Vincent Chae, CEO of The Chae Foundation and a single father, faces a dire situation. He must marry quickly to retain custody of his beloved children. Just when all hope seems lost, he crosses paths with Eliza, a struggling student who becomes the n...
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you the coolest brother in law, Mr. Vincent Chae dressed as the joker." He said.
Vincent appeared on the top of the stairs and my jaw was on the floor.
Holy freaking hotness!
He wasn't dressed as any joker he was dressed as 'The Joker' as in 'let's put a smile on that face' joker.

He came down and stood beside me.
"How do I look?" He asked.
"Hot." I blurted out. He raised an eyebrow.
Shit!
"I mean... good. You look good." I tried to cover up.
"Wow, Appa. You look so good." Lily said.
"And you look like the cutest pirate ever." He picked her up.
"But I thought you don't like dressing up." Lily said.
"Shhh!" He put a finger on her lips.
"Everybody gather around." Appa said.
"Noona, I'll bring the cake." Thomas whispered to me.
I nodded.
"Is everybody ready?" I asked.
"Yes!" A chorus echoed.
"Before we cut the cake, I'd like to say something. Umma and Appa, you both were the reason I ever believed in true love growing up. You two were, are and I am sure will always be crazy for eachother. When you two got married 25 years ago, I am sure you two were madly in love with eachother considering the fact that I was born within a year of your marriage." Everybody laughed.
"I have seen you two work together and fight together. Raising me and that idiot isn't an easy job, we know, so we wanted to let you know that we will forever be thankful that you raised us to become the people we are today. Growing up, I always wanted a family like ours for my future but fate had different plans. No matter how much I don't want to admit it, I was really depressed during that time but I wass blessed with a beautiful family of my own too. I am saying this because in the past two days you both became awesome grandparents for my kids too. I will forever be thankful for you too. And I will always you." I ended.
"We love you to, princess." Appa said.
"The cake is here!" Thomas brought the cake in.
After that the cake cutting happened. Everyone celebrate. We had some games and like always there was the best dressed couple contest.
"According to tradition, it's time to declare the best couple of this halloween, as vote by you all. I have already counted the votes and I am proud to say that this year's best dress couple are my Noona and bro in law!" Thomas said.
Claps showered from all around us. I was surprised to say the least.
"Come in the centre you two, it's time for the dance." Appa said.
"Dance?" Vincent questioned.
"It's a tradition that the winners have to slow down." I whispered to him.
"Come on Appa, Mommy!" Lily cheered.
Suddenly Vincent held my hand and walked us to the centre.
He turned so we were facing eachother and pulled me close. His arms went around my waist and I reluctantly looped my arms around his neck. Soft music started playing
"I don't know how to slow dance." I whispered.
"Do you trust me?" He whispered back.
I nodded.
Leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Then just follow me."
Goosebumps rose all over my body.
Slowly he started swaying us from side to side then our legs started moving in aa familiar rhythm.
The closeness between us was making my heart race. His eyes held mine captive. The rest of the world disappeared for us.
He twirled me around.
When I returned back to my original position he pulled me even closer than before. Then slowly began to lean down.
"What are you doing?" I sucked in a breath.
"Kissing my wife." He said and sealed our lips together.
This kiss was completely contradictory to the one before it was sweet, soft and full of emotions.
I felt like I was in heaven. The slight pressure of his lips was enough to make me feel a whole zoo in my stomach.
I felt like I was on cloud nine and at that moment I realised I was screwed. Because I didn't want to get out of this moment, I wanted to stay like this for the rest of eternity.
The realisation hit me that I did have feelings for Vincent, my fake husband.
Was this going to complicate things? Yes, but that was problem for the future right now, I wanted to stay in this moment.
