Chapter 30 (1/1)

DOUBLE UPDATE! GO BACK TO CHAP 29!AND DON'T FORGET TO ANSWER THE POLL AT THE A/N! Katherine couldn't stand this anymore, she was almost giving up. Hoon was laying unconscious beside her, his body all bruised. How long do these two planned to keep them like that? Her legs, arms and head, her whole body was numb. Her eyes were so heavy, she didn't slept for two days now, and also didn't eat nor drank water for two days. Her throat burned, so did her bruised skin when she let those tears slip over her cheeks.All she could think now was about dying.'I can't... I must be strong... Seolchan needs me.'She gulped hard as she heard the sound of clacking high heels once again. "Seriously, you're so boring" Mrs. Kim exclaimed, rolling her eyes. "Since, you're going to die, I think it's fair enough tell you why I am doing all this... let's start from the beginning..." Himchan walked in circles afflicted, even more to discover that his stepmother is behind all this. She promised him! She promised that Katherine would be safe as long as he agreed to that arranged marriage thing, if regret killed, he would be dead by now."Guys! I can't reach Hoon!" Jonghyun said desperate. "No way! She couldn't have done the same to him, could she?" Hyesoo licked her lips afflicted, as her husband rubbed her back."Knowing her, she probably did." Himchan said."But isn't Hoon her son?!" Hyeri exclaimed."You don't know this woman, Hyeri-yah." Hyesoo sighed."Good news!" Mr. Kim entered the room, approaching the group. "We tracked her."

"You see... I came from such poor family. My mother taught me very well, I should marry a rich man and become rich... My dear hubby were always so sweet with his darling wife, but you see, my dear Kathleen...""Katherine!""Whatever" The lady rolled her yes and kept with her story. "I, being so pretty couldn't be stuck for forever with this old man. It would be such a waste of my beauty." She said, faking a sad voice. "That's when I found my dear Leo, isn't he such a sweet? Yes, he is. ""The baby isn't even Mr. Kim's, is it?" Katherine hissed. The lady let out a sarcastic laugh."Of course not! But let's stop talking about me, let's talk about you and Himchan." Katherine gulped hard. "You see, Himchan is marrying my dear Sooyoung... so we can become one with the Choi inc. Oh, then I would be the second most powerful woman in Korea. But if there's no marriage between the two families, then there's no partnership, then there's no money... And you, darling, seem to be attracted to my dear stepson. But that would be against my objectives, do you understand?" She caressed Kate's cheek. "That's why I'm getting rid of you, this and the fact that I hate you." "Now, That you know everything, and torturing you became boring. Leo, do whatever you want." Mrs. Kim said before giving Katherine a last look and leaving the room.'That's it.' Katherine thought, she felt the sting pain of the metal bat hitting her back. 'I'm going to die...' Leonard had a psycho smile on his face while he hit her. 'Seolchan-ah... Mommy loves you, no matter what happens, your mother will always be with you.' She gulped hard and could already feel the bitter taste of blood on her tongue. ' and Himchan... I love you too... I just wish I had time enough to tell you this...' "Katherine!!!" She swore she heard Himchan's voice before everything went black and she passed out.
