Beyond the Betrayal

CHAPTER 1

Father, why do I have to marry Mr Jung? He's older than you. Besides,Father, I already have a fiancé. You can't force me to marry that old man"

"Jiwoo our company is dying. It's almost bankrupt. Mr Jung agreed to help us if you marry him. Do you want the Jeong group to crumble?"

Jiwoo looked at her father in shock. So the Jeong group was more important than her happiness? She knew her parents didn't like her but she didn't think it ran this deep. Her parents showered all their love and attention and care to her younger sister, Jia, who was a spoilt brat.

Even if they didn't love her, they knew she had a fiancé and they loved each other. Or so she thought.

"Father, I have a fiancé already. I'm sure you already know that. I love him very much. I can't leave him".

She immediately left the house and took a taxi to Moonlight bar. It was midday so the place was somewhat empty. She called her fiancé,Minsu, asking him to come meet her at the bar but he refused. He claimed he was busy. So Jiwoo called her best friend instead.

Harin rushed over immediately. Hearing her best friend's tone, she knew something was wrong. When she got there's Jiwoo explained the situation to her.

“My parents think their company is more important than my happiness. I should have seen this coming,”Jiwoo said in a self deprecating manner.

“Sorry to say this, but your parents are assholes,”Harin said in pure rage “How can they do this to you? Sometimes I wonder if they really care about you. But this has shown me that they don't. By the way have you spoken to Minsu about this? What did he say?“

“I haven't asked him yet. Can you follow me to his apartment? I really don't know how he's going to take this”,she sighed.

Harin agreed. They got into her car and drove to his house.

On their way there, Jiwoo tried calling him, but he didn't pick up. They got to Golden Apartments and she tried calling him again but he didn't pick. Worried,she raced upstairs to his place. The door was unlocked. Fear gripped hear. She opened the door slowly and stepped inside, Harin following behind her.

Looking around,she saw different articles of clothing scattered around. Tentatively, she picked up a lacy bra. Harin's eyes widened in disbelief.

“Is Minsu seeing someone else?“

Jiwoo's heart stopped for a second. Was Minsu really cheating on her? She dashed to his room. Without knocking she opened the door.

The scene shocked her.
