Chapter 5 - Kiaraa's Warning

'Why is this bitch suddenly acting like a nice person?' Aera thought, boiling in anger.

A woman in her early fifties, Ji Seo Yun rubbed Aera's arm lovingly, asking her to calm down.

She wanted to assure her that everything would be alright.

Aera turned to look at the elegant woman, who was as upset as Aera right now, "Mom" Aera softly called her, almost crying.

Ji Seo Yun is Song Ji Hun's mother.

She always wished for her son to marry Aera but few months ago he went against everyone's wishes and married Kiaraa instead.

Ji Seo Yun, never liked Kiaraa and was upset with her son's decision.

After Kiaraa's sudden demise, Ji Seo Yun was very happy and tried her best to convince her son to marry Aera instead.

Today she thought finally Aera was going to be her daughter-in-law but now, everything was ruined because of Kiaraa's sudden appearance.

"Shhh, don't let anyone see through you" Ji Seo Yun whispered softly and asked Aera to compose herself.

It was clearly evident on her face that she is upset to see Kiaraa alive.

After her parents' and elder sister's demise, Aera was technically an orphan as her immediate biological family was gone.

Right now, after finding out Kiaraa is alive, Aera was supposed to be happy but the two sisters never shared a close bond in spite of being blood-related.

Their relationship is worse than step-sisters.

Ji Seo Yun asked Aera to not be so obvious about her dismay towards Kiaraa.

Hearing the suggestion of the woman, Aera loves even more than her own mother, she tried to act composed.

"Kiaraa, you are right. You must be tired now, please go and rest" Grandpa Lee patted his granddaughter's head and pointed at the farmhouse behind which belonged to the Lees asking Kiaraa to rest there.

"Thank you all for understanding" Kiaraa respectfully bowed to everyone and walked towards the farmhouse.

On the way she saw Ji Seo Yun pacifying Aera.

'Somethings never change' Kiaraa laughed in her head.

She was planning to ignore the two women but then she thought, why should she?

"Mom" Kiaraa stepped towards the graceful woman and tightly hugged her.

Ji Seo Yun almost lost her balance when Kiaraa suddenly hugged her putting her whole weight on the that woman.

"Kiaraa, be careful" Ji Seo Yun shouted at her unpleasantly.

"Sorry mother, did I hurt you?" Kiaraa innocently questioned her mother-in-law.

Ji Seo Yun, was even more pissed when she saw the act of innocence Kiaraa was putting forth but because of her son, she controlled herself from being rude.

"No, you didn't" Ji Seo Yun coldly replied.

Kiaraa smiled at the woman and whispered in a low volume, "I am sure, mother must be upset to see me here as I ruined her darling Aera's wedding but save your perturbance for future as I am going to make your Aera's life a hell. She will need you even more at that time."

Kiaraa, who started speaking politely suddenly turned cold and vicious by the end.

Aera and Ji Seo Yun were the only two people, who heard Kiaraa's warning as the three women were standing a bit farther from others.

The two women were frightened by Kiaraa's warning but they were helpless as right now, if they say anything against Kiaraa, it won't be well received.

"Take care, mother. I'll catch up with you later" Kiaraa winked, casually speaking to her mother-in-law before stepping inside the farmhouse and headed straight to her bedroom.

This farmhouse in Boseong County was bought by her father.

It was their occasional holiday home. It was also her mom's favourite place and every décor in this home, was personally selected by her mother.

It was a place, big enough for everyone to have their own individual rooms.

Kiaraa entered her bedroom, and right in front of her there was a big photo frame, hanging on the wall, seeing which made her emotional.

She totally forgot about this frame.

Kiaraa stepped towards it and observed the picture.

In that photo, her mom and dad were looking extremely proud and happy. This photo was clicked on the same day when Kiaraa secured her first client in her own business.

That day, everyone was proud of her.

Kiaraa wiped the drop of tear flowing from her eye.

At that time, she took her parents and their love for granted.

Only after losing them, she realized their true value.

Kiaraa always thought they died in some car accident but just a month before she was attacked, Kiaraa found out there was a conspiracy behind her parents' death.

Since then, her heart was not at peace and she decided to delve deeper into this matter, only to become a target in the same conspiracy, which almost made her lose her life.

'Mom, dad, I promise you. Whoever was involved in your death, would get the worst ending possible. That is my promise to you' Kiaraa closed her eyes and swore revenge against the people who separated her from her family.

RING!!! RING!!!

Kiara's attention turned to the continuous ringing of her phone.. Annoyed at the interruption, she looked at the caller ID and frowned when she saw the name that flashed on her screen.
