Episode 1:The twisted fate
The time is currently 8:45pm on a Sunday night in Seoul, at the King emergency Centre. Mrs Kim just birthed two little babies, angels to be precise. The whole ward was lit up with the beaming smiles of all the doctors and nurses present as they heard the wailings of the newly born babies. Mr Shaun Kim seemed to be the happiest man at that moment, when he heard the voices of his little princesses.
just as the happiness flowed in everyone's heart, bad news came too quickly without anyone expecting it. the doctors entered into a state of panic as one of the babies' heart stopped beating, they devised every means possible but couldn't save the child; in less than a minute, Mr Shaun was given the bad news that he lost one of his babies, the doctor said she was born with a very weak heart.

(AMELIA'S POV)
"hey, am Amelia and you are?" I asked the good looking guy in front of me.
"Cameron" he replied very briefly. hmmmm my parents are at it again, not another suitor hmmph .
"Amelia, meet Mr King and Valerie his wife" my dad introduced
"good day, it's a pleasure meeting you" I reply as politely as I can.
"awwww such a beautiful girl and also well mannered" Mrs Valerie said
"thank you, ma" I am in my good behavior today, I seem to like this particular suitor out of all the ones I have met since I turned 20.
"Mr king, why don't we go into my study to discuss while the youngsters get to know each other" my dad said and immediately our parents left just I and Cameron in the living room.
"so Cameron, why the long face? don't you like me?" I asked but the snobbish guy didn't even blink.
"ok, cool, it's fine if you don't want to talk, at least show some manners, you're in my house" I said getting pissed already.
"why will I show you any manners?" he asked, before I could reply,he was already out of my sight. how can he be so fast, I mean look at those long legs.well, he has no choice, he'll definitely come around eventually, we're getting married anyways.
CAMERON'S POV
"Sir, your flight is in 10 minutes, where are you?" Jeff asked over the phone
"I'll be with you shortly" I ended the call and stepped on the accelerator as I headed for the airport. soon, we boarded and Jeff was itching to ask me what delayed my arrival.
"speak Jeff"
"uhmmmm, sir, the thing is, you're never late on any occasion, what happened today?" he asked
"my parents happened, they wasted my time talking about marriage and business ties with the kims family" I replied, leaning back a bit for I am so exhausted with the while marriage charades.
"did you see the girl in question this time?" he asked
"hmmmm, yeah but I didn't look at her" I replied nonchalantly
"besides, she talks too much" I added.
"hmmmm, I just checked now, she's a beauty I must say but she's just 20 years old are her parents sure of marriage?" Jeff asked
"well, anything to collaborate with King is possible" I said closing my eyes but Jeff threw another question again.
"so, what's your take?"
"no take, am good for now" I replied
"until when?" he asked again
"Jeff, that'll be all for today, I need a few minutes sleep before we land"
"sure boss"
At exactly 4:00pm, we landed in Beijing for a cultural exhibit and some auction activity. the driver drove us straight to the venue for the exhibit and I was ready to spend some good money today.
when the auction kicked off, it was not what I expected, all the items being auctioned were not all the more classy and demure as I would like it until eventually, the last item. it was a Jade beaded bracelet, it looked so ordinary, that nobody bided for it so, I just bided one million dollars, everywhere was silent, it was as if nobody wanted it, just when I felt it was all mine, a tiny but clear voice rang out, 1.5 million, hmmm who could this be? he or she also had eyes on this ordinary looking Jade just as I did.
2 million..... I bidder higher, 2.5 million the voice rang out again,3 million I said.it remained silent until the hostess announced me as the buyer of the Jade. I was extremely happy to get that bracelet, it looked ordinary but it was very special in its own way, it was packaged and delivered to my private room in the auction hall.
"sir, why bid 3 million for this Jade?" Jeff asked as I opened the package, it indeed liked too ordinary but my heart keeps clinging towards it.
"I just like it" I replied and got up to leave. with Jeff trailing my coat tail.as I stepped out of my room, I bumped into someone,"am sorry" a tiny voice is heard
"it's fine" I replied but looked down to see a very beautiful, delicate and gentle looking girl. she stared back at me with a set of Bambi eyes, they seem to be teary a bit but was bright and beautiful.
"you got the Jade I liked so much" she said calmly
"I like it too, that's why I got it" I said
