It was already past midnight when Shin arrived at his penthouse. He immediately went to Yeri's room and found her sleeping soundly.
Shin's indifferent expression softened, his eyes gleamed with warmth and adoration, the corners of his mouth curveda gentle grin.
Lying next to her, Shin just stared at Yeri's delicate face for a long time, like a man who just found his greatest treasure, his eyes trailed every part of her face.
Eversince Shin's mother died and unpleasant events befell after, he closed his heart and suppressed his emotions, living only for one sole purpose - revenge to those who cause his mother's death! It is for that reason Shin lived with the Keir household despite his deep hatred with the clan, although his father's existence helped Shin survived especially at a young age, it was still a living hell for Shin all those years.
Now, he is like a god who stood on top of everyone! the epitome of success, the man who have everything! with his power and wealth, Shin got his revenge but it isn't over yet- the real masterminds were still in hiding.
Shin never really thought he lived an empty and lonely life, he just put his mind and time at work to continually find leads in relation to his mother's death.
love? happiness? fate? whatever pathetic terms it is, to Shin this are non-existent and they are nothing but foreign words, his world doesn't need such ridiculous things!
Yet he didn't expect Yeri's sudden appearance would cause a major turmoil in his world! she didn't just passed by but planted herself at the very core of his being. All of a sudden, Shin finally realize what 'living' really means.
Her existence made him human capable of different emotions, painting his dull world with colorful hues.
He still couldn't dismantle why Yeri has a large impact in his life but why go into minor details? maybe it really is true...you don't need a reason when loving someone.
She's like a drug, constantly filling his mind and can instantly vanished his pain and weariness.
Shin gently hugged Yeri tightly, careful not to wake her up, he was exhausted after the banquet. He might looked indifferent in front of everyone but somehow with Yeri he can be himself, not just the ruthless and arrogant CEO but also his wounded side. "Yeri, i don't want a world without you...its your fault, you made me addicted to you...so you are not allowed to leave me, i won't let you leave me." Shin whispered.
Unfortunately, Yeri is completely oblivion of Shin's thoughts, she also exhausted herself from roaming around the mall earlier and is sleeping like a log.
"goodnight my love..." Shin gently kissed Yeri's lips and close his eyes with a serene expression.

Next day
[CEO Shin Keir dumped fiancee Calin Wang last night]
[Dream engagement between Shin Keir and Calin Wang unreal!]
[CEO Shin Keir mercilessly slammed fiancee after caught cheating!]
[CEO Shin Keir - SON OF A MISTRESS!!!]
[Truth about the no. 1 tycoon!]
[Shin Keir a fake and heartless man!]
Countless news and articles started circulating around, demeaning and condemning Shin. The society is in uproar again and fans of both parties were debating over social media sites.
Is the engagement really real or nothing but just a rumor? if so, then who was the woman in the paparazzi picture?!
Did Shin used and dumped Calin Wang after a one night stand? is the famous mysogynist really a sexist or the other way around?
What really dropped the bomb and shocked society is the news of Shin being the son of a mistress! if this is true, why would the Keirs let an outsider reign there business? as the no.1 family in the country, it is ludicrous to think! orthis could also mean there's no one capable enough to take on the position?!
Countless speculations continued, however considering Calin's popularity and image, majority of the people took sympathy on her and criticize Shin. A number of her fans rallied at the K.V empire, some were coaxing people to shun the Keir businesses, products, etc. and appeals for Shin to step down the CEO position went popular over social media sites.
Elli Keir and his family were having a sumptuous breakfast, such an auspicious day deserves a blissful meal.
Today is there long awaited moment to finally get rid of the worm leeching over there family, Elli knew the Wangs wouldn't just sit back after what happened last night, he only provided a hint and they didn't hesitate to reveal the bastards true identity!
Elli chuckled, a smug smile plastered on his face. "mother did you see the news? this is bad, it seems like we can no longer hide the truth about Shin." Elli helplessly said over the phone.
"hmph! let him be, this will be a lesson for him for disrespecting me!" madam. Keir scowled.
"we should have an emergency meeting with our investors, I'm afraid this will affect the business now that his reputation is sullied."
"alright, i will ask your brother about it."
Elli's expression turned grim, since they were kids he was always Allister's shadow and he has enough of it! "what for?! did you forgot he was the one who put his bastard in position? mother, Allister is aware how his bastard is treating you but he didn't do anything at all, if he disciplined Shin properly he wouldn't be this insolent to you."
Madam Keir went silent for a moment, convince she agreed to let Elli handle the matter with the business.
