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"

Confused

Eun Ha was in shock, she couldn't believe her ears.

The only way to express her surprise was through a sarcastic laugh, she laughed to the point of tears

"what trick is life trying to play on me right now? have I no had enough of the drama and trauma?" she asked sin a low tone. First she is about 3 months old pregnant for one of the most influential men in Korea, her life was still as miserable as ever, and now here a chance, a chance to be Li laying gently at her feet, something the governors daughter couldn't get

"Why me?" she managed to ask he was still standing close to her, he understood her position he understood it was difficult to believe that he actually wanted something serious with her. He stretched out his palm touching her chin

And he said in a calm voice

"Because I love you"

"Why? Why would you love someone like me, I have nothing, my family has no status, why me?"

She asked this time as tears gathered in her eyes.

"There is no reason to love, we just love who we love, I'm clear about how I feel about you, and I'm willing to go the extra mile just to keep you happy"

"What if your family doesn't approve of me, what happens to me then!"

"you don't have to worry about that, let me handle it."

"Do you feel same way about me, Do you love me?" she was totally unprepared for his question, was that even a question, she had been fantasizing about him since he the day he gave her a black umbrella and offered to help, the umbrella could be mistaken for an artifact in her apartment, she treasured it, greatly.

But what was the possibility of whatever he felt being true, there was no denying that they both felt something for each other or perhaps, that she felt something for him.

She shook her head slowly both ways, Muchen didn't know what else to do to convince her of his love but as much as possible he would try to convince her.

She stared at him, she wanted to believe him, she wanted to believe he truly loved her, she was carrying his child, perhaps this could work, but it was too good to be true, it was like she picked up a child and got a free lover.

"I can't" she said as the tears she was trying to hold, flowed down freely.

His heart sank, but he wasn't going to give up, he understood her fears, and there was no doubt that her fears where real.

"You can, okay can you at least think about my proposal"

Please, let's meet up tomorrow by 6:00pm then you can tell me what your decision is, is that alright?

"Yes it is" she nodded like a 5 year old, he pulled her up close into a warm hug and wiped her tears with his hands.

His chin rested comfortably on her soft hair, he felt a deep sense of connection to her, she was the mother of his child.

She broke free from his warm embrace, and prepared to take her leave.

I'll drop you off, are you going back home?

Yes, she said, she wanted to visit Mi Sun but she needed to be calm and collected before going.

He picked up the envelope and handed it over to her, you're my person, and I will always look out for you, I'll make sure you never, lack a thing.

"I can't do that, I don't feel comfortable with you doing things for me" I want to be able to take care of myself, and my own bills, I can't rely on you for everything.

"Eun Ha, I know you don't have a job, I know you were sacked" he said in a low viice

Her eyes widened in shock, "how did you find out?" she asked him

Did he think she was a thief? she thought to herself.

"I know you are innocent and that you were set up by someone"

She felt relived that he knew she was innocent.

he paused for a while and continued

"I'm going to find out who is responsible for this and I won't let the person off the hook, that person is going to apologize to you on bended knees" he said in a deadly tone

She felt a hedge around her, she felt safe, she didn't want to get her hope's up just to be disappointed. She had experienced so many disappointments in her life, she couldn't afford to be heart broken which was why she was restrictive in her love.

He held her palms tightly, can we go now?

Yes she managed to smile, she had a very retty smile and this was the first time he'd seen her smile. He picked up his suit and they both made their way out of the building.
