"Bye. See you tomorrow." Irene waved to her co-worker and walks out from the restaurant. She took a deep breath and took her time to admire the sky that started to turn dark. Sooner, the rain will pour down.
Irene smiled proudly. The event was succeed and everyone seemed to enjoy the menu that they had prepared. Irene even got a praised from the head chef because she's succeed to prepare everything with other workers.
"Ahh I need to buy the groceries." Irene suddenly remembered of the empty fridge. Putting the hoodie on, she walks towards the nearby store.
When she steps into the store, its already 7.30 PM. She took the trolley and walks around the store to see what she should buy. She picks the beef, chicken and etc and putting them into the trolley. While she was pushing the trolley, her eyes wandered around to see if there's something that she can buy. Out of sudden, she hit something real hard because she could hear a loud thud. She looks in front of her and her eyes widened because she saw someone was on the floor, groaning in pain and mumbling about his butt hurt so much. Everyone that was near there stare in horror.
Irene quickly ran to the blond haired male who was on the floor.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't notice you." Irene said worriedly as he was examining that guy condition.
That guy didn't respond as Irene was kneeling in front of him. Worried written all around her face and that guy thought that Irene was beautiful.
"Hey, are you okay?" Irene asks, snapping him out from his thought. Then, she helps the guy to stand up.
"Okay I guess." The blond guy said with a reassuring smile. Then, he notice his phone beside him that was lying with it screen facing the floor. He took it and oh- "But, my phone here is injured." He points out while showing his already scratch screen in front of Irene's face.
"I-I will pay back. H-how much?" Irene asks while taking out her wallet. But then, she felt a warm hand circling around her wrist. She looks up and her eyes met with the man dark brown orbs.
"Its okay. Its not a big deal." The blond guy said, giving a reassuring smile.
"No no. I want to pay back. Its my fault. Tell me how much do you want Mr-" Irene stops as she didn't know that guy's name.
"Its Kim Yewan." The guy named Yewan said as he know that Irene was asking for his name.
"Kim Yewan." Irene utters the name. Yewan didn't hear anything after that because he was stunned with the way his name slipped out from those beautiful plump lips. The sound was beautiful, just like the owner, Yewan thought. "Hey, do you hear me?"
"Yes." Yewan lied. He didn't even hear a single thing. "What's your name?"
"Kim Irene, but you can call me Irene." Irene answered with a small smile. Again, Yewan thought that her name also really beautiful. Kim Yewan, are you fall in love at the first sight? He questioned himself.
"So, how much do you want me to pay?" Irene asks, again, snapping Yewan from his trance.
"Ok if you insist to pay." Yewan stops. "Give me your phone." He demands. Irene didn't question and took out her phone. She blushed when Yewan smiled when the latter saw the phone-case. It was freaking crab phone-case and Yewan thought its freaking adorable.
Yewan took the phone and type his phone number before clicking the call button. After a few seconds, his phone rang. Then, he ended the call.
"I have your phone number now. I will call you later." Yewan said, giving back Irene's phone. "Bye, gotta go." He said, winking and left. Irene froze there. Heat creeping up to her face. That guy was winking at him. Irene, got a gripped of yourself! Irene scolds herself. She then pushed the trolley that she had abandoned to the counter. She should quickly going home before Ian came home.

The taxi stops in front of the penthouse. She went out from the taxi only to stops on his track when she saw red Ferrari was parked in the garage. She suddenly felt terrified. The bag of groceries she held them tightly. Trying to push the fears away, she walked into the house. From the front door, she could hear the sound came from television in the living room. Taking a deep breath, she brought her legs towards the kitchen and only to stop when he heard a deep, husky voice.
"Where are you going?" Irene tilts her head and saw Ian was sitting on the couch while his eyes staring straight on the television.
"Ohh Ian, you come home early." Irene tried to hide her nervousness but it didn't help when she saw Ian switch off the television and stand up.
"Why? Are you shock?" Irene could feel the smirk that appeared on her husband's face even she only saw his back. "Where are you going?" He repeats while turning around and drew closer towards Irene.
"I-I went t-to buy groceries." She lied. Well actually its true that she bought groceries but she lied about her went to work.
Ian's eyes darkened. Anger engulfed him.
"Liar!" Ian snapped.
"N-no, I-"
PANG!
Irene fell on the floor after Ian slapped her face without warning. The groceries that she held fell and scattered on the floor.
She placed her cold hand on her right cheek that were being slapped by Ian. Its hurt so damn much and Irene was on the verge of crying as she saw Ian's face red with angered. Ian was mad.
"What I told you about resigning your work!" He snarled, drew closer to Irene who started to back away. He knew Irene was lying to him. Irene only told him about buying the groceries and lied about went to work.
"W-why? I didn't do anything to you. Why you want me to resign? Why you care about me going to work if you didn't give a f**k about me!" Irene cried out, still backing away. She was terrified with Ian. He looks like a monster in Irene's eyes.
However, Ian pulled Irene's right leg to stop her from backing away. He then straddled Irene and grip on Irene's hair tightly that made Irene crying even more because of the pain.
"Why? You ask me why?!" He shouts. "You ruined my life!" He slaps Irene again. "You ruined my happiness!" Slap again. "And I will never let you have the happiness! A b***h like you don't deserve it!" He slaps again, but this time its more harder.
Irene cried more harder but this time not because of the slaps but because the words that came out from Ian's mouth was killing her inside. She felt sad because all the blame was put on her, only her!
"Listen here b***h, even I don't want this marriage, don't think I will let you do what you like. I will never let you have a happy life because you didn't deserve it!" He hissed, the grip on Irene's hair tighten. "Now, you just disobey me." He pulls Irene up by gripping Irene's hair. "You should be punish!" And dragged Irene upstairs.
Irene cried out. Its hurt so much. Her gaze blurry and her head was spinning due to the hit she got several times. She tried to beg for Ian's mercy but Ian didn't give a f**k to her beg. When they reached upstairs, Ian kicks Irene's bedroom door before shoving Irene on the bed.
"J-jungkook please! I will not disobey you. Please!" Irene pleads, tears streaming down her face.
"Aww poor you little thing." Ian cooed in a mockery tone. He unbuckle his belt and crawled on the bed. Irene back away. She's sure in any seconds something more bad will happen. "Now, you will get what you deserve!" He snarls then lifted the belt and whipped it on Irene's body.
"Arghh!" Irene screamed. The pain shooting through her body. "Please Ian! No!" She begs while using all her energy to stop Ian's hand. But Ian was stronger. She was being pushed and she lays flat on the bed again. Ian kept whipped her body non-stop. Its continue for the next few minutes and Irene can't bring himself to beg anymore. She just lay there, taking the whipped and she tried to hold herself from screaming because she didn't want their neighbor to hear it. She was whimpering, her body aching and she felt like dying.
When Ian was whipping Irene, out of sudden Irene's phone rang. Irene was tired and she couldn't stop Ian from answering the call.
"Hello? Irene? She's in the bathroom." Ian answered, his hand covering Irene's mouth to avoid Irene from screaming. "Ohh really? But Irene will resign. Yes I'm her husband. I don't want her to work because I can support her. Yes! I'm so sorry about that. Thank you." He hangs up the call and uncovered Irene's mouth. Irene cried even more. Her dream just shattered into pieces.
"Now, you are officially resign." Ian smirks. "So, don't dream to work there anymore!" He warned and Irene only nods obediently. Its useless for her to fight. "Don't ever leave this house without my permission." He added and Irene only respond with a nod.
Irene was tired. Her body aching, her head spinning and her sight blurry. She lays on the bed without moving and she didn't even notice that Ian had stop whipping her and already left her there.
Tears streaming down Irene’s face. She was sure that her body already full with newly fresh wound. But the only thing she could feel was the wound that appeared in her heart. She was hurting. Ian's words just now was stabbing her heart but she didn't blame Ian. She didn't blame anyone. She knew this was her fate and she should accept it. She believes that the light of happiness will come and lighten her life.
"If to live with you is a heaven to me, I'm willing to give my life to you, Lee Ian. I'm willing to give my love for you." Irene whispers to herself.
