•••••••••••••The Mansion ••••••••••••

Ethan left the house in annoyance....

" what rubbish,they had to make him marry that girl,over his dead body"...

He cursed silently and drove out the car in anger.....

Miso went to her room , putting the marriage issues at the back of her mind, whether or not grandpa was serious, everything would come to light no need to rush least one regretted it....

" Thanks uncle Myles"
Miso eyes turned gentle as she thanked the old butler who smiled before retreating giving her some space...

" Finally"
Miso signed as she laid sprawled on her bed,she miss her room,the scent filling her nose making her calm,her eyes was devoid of emotions,she sneered coldly remembering Ethan annoying face and with a hiss discarded her clothes and went to take a shower.....

•••••••THE STUDY ••••••

" Sir I don't think that stunt you pulled earlier was a good idea"
Myles said respectful to grandpa Kim,who had a smiling look on his face..

" It was actually a prank"

" What"
Myles was stunned as he eyed the old man in front of him,this man was indeed crazy,just to make Ethan come home he actually pulled such a stunned,he really didn't have any other word to describe this childish boss of his..

Grandpa Kim seems to notice his questioning gaze and eyed him in distaste,

" What are you looking at"

" Nothing"
Myles said respectful and bowed his head trying his best to stop himself from laughing loud...

" Grandpa,I know you want Ethan back home ,but that stunt you pulled could have ruined our lives forever,you only cared about yourself and not our happiness especially your grandson Ethan are we some sort of tools to satisfy your curiosity, grandpa if so am really disappointed.."

Grandpa Kim and Myles frozed when they heard her speaking,they didn't close the study room thinking there would be no interruptions, grandpa Kim look down guiltly afraid to meet Miso gaze..

" Am sorry Miso"

" It's okay ,just hope you won't do any silly things again"

" Really"

" Yes"

Ethan who came back because he forgot something stopped as he listened his gaze unreadable..

"So that was the reason,he had misunderstood the poor girl from the beginning"
Without waiting he moved his feet and barged into the study room giving them quite a fright as he received dangerous glance..

" Yoh!rude brat can't you knock"

" Sorry"

" Hmmm"
Grandpa Kim huffed as he turned to smile at Miso making Ethan's eyes twitched..

" This was obviously cheating"....

" Grandpa you ...
Ethan was speaking when a maid entered as she disclose the news of the family's head return which was Ethan's father,and Mrs Kang who came with her daughter Katrina for a brief stay....

" Oh that fast"
Grandpa Kim voice was filled without warmth as he grabbed Miso cold looking hand ," Miso dear help me to the sitting room"

" Ok grandpa"
Throughout the whole exchanging of word's Miso ignored Ethan as if he didn't exist spiking his anger....

••••

In the sitting room ,the duos stood up as they watch Miso escort the old man to a sit,before retreating to the side , neither sparing her adoptive parents nor the eldest aunt a glance...

"Grandpa how have you been"
Mrs Kang asked warmly

" Why are you here"
Grandpa asked rather rudely making Mrs Kang smile on her face go stiff, Katrina stood up as she held grandpa's hand...

" Grandpa,mom and I miss you so we came here to visit you"
Katrina said fawning but the old man shifted away from her making her facial expression look ugly...

The room was dead silent, Miso didn't raise her head not because she didn't dare to but she didn't just want to see the gaze of the disgusting people sitting in front of her...
Grandpa Kim gaze towards her was filled with heartache as he looked at her...

" Oh ,so Miso is here too,what a coincidence"
Katrina muttered, turning all attention at her,Mrs Kim frowned as she eyed her with distain....

" Miso, can't you greet or your blind"

"Your status is too high Mrs Kim how would I dare"

Mrs Kim choke not from anger but surprised that word were exactly what she used in bullying Miso when she first arrived telling her she could never look at a person of high status and of course grandpa Kim face turned colder making everyone trembled including Ethan expect Miso who was used to it....

"What did you say, Miso repeat those words"
He asked questionly and Mrs Kim quickly butted in..

" Say Miso what nonsense are you saying,why would I say that to you,you are like a daughter to me"

" I was never a daughter neither will I be to a heartless woman like you "
Miso said coldly raising her head ,her blank gaze threw everyone off guard..

"Miso you are talking to my mother like that apologize "
Ethan thundered but received a smack on his back from the old man's cane and he hissed in pain,Mrs Kim and Katrina quickly patted his back..

" Grandpa"
Mrs Kang called softly,

" Shut up don't call me"
Facing the cold-looking Miso he hardened his heart to hear the truth as he asked..

" Miso continue "...

Miso nodded as her gaze landed on Mr Kim who clenched his fist,"
You have two beautiful kids ,I was envious they had good parents but you proved me wrong,your wife is heartless,but your more heartless,not only did you not intervene when I was wrongly punished,even though I understand that I wasn't your own flesh and blood but still... Miso chuckled sadly as she continued,you even said no matter what in the future you won't care if I die or live ,all through my life grandpa has been the only one supporting me ,you even said I wasn't worth the shoe the servants in the house wear"....

Myles and the few servants sucked in a cold air as they listened,gosh that was too cruel how could they do that to a young girl...

" Miso I...

"You have no right to call my name ,so as I do not have the right to call you one Mr Kim"
She spatted in disgust leaving him speechless and guilty..

"This two"
Miso suddenly started laughing, making goosebumps appeared on their skins..

" Mrs Kang not only asked people to bully me in school,but secretly paid someone to ruin my face and reputation all because I was getting in the way of her daughter's,I was taking her spot-light,"

Grandpa Kim murderous glare landed on the duos and they bowed their heads in shame...

" And as for you"
Ethan flinched as he suddenly had a bad feeling in him, knowing whatever he was going to say was not going to be good...

" Grandpa"

" Yes Miso"
He answered attentively,

" Do you know why I left to study medicine,then switch to be an army surgeon"

" No"

" It was because of him"

"....."

" At that time,not only did I got injured with a knife but Ethan also body shamed me and called me a loose woman,a sl*t with no background and so on.....

Everywhere was dead quite, grandpa Kim aura was becoming increasingly dangerous that everyone held their breath...

" Miso...you ..held this in all along,why didn't you tell grandpa"..

"Even if I did,you won't do anything about it,they are your family am not just will be and always will be an outsider,you and elder sister loveth treated me way ,but still it doesn't change the fact that am not one of you....

" Miso...am sorry it's all my fault "
Grandpa Kim said his eyes red as he choked on his words,a guard came in and bowed towards them before speaking..

" Miss Miso,your luggage is ready its yime to leave"

Everyone was flabbergasted,as they looked at the cold looking girl in front of them,she nodded at the guard who retreated to his station..

" Miso...you...

" I have to leave grandpa,"
Miso took his trembling hand in hers and bend to kiss it lightly,the tears finally slide down grandpa Kim eyes as he sniffed the atmosphere was tensed...

" If I stay here,I don't know if I would be able to control myself from retching from disgust,you and aunt Tricia would always be the one I know,the rest of the family has nothing to do with me"

Mr Kim was annoyed and felt his heart miss a beat,he clenched his teeth hard to stop himself from apologizing as his proud ego won't let him....

" Okay!then promise grandpa,you will come visit"

" I will ,I promise"

Grandpa Kim hugged her tightly," yes he was selfish selfish he didn't want to loose this little sunshine that made his world brighter"

" Ok,go quickly before I change my mind"
Grandpa Kim uttered playfully trying to mask his pain and Miso smiled as she held out her hand, showing his the coral wrist bead he gave her on her 5th birthday,it was just old and had lost it colours but she still kept it as a treasure..

" I have this, knowing you will always be with me"

Grandpa Kim smiled satisfied and nodded at her in approval, Miso bowed and left never even sparing the rest a glance as they weren't worth her time and attention, Ethan seems to Feel his heart tingle with regret and other emotions he couldn't understand but he soon shook his head to stabilize his emotions as he looked away coldly silently consoling himself that her leaving was for the best but he was proven wrong...

Katrina eyed the door with jealousy and hatred, grandpa Kim laughed coldly as he muttered in annoyance..

" Good!very good !not only have you ruin my mood,but you let Miso leave when she saw you, indeed you're my closed one's,you can all retreat now since the eyesore is now gone ,you must all be happy,and if you find trouble with her ,I will make your life miserable "
He barked out threateningly and Katrina trembled with rage..

" Why is that orphan so lucky"...

Grandpa Kim looked at them once more and with a cold huff left for his room,Myles supporting him and the room was thrown into total silence...

" It's good she is gone now,we have finally gotten rid of a burden who knows what that sl*t is capable of"
Mrs Kim muttered and Mrs Kang and Katrina nodded in acknowledgement,Mr Kim didn't stop them as he felt they were right...

" It's her fortune to be in a rich family but she doesn't appreciate,she should stay far away from us"

" Right,am sure she will come back crawling on her knees for forgiveness "
Mrs Kang muttered arrogantly,Ethan was having an headache listening to their conversation,so he grabbed what he came for and left the house...

" Miso wasn't a girl who would return,she would rather brace the future,"
Why was he thinking so hard,"she was just a sl*t who wanted to corcern him into marriage but it didn't work out in her favour so she left"

He concluded to that and his mood got better as he drove out of the mansion towards the direction of his favourite joint club where he met with his friends......
