《THE FORGOTTEN DAD》CHAPTER 26
Advertisement
"You will not ever going to leave me. Ever!"
The shouting was a violence in the air, a way to take the anger from Mark and transfer the tension in Y/N. He didn't just raise his voice, his muscles tensed and he got right in close for maximum impact. After that he knew she would give in, soothe him, mother him, give him whatever would keep the peace. That's the weakness of her. She is the type of person who can't stay in mad with him if he suddenly turned into a monster.
These many years, most of them beautiful, some brutal, I have earned your trust. I have never strayed, betrayed, abandoned... but been stalwart, true, loving. I have shown over and over that I would do anything in this world to keep you safe, yet still you mistrust. I thought you knew my heart. Now that you've shown your hand all I feel is numb. You misread me and then feel bitter, angry, though all the while I was simply doing my best to take care of you. My heart still beats, but against a chest that feels hollow. My eyes still see, yet the world that is so close around me seems far away. My mind begins to shut down, unwilling to think anymore. Perhaps this is shock, I'm really not sure. All I know is that I keep on pouring in love, hoping for the day I have earned redemption for "crimes" based on nothing but false perception.
If the shouts were visible they'd be reaching over the air, strangling the life from Y/N. As the words got more bitter it would be possible to see why she gasped for breath. Well nobody know who and how is the real Mark Tuan. The possessive, hot tempered Mark Tuan. He will make sure he gets whatever and whoever he wants. That's his number one rule he keeps, the one that make who is he today.
He crumpled harshly the agreement paper between him and Jennie and threw it to the floor. Just one person running on his mind right now. Jeon Jungkook. That bastard might already found the evidence of his evil plan and send it to her straight away. Like cmon', he married to Jennie and of course the possibility for him to get this paper is very high. Hate and enmity welled up in his heart, fury itself burning him up. He will make sure Jeon Jungkook gets pay on what he had done today!
"How can I leave you, Mark?"
Her dark eyes looked as if an ocean had been encased inside of small glass marbles. Then the smooth spheres appeared to be cracked; the ocean had started to leak, little water droplets streamed down Y/N's rosy cheeks.
"How can I ever leave you when I'm pregnant of your child?"
She walked in weak towards him and sobbed into his chest unceasingly, hands clutching at his jacket. The noisy sobs echoed through the empty house. Everything surprises him today. That's the bonus of having low expectations, expect nothing and people will surpass it with ease. High expectations are just a one way ticket to resentment, he can't live that way.
Mark quickly pushed her away from him, still being in denial on what he just heard. Now she's claiming that the baby is from him? He doubted it actually!
"You wanted me to be responsible to this baby too? Just like Eva?" he shouted to her as his glare keeps staring at his fiancée.
"Mark! How could you say things like this? This is our child!" he responded with an evil laugh when he heard she said the baby she's bringing right now is his child. Prove it, Y/N! He was sure of himself that this isn't his.

"Do you think I'm fool enough to you, huh? I'm done with you, Y/N!"
"What are you talking about?"
He lets out a smirk on his face after seeing her who tends to don't know anything.
"Don't act like you're too innocent. You think I didn't know that this child is Jungkook's!"
He squeezed her shoulders and started screaming at her then he slapped her and he shoved the table destroying the glass vase and the glass shuttered everywhere. He will not let himself to be cheated over and over again by this bitch. She doesn't know yet what Mark Tuan capable to do!
"Now tell me, Y/N! You slept with him while I'm not in Italy isn't," said him while pulling her hair. He saw Jungkook went out from their house on that night and he keep giving her chance to tell him about it. But what happened? She never told him about Jungkook coming by or at least a beautiful lies that might comforting his uneasy feeling. There's must be something that happened between both of them and today he already knew why. She's pregnant again of that bastard's child!
He then pulled her down to the floor... her back sticking on the glass pieces then beating her in a violent way and she could do nothing but burst in tears not even ask him to stop knowing that this makes him more angry ... feeling his shoe going through her stomach but she can't take the pain anymore crying "stoooop pleeease , pleeease just stop" ..these wounds and broken bones might cure but one thing won't for sure the scars that are on her heart the guy that she trusted did this too her she can't even believe it.
"Stop it Mark! You will kill this baby!" her hands keep protecting her stomach, preventing him from kicking it.
"Daddy! Stop! Please do not hurt Mummy like this!" Eva screamed to him as her small body tried to defend her mother that been abused by him. But he didn't care about this small child anymore. Mark quickly pushed her aside, making the poor Eva stumbled on the floor, crying hysterically.
"Mark!" she yelled out of his name when she saw he treated her daughter this violent way too. He just could not resist what appear on his way. He was too mad right now.
He knew when he saw her eyes brimming with tears that he should relent, that a decent person would show forgiveness. But he felt a frisson of excitement that transcended his better nature and pushed him on. Only when she was openly weeping and broken would he stop. He'd feel guilty of course, but that never stopped him before and it wouldn't stop him this time. He enjoyed abusing her too much.
"Send her to Jungkook if you don't want anything happen to her like you too. But you, my love, will not going anywhere. We still have a wedding to catch on, aren't we?" said him smirking while touching her bloody cheek gently.
A searing shot of pain ran up the young woman's body, a scream escaping her pale lips as the devastating sounds bounced off the living room's walls. A man sat opposite the weeping woman, a broken vase by his side. His hands were firmly clasped under his chin, a gleeful grin stretched across his face. He was handsome, yes, but his charm had long gone. His hair was longer than before and unruly and dark circles outlined his blood shot eyes. His skin was paler than it once was, as he hadn't been outside for quite some time, but the Seoul weather probably wouldn't help recover the loss.

He didn't seem at all bothered by the screams that came from his victim. If anything, he seemed amused by her pain. His stony eyes stared down at the twitching body before him as if he were inspecting a freshly plucked turkey, all ready to go into oven. The flames that licked up the sides of the fireplace reflected off the beads of sweat that had settled on the woman's forehead.
Her agony was his entertainment.
After a time, her screams had subsided and her tormentor had grown bored with her silence. Sending a single kick to her stomach, Mark stood and left, but not without giving one last lingering glance to the woman he claimed to love.
"Just wait for his death,"
༻♡༺
"Why you still wanna marry that cheap woman?"
"Oh, mom. Cmon'! I love her,"
Mark walked to his desk and neglecting his mother who stopped by to his office today. He knew that his parent never give their blessing to his relationship with her. But who are they to force him not to marry her. This is his life and he chooses her. With his father is now gone, its make things easier for him to do whatever he wants.
I told you I love you and that makes me unlovable. I said that I care and that makes me the target of your hatred. I brought you gifts, poured affection into your life and you attacked me over and over. You leave me with insides contracting, cold. You leave me with a heart that explodes in my chest, clammy skin and hyperventilating as I lean on a wall. I would still be a person you know if you would extend your hand, but I know that you won't. And the words that play in my head are from my father: "If in life your heart acts like a gun, the person you face is a monster."
"She's a single mum, Mark. And Jungkook's ex-wife! What will other people say especially my friends if they come to your wedding soon,"
He rolled his eyes and keep distracting himself by focusing on his paper work rather than listening to his mother's nag. Nothing could change his mind to marry Y/N even though Mrs. Tuan herself. She should aware by now that it's just wasting of her time tried to convince him to change his decision. Wedding must be pursue whether she liked it or not.
"Mom, she's pregnant," he said with a hope that it will keep his mom shut. His mother narrowed her eyes as soon she heard what his son had said.
"No, you're not!" he chuckled when see his mother's reaction. He knew what his mother's thought of this sudden news.
"Is it yours?" he nodded while giving her a smile.
He was just an average person someone would see on the street. Perhaps a little kinder, though. He had a lot of friends which he would go out with and would always pay the bill. But once you get to know him, it is too late. That very day he invites you to his home to drink champagne, will be your last day. As he carries a drunk you to the bedroom, you already know you are dead. Then he lashes out his belt and starts whipping you. The torture begins. But you'll never know when it ends. It was his addiction. A psychopath. A torturer.
I am nothing more than a visionary with a dream. I don't care what you think of me as long as you obey. I acknowledge that I have odd methods, but they work. I know what life should be like and I understand that many things and creatures are inferior to me. In my position it is simply mercy. I know if I don't save her with the wonders of violent, they will die in the horror of Jungkook's.
Evil rubbed his hands together in that classic way villains do, he wasn't about to pretend to be anything other than what he was. He enjoyed it, to him making more money, taking more power was only a game. He placed his moves and sat back for his opponent to make the move he knew they would. Really, where was the challenge in that? But it was more fun than not playing at all. His moves were all variations on the same thing. Being rich it was simple, first offer your "deputies" money with some power mixed in, that pretty much worked every time. They sold their morals, ignored their moral compasses for such low prices and the price was falling every day.
Same goes to Jungkook as well. That bastard sold his pride and family only to save JK Group. And yet Y/N still sees him as the person she fall in love with long ago.
I love you, Y/N but you clearly don't love me anymore...
After his mother left, his secretary came into his office and informing him that he will receive a guest. Well he didn't aware of this as there's no in his schedule that he has any appointment today. Until the unwelcoming guest appeared in his office.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Tuan," said that guy, handing his hand for a handshake.
He also pulled out his hand and replied to him. "I'm sorry but who are you?"
"Park Chanyeol from Park Legacy," replied that guy who was claiming him as Park Chanyeol. He then gave Mark his business card before sit himself down on the couch without asking the office owner itself. What a rude guy!
"President Park?" said him after he takes a glance on his business card. Mark saw him nodding arrogantly.
"So what can I help you, Mr. Park? Do you want to rent our hotel for your guest?" he said only to see Park Chanyeol lets out a laugh. Why did he feel like this guy was mocking him right now?
"I was wrong, Mr. Tuan. There was nothing left in you, no good, no kindness, no love. Only a monster." He looked at this strange guy who tends to broke their gaze by looking his office's surrounding.
"Who are you exactly, Mr. Park? What are you trying to play right now?" he tried to calm himself down and avoid starting a fight with him. Park Chanyeol never knows who is him and his true colours yet.
"I thought by giving up could bring her happiness seems like she only trusting you but right now Mr. Tuan. I can't. I can't let her to be with you anymore,"
Who is he talking about? Deep down in his heart, it strongly said he was mentioning about his fiancée. But how both of them knew each other? Park Chanyeol and Y/N? Is there any history between these two?
He lets out a small laugh.
"I don't know what you are talking about..."
But before he could continue his talk, he saw him pulling his phone out from his pocket and calling someone. Wow, what a rude guy, he thought.
"Wonwoo, how's the thing going," said him while smirking towards Mark. Why this smile making his heart felt uneasy. Something had happened for sure.
"Really? Did you left anything behind? How about CCTV?... The bodyguards?.... Aha... Send her to the Sky House... Make sure no one follow you behind," he saw him hanging up his phone but his glare towards him never left from his face.
"You heard em'. Please don't be too surprise if you realize there's no more your fiancée when you get back to your home later,"
Mark narrowed his eyes and his jaw rooted when he knew what already happened at his house right now. He took her away from him!
"Who do you think you are, Mr. Park?! She is my fiancée. That means she is mine and no one else will take her from me!" he ended up yelling to this unknown guy.
"I will make a police report as a kidnapping crime!" said him again. But what did he get in return? Park Chanyeol seems like he didn't afraid of his warning and bursting into laughing so hard.
"Proceed whatever you want to do. I'm afraid you're the one who ended up in prison for abusing a woman, Mr. Tuan." He saw Park Chanyeol stood up from the couch and came near to him before pressing his shoulder.
"I ain't Jungkook that you can defeat so easily. In fact that my reputation is so much higher than your family, I advise to you to never testing my level of anger. Just forget her if you don't want to be hurt or at least think about your mother,"
He's loosing his mind...again. He can feel it unraveling, the threads of every happy memory he could ever once recall, all but a disarray of strings scattered about his feet. His sharp knees dig into the earth as he hits the ground, his hands unsteady as they silently claw at the dirt. He opens his mouth, but not a sound comes out, his head violently quivering as if there is a drill to the back of his skull. His eyes see nothing; they have lost all sight of what is and what could have been. His mouth is open, an eternal silenced scream, saliva dripping from behind his teeth and onto the ground, stained with the memory of those he ever loved.
Within a second, the door was slamming opened harshly from the outside. Both of him and Park Chanyeol turned towards the door only to notice Jungkook's wife, Jennie with her red face. She also look freaking mad right now.
"Ah, now it explains everything!" said her while making her move entering his office. Not only her but it looks like she brought his men too. Why the hell Jennie brought his bodyguards into his office now?
"You and Park Chanyeol are friend now? Is that it?" Jennie shouted at him as soon as she stopped in front of him. He looked at Park Chanyeol who also might lost with her sudden appearance.
"You jerk!" Unexpectedly, she slapped on his face hard, making him stumbled a little bit aback.
he shouted at her while his hands keep touching his red cheek. His anger started to boiling up inside when seeing these two strange people came to his office and starting to attack him.
"Both of you are gone too far this time! You guys wanted to kill Jungkook because of what, huh? Tell me? Because of his ex-wife and JK Motors? You gotta be kidding me! Seriously, I never thought you both could ever meet and plan this kind of evil act!"
Mark was so surprised when Jennie suddenly accused him as a reason of Jungkook nearly to get killed. He never done that! Yes it's true that he once planned to get rid of him but he will not do anything stupid and immature like this.
"I do not kill him! Why would I?" said him making Jennie turned to look at Park Chanyeol. Yeah it might be this jerk. He's the one who kidnapping Y/N from him too so the possibility that he done that is quite rational.
"Seriously, Jennie? Me? Kill Jungkook? Have you lost your mind?" responded Park Chanyeol when Jennie keeps glaring to him. If Park Chanyeol didn't plan this and he also never send any guys to kill Jungkook? Then who might be? Who wanted to kill Jungkook so badly?

8 281The Strongest Species
Humanity won. In the war against the supreme dragons, humanity wrested victory from the literal jaws of the dragons. The strongest species lost their title and was cast down in history as ancient creatures, devoid of any civilization. Their cities, culture, and civilization were completely wiped out, with only the oldest of mages and greatest of anarchs remembering them. Humanity took the achievements of this immortal race and claimed it as their own. Humanity flourished. Now, a thousand years after the war, humanity has forgotten this primordial race. Unbeknownst to even the greatest of humanity's saints, the dragons did not lose to humanity just because of humanity. They had their own hand in their own defeat. But just like they were a cause in their own destruction, they will cause their rebirth without the help of any creature. The dragons will rise again. It's time to reclaim the title of the strongest species.
8 179Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.
