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"

It was 6:00 am the next morning Eun Ha had rounded up her night shift at the hotel, she knew she had to resume work at the grocery but the last thing In her mind was work. she thought about the 10,000 dollars, her father's life was on the line, she needed to do something and do it fast, getting pregnant wasn't one of them, perhaps she could talk to her friend Mi Sun, maybe she would be able to borrow her 5000 dollars, perhaps, she could beg them having 7000 dollars at hand. she walked out through the exit and boarded a bus home, she needed to think, the deadline was just a few hours away, if she didn't get that money, her father could die. she subconsciously hit an old woman while walking in to take a seat

"watch it, girl," the old woman said angrily

"I'm sorry ma'am," she said picking up the old woman's things from the floor and respectfully handing it over to her.

she took a seat close to the window as she observed the busy streets, lots of people were heading to work, she could feel the wind hitting her face, she looked at some people jogging and laughing, she wished her life was as easy as that. she wished she could just keep running till she got to a better place, run away from it all but she couldn't, she was stuck here.

the bus stopped at her drop point to drop some passengers off but she hadn't noticed till it was about moving away from the terminal.

she quickly ran to the front of the bus close to the driver, stop sir, this is my terminal, we're you sleeping young woman? the driver asked angrily and abruptly came to a halt, she apologized and got down. she had to get to the grocery store at 10:00 am where she worked for 5 hours.

more importantly, she had to get 10,000 dollars from God knows where.

she walked into the house, it was a 3 bedroom bungalow, her neighbourhood had people normally referred to the lower class citizens, they weren't rich, they were just regular people, she passed by Mrs Cheng who was sweeping the little garden she had in front of her apartment, good morning Madam Cheng she said in a low voice,

"how's my favourite girl today?" she said with a wide smile on her face that revealed her crooked brown coloured teeth.

"fine" she muttered

Madam Cheng was an old woman and she had known Lee Eun Ha since she was little, they had been neighbours for quite some time, but she was a really strange woman, Eun Ha didn't care about her life history, she just helped her with some manual Jobs around the house whenever she had the time.

Madam Cheng knew something was wrong but she was going to let her be and ask her later.

Eun Ha knocked slightly at the door, her mother immediately got up from the couch and answered the door, she hadn't slept a wink,

"good morning mum" Eun Ha greeted, it was clear that she wasn't happy, not in the least bit.

"mother, did you sleep?" she noticed her mum had eye bags and dark under eyes.

"I tried to, but I just couldn't," she said as they both walked into the living room,

Eun Ha fell back to the chair and sighed, she was exhausted, she didn't get much sleep either.

"have you been able to come up with the money?" her mother asked looking at Eun Ha with high hopes

"well... I met with someone who could help but he wants me to carry his child, a contract pregnancy"

"and what did you say? don't tell me you turned it down?" her mum questioned her like it was a police investigation.

"of course, I did mother, I just can't, I can't carry a man's child I'm not married to could be a life-changer for me, how will people look at me. what will they say? if I am to leave this place who will take care of you and Han Jae, I still have responsibilities," she said trying to reason with her mother.

but the reasoning was totally out of it right now for her mother, they wanted a solution and there was one.

"you can't refuse," her mother said.

Eun Ha was shocked,

"mother are you suggesting I do this," she asked in disbelief.

"yes I am" she retorted back slightly angered.

"it's your father's life over the opinion of others"

she went cold, her mother had a valid point, she isn't supposed to gamble with her father's life.

"Okay, mum, I'll go see Mi Sun see if she'd be able to lend me some amount of money to pay up then I'd be in her debt. I need to call the grocery to inform them I won't be coming today," she said as she stood up carrying the bag she took to work into her room, she emptied it and entered the bathroom to take her bath.

"okay"

her mother simply said, she felt hurt, she knew no mother should encourage her child to do what she was propelling Eun Ha to do, but she didn't have a choice. Seo Jun was an unreasonable jerk but he was still her husband and the father to her children, she couldn't lose him now.

Creation is hard, cheer me up! VOTE for me!
