Dark Princess

Silence In The Dark

And I was there with him both. He's taking care of me. Oh, most importantly, he's my girlfriend. And he said he'd marry me. Jade, don't fly off first. It takes time to tell if it's true or just a joke. He could have been curious because you were so rude when you first met. Could be. But I threw that evil thought away. I have to go back to being that positive thinking Jade, who likes to see what's in front of her eyes. Look, he's there, reading to me. What other evidence is lacking?

It was my routine while I was there. In addition to talking, he would read books to me. He encouraged me to be a writer. He has even done research on the internet, 101 ways to become a reliable novel writer. I listened to him like I was taking a class. But most of the time, he would be immersed in his work. He tried to do all his work agenda from the hospital room as much as possible. But some agendas demanding his scheduled presence must be canceled.

We then went home after about two weeks. I still have to sit in a wheelchair, and she carries me whenever I need to move without a wheelchair. That said, the atmosphere at home still feels like a hospital complete with nurses and doctors who come on schedule, just moving places, and more privacy. I still can't move alone. He insisted on me lying in bed so that I could recover quickly. And similarly, he was working on his work agenda from home. If she had to go out to meet in person once in a while, Drey would be by my side 24/7.

That day, hapir all the news portals in the country frenzied covering the wedding reception Gaia. The wedding ceremony took place in one of the most expensive hotel venues in South Korea. I let the TV on and watched all the processions left covered by the media.

She is very beautiful in a beautiful wedding dress and is suitable for her body. Should have. A Gaia must have prepared things related to fashion in great detail. Her husband, a young businessman, is one of the heirs to a family estate of a well-known conglomerate in the country. I still remember talking about Gaia commenting on her photos as a child until her teens, ugly by her. But for people like them, money can answer all kinds of problems. Money can also turn that guy's ugly face into a handsome one. I chuckled considering Gaia's cynical face back then.

They get a lot of compliments. Comments about the dream wedding reception reached thousands, even becoming a trending topic on the internet during the day. A former member of a girl group, who later became a successful businessman, married a wealthy businessman, the third generation of a conglomerate, handsome too. They are the perfect couple.

I should be happy for him. At that moment I realized, he had left no more traces in my emotional arena. I was indebted and vowed to spend the rest of my life paying for it. But after that incident, my debt paid off. The count between us is broken. I don't hate it, I don't like it. No more feelings for him. I hope he can manage his new family well. Although it seems difficult, because he does not like men. I was wondering what would happen next, it could be good - if he wasn't determined to change, and it didn't seem like he was - it could be bad.

Given that she still planned to keep me by her side and keep our relationship secret, I can tell, she was planning to live her married life with a fake. I can't imagine what's going to happen. That would definitely be messed up if he could not keep a secret properly. But looking at his track record so far, he can handle the matter well. He's got a lot of money to make things under control if he later - eventually - finds a new lover.

His relationship with Earnest ended. I must say, Gaia has lost a friend who understands her and is beside her purely because they are friends. Many people wanted to be close to Gaia because of her money. It is different with Earnest. The man remained as a friend despite knowing how rotten Gaia was. Unfortunately, he released a friend who was really a friend. I wanted to blame myself. But I have a new understanding from Earnest, that I too have the right to determine my own way of life.

I remember one night, Earnest came home battered, sad and moody. He gave a cliche reason that he was helping people on the streets from big robbers. But I know he went to see Gaia, offering her an eternal friendship but on condition that she have to do something to change her vices. Including doing something reasonable as an apology for me. But the negotiations failed miserably. And the war ended between the two camps. I got the full story from Drey. I forced her to tell her because I saw that they were both battered. I guess they must have lost. As long as she was in that city, Gaia would never lose. He was allowed to use the dirtiest way to knock his opponent down. He cannot accept the name of defeat.

Earnest, he could have sent all the evidence of Gaia's crimes to the authorities or to news portals to destroy her good name. But he chose to use that friendship to give Gaia a last chance. He knew he would lose if they entered the fight. But he advanced for his pride. He knew I didn't want to retaliate against Gaia, but he couldn't let any of hers be treated arbitrarily. That's why I pretended to believe and accept that absurd reason.

...

Not a month. So many things happened. Start with a reliable girlfriend. Almost died being tortured by the number one man in my life. Caged in the house and crouching in bed for recovery. And know Earnest more deeply. I realized I was going through a change too. Becoming someone different than before.

I went from being a woman who did anything to survive to being a woman who let herself out of the struggle and fall in love. Yes, I've fallen in love. I love Earnest Lee. The definition of love is still not fully understood, but I can quickly learn from how to love me. I felt the same way and wanted to do the same for her. I am so happy to be loved by him and to love him. But maybe because of that, I got nervous. Do you often wonder when that happiness will end?

That way, I changed my plan. Who had only wanted to depend on him because he wanted me and I could use him, so, I would depend on him because I love him. I even proposed to him that we just go back to Singapore and live there. Leaving Seoul as a city of strangers. But he insisted that we stay until we found something about my childhood. I even forgot that I used him for it. He was determined that the case should be traced to completion.

I don't know why, it scared me even more. I believe he's done it. But it just made me more afraid. I wasn't ready if the search was successful and we found a terrible fact there. I'd rather stay in the dark forever embrace any speculation I've ever fouled myself in my entire life. Rather than receiving bitter and painful information. What if Earnest couldn't stay by my side and left me if my childhood story was too rotten?
