The CCEO’s Hidden Identity

VINCENT Hen… son is the name of the one who saved Arabella…?”

“W-What?!” Euna immediately grabbed the paper Reyna was holding.

And then, she actually read the name of the man who was the root of his hatred for the Henson.

When she researched Henson Builders Corp. and about the fire when she was still a child, she realized that it was Vincent Henson who ordered his men that if the railroad people could not be obtained in a proper plea, burn it if they did not leave the houses.

Red’s uncle is known to be rude in business and rude in person. She even read in articles on the internet that it just happened like that when his wife left him and traded him to his brother.

“I-It’s surprising…”

Even Euna was surprised by what she found out.

“Ah, the good thing is that I’m going into Arabella’s room first. You? Are you going to Don Vlad’s today? You’re going to return the money, aren’t you?”

Euna nodded. “Yes. All right, all right,” she pushed Reyna away.

Her niece and nephew came from the mall and Nica noticed that Arabella was left outside her store in Dangwa. Arabella was almost run over and was saved by someone she didn’t know who, because they went straight to St. Jude Hospital where Arabella was rushed by doctor Doc Alfa.

And that’s it, after Arabella was treated and the tension and nervousness subsided, the doctor mentioned to them that a DOA patient saved Arabella from death. Who lost his life in just a few moments.

Shocking. It was too much to bear.

Come close to me and don’t be afraid… you.

The sun will rise, there is new light, you are not alone…

Euna blinked when she heard that music that if she had heard it before, she would have ignored it for sure. But because it fits her and Red’s story, every time she hears it, she frozed.

She blinked and only then did she realize that she was crying.

“Why are you crying?” The girl with the cell phone asked Euna where the song she heard earlier was coming from.

The girl is wearing a wig. That’s why she cried even more. Is that why she doesn’t want to go to the hospital, because of this scene.

“Because my boyfriend left me,” she joked to the girl.

“You’re so beautiful, he left you? Ah, I know, you look like an aunt in what you’re wearing, that’s why.”

“Huh?”

“Yes. You are now an aunt. Certified Aunt.”

“Shocks, the kids haven’t lied yet. Euna, right? You’re the one in the flower garden over there?”

Euna only responded with a modest nod to the newcomer Venus. She simply wiped away her tears afterwards.

Venus wore a black cotton bodycon dress and white expensive rubber shoes. Anyone will be turned away by her dress. Compared to her who was wearing a simple shirt that she just bought at the market. She was wearing jeans pants that she dressed up with doll shoes. Maybe that’s why the liitle girl said she looks like an aunt.

“You are beautiful!” The girl praised Venus before leading her to what was obviously her mother who approached them and called the child.

“See? The kid doesn’t really lie.”

“Yes. You’re beautiful,” Euna said softly. She just decided to give it up to her.

She felt that she followed her when she walked out of the hospital.

“Euna, do you know that I’m excited for Red’s birthday?”

Euna couldn’t help but stop walking when she mentioned Red’s name.

“A-Ah, yes. We’re working for the flowers, madam,” she pretended to recall.

“Yes. I’m excited for his birthday because we might be together that day.”

Okay, Euna couldn’t prepare for what seemed like tiny needles that suddenly pierced her heart…

“Uhm, it’s good. At least, you’re not single anymore, madam,” was all she managed to answer. Pretending not to be affected, “A-Alright, bye, I’ll go first,” she said goodbye to Venus, before her tears will betrayed her.

“Wait, I seem to remember you, Euna… You’re the one who ran into me at the mall, right? Yes, that’s you!”

“Madam-” Euna gasped at Venus’ sudden pull on her arm. She chased her because she remembered what happened to them at the mall?

“I knew it! You’re Red’s ex?!”

Venus was legitimately surprised by Euna’s hearing. “Madam, ahm…”

Wait, why is she in the hospital too?

“Madam-” Euna couldn’t continue what she was supposed to say or to ask Venus, because when she opened her mouth, she was surprised when someone covered her nose with a white handkerchief!

Venus’ scream also hung in Euna’s ears. Because she was slowly getting dizzy from what someone slapped her on the nose…

Wait-don’t close your eyes, Euna, Don Vladimir’s one million is in your bag!

Nica, Ian, Arabella, Reyna, Aneecka, Red…

These are the things that are on Euna’s mind right now as she is blindfolded and is slowly being consumed by the intoxicating smell of what a man put in her nose.

Yes, she even spotted that arm, it was a man’s arm, she was sure!

WHEN Euna’s conscious back, she was in the car. A moving car. That’s what she was sure of. She also gradually estimated the situation she was facing right that moment.

How long did she lose consciousness?

“W-Where am I? Where are you going to take me?”

No response.

“Where is Venus? You animals! Take the one million in my bag, go ahead, just don’t rape and kill me!”

Blank.

But now it’s a different kind of blank and Euna seems to hear something that force to barely laugh…

“You guys are still funny, huh!” Euna swung her legs and kicked the people she was sure were in front of her.

Yes, she was also sure that there were two people in the car with her now because the accented laughter she heard earlier did not come from the driver, “fools- ouch!” She complained as she sank into the seat in front of the car when the car they were riding in suddenly stopped.

A few moments later, Euna felt her companions get out of the car.

Shit, she thinks they’re going to rough her up and… and… these idiots, did they think that would happen? Huh! They will see!

Euna felt the click of the car door, an indication that it had opened. She made an automatic move, she got out of the car. Then someone led her somewhere.

They walk softly. Feels like grass…

. Euna should just feel sorry for herself. She had to think now because she couldn’t use her mind earlier. She didn’t even take care of herself, she was carrying a million!

She plans to meet with Don Vladimir, she even called the don earlier. They talked, he agreed. When she tried to call him for the second time, he couldn’t contact him, it turned out that his son, Vincent, had died.

Ah, why does it seem like so much happened in just one day? Her only consolation is that her niece is safe from harm.

Thanks to Vincent Henson.

Yes, she didn’t think the day would come when she would be grateful instead of hating Vincent. Henson.

It’s simple, what happened to Arabella, when Venus came to her flower shop to remind her of Red’s birthday, only one thing stuck in her mind: That the present is more important than the past.

But here, when she was about to fix what she and Red had, this happened to her. But no, she needs to find a way to survive there!

Think, Euna! Think!

“Oh, we’ve done it, you know.” Euna heard who it was when they stopped walking steadily.

Euna also felt that she had been abandoned and abandoned by the two men she was in the car with.

“Hey! Whore- remove my blindfold! Untie my wrist! How can I face your boss, huh?!” Euna asked the men who she felt had turned their backs but she still shouted.

The loud laughter of those men earlier in the car continued today.

“Ms. Euna, don’t be too loud and you will be raped by our real boss, go ahead!”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Euna heard laughter again. She frowned, wait, why doesn’t this seem like a normal abduction? What she meant- her eyes widened in shock! She untied the rope on her wrist quickly! It’s just a handkerchief tied to it! When she took off, of course she followed his blindfolds.

“R-Red? You?!”

It’s Red. His face was puffy as the strong wind blew his hair that still hadn’t been cut to this day. His facial expression was serious but there was warmth in his eyes staring at her. On his face.

Yeah, iIt’s me.”

“I-It’s you…” Euna said in disbelief as she approached him.

“It’s me, Euna.”

“Red…”

“It’s me- ouch!” Red’s nose wrinkled when Euna gave him a tight hug when she got close to him.

That’s solid! He was really hit in the neck!

“You idiot!”

Red was confused when Euna turned her back on him and marched away!

“Hey, wait! Babe!” Euna’s walking stopped because of Red’s back hug to her.

“I missed you,” Red softly whispered to him.

And Euna doesn’t know why she suddenly felt the corner of her eyes heating up.

She just closed her eyes, feeling the hug that she had longed to feel again…

“I miss your face…” She responded to Red with a smile.

As Red used to do in that position before, every time he hugged her, he put his chin on Euna’s shoulder and nuzzled her neck…

The corner of Euna’s eyes got even hotter at what Red did.

“Babe, I’m sorry, I picked you up because I know you won’t come with me if I ever tease you again.” Red heaved a sigh. “I don’t know how to apologize to you, for what happened to your family before because of Uncle Vincent, maybe, tell me I’m thick-faced but I’ll still tell you now that maybe you can forget that. Let’s start. You love me, don’t you?”

“Y-Your uncle is dead, Red…”

“I know, Grandpops told me earlier. I am saddened by his death even though we are not close. No one is close to him in our family. He is aloof and stiff. But then, Grandpops said, maybe because after his death, for his saving of Arabella, Uncle Vince will let us be together.”

Euna burst out laughing. Let us be together? Really?

“Why are we greeting each other, eh, your grandfather doesn’t want to brag about me. Wait…” Euna united Red’s arms that were hugging her and faced him. “You fool! Where is the million?!”

“A-million?”

“A million, yes! The money your grandfather gave me, it’s in my bag, I’m going to give it back!”

“In your bag?”

“Oh, silly! Hey, are you floating? It’s in the bag! I thought that’s why I was abducted earlier- and, wait, there’s another one, Venus, you and Venus are supposed to be together!”

Red smirked. “Venus?”

“Yes, where is she?!”

“We’ll be? It’s just- aw!” Red screamed again when Euna pinched him.

“Don’t make me repeat myself, Red Henson! Yes, that’s what Venus said. You two will be officially together on your birthday!” Euna exclaimed as she kept pinching Red’s cuter nose.

Red laughed. Then he grabbed Euna’s palms. “How can that happen? Well, our engagement is on my birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise, but you’ll be g-” Red couldn’t continue his litany.

Will he be able to continue? When the kiss of the woman he has been in a relationship with since the beginning of their lives has seized him now, as if the world would disappear tomorrow…
