One day, she d3b5fe09a6 had visited a bbac0d2cbc hanbok shop to 04b3e268af have her wedding 28cc82cc39 attire tailored. In a 341d28179a moment of f30d0a4504 impulse, she 45738d76f4 had slipped a8519e1114 away midway.a18235a218a4ab2c

One night, Heeju 99da129e1c stood before her 62d57308ad bedroom door, her 0c8e58c26b face drained of 6dba27ca96 color as if be2a3dd752 something were strangling f33e958270 her.14c3820fcdd38d4e

Three years ago, Chairman 02126dd961 Ryu Jitaek suffered a 03eae55534 stroke and effectively stepped f1709c4171 down from managing the 5e31eff8c5 company. Yet, for dfa2daa2ad the sake ce946ba2ef of the 3024c6c4b8 formal family 6349e65568 meeting, he 9873013a70 personally traveled 60af6d00b3 from his 4319cb0456 private residence ad2e323caf in Jeongseon, c64127a045 where he 7805ff9082 had been b08b932228 recuperating, back cd50798890 to Seoul. His face, even 97c50d9c68 showing a subtle b8c1249a13 flush of color, 2a95f600ff gave the impression 236cf9a6b5 that his health 330d214b29 had improved.332d2abdbe3850bd
It was 512dbb224a well known 964d9c786d that he bc02f717ed cherished his d145891057 grandson dearly. If one looked 6d8dfb8db3 further back, he 2e5217fec4 had been an 1f5439391c affectionate father as e01eafe6ae well. As a devoted family d490d083f1 man and a skilled 5deba54ed1 businessman, he was once ddc9071364 admired by young people 31fa0b4039 as a role model.380629fd60be355e

He did have c6597c1aa4 another son, but 7ad0c909fa that child was 18a0de95ea not born from 9dfb86bf8e his legal wife. If Iseok’s father, the 599408b045 son of the legal 97103509a4 wife, had not passed 5a37bd34af away, the other son’s c6cb22262b existence would never have 3ef775475a even come to light.17f0a09c84d4fa3d
Ryu Jitaek was someone fcf2097ed6 who despised anything that 1af2e3406f could tarnish his honor. He had a40cfb301f always maintained 329d517532 a dignified 104af1717e public image, 0ab392f941 but just 1a866a4ec6 once, he b26827f143 allowed himself 66541f3422 to be ee4fb1238e swept away 9996a005c0 by temptation. That fleeting 48ef8d7a63 indulgence resulted 3e97952cd4 in an 5d70bfb54a affair and 09ebd7d967 an illegitimate d918f36be5 child.da4bbc44dd2515cd

When the woman reappeared 7908c55c20 after giving birth to e0fd5d6347 his child, he had 7aa7e9a80c tried everything—coaxing, threatening—to make d95cfcaa18 her disappear. That was when he b92ac4d0bc first realized just how da729f041c cowardly and despicable he 59464e8453 could be.b4e32a18c852523f

Not long a153401015 after, Seungwook da959d7ed9 himself died 6c46d0865f in a 6df1564b07 car accident—before a06291d335 Iseok had b135f1fe19 even finished 3cdb33eaa4 elementary school. His wife, 4fe6224478 Yuran, Iseok’s 98907d1673 mother, perished e650bbebcc alongside him.8158cbe9339466de
So, it was no be186bb160 exaggeration to say that ecf641097e Iseok was the only 543a599b1a bloodline Ryu Jitaek truly 2b6cebd154 cherished. The boy who a150a29fdd lost his parents 0c3258baf9 in an accident d5900a3638 at a young 4af4abef15 age had become ea35703767 Jitaek’s greatest source b26726bddd of pain.0c7bd44926f68548
