Tear Her

Chapter 31

"Alice?"

"Yeah?"

"You looked perfect tonight."

Alice immediately blushed meanwhile Dawin runs to the closet.

Dawin closed the door and sigh.

"The f**k you said those loud?"He asks himself.

Forgetting what he did for a while, he chose his suit and changed in to it after that, he also apply his perfume and went out to see Alice was sitting on the couch, obvious she was waiting for Dawin.

"Sorry I took a while I got stuck on my neck tie,"Dawin says while rubbing his neck.

Alice stared at Dawin's clothes and smiled faintly, she stands up and went near Dawin.

Dawin was confused for a while but he was shock when suddenly Alice fixed his neck tie.

"I really thought you know how to tie a neck tie,"She smiles.

"Sometimes I do sometimes not, stupid right?"He whispers, as Alice was almost near him.

Alice smiled and rise her head up, but that was a mistake immediately as she was met by Dawin's soft gaze towards her.

Both stared at each other deeply and Dawin, he was lost, so lost, Alice eyes it was always the one who gave chills in Dawin's spine everytime he stared at it.

Before, Dawin can freely stare at her, but now it was almost rare to get close to her.

"Win?" Alice suddenly asks.

Dawin was about to answer when someone knocked on the door.

Both sigh and Dawin said he will open the door.

When he opened the door, he was welcomed by Seb who was smiling brightly while wearing a elegant suit.

"What the?!"

Alice who heard Dawin immediately followed him.

"Dawin what happened, wait! What are you doing here?!"

"Well surprise!"

Dawin went near him and suddenly punch his shoulder.

Seb groaned in pain but it was obvious it was fake.

"What about the meeting in Seoul i***t?"

"Well I discovered early afternoon that it was cancelled because of some complications so I decided to go here immediately and did you know Pia was with me in the Airport," He said while his eyes was shining when he mentioned Pia.

Dawin sigh and nodded understanding.

"Um let's go?"Seb asks.

"Yeah let's go they must be waiting,"Alice said and walks first going to the elevator.

When Alice was finally far Seb suddenly smirked.

"I'm sorry to ruin your moment bro, and I must say your wife really looks so stunning tonight."

Dawin stared at Seb also and smirk.

"I'm sorry to say this bro but I will not agree about you courting Pia," Dawin said and left also not before locking the door.

While Seb was still trying to digest what Dawin have just said.

When he realize it, "Dawin!"

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

The business men were already present in the restaurant, only Dawin was not still there.

Mr. And Mrs. Lee who organize and host the whole event for tomorrow evening, every year, there is this event for business man to gather, Dawin actually didn't want to attend this type of event as it did was to brag their business on how successful is it.

Some other business man brings their daughter incase they will meet some young business man and will propose a offer to marry their daughter to them.

Well Dawin didn't like those, but for this year's event, he will consider it as it was Mr and Mrs Lee who were appointed to hold the said event.

Mr. And Mrs lee is a good friend of Lucas in business and also in personal life.

"We're is Dawin?"Mrs.lee asks.

"I don't know mom, and I saw him earlier and he said he has a wife already!"

"Francine actually it's true, so please don't make any scene, cause if you did,your reputation will be ruin. AC is not just a mere celebrity, she is a superstar so please," Mr. Lee said.

Francine just smirked, well she really thought AC is just a cheap artist as she judge what she saw earlier, but she didn't know was that she picked the wrong enemy to fight of.

All of them were busy chatting when the wooden door suddenly opened.

They instantly looked at the door, revealing Dawin and Alice and Seb was behind them.

Others starstruck to see for the first time the famous celebrity AC, meanwhile Francine was stood literally frozen.

She really thought, Dawin's wife will easy to fight of but looking at Alice now who was linking her arms to Dawin.

Her aura was literally elegant and Francine looked to her own outfit and gripped the table.

Well she was just wearing a black pencil skirt with white sleeveless, she really looks like someone who is ready to apply for a job.

Meanwhile Alice, she was like a queen that was invited for a small gathering. But her physical appearance screams royalty.

"Mr. Marquez or should I say Win, what a great pleasure to meet you my nephew, and it was also shocking to see the great AC, good evening! Mrs. Marquez. "

Alice was internally smirking, she was just enjoying Francine's face, she was like an abandoned monkey, well that's what she thought.

"Good evening uncle," Dawin said and also greeted the other business men who were present there.

Alice went near Mrs. Lee and smiled, "it was a pleasure to meet you mrs.lee, I only see you in magazines and newspapers but seeing you here in personal was really a lucky opportunity," Alice says politely.

The others were amazed on how she talk, so calm, so formal.

Mrs.lee smiled and shake her head, "actually I should be the one who was supposed to tell you that, in Korea it was so rare to see you personally, and seeing you only in televisions was already lucky but now holding your hand and talking to you is really a great fortune," She said and continue.

"And I must say, your like a royal," She smiles while Alice bushed.

Alice also greeted the others except Francine who was just sitting in the table while scrolling on to her phone.

Unluckily Dawin sat on the chair where in the right side was Francine meanwhile the left side is his wife, Alice.

Alice's left side is Seb who was using his phone.

"Yah! Can you sometimes stop message Pia?" Alice whispers to Seb.

Seb poke his tongue secretly so the others can't see it except Alice.

"No never, I can't live without her."

Alice mentally rolled her eyes, as she can't do that physically as infront of her is Mrs. Lee who is talking to a waiter.

"Dawin! It great to see you again!" Francine says while leaning on Dawin's shoulder.

Mr. And Mrs.lee's eyes widen and smiled akwardly, meanwhile Alice was smirking.

'oh the monkey talks again,' she thought while trying her best not to laugh loudly or else her poise will be ruin.

"Um, sorry about my daughter," Mr. Lee said.

Dawin frowns, well he doesn't have the time to sugar coat his words now so he said what comes from his mind.

"Oh she's your daughter? I saw her earlier," Francine smiles, thinking Dawin finally will talk to her. But then that all vanished.

"When I got here in the hotel with my wife,"He said clearly stating the word 'wife'.

"She suddenly clings to me like a monkey and I don't like it, not even a bit, so please uncle and auntie, teach her a lesson not to leech on someone who doesn't even know her."

Dawin said politely. The others widen their eyes meanwhile Alice who became bold of a sudden suddenly holds Dawin's thigh and pinch it.

Seb who was drinking water peacefully, well he choke in it and trying his best not to laugh or else he will Burt's the water that was still inside his mouth.

Dawin was shock when Alice punch his thighs.

But he didn't show it as he was enjoying Francine's face who fell immediately.

"I'm sorry about her,"Mr. Lee said apollogetically.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

All of them are now eating peacefully, meanwhile Alice gaze turned into cold when she noticed Francine was still not giving up and still leech herself to Dawin.

Meanwhile Dawin was already bursting inside but he doesn't show it as it'll become disrespectful for the food infront of them.

"Dawin can you slice this?" Francine suddenly said while showing her ugly puppy eyes.

Dawin didn't even glance at her so Francine kept quite for a while.

But her mouth was just like a chainsaw, it's loud and annoying.

"Dawin I will go back in Seoul next week and maybe can you tour me around, you know it can be a date also."

Literally all if them stopped eating, and when Mr. Lee looked at Alice it was too late as he noticed her very murderous glare towards Francine.

Alice suddenly stands up, "hey you b***h!"

All of them were shock but what makes them more shock is when Alice suddenly spilled a hot chicken curry all over Francine's face.

Francine shouted in pain and stands up also. Meanwhile Dawin was still trying to process everything.

"You! Why did you did it!? Do you not know me? I'm the only daughter of the Lee's and you dare do this to me? Your a cheap celebrity! Your a hag! A s**t! A w***e--"

Francine didn't finish her sentence when suddenly Dawin slaps her strongly using his back hand.

Everyone gasp, while Seb immediately drag Dawin away.

"You b***h! Don't you dare call my wife like that! I should be the one instead to call you the, your more Worser than a s**t, your a fucker a dipshit! A faggot!"

Dawin was literally boiling in anger while Alice was frozen all the time.

Francine cried when she heard those things and Mr. And Mrs. Lee immediately drag her away going to her room.

Alice immediately runs going to the elevator and Dawin followed her also Seb.

"Seb you go now, take a rest I'll handle Alice," Seb nodded and went to another elevator meanwhile Dawin followed Alice in another elevator.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

"Francine!"

Mr. Lee shouted when he closed the room door.

"Francine, we told you before not to mess with the Marquez, Francine please apologize to them," Mrs. Lee said.

"What?! Me? Apologize? Mom, dad, did you see what Dawin and Alice did to me?"

Mr Lee sigh, he really regret spoiling Francine this much, now the results were never been good, she was always arrogant to others and actually this is not the first time this happened.

"Dawin won't do those thing if you didn't started it!"Mrs. Lee frustratedly said. She was so done with her daughter, if they just didn't send her abroad for her studies then she won't be like this especially spoiling her too much.

"Why do you keep teaming up with that Dawin and Alice?! I'm your daughter shouldn't you be doing something to make Dawin and Alice pay for what they have done to me?!"

But Francine to her dismay, her parents didn't said anything.

"Get out!" Francine said.

"What?"

"I said get out!"

The couple sigh and decided to go out or else there daughter will shout again, like a spoiled brat she is.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Seb enter his room and sigh, it's been a long tiring day, and now his day seems gets more worse when he saw how Francine was.

He read the magazine's before and saw Francine with her parents and he really thought she was a good women and a good example but now on what he saw, all he wanted was to throw Francine in the rooftop.

He sigh and went to the bathroom to take a shower, after 20 minutes, he was done he changed his clothes and washed his teeth.

After doing his night routine, he plop to his bed and grab his phone from the night stand and video call Pia.

After three rings, Pia answered and smiled brightly when she saw Seb.

"Seb! How are you? Did you met Dawin and Alice?"

Seb nods,"yeah I saw them, I'm here in my room already I already did my night routine and after that I called you, did you receive the flowers I sent to you this evening in your office?"

Pia rolled her eyes.

"I received it and thank you, but why do you keep sending me flowers huh? I want chocolates though," Pia unconsciously pouted and Seb smiled.

"It's that so, then expect tomorrow, you will receive chocolates,"Pia laugh and stared at Seb for sometime.

"Something not great happened right?"

Seb widen his eyes, "how did you know?"

"Hm, Seb even though I still didn't confirm our relationship, I already know what you feel, I don't know but when you're sad, I can feel it when your angry, happy, frustrated, really Seb I can feel it."

Seb sigh and smiled, "it's good to know that the feeling is mutual, when you feel something I feel it to you know."

"Okay I know, I know but please don't change the topic, tell me what happened there, I know it's not just a bad thing but Worser than that."

And that's when Seb told Pia everything, on how Francine is always leeching herself to Dawin, on how Francine siad those mean things to Alice and how Dawin slapped Francine using his backhand.

"She will regret this," Pia darkly said on the other line.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Alice was looking at the city lights below the high building, she was quite when she reach here, she doesn't even talk to Dawin who was just beside her.

Alice was leaning on the railing when Dawin went near her.

"Alice don't believe on what she says, your not that kind of person," Dawin said.

Alice kept quite for sometime but she then replied.

"I'm not affected by that though," she says.

Dawin was confused so she ask her.

"Dawin, the problem is, people knows that were already married to each other, but why do they keep butting in us though? Can they leave us alone?

For example that Francine girl, she clearly and obviously knows that I'm married to you yet why does she don't care?"

"Because she is a b***h," Dawin replies trying to ease off the situation as he understand what Alice implied clearly.

"Yeah she is, but she still did those especially infront of me, I may not be in the position to say this, but even though our marriage was arranged but that doesn't mean people can take advantage on it. Can they like respect us just for this?"

Dawin sigh, "people are not always the same Alice, there will be always someone who will always push themselves to others."

"Yeah your right, that's why I almost choke her to death earlier."

"Wait, what?!"

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Seoul, Korea.

Pia was in her office room in her apartment, she was really mad about that girl Francine.

As clearly no one messes with her family, especially Alice and Dawin.

How dare that girl called Alice those kinds of names.

Pia, after they video call with Seb earlier, she immediately search on the internet that girl named Francine and discovered she is a new model, based in America.

Now Pia was smirking because it really looks like Francine won't take long as a model in the industry.

Pia grab her phone and dial someone.

"Hello?" The other line said.

"Jane your in Singapore right? From vacation?"

"Yes Pia, why? Do you want me to buy something for you?"

Pia smiled, "no Jane, I want a favor for you, I'm apologizing first for ruining your vacation but it's really urgent. Don't worry I'll pay you, I heard you are saving money to buy this bag that you found in the mall?"

"Well what is it?" Jane instantly said.

Pia laughs and then tell Jane her plan.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

7.00 am, Singapore.

Francine was done showering and goes out to her bathroom, she grab her phone from the night stand but suddenly frowns when her phone keeps vibrating.

"Why though?" She opened her phoned and opened the link her friend send to her.

But after reading those, the grip on her phone loosens resulting for it to drop in the floor.

"Newest model in America, Francine Lee was seen in Singapore forcing herself in to someone, the said someone identity is unidentified but the insiders said that this man is already married and love his wife, the man kept telling Francine to get lost but Francine Lee doesn't seem to understand that short sentence."

"Who the f**k?!" Francine grips her hair tightly and screams.

She throws everything that she saw, resulting for her room to be messy.

Her phone suddenly bling again and she hurriedly grab it from the floor.

But she froze when she saw a clear cctv footage of her in the lobby where she first went to Dawin and last night in the hotel's restaurant, it was hd but Dawin's face was covered.

Francine throw the phone to the wall and cried.

"W-who did this!?"

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

8.30 am.

Alice opened her eyes and stretched her body, she sigh when she saw Dawin was sleeping on the couch.

Yesterday, Alice insist that Dawin should also sleep on the bed because it was big enough for the both of them.

But Dawin is also stubborn and always said, he lives to sleep in the couch, so Alice left no choice but to agree, luckily the couch was big enough for Dawin, so he, also sleeps on the couch comfortably.

As usual, Alice first grab her phone from the nightstand.

She check her social media but her eyes immediately widen when Seb sent a link to her.

"Open the link when you wake up and you will definitely be shock," Seb says in the message with a emoji that was wearing a shades.

"Newest model in America, Francine Lee was seen in Singapore forcing herself in to someone, the said someone identity is unidentified but the insiders said that this man is already married and love his wife, the man kept telling Francine to get lost but Francine Lee doesn't seem to understand that short sentence."

Seb also sent the cctv footage that the netizens was spicing up.

"Wow! Who did this!?" Her sleepiness was all gone and immediately get up from her bed and run towards Dawin even though it was just near.

"Dawin! Wake up! Wake up!"

Dawin immediately woke up and get up.

"What happened! What happened! Is there a thief?! What! Where is he?!"

Alice face palmed and holds Dawin's hand.

"Chilax, there is no thief but this is more shocking!" Alice gave Dawin her phone and Dawin when he saw the article immediately read it and his eyes comically widen.

"Who? Did? This?"

Alice grins, "I don't know but when I will meet he or she I will definitely hug her or him and thanked them multiple times."

"And why would you hug them-

Alice's phone suddenly rings cutting off Dawin who rolled his eyes, and decided to comb his morning hair as it was in different directions.

Alice laughed and answered the phone, but she didn't notice she accidentally pressed the loud speaker.

"Hey Alice my sis, did you like my gift?!" Pia shouted on the other line.

Alice flinched by the sudden loud noise but then ignore it when she realize everything.

"Wait you did those do you?! The article, and the cctv footage?!" Dawin instantly said.

"Oh lovebirds are both with each other, well yes I did those, Seb told me everything yesterday and of course I can't just let my sis and bro be humiliated by that b***h so here it is!

Well did you both like it!"

Alice and Dawin stared at each other for a while then smiled.

"He'll yes!"

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

The morning turned to evening and now Alice, Dawin and Seb are getting ready for the event later on.

They discovered Francine goes back in America earlier afternoon as her agency immediately called her, ordering her to come to America as soon as possible or else she will loose her job.

"Yah! That's mine! It matches to me perfectly!" Seb frustratedly shouts.

Well now Seb and Dawin are currently in Seb's room, meanwhile Alice was in their room, being dolled up by a hired make up artist.

And Dawin goes to Seb's room but he now regretted his decision. Well Dawin Brough a new expensive 10 designs of neck tie so he can pick what matches him the most,

When he finally chose the neck tie he will wear, Seb grabs it and now both are bickering on who will wear the almighty neck tie.

"Seb! Give me that, you choose another that's mine! And you need to follow me I'm your boss and you need to follow me," Dawin says calmly.

Seb whines and forcefully gave the neck tie to Dawin, when Dawin grabs it, he immediately wears it and that's when Seb starts to stomp his feet.

Dawin sigh, why in the world did he chose Seb as his secretary again? Can anyone please remind him?

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

When the two idiots, I mean two men were done, they both went out to the room and knock on Alice and Dawin a room.

"Why would I knock? It's my room though."

"Sir! Your talking about your wife so you should have a privacy or else you will sleep on the couch."

Dawin scoffs and looked at Seb, if just he knows that Dawin really sleeps in the couch every night in this room.

The door opened revealing Alice who was smiling brightly.

"I'm sorry both of you waited outside, come in!"

But she was confuse when both we're still not talking. Dawin was just staring at her but Seb grabs his phone and took a picture of Alice who unconsciously pose.

"I'll send it to Pia my loves."

Seb went inside like he owns the room, meanwhile Dawin was still in a daze.

"Dawin?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah sorry!" Dawin also went inside and Dawin and Seb sat on the couch but Dawin was confused when Seb was sipping on a iced americano.

"Where did you get that?"

"I saw it in the table and the make up artist said I can take it, your lovely wife ordered it earlier."

Dawin just sigh for the hundred time today just because if Seb.

But his gaze went to Alice again, well who can't ignore the beauty or more like a queen infront of him.

Alice was wearing a pink gown and a black heels, her hair was in a high pony tail and a light make up, it really suits her, she really looks so soft that Dawin just want to keep her forever.

Wait what?! Dawin realize what he thought and immediately scolded himself.

"She's not yours anymore Dawin," he whispers to himself.

After 20 minutes the three of them went to the entrance if the hotel as a limousine was waiting for them there.

After half an hour the three reached the venue and the three were internally amazed in how the exterior of the venue was already magnificent.

The three of them went out from the limousine and walks towards the entrance.

"Dawin,AC!" They looked to the right to see mrs.lee smiling to them.

"Auntie," both said politely.

"I'm sorry about the article that came out earlier by the way," Mrs. Lee says.

"It's okay auntie," Alice politely says.

"Well let's go inside the party is about to start."
