"W-what Areum s-said are all true. Sh-she tried to kill us." she said sobbing badly and sniffing. She then continue "Jeonghan, she's not innocent as she looks like in front of everyone. Moreover you. Please believe me." sobbing harder than before. I pulled her head close to my chest, caressing her hair and shush her. Rina never lied to me. Seeing her crying and sobbing hard explained well and it does hurt me.

"Now that it's all clear. Do as I said. Introduced Areum as your wife as she and her family are the same level as us. By doing that your reputation and mine will be safe. I'm your mom, I know what's the best for you." That woman said and leave the room afterward.

I looked at Rina and she just nodded signalling it's okay to do so. "You really want me to do this?" I asked her for a confirmation. She nodded while looking directly in my eyes. I sighed and looked to the person.

"Fine. Go and change Areum. We are going to the party and so do you baby girl." I said while nudging my nose with her and gave a peck on her forehead. She smile sweetly at me as Areum already went to change.

Park Eunjin you'll pay on what you did.

*end of flashback*

Now I'm standing on the stage with Areum by my side as my wife. To be honest I do feel sorry as all of this happened to her. No one deserves this. I look in the crowd and found Rina clapping and smiling at me. I smile back and mouth "I'll make it up to you later" she shyly looked away and smile. I swear she's so pretty that I cant take my eyes off of her.

I then feel another pair of eyes on me and saw that girl looking at me with the most saddest eyes she can give. Nah it wont work anymore. I can't believe she's pretending to be innocent when she's a whole monster. I'm glad that I left her long time ago. I look beside her and saw grandma's face. She looks so disappointed with me. Tsk wait until she know about her so called lovely grand daughter in law. I looked away and smile with the crowd.

Eunjin's POV

"Eveyrone here's my wife. It's Park Areum."

Hearing it, it's like everything around me has fallen apart. I can't stay here anymore, I'm not needed here. I saw that he's staring sharply. His gaze piercing deep in my soul made me so scare. It's like he'll do something dangerous to me, like it could kill then I just put my head down. Just then he look away and smile to the crowd. I was so uncomfortable. I was about to take a step to leave this place when grandma hold my hand.

"Where are you going? You can't leave this place" She said and tried to stop me. "But why? I'm not needed here. I'm sorry" I slowly let her hands off of me and walked away but not long after I could hear a loud coughed. I turned around and saw it's mom.

"Mom!" I literally shouted not minding everyone there.

"Mom are you okay??" I asked her panic as grandma helped me hold her. I was busy finding her medicine in my bag when she held her hand out to me. What I saw made me widen my eyes. She just coughed blood. I'm scared and panic as hell.

"M-mom??" She then closed her eyes and her hand fall as she fainted. I tried looking for the President but he's nowhere to be found. People around us are all seems panic. One of them call the ambulance and I thanked him.
