CHAPTER 06
warning: abuse, violence
"IT'S GREAT you choose to go home, it's been months"
"I have to, hearing all the news about you doing nasty things in here" Roselle was inside his mansion, sitting on his sofa with a cup of coffee in front of her.
She looked at him with anger, but instead he just smiles at her not minding her expression "Don't worry, I didn't do something nasty that can make our relationship dirty to the eyes of the people"
Roselle frowned at what he said, he just raised both his brows and winked at her.
"I didn't cheat, even a bit. Well ..." Ian grabbed his cup of coffee and sip from it, suddenly his gloomy vibe turned into dark. He glared at her while still sipping on his cup of coffee "Well, I heard something nasty though. It's from one of my friend in Seoul, he said someone's wife was having a good time with some jerk"
Roselle felt nervous hearing what he said, she can't help but to pick her coffee too in case it will washed out all the nervousness she's feeling.
"But if it's my woman, I will forgive her though. If she choose to be honest and tell me how nasty she's doing being away from home"
"I--Ian" Roselle tried to speak.
"What? You have something to say?"
Roselle was hesitating if she'll tell him, she knows what will happen if she'll try to deny it and act like she did nothing "I'm sorry, it just happened. I was drank and I regretted it"
Roselle walked towards him with her both hands clasped, she tried to rub both of her hands together as she plea for forgiveness.
"You promised to behave while being away, I let you chase your dream being able to work in a company but what did you do?"
Roselle started tearing up, all she can do is plea for him to forgive her. But instead she received a loud slap making her face turned sideway.
"Do you know what I do to those people who disobey me? I make them suffer. I gave you freedom for a bit and you acted like a b***h?"
Roselle begged on her knees while crying her eyes out, she knows how brutal Ian is when he's angry. He grabbed her shoulder up and drag her inside a room, she tried to let go of herself but he is too strong.
As they get inside the room, he pushed her inside making her fly on the bed.
"Reflect on yourself there, you're lucky you are my wife or else"
Ian stormed out of the room and pushed it hardly, the room has a door lock outside so he lock her up.
Roselle was left inside the room crying and curled up in bed, she guess her happy days are done now.
"Boss, Mr. Jeon will arrive tomorrow morning"
"Then get ready, make sure to welcome him with a blast"
Ian went straight to get himself an alcohol, and went towards the terrace of his mansion.
°°°
JUSTIN arrived at Jeju Island, he can't help but to flash a smile at the relaxing wind Jeju Island has.
He is with his secretary only, as they rode towards Mr. Yu's mansion. He picked his phone from the pocket of his suit, he just stared at it contemplating whether to call her or not.
He is now regretted leaving that night, he shouldn't have let her decide on herself. He knows he was a jerk that night coming in there drank and talking shits on her, but all he can just do now is regret it.
He was out of his mind, he didn't even know why he went there. But it all already happened.
He scrolled down on his phone trying to find his old number, and when he saw it he tap on the call icon.
The number was just ringing, no one is answering. He tried to contact it again but still no one was answering, he just put it back on his suit.
"We're almost there sajangnim"
"Okay"
His car stopped when they reached the place, he hopped out and saw the huge white mansion. It's the only mansion build in the area, the land is so huge and he guess Mr. Yu owned it all.
A bulky man went out of the mansion, they walked near him as he guide them inside. His eyes roamed through the house, the house screams manliness.
"Welcome" Justin was busy checking on the house when suddenly a man's voice was heard, he turned to face the owner of the voice.
Mr. Yu has been one of his major customer, but he never saw him in person. Ian flashed a smile as he lead him to sit in the living room, Justin and secretary sit and a house maid put two glasses in front of them.
"Thank you for coming all the way here in Jeju Island, I hope I'm not that hassle to you"
"It's fine, you are our customer and you are not a hassle. You're house is so huge and nice" Justin smile with courtesy.
"Thank you, it was just recently renovated. Let's talk about the products that you delivered" Ian said.
"Ah right, I heard there are some damages and I want to say sorry for it. I will try to bring some replacement on it and maybe I'll also send you our new model"
"It's fine, it just the furniture that I ordered is for my wife" Ian said smiling.
"You are already married?" Justin looked shock at what he said, he never thought he's already married. Seeing his physique, he looked young and maybe only a few years older than him?
"Ah yeah"
"Where is your wife?" Ian was all smiles in welcoming his visitors, he was really planning to talk about the damage products but suddenly their topic switched.
And hearing him now trying to find his wife, makes his blood boil in anger. He knows Justin don't know who is his wife because Seoul is so far away from Jeju Island.
His business is just around the Jeju Island, he just occasionally order furniture in Justin's company.
"You see, I don't really wanna show off my wife"
"Why? You're lucky you are having a new family now, you see I'm still enjoying my youth"
"Do you mean, you just have fun and nothing serious?" Ian asked.
"Yeah, I'm not ready to settle down yet"
"I was like that too before, changing women until I get tired of it"
Justin nodded agreeing to him, maybe someday he'll be like him too. But for now, he's still not ready to settle down.
Suddenly a maid came walking towards Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu pointed on there glasses in front indulging them to drink.
Justin reached for it as he watch on Mr. Yu talking to his maid, he suddenly stood up and looked at them "Please excuse me for a bit, my wife woke up. I'll come back, please enjoy your drinks"
Justin nodded as he watch him walked away from the living room, he watch him as he vanish and sip on the glass.
Roselle woke up with a swollen eyes, the room is dark and she tried to open the door but it is still locked.
She swifted off the curtain of the window for the morning light to come in, she tried to opened the window too and the fresh wind hug her.
She roamed her eyes outside, this is the place where she grew up. This place was once empty, no mansion and no cars parked outside.
But now Ian owned it, it was once owned by them before her father sell it to his family. Life was difficult they can't even have a meal for a day and she was studying that time, they were left with no choice but to sell it to his family.
She was busy roaming her eyes to the wide land when her eyes landed on the car parked outside the mansion, there is one SUV on there. She frowned seeing the car, Ian don't owned SUV's.
He loves collecting sports car, he is not fond of boring cars nor SUV. Suddenly the door of the room opened, a maid went in with a box on her hand.
"Miss Roselle, Mr. Ian wants you to wear this"
Hearing Ian's name makes her blood boils, he is now bossing her out and being a jerk.
"Tell your boss, I'm not going anywhere"
"Miss Roselle, he have visitors outside. He wants you to behave because it's an important person"
Roselle sarcastically laughed as she grabbed the box and throw it on the bed.
"What? He's afraid his goodie two shoes image is gonna ruin when I act b***h outside?"
Roselle was talking shits on him, she is getting brave because she knows he's not around when suddenly he appeared in front of the door.
She was startled at him suddenly showing up, she got slightly scared but she wants to show him he's not afraid of him.
"Get change, I have a visitor outside"
Roselle didn't respond, instead she turned her back and picked the box. She was about to get in the bathroom when she stopped because he suddenly spoke.
"Behave yourself, I still didn't forgive you"
Ian walked out of the room after, she just rolled her eyes and clean up herself.
She opened the box and she saw a white dress, it's just a casual dress but it's pretty. She change into it and sit in front of the mirror, she was about to apply some skin care when she saw her swollen cheek from his slap.
"I need to cover this up"
Justin enjoyed the drinks so much that he didn't noticed Mr. Yu coming back "Sorry, my wife is on her way"
"I thought you don't want to show off your wife" Justin jokingly said.
"It's fine, it's not like you'll steal her from me right?" Ian jokingly said back.
"Of course, I don't steal woman that is already taken"
"Really?"
Justin nodded as he sips on his drink, Ian nodded too and smirked. When suddenly a foot steps was heard coming towards the living room.
"I guess she's here" Ian stood up to welcome her, Roselle walk towards the living room with a smile. She have to act happy even if she's not, she don't know what will Ian do if she'll act like a b***h.
When she went inside she first saw was Ian smiling at her, he extended his arms to hold her. She reach for it and smiled sweetly at him.
"Rosie, my visitors. Mr. Kim, this is my wife"
Roselle's smiling face disappeared by hearing the name, she turned to face the visitors and the first thing that she saw is a pair of angry eyes looking at her.
