“He is in the guest room.”
I quic-kly got up from the be-d and went to pick a cloth from my closet.
“Going somewhere?” She asked.
“Yes.” I replied and went to the bathroom.
I quic-kly took my bath, and wore my cloth.
Rose wasn’t in my room when I c@m£ back in.
I hope I get an idea on how to st©p father.
I left after telling grandmother where I was going to.
I took a taxi to the hospital.
God help me.
I went over to grandfather room. I can’t enter cause of father, so I just stood by the door and peep in to see how grandfather is doing. He was still unconscious. Father was slee-ping close to him.
“Excuse me.” I heard someone said behind me. I turned and there stood a doctor. “May I ask what you doing?”
“Well his my grandfather. Just c@m£ to see how he is doing.”
“But you can go in you know.”
“Well I can’t and its personal.” I said.
“Ok.” He said and was about leaving when i called him back. “Yes how may I help you?”
“plea-se may I know how the patient is?”
“Well he is improving and I can as-sure you that in no time he will be better.” He replied.
“Like in some days or month?”
“I can’t really say but soon enough.” He replied.
“Doctor do you mind if I talk to you in your office?” I asked.
“Yes sure.” He replied and we both went to his office.
“Have a seat.” He said and I sat down.
“Thank you.”
“So how can I help you m?”
“Well doctor I have a request to make.”
“What request?”
I sighed, this will be ha-rd , “can you……… Possibly…….. Del@ymy grandfather’s treatment?”
“Excuse me?”
“I know thrus sound crazy and foolish. But plea-se this Is about my family and the lives involved in this. You have to do this.”
“Sorry but I won’t do it. This is against the hospital law and I can be arrested for this.”
“plea-se I beg you doctor. This is about many life. If he wakes up now, then things will not be alright. His life is in danger, if he wakes up then he might die and I can’t let that happen.”
“Then you should report this to the police.” He said.
“If I do, then thurs will not go well. plea-se help me. Del@yhis treatment let him not wake up now.” I said now crying.
“Young lady, I can’t help you.”
“plea-se you have to. You have to help me plea-se.” I begged.
Maya pov
I quic-kly called to bring the money over to me. Then I went over to the grand palace h0tel where I will meet the man.
I called him and he told me where he was. I went over to him after sighting him.
He was wearing a nose mask with a cap ma-king it ha-rd for me to see his face.
“Madam Maya Lee.” He called when he saw me.
I sat down at the opposite chair.
“Welcome madam. What will you like to take?” He asked.
“I don’t nee-d anything I just want to hear the whole truth.”
“Take it slowly madam. You should take something.” He said and called a waiter.
“I will like to order a bottle of wine 10 years old.” He said. He looked at me, “your order plea-se.”
“Just give me water.”
The waiter left.
“So tell me everything I nee-d to know.”
“Ok lady but the money first.”
I sighed and gave the bag to him. “Now tell me.”
“Ok. Well like you know, the picture I s£nt to you alre-ady showed you who killed your husband and son. And the person who did it was seokmi, your ex lover………” He told me everything that happened and who was involved and its no other than Mr. Carter, a formal business p@rtner and a friend to my husband. What did we ever do to this people? Why did they destroyed my life?
I couldn’t st©p the tears from falling from my eyes.
This is so heart breaking. But finally i now know who the killer is and I will make that killer pay.
“Do you want to hear something more interesting?”
I looked at him.
“Your son’s girlfriend, kimkim. She is seokmi daughter.” He said.
What? The killer daughter? No not my son, she can’t take my son away, her and her father can’t do what they did before.
I just nee-d to do something about all this.
Now is my time to rise. I will make them all pay and thus including their family members each of them. This is gonna be murder for murder.
The old me is back now and this time more dangerous than ever.
Don’t worry my husband and my son, I will avenge your death. They will all die just as you two die. They took your heart, so shall i do to them. They will suffer and that is my promise yo them.
“I have a question for you.”
“Go ahead madam.”
“Good. Now can you get more information for me? I will pay you a hvge amount for every work you do.”
He smiled, “absolutely yes.” He said.
“Get all information for me and I will pay you.”
“deal.”
I smiled at him.
Jeff smiled cause his plan is working. It wasn’t easy getting the information about kimkik and tyson relationsh!pbut he got it. And now his plan is working. Giving the three of them their secrets will be fun.
Let the show begin.
No pov
Carter sat down sipping from his cu-p of coffee with a lot going on in his mind.
Seokmi haven’t responded to him yet. He have to kill all the Lee’s family and take over their wealth but seokmi isn’t replying him.
Now he will have to use the other measure.
He will have to deal with seokmi and get him to do the job. And there is only one way to do that, and that is his daughters. H e threatened him the first time with his daughters but he still haven’t reply then now he will have to fulfill his promise. Seokmi will definitely do the job when his daughters lives are in danger.
He will have to-do it.
Kimkim pov
I c@m£ out of the hospital with a smiling face. The doctor have agree to help me after many pleading.
It wasn’t easy convincing him but am happy he agreed.
As long as grandfather isn’t awake father said he won’t kill anyone in the Lee’s house. And now I will just have to make grandfather sleep. For a long time until everything is back to normal and all this have been settled.
I promised to st©p my father and that is what am going to do. Am going to st©p him in anyway I can.
Maya pov
I sat down on my be-d. I nee-d help from people and I don’t want to trust that man who gave me all this information. He might be a betrayer. I should be careful around him. But I will still nee-d help from someone who is strong enough to help me. And I know who that person is. My brother, Mark.
I picked up my phone and called him.
“Hello little sis.” He said immediately he picked the call.
Hearing his voice I bur-sted into tears.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” He asked and I could feel that he was worried.
I told him everything that I was told. Infact just everything.
“I was right all along.” He said.
“plea-se brother, I will nee-d help.” I said wiping off my tears.
“I promise to give you any help you want. Don’t worry little sis, we will fight this together. I won’t allow you go alone in this.” He said.
“Thank you.”

Kimkim went home happy a bit for been able able to convince the doctor. She met Tyson alone outside.
“Tyson.”
“Finally you are back, have been waiting for you.” He said.
“Sorry I went out a bit. So where did they all go to?” I asked.
“They all left for the farm.”
“Wow they could go to tjee farm with everything happening this way? Wow.” I said.
I went inside with Tyson.
We both sat in the living room.
“Kimkim.”
“Huh?”
“I know there are a lot of things going on in your family and your life right now. But I just want you to know this, you are not alone. You can talk to me and am always re-ady to listen to you . I will stand by your side no matter what.” He said.
Kimkim closed her eyes and opened it again. This is not the right time to do what she want to do but she want to.
“Tyson.” She called.
“Huh?”
“k!ssme.”
Tyson looked at her. That was what she wanted at that moment and that was all she could think of.
Tyson brou-ght hisl-ips to hers and k!$$£d hee pas-sionately. It soon turned intense. They soon find their way to kimkim’s room.
“Kimkim.” Tyson called.
“Go ahead. And don’t st©p.” She said.
That was all he nee-ded to hear.
That afternoon was their first together. Kimkim was filled with smiles, Tyson is her first, that she is happy for.
“Kimkim this I promise you, our bond will remain forever and stronger than ever. I love you.”
“I love you too.” She said.
And soon they both found their selves in the dream world.
