Wounded: The Ordeals Of Lee Eun ha

Eun Ha? " the manager called, " Please take a menu to that table and get their request." deep down she would have wanted someone else to do it but this was the boss orders, who was she to reject. she took the menu and walked straight to the table, her heart was racing very fast, she couldn't phantom exactly why. good evening Sir, she said bowing her head politely as she offered the menu what would you like to have? they looked at the menu and pointed what they wanted, she went out from the table and brought the cocktail they had ordered, she turned back to leave when the voice of one of them stopped her in her tracks. "wait" her heart stopped for some split seconds and continued beating with difficulty. I know you, you're Mr Lee's daughter he said with and an evil grin that revealed his tobacco colored teeth. she froze as the tray she was holding dropped to the ground. "I was right, it's them" The restaurant on the ground floor was filled with people mostly the elites, some of them were tourist, others were there for a business meeting and others, conferences. the sound of the dropped tray caught the attention of most of them, making them glance at Eun Ha for some split seconds. He continued, The deadline is tomorrow evening don't forget that. Eun Ha had wanted to say something to them, perhaps, beg them but the words never left her throat. Eun Ha stood there for about two minutes, "will you get us our meal or will you just stand there?" the other muttered harshly. she knew they were evil men, above the law. falling into their trap was the most dangerous place a person could be. she resigned to begging for more time. one glance, Mu Chen could tell what was happening "X force" he whispered underneath his breath. they had quite a reputation and were feared by many. They feared no one and could illegally obtain what was theirs if necessary. He looked at the helpless young lady on the floor, he knew there was no way they'd let her go, no matter how much she begged. he didn't know this girl, yet he felt a need to protect her. he went out and waited in his car in the parking area. "Wait," he said with a deep voice. Chae won was surprised he would have sworn a few minutes ago that he was in a hurry to leave. The loan sharks finished their meal as she handed them their bills, "How ironic, we're paying for your service and you owe us," he said humorously as they both burst into laughter. Eun Ha felt a knife pierce her heart, she had never felt so much humiliation in her life. she followed them outside the building trying to plead with them for the last time to see if they'd cave in and give her more time but they just walked straight to the car and drove off. Eun Ha stood outside the hotel, in despair, her father was going to die, this men were ruthless, the cloud had darkened earlier, soon few drops of rain started falling, but she was in no hurry to leave as if it were possible for the rain to wash down all her pain, she stood outside staring blankly into thin air while it rained on her, soon her hair was separating into clustered strands, tear a freely flowed down her cheeks, she felt like screaming, she felt helpless, Just then she couldn't feel the raindrops on her skin she turned as her eyes met with a tall handsome young man holding a big black umbrella. Mu Chen looked at her sorrowful eyes, he could see the pain in her soul through them. "I know who they were, and I can roughly guess what it is" Eun Ha was confused, "what did he know? who was he? why is he being kind to me?" she asked one question after another in her head. "How much?" he asked with a king like voice. "10,000 dollars," she said as her lips trembled, "How did you...?" this time she was starting to get suspicious. I have an offer for you, I'll clear the debt but you'll carry my baby"

"I'm pregnant... It's official"

Eun Ha sat in her room, she had been receiving anonymous groceries on her doorstep for over a week, it was like she had a guardian angel watching over her. She pulled out the test strip for the umpteenth time. She knew what to expect, at least she was expected to get pregnant but she couldn't believe she would be carrying a child she didn't plan for. She went to the small restroom located at the right side of her one-room apartment, the restroom had both the toilet and bathroom in one compartment, she equally had a poorly furnished kitchen. The old fashioned kitchen cabinet was the most prominent feature of the kitchen she had passed the kitchen on her way to the restroom and she heaved slightly.

She pulled out the test strip and urinated in a small plastic cup she had got on her way down to her apartment a few days back.

She inserted the strip into the urine sample she had collected.

"2 stripes, it's official, I'm pregnant," she said In a sad tone as a drop of tear escaped from the corner of her right eye.

She never imagined being pregnant would be such sad news.

But here she was, alone in this shit hole of an apartment, carrying a strangers child.

"It's not so bad Eun Ha, at least he is still looking out for you right, you're strong, you're beautiful, you are powerful, you'll get through this," she thought to herself wiping the tears off her face.

She walked out of the bathroom and went to the small mattress in the corner of her room.

She was exhausted, she had a long day already and she needed to go to the clinic.

She called her best friend, she was at her lowest and she desperately needed to talk to Mi Sun.

"Sun A".... She said making emphasis on the 'A' like a cry baby.

Mi Sun had gone back to college in City C she was quite concerned about Eun Ha. They've been friends since her childhood. They went to the same school, then, Eun Ha's father was as rich as hers, she couldn't fantom how life could change in such a short period, how a very brilliant child such as Eun Ha was reduced to this. Her thoughts ran wild with many what-ifs, she had been listening to Eun Ha and at the same time trying to see if she could help in any way but her hand were truly tied. She had a lot on her plate.

"Mi-sun, are you listening, "yes yes!" she stuttered, she was lost in thoughts. She managed to let out a few encouraging words to "Eun ah, you are strong and I know you will get through this, you always do, what of the child's father"

"Have you met him?"

"No it's confidential, I don't know him"

She lied. "I'm sorry Mi Sun, I have to lie to you" about this, she apologized in her mind, she had signed an NDA and she couldn't disclose the identity of the person whose child she was carrying.

"How is school? " Eun Ha asked trying to change topics

"A bit stressful I must say," Mi Sun sighed deeply.

She had a test tomorrow and she wanted to read a little before going to bed.

"Good night Eun Ha, I'll check up on you tomorrow"

"Good night Sun A"

The call went off and Eun Ha felt alone all over, she cried herself to sleep

He opened the back seat door for her, "Creo bar" she said and she entered the car

He shut the doors and they made their way to the bar.
