Colton's POV
I took the earliest flight this morning. I admit it. I was wrong. It was all my fault.
I'm trying to get her forgiveness. I've called her. But she didn't even bother to answer her phone. Not even once. I've visitted Kallum's house. But they were not there.
Now, after 2 weeks at Jeju, I'm going back to New York again. I haven't told my family about Lia. Actually I haven't told them about my mistake. My biggest mistake. I haven't contacted them since I came to Jeju. And if you remember, I planned to stay here with Lia for 1 week. But I just didn't want to go back, to I have 1 more week here.
You know what. I'm frustated.
I knew. I'm a fool. I could not even keep my anger under control. And why? I kept asking why. Why did I have sex with her? It's not like she is the only woman in this world. Maybe you think that I'm not a playboy or man whore. But the fact is, I once was someone who you called playboy. Am I a bad guy? I knew I used to take random girls to a hotel. But I have forgotten about that. I haven't did that again. Because I made a promise to myself that I won't have any women again.
But now. Ever since I betrayed Lia. I have did that habit again. I went to club at night. I took a sexy hot girl with me. And had a sex with her. Sometimes, I even brought 2 girls with me.
1 week and few days ago, I gained my grandfather's trust. He said he would help me. I have tried my best to contact her. But when I know that I've failed, I'm starting have sex with random girls. I'm depress. And I miss the so much that it hurt. That's my reason to had sex with other girls.
Do you know how I feel? I'm not happy doing that kind of things. I thought it would make my anger calmer. But everytime I had sex with random girls, I still feel bad. Really bad. And I'm still angry with myself. It just make me angrier. It's a complicated feelings. But I couldn't stop myself from doing that.
Yes I'm pathetic. I love her. But I hurt her. Not just once, but multiple times. I love her yet I can't stop hurting her.
I don't deserve her.

[New York, the following day]
When I arrived at New York. And already had a bunch of business calls.
Now I had to go to my office. I have had 2 weeks for holiday. And all my meetings have been postpone.
As soon as I walked into my office, I received a punch right on my jaw.
"Ouch! What the hell you just did to me!"
"Punch you! You are such an asshole!"
"What? Asshole?"
"Yeah! You are an asshole! You hurt her! You betray her feeling! Damn you!"
Shit! He knew about it?
"You know about it?"
"Yeah. Yesterday she and Kallum came here. She quit being your fake girlfriend. And you know what? Kallum make her quit from her job as your secretary."
"What? She can't do that! She has to be profesional."
For the second time, I received a punch again.
"What the hell! You are the one who is not profesional! You slept with that fucking slut! You don't deserve her you know! What make it worst is you hurt your rival's sister!"
"I know! I know! I don't deserve her. And what do you mean by rival?"
"Kallum was your rival. You don't remember him?"
"No."
"Kallum Landon Parker. Does that name recall a thing?"
"Wait! What? Lia's Kallum is that Kallum?"
"Who else?"
"Then I don't have to feel guilty. Her brother and her cousin are both my rival. So my assumption is true! She is just their tool to get my wealth!"
"What? I can't believe my bestfriend said that! I know about Dmitri and her. But I belive they hate each other. Cornelia is not that kind of her! Don't you dare to think so low about her! I thought you love her, but it seems that I was wrong."
"I love her!"
"If you love her, you will belive her! If you love her, you will not sleep with that slut! If you love her, all this things will not happen!"
He said that and then get out of my office. I just sit and stare blankly at my window. He was right. All this things would not happen, if I trusted her from the beginning.
Alex's lecture was not the first lecture I received after I arrived at New York. The first time was from my family. My big family.
Let me tell you
[Yesterday]
I arrived at my house. And my mother welcomed me. It's not a warm welcome. She didn't give me a hug like she always did. She stood in front of the door with her arms fold in front of her chest.
"Colton Xander Steward!"
Oh great! She called me by my full name. It's not a great sign.
"No 'welcome home'?" I joked with her. Trying to calm her down
"Just go inside the house!"
I went inside the house like she demand me to do. My dad, my grandma, Anne and MY GRANDPA were already the living room.
Yes. My grandpa was there. It meant all the family has known about the problem.
"Colton! What did you do to my future grand daughter in law?" My grandma asked me.
"How cruel of you!" Anne said.
"I've told you thousand times before. You can't hurt her, Colton!" Mom said.
I knew I was the one to be blamed. And I just sit there in silence. I knew it was my fault. So I wouldn't dare to speak a word.
All their points were I was a jerk (I knew that), I couldn't kept my dick inside my pants, I was unfaithful and what stinks the most was I don't deserve her.
I knew that too. I knew it all. But if someone tried to help me and I had my chance, I'm willing to correct myself.
But it also confusing. I always said that in my mind. But what is my action? I just kept bringing girls to have sex with them.
You know what? I don't even understand myself.
[End of flashback]
Damn! What happened to my perfect life! My world was so damn perfect before this happen!
"Mr. Steward, there is a letter for you."
I was snapped from my thought.
Letter? Nowadays people still send letters?
"Bring it here."
A few minutes later, Susan came to my office with that letter with her.m
"The writer didn't mention his or her name in the envelope. But the mail man said that it's really important."
I took the letter from her hand.
"Thank you. You may go out now."
She went out as I said.
As soon as she went out, I opened the letter.
"Dear Colton,
Long time no see. Do you remember me? Hah! Of course you don't know the sender. But maybe after you read this letter you will know me. You will know me if you are smart enough.
How is your relationship with my dear niece? I heard you have a 'special' relationship with her. But you know, I'm not stupid. I know you are faking things.
Because you insolve in her life, I shall involve in your life. Pretty fair, aren't it?
I shall warn you. Be careful, Colton. I will took what is yours. Soon enough.
Your beloved,
Someone"
Who the hell is this? Niece? Lia is his/her niece? It must be her uncle/auntie.

Cornelia's POV
"Lia. Remember, don't go out from this house without my permission. At least tell Mia before you leave the house. Don't forget to lock the door. And more importantly, don't meet Colton."
I just laughed.
"Don't laugh."
I laughed again. "I'm sorry, okay? You ara just too funny. I'm glad that I have a brother like you."
"Me too. I'm glad that I can meet my baby sis again."
He pulled me into a hug.
"Okay. I need to go now. Take care of yourself okay?"
"Sure. I'm an adult already."
"But you are still baby for me."
"Just go." I pushed him to his car. I heard his laughter.
It has always been sweet moments for me and Kallum. We lived together now.
After Kallum went to his office, I went to my room. I heard my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Cornelia! Are you at your house?"
"Yupp. Why?"
"I'll be there in 15 minutes."
If you are wondering, that was Tori. Since I came back from Jeju, she has always be there for me. She knew about the problem. And she hate Colton as much as Kallum do. I hate him too, but I still love him at the same time.
"Cornelia!" Tori bargged in to my room.
"You said you will arrive in 15 minutes. But it just 10 minutes."
"I can't wait to meet my bestie."
I chuckled.
"Are you alone today?"
"Yeah. Kallum has a business meeting today."
"Ohhhh.. Poor you. I will not let you be alone today. I'm going to be with you all day!"
"You sure? How about your business?"
"Nah. It's my father's problem."
"Want to hang out together?"
"Sure! Eh, wait! Mia gave me something before. She told me to give this to you."
She handed me a letter.
"What's this?"
"Don't know. Maybe a love letter from a boy."
"Hey!"
"I know. I know. You will not love again. Because Colton is already in tour heart."
"Tori! Don't tease me like that!"
I opened the letter.
"Should I play a game with you?
I've put few photos for you inside the envelope. I hope you are happy with these photos.
With love,
You know who"
What! This hand writing!
