Namjoon's POV

"Mr. Kim do you have some time later, I have something I wanted to discuss with you" Mr. Bang said, he is temporarily managing my father's law firm. He was my fathers' close friend and he also offered to supervise me.

After my father's death, I wanted to succeed his law firm but in order to do that, I need to study again. Luckily, I have Mr. Bang by my side giving me a hand. I don't have classes today so I went here to learn and experience working. All I studied and learn before are about businesses so this is new to me.

"About the information that you asked me before" he whispered making sure that only us can hear our conversation. My mood brightened up hearing the information.

"Thank you, Mr. Bang, I owe you one" I said and he just smiled. "For my friends' son, it's not a big deal. Tell me if you need anything again and if there's some kind of trouble tell me okay" he told me and I just nodded. I'm really glad that I have him by my side. It makes everything a lot easier.

"Then I'll get going, I still have a client waiting for me in the office and you can put the documents on the drawer below, those are old documents from the airport incident" he said and went out.

I'm happy to know that Dad have friends like him. There are good people here and he have a lot of good friends. I wonder if he regretted everything.

"Dad, is your jealousy the only reason why you made your self suffered like that? I don't understand" Everything is somehow unclear. I think there's something happening but I can't pin it out.

My phone rings and I looked at the caller I.D, my eyes widen. Why are they calling now? What do they want this time? Even with the incident with my father or his funeral, they didn't call or send condolences, what do they want now?

I answered the call. "Hello" I said in a very informal way.

"How imprudent, answering without respect towards your mother" she said. "What do you want?" I asked not really taking her shits. Hearing her voice makes me sick. She just chuckled and it pisses me off.

"If you don't have something important to say, I'm ending the call, it may not look like it but I'm busy" I told her coldly.

"Oh my, how cold my son. I just wanted to say that the head of the Kim family ordered you to go back in the estate. Now that your father is no longer alive, he said that he will forgive you and exempt you from your father's wrongdoings. Isn't that great?" she said happily. My grip on my phone hardened and my body is trembling with anger.

"Don't make me laugh" I said with so much hatred.

"You can bring your wife here as well, the head said that he didn't mind. You can live here with us again, aren't you happy?" I felt something snapped in me after I heard what she said.

"Live with you? Happy?" I mumbled.

"Why is there a problem?" is this woman serious?

"Don't fucking joke with me and tell that head of yours that I'm not going back. I don't intend to. I'm already exiled from that family and I'm done with your bullshit. Stop contacting me. I no longer want to hear or see you. So, stop bugging me about this anymore" I said angrily.

"So, you will defy the head? For what reason? On what ground? Do you have power to defy him in the first place?" she asked in an angry tone. She is being impatient because her tone is rising.

"Don't be delusional, now that your father is gone, who will support you? Namjoon you are smarter than this. It's better to obey his order while he's kindly asking you. Don't waste this opportunity. You can even start again and you don't have to struggle in managing your deceased fathers' firm" she said. Deceased? Does she even care about father? Does she even care about my feelings?

"Deceased? Don't you ever talk like you care about me moreover don't talk about father like that. You don't even know what happened so stop acting like you cared about me" I told her, I heard her clicked her tongue in disappointment.

"You're too brave? What can you do? You don't even have someone to back you up. I'm just being nice to you since you are my son but hearing your nonsense right now, I guess you are better off alone like you said" she said coldly but I don't feel hurt. I'm used to her cold treatment after all.

"I don't care about the head. I will live my own life from now on. I'm already exiled from that family of yours. I don't need your help or anyone from that family" I couldn't care less about them.

"But you always accepted her help" she said in a sarcastic tone. "Y/N is different" I told her.

"Different? Isn't because of her that you have to live your life like that. That's why your father made that mess and died in vain?" she said as if mocking me.

"Y/N has nothing to do with it. It was father's decision and it was his fault" I defended her; I won't let her blame Y/N for that incident.

"In the end, she's still a puppet to be used by the head" her words made me mad. "Don't get me wrong, that's the reality of her. She accepted all that condition by herself and later on will be sued and thrown away as well when a new suitable heir will come. Although she's brilliant, it's peculiar for the Kim family to have a woman as their heir"

I know what she's saying but what's the point of saying it to me now?

"I heard that the head found a new heir" her words left me in shocked. A new heir?

"And what's amusing is that he is a guy. I heard that he was kept in their residence and was not allowed to go out since he finished his high school. I didn't even know, that damn cunning brother of mine was hiding a son all along. Though I heard he was illegitimate" she explained.

"Illegitimate?" I asked, curious. "Ho, what's this? Are you curious right now?" she asked in amusement but I didn't answer.

"Anyways, it's a waste to hang out with that sister of yours or whatever you call her. She will be replaced sooner or later so if I were you, I will accept the heads offer" she said and ended the call. I stared at my phone and then everything registered to me.

I bit my lips so hard that it bleeds.

So, for what did she fight for if she will be replaced in the first place? This damn family. I hate it.

I should talk to Y/N first.

Y/N'S POV

"President?" Seolhee came in the office with an envelope in her hands. "is there a problem?" I asked her, but she shook her head.

"Actually, some men in suits gave this invitation and it was address to you President" she said showing the envelope. My eyes widen seeing the insignia. It's that family's insignia.

Tsk. What do they want now?

I stared at the envelope for a second then sighed.

"You can leave it on my desk" I instructed and she nodded. After putting the envelope on the desk, I noticed that she's staring at me.

"What's the matter Seolhee?" I asked her. "President sorry for being rude and stepping out of the line but I just wanted to ask you this, that envelope, it came from your main family, right?" I looked at her and she looked nervous. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, there must be something important coming up so they are calling for us" I told her.

"But why now?" she asked confused but what I noticed in her voice is that she's upset. She stared on the floor.

"Why did they only call you now? where are they when you are facing such difficult times? They didn't show up or gave any encouraging words" she said with contempt. I can clearly read her emotions and mood right now.

"It's not a big deal. I'm not that close with them anyway. I don't even think of them as a family" I said. She just looked at me with a dumfounded look.

"But still" "Seolhee" I said cutting her off.

"It's fine. I passed through it anyways" I smiled at her, but she just looked gloomed.

"The truth is, Seolhee, can I ask you a favor? It's just between us. I already told Martha about it" I said in a serious manner. As far as I think about it, it doesn't make sense. The abduction in Jeju, Uncle's and Ong's words and him. Now that family. The timing is too great for it to be a coincidence.

"You can ask me anything president. I will do it and complete it with my utmost ability" she become fired up all of a sudden.

"It might add some work on your schedules though" I told her, giving her a heads up.

"It's fine. I don't mind as long as its President" she smiled.

"I'm sorry, as much as I wanted to do it by myself, but I can't. it's only you who can do it. don't worry I will compensate you for all the trouble that it will cost you" I told her but she just shook her head and smiled brightly.

"It doesn't matter, so what do you wanted to ask president?" she is eagerly waiting for something.

I need to play my cards now.

I looked at her and smirked.
