Chapter 60
T/W: A lot of swear words.
"Doctor, how is the patient?" Y/N asked.
"Madame Park suffers a paralyzing stroke but she got here on time so she should be okay now even though her body is still weak." He paused. "Give her time and space to recover, she needs a peaceful environment. Don't let her stress out."
"Okay, thank you Doctor."
Everyone was relieved, finally she was okay.
It was already late at night: "Taemin Oppa, you should get home. I will take care of Grandma. Krystal is home, she needs you." Y/N said.
As nobody told Krystal about what happened today, they were afraid that she would be worried. Grandma had passed the critical condition now.
Taemin nodded then patted Jimin's and Y/N's shoulder. "Then I will get going, I am only a phone call away."
"Okay."
The time Taemin returned home, Krystal was sleeping in front of the TV. Her caretaker also waited for him home. Seeing him home, she stood up: "Mr Lee, you're home. I will go home now."
Taemin nodded and smiled.
He took off his shoes and put them on the shoe rack. He changed into slippers then walked toward the TV. He sat on the sofa and caressed her cheek before carrying her upstairs and placed her on their bed. He tucked her into bed and took a shower before going to his study room.
Krystal woke up and realized she was in the bedroom, she knew Taemin was home. But he was not there, he was definitely busy with work. He always works late at night nowadays. It made her worried so she pulled her blanket and wore her slippers.
Indeed the light on his study was on when she passed by. So she went downstairs to take a glass of milk and returned upstairs.
The door was unlocked, she opened the door.
Taemin's back was facing her as he was talking to someone on the phone. She was waiting for him to finish the phone so she could hand him the glass of warm milk but she got impatient as she was getting tired of standing.
Taemin was too immersed in his call, he didn't even notice Krystal was approaching to put the milk on his desk. "I will send Kim Yugyeom to you, take care of him."
Kim Yugyeom.
Of course Krystal is familiar with the name because it was the one who gave the drugs to Jun Seo so he could give it to Neon Yun to harm Y/N's baby. Not only that, he was also related to Jeon Jungkook's recent accident.
But Taemin was helping Jimin to look for Kim Yugyeom all this time, wasn't he?
She was perplexed but when she was about to ask a question, she heard him say: "Jeon Wonwoo..."
The sound of his name coming from Taemin's mouth sent chills down her spine.
Jeon Jungkook's step-brother, Jeon Wonwoo. The one who harmed Jungkook and made his legs paralyzed. The one who wanted to take over the Jeon company.
Taemin is talking to Jeon Wonwoo and planning to give Kim Yugyeom to him? At this moment, she was too dumbstruck to process, she went blank.
The glass fell down her grip while she was looking at his back, still couldn't believe what she heard.
Taemin turned his back to look at her and the scattered glass on the ground. Without caring about the broken glass, she even stepped on it to walk closer to him. She stared at him and asked: "Please tell me it is not like what I think it is."
But he only pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Looking at Taemin being silent, she snatched his phone and looked at the phone number on his screen, he was unprepared. She placed the phone on her ear: "Jeon Wonwoo..."
Taemin finally came to his senses and took the phone and cut the call off.
"Was it really Jeon Wonwoo?" She glared at him but he stayed silent. He also didn't avoid Krystal's deadly gaze on him nor did he intend to evade it.
With his silence, Krystal knew he admitted it was indeed Jeon Wonwoo. Her eyes became red but she still refused to believe it. "So you are the one who works with him?" She prayed it was only her imagination and that she heard it wrong, she wished he would deny it and tell her that she heard it wrong.
"Didn't you already hear it all?"
She became dizzy and her gaze started to be fuzzy. She took a step back but almost fell down. Taemin was fast to hold her.
"Don't touch me!" She tried to get away from his grip but Taemin didn't care, he carried her to their bedroom and put her on the bed. Even in the bedroom, he still didn't let her go. "Lee Taemin, you bastard! Let me go!" She kept on struggling in his embrace until she lowered her head and bit his hand.
Taemin finally let her go, but it wasn't because she kept biting him but because he was worried she might hurt herself and would affect the baby. After all the struggles, Krystal felt breathless. Her hair and her pajamas were a mess. She wiped her tears and stared at him.
He looked calm and stayed silent. They didn't talk, they were just there and staring at each other. Krystal was finally able to process everything, Taemin was Jeon Wonwoo's partner in crime. It was him to make the Park family sink into catastrophe.
She felt this cold kind of feeling come out from her body. She couldn't believe that the man she shared the bed with was a heartless man. Her so-called-husband was one who brought disaster to the Park family.
He was the wolf in sheep's clothing!
"Lee Taemin, how could you do it?" She coldly asked.
"You are the mastermind, aren't you? How long have you been planning all of this?" She started questioning him. "You take advantage of Song Han Mi's silly grudge and Song Jun Seo's greed to make Kim Seulgi and the Park family quarreled so you can kill Y/N's unborn baby so Joonie would also die. But thankfully because of Joonie's fortune, you failed to kill him. Then you keep attacking them by feeding all the directors with rumors so you can strip Jimin out of his power and position by manipulating the DNA's test. You even planned the death of Park Jae Kyung's assistant so they could put more blame on Jimin." She paused: "How could you do all of this, Taemin?"
But Taemin was still silent and staring at her.
Krystal was choking with her emotions, she couldn't stop her tears. "I can't believe I married a murderer, you probably didn't kill them with your own hand but you are a murderer! A cold-blooded evil!"
"Taemin, why did you do all of this?" Krystal was still trying to understand his motives. "Is it for the company? Oh, let me guess, is it to get revenge on your first love?"
"You keep on brooding your Grandma for separating the both of you and she died so you planned all of this?" Krystal's voice got louder.
"I can't believe you have a heart to do this. Does it ever cross your mind that Madame Park is your Grandma? Park Joo Hyuk is your uncle. And Jimin, he is your brother! How can you be so ruthless?"
"Grandma? Uncle? Brother?" Taemin chuckled coldly. "Am I ruthless? You have no idea what those people did to me!"
"That year when Lee family sank into a crisis, the company was in a moment of bankruptcy and the Park family? Not only they didn't help but they hit us down even further. If it wasn't for those two old people, the Lee family wouldn't be that tragic but they refused to help and they stole our major project that could recover the company. If they didn't do it, my family wouldn't be bankrupt and my parents would still be here. My mother was the only daughter of the Park family but her own parents treated her like nothing! Now tell me, who is the ruthless one?"
Taemin paused. "Now I am going to take it all, everything that belongs to me, everything that is supposed to be mine and the Lee family."
He suddenly clutched her jaw and forced her to look him in the eyes. "Don't you always want to know about my first love? What about if I tell you everything about her now, hm?"
His tone was gentle, it made everything even scarier but she moved his hand away as she felt disgusted by him.
"Do you remember the girl who pushed Y/N in front of the studio?" He asked her but she was blanked as she didn't know what to reply.
"Kim Seulgi's loyal fan who pushed Y/N and she almost got a miscarriage. You remember her, right?" He asked. "She was my first love's younger sister."
"When she pushed Y/N, her parents said that she is mentally unstable because when she was a kid, her sister was pushed down the river accidentally and died. Indeed she is mentally ill but it was because she saw her sister commit suicide by jumping down the river."
"You're telling me that...So, it was your plan from the beginning..." she stared at him: "How much hate do you have for the Park family that you need to do all of this? You even killed Y/N's daughter so Joonie would also die!"
Taemin held both of her hands and stared at her eyes. "He was going to die anyway until Jimin came home and tried to help him! I have to kill the baby because Joon Min is the only heir of the Park family. That old wicked woman loves him so much, if he's dead, it would be the end for them all!"
He didn't even get to finish his sentences but Krystal already pulled her hand away from his grip and slapped him in the face. "You are a monster!"
Krystal hit him continuously but he didn't stop her. When she eventually got tired and her palm was hurting, he held both of her hands again. "Are you done?"
She was breathless and couldn't even try to get away again. "Lee Taemin, you are a monster! You have harmed a lot of people, you won't get away with it!" She stared at him: "Don't you even dream to keep going because I will let Y/N and Jimin know about this. You really are a monster, they trust you and see you as family but you betrayed all of them! You want to ruin the whole Park family!"
Her words didn't faze him, he was just smiling. "If it wasn't because of them, my parents would not be dead, my first love would not be dead. Do you think Jimin is innocent? She died because of him!"
"I couldn't do anything, I couldn't even get out of the house because of those two old people. They even commanded someone to watch my every move. I begged Jimin to look for her but he didn't do it and then she died. My parents, her, all of them are dead because of the Park family! Shouldn't I avenge them? And do you think you will have a chance to tell them?"
"So it's true then, that you are only with me because I look like her, right? Do you even love me? Have you ever loved me? I was indeed blind, it was my mistake. But I won't let you hurt people anymore." Krystal paused. "I want a divorce."
Taemin only stared at her with his cold eyes: "Do you think you can get a divorce? Absolutely not! Not when you are carrying my child."
"I will get an abortion, I will get rid of this baby!" Krystal yelled at him.
"Watch what you say to me!" Taemin also yelled, it was intense and terrifying because he always had a gentle voice, especially when he talked to her.
He pressed her down on the bed while she tried to get away from him. Did he ever love her? Was he only with her because she looked a lot like his first love? Krystal felt so used.
"Let me go! I hate you, Lee Taemin! I fucking hate you!"
"Whatever, I don't care if you hate me or not." Even though he said that, Taemin was stiff when he heard the word 'hate' coming from her mouth. "You can do whatever you want, but a divorce? No way."
Krystal wiped her tears: "Even if I'm dead, I don't want to be with you!"
She saw her phone on the bedside, she quietly hid it under her pillow while Taemin wasn't paying attention. However her effort didn't work out because soon he noticed it.
There was a loud sound on the floor, he destroyed her phone. "Who would you call? Y/N?"
He pressed her shoulder, she couldn't move. "Krystal, just behave and be good. Stay by my side, I will treat you well. Just like none of this ever happened."
"I don't want to." Krystal glared at him.
"It's not for you to choose." Taemin was still pressing her hands on her shoulder.
"Let me go, you son of a bitch! Don't touch me!" At this moment, Krystal lost all of her senses, all she knew was she felt disgusted and wanted to leave him far, far away.
Taemin was still looking calm as ever. "Indeed you're right, I've never loved you and I am only with you because you look like her. Especially your eyes, they're simply an exact copy. All I see is her in you."
Krystal couldn't help but to feel hurt because she was in love with him. She was on the verge of mentally-collapsed. She still couldn't accept that her husband was the mastermind behind all the recent problems and now finally hearing he admitted that he never loved her and he only regarded her as a substitute.
She could only cry her heart out until she felt breathless and calmed down after a while. She stared at the ceiling as Taemin slowly let her go.
"I will remind you one last time, I will not let you go."
Krystal was still staring at the ceiling and didn't respond. He looked at her for one last time and he noticed her tears. "Just stay home and don't even think to call anyone because I will cut it all from this house." Taemin continued: "I will have someone to watch over you."
But Krystal was still quiet.
Taemin thought it was strange and when he was about to turn, he heard a sharp and clear sound. He immediately turned his head.
