THE BLEEDING HEART

"You must get married!" Gabriel yelled at his grandson. He immediately got up on his feet. The veins in his neck almost bulged out and his face had already turned red, making his head swell as if it was going to burst any moment from now. "And I said I will not," Ethan replied almost immediately, and looked out of the window. "I'm not joking with you, boy." Gabriel continued." You must do as I say. "Then he waved his fist up in the air. "Don't just push me to the wall, as the head of this family, you will do as I say. ""And I say that I am not getting married." Ethan shot back, a sly smile creeping up the side of his lips.Lord knows he was enjoying it all and loved it when his grandfather yelled, when he became the center of attraction, it gave him immense joy. He was feeling so important now. Besides, who wouldn't be? When a whole family decides to assemble because of you, then you know that you are as important as Elon Musk himself.Besides, he had wondered to himself countless times why the old man just wouldn't rest. He was seventy for crying out loud and always complained of chest pain. He was so angry, seeing his grandfather standing before the whole family of twenty, yelling and stamping his feet like a child whose ice cream had been taken away from him and forcing the word marriage down his throat.DamnHe wasn't going to get married.Even if he wanted to, that will be when he feels like, not even when love comes knocking.Thinking of love, he had never really loved any woman.He only admired themBesides, he wasn't ready for any marriage issues.His uncles were enough evidence that marriage wasn't as tasty as ice cream. He crossed his legs over the left and spread his hands on the top of the cushion where he was sitting down alone. Anyway, he was done speaking with the old man. Today was a Saturday, and he was supposed to be in a bar drinking or maybe playing golf.Nah,Golf was for seventy-year-old men like Grandpa Gabriel."Did you hear the last thing I said to you ?" Gabriel asked. He kept looking at Ethan, who had a careless smile on his face.He was damn sure that everything he was saying wasn't his business. Of all his grandchildren, Ethan was the only one who had stressed him and the whole family since he was born.But he couldn't deny the fact that he was smart, very intelligent, a critical thinker and the one who was the pillar of Seo Investments and lots of other companies scattered around.And that was the reason why he had made him the head of the company, because his decisions were top-notch.And now the young man was thinking he was punishing him when he asked him to get married. "Ethan, you shouldn't stress me any longer. I want you to get married as soon as possible. Is that difficult to ask?"He said in a small voice which was breaking and deep down he wanted to cry. But Ethan didn't give a hoot, he was even chewing gum. The whole extended family kept on staring at him and Gabriel. This was every normal Saturday fight which they had been used to."Look at your cousins," Gabriel continued. "They are all married. You are the only one left. "Ethan turned his head and looked at the cousins Gabriel was comparing him to. Was it Hyun who had thick glasses making him look like an ostrich ?Or was it Lee who had almost dragged the whole family into the pit of poverty, when he had almost signed a false document almost selling the company.NahThat was utter bullshit."And I just said I have no interest in getting married. Why are you doing this to me ?" He said, uncrossing his legs."Why is my case so different? Did you force my cousin before they got married, and now you are punishing me with marriage?""Your grandfather wants the best for you,"his mother interjected. "We need a strong, smart woman who will stand by you as you make decisions."Ethan rolled his eyes."Behind every successful man with a woman,"Hyun said, uninvited."Really?" Ethan asked and gave a thin smile.Anyone who knows him so well knew that whenever he gave that kind of smile something nasty was coming up. "But you are married." He said "Why aren't you successful? Two days after your wedding you gambled your house away."He smirked, then tilted his head."Does that mean your dumb wife was behind you as you gambled your house away ?"His last words sent some of the members of the family gasping in shock. Hyun and his wife exchanged sharp puzzled glances, his words cut through them like a ninja's sword.He knew that was an unkind thing to say, but he didn't give a damn."I can't let you keep on disgracing the name of this family in the name of finding a perfect woman." Gabriel stamped his feet."You have been into too many scandals already with too many women. The last one was with an actress yesterday. He was a popular i********: chef"But he pretended as if he didn't hear everything his grandfather was saying. It wasn't his fault that he was so damn hot and handsome, no woman could resist him.A lot of blogs have coined a name for him.Lord of Ladies.Gabriel kept looking at his grandson who still had a smirk on his face. "And on behalf of the whole extended family," He said, waiting to drop the bomb. We have decided that you will be getting married to Hannah Min Oh."If the word shock was a person, then it was Ethan.He quickly sat up immediately like he had been stabbed with a sword.His eyes rolled up in his head. "Tell me, is this a joke ?
