Kim Jin Woo
As I think of that name for God knows how many times, I wasn't aware that I'm crying and I'm ripping the news paper that the death of my parents was the content of it. This was two years ago, exactly on Wen's birthday. 10 days from now, it's her birthday, and I feel so anxious, I feel like something bad will happen and I don't want, at all cost, to happen that again. Never.
"Naeun?" I heard the voice of Aunt Hyekyo calling me outside my room,
"Yes, aunt? Come in." I said and hide the ripped newspaper,
"Are you alright? Did you cry?" She asked me worriedly and wipe the excess tears that is visible in my face.
"Ohh-- that, i'm sorry. I just can't help to think about her safety." i said and heaved a sigh
"I know, i know. But all we can do now is think ahead. We have to act fast before he gets to Wendy and even you." Aunt hyekyo said. Right, we have to act fast before he do something that may harm Wendy and my family.
"What did Inspector Lee recommend about this?" I asked her,
"Your uncle is discussing about that as of now, they are downstairs. Do you want to join them?" Aunt hyekyo asked me,
"Yes." I said firmly, I saw her smile at me and we go downstairs to join Uncle and Inspector Lee on the discussion.

"So what do you want us to do?" we heard Uncle Joonki asked, and we stepped in.
"Naeun, what brought you here?" Uncle Joonki asked me as soon as he saw us arrived.
"I want to know the plan." I said and he just nodded, he instructed Inspect6or Lee to discuss it once again so that I can grip their discussion.

"So the plan is, stay as it is. We all knew that Mr. Jin Woo's family is behind the death of your parents, and he also knew where he can find Wendy. He also knew that we already know him. He's family is powerful, so acting recklessly would just cause chaos. The only thing we can do is to tighten the security of the both of you, but having so much bodyguards would just make it more obvious." Inspector Lee said,
"Thus, being personally capable of fighting is one of the option, hiring a personal trainer for the both of you will help increase your safety. Though, if you agree, we can hire someone immediately. But due to the condition of Wendy, hiring a personal bodyguard would only be her option but if you can insist her, that's better." inspector lee added,
"That's not a bad idea, it's also for our benefit, but for wendy, i don't think so I can persuade her. Maybe i'll ask seulgi about it so that she can talk to wendy." I answered. Yep, seulgi might be able to insist her.
"Alright, but those personal guards will not be on your side, they will be looking and watching you from a far to lessen the risk" Uncle joonki said.
"Just make sure to keep an eye to that boy, uncle. Wendy's birthday's coming up, I don't want anything to happen two years ago now that she's out again." I reminded them,
"We will. We won't promise, but we will do our best to protect Wendy and the rest of you. That's our promise to your Parents." Uncle Joonki reassure me, i smiled at that.
"Alright then, the plan is settled, I'll call Seulgi and the rest to be informed about this. Is that okay?" I asked them,

"I don't think it will be a good idea, but, maybe just a few of them, the trusted ones, we don't know that maybe one of them is just a spy. Just be careful" Inspector Lee reminded me,
"You should not trust people easily, Naeun. I hope you should know that." Aunt hyekyo stated,
"Yes I know, Mom and Dad always remind us about that." I said, just thinking about them makes me so said, and at the same time angry. I will seek justice for you two, and our family.
"That's right. Up you go now, I heard that there will be a meeting of the board of directors today. Prepare yourself now. We will take care of this." Aunt hyekyo said,
shit! I totally forgot about the meeting.
"Oh! Yes yes, thank you for reminding me about it. Will you come to the meeting by the way?" I asked them,
"We will, if we have time, we still have to finalize this plan. But we will be there." Uncle Joonki stated.
The company and Wendy is all that is left for me. Luckily we have Aunt and Uncle to help and guide us. When our parents death became the spotlight, many of our investors also withdraw their shares, but with the help of the company of Aunt and Uncle, the reputation of our company is slowly getting to its place. It's hard, more even for me. Since then, I was working my butt off just to familiarize myself on how this business works. And it's hard for me because to what happened, emotionally and physically I am exhausted, scared and anxious if I'm doing it right. Wendy was he only source of strength I have. I have to bring this company up once again, so that Wendy will also bring herself up again. I know, she knows that this is the only thing we have.

Ever since they were kids, Odion sensed something otherworldly about his twin brother, Apollo. The night their foster parents were murdered confirmed what Odion had felt all along. Seven years have passed since that fateful night, and those paranormal events still haunt Odion. Something far beyond human comprehension lurks within Apollo, and keeping it a secret is of Odion’s utmost importance. However, his deepest fears rise to the surface when a list of grisly murders takes place the night of their high school dance, making Apollo a prime suspect. Knowing the police will be no match for him, Odion embarks on a mission to take his brother down—even if that means he dies trying. Apollo knows he’s innocent of the crimes that took place the night of the dance. But with virtually no way of clearing his name and nearly every task force unit in the province of Ontario searching for him, Apollo is forced to make a decision. Sacrifice his freedom for a heap of crimes he didn’t commit or defend his rights by unleashing the monster he had buried within, even if that means many innocent lives will be forfeited. The Monster Within is the first book in Marcel Jones’ urban fantasy series A Life of Fear. If you liked Vicious, Carrie, Akira, or Chronicle, and you want to be transported to a world where having superpowers could end up costing you your life, you will love reading this page-turning thriller.
