Vincent Chae, CEO of The Chae Foundation and a single father, faces a dire situation. He must marry quickly to retain custody of his beloved children. Just when all hope seems lost, he crosses paths with Eliza, a struggling student who becomes the n...
I woke up cuddling with Vincent a smile crept on my face remembering last night. I looked at my husband, who was sound asleep, his hair were messy and his face was peaceful. I tucked a strand of his hair, which was on his face. Yesterday night was absolutely amazing. I looked down on the floor and was greeted with the sight of our clothes lying there. I was in one of Vincent t-shirt, it was quite big for my body but it was comfortable none the less.
I looked at the time, it was already 8 am. As amazing as yesterday was it was also exhausting, we definitely overslept. I decided to get up, the kids could come back from Archer's house anytime now.
As a sat up on the bed I was pulled back down again on the bed.
"Where are you going?" Vincent's groggy voice came. His eyes were half closed still.
"To get ready for the day, the kids will come back anytime." I smiled at him.
"Hmm, stay here for just some more time." he pulled me even closer.
"Absolutely not, it is already late." I pushed him away.
"So, you are choosing you kids over your husband?" His eyes finally fully opened.
"Yes, now you also get up!" I got up.
"I don't want to," He whined like a small kid.
"You have to." I pulled away his comforter. "Come on, get ready, you have to got to office."
"Only if I get a morning kiss." He sat up against the headboard.
"Excuse me," I gasped.
"You are absolutely not excused. Not before my kiss." He snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me back to him.
"Really?" I asked seductively. He nodded.
"Only if you close your eyes." I said and he immediately closed his eyes.
I knew what I was going to do. I slowly moved towards him, taking my time. Just when I was close enough to his lips I kissed his cheek and jumped off of the bed.
"Hey! That's cheating," He opened his eyes.
I stuck my tounge out and ran out of the room. He didn't come after me so I assumed he must have gone to get ready for the day and so did I. After getting ready in my old bedroom, I went down to make breakfast for us. As I was making the waffles Vincent came up from behind and held me from behind.
"What's with the romantic mood?" I asked him.
"Can't I show love to my wife?" He asked. I blushed. He slowly kissed my neck. I leaned into him. he turned me around in his arms. He was in his business suit. One thing I will always brag about is how handsome my husband looks in literally anything but especially in suits.
"Good morning, my wife." He murmured against my lips and kissed me slowly. I locked my hands behind his neck. His hands slowly travelled up my thighs. His lips went down on my neck. The doorbell rang surprising both of us.
"Who the fuck is it?" Vincent whispered frustratedly. I laughed and went to get the door.
It was Martha. "You look chipper today."
"Good morning to you too Martha." I said.
"Who is it, Eliza?" Vincent asked.
"Me!" Martha answered.
"Morning," Vincent greeted her. I sat down opposite to him to dining table serving myself some waffles.
"What are your plans for today?" Vincent asked.
"I have a group study session with Heath and Makenzie today. My finals are nearing." I said.
"Do you have to study with him?" He made a face.
"Awww, is my dear husband jealous?" I teased him.
"Yes," He said.
"Yeah, well don't worry. I don't think Heath's boyfriend will approve of me and him too."
"He has a boyfriend?" Vincent asked.
"Yep. They have been a couple for three years now." I told him. My alarm are went of at that moment. "Shit. I gotta go. See you later." I got up to leave.
"Not so fast." Vincent got up and pulled me to him. "Give me a kiss first."
"Seriously, what happened to you? When did you become so lovey dovey?" I asked.
"Since I met you. Now, time for my kiss." He said. This time we took our own sweet time until we heard Martha cleared her throat from behind Vincent.
"Seems like this marriage worked out." She said while clearing the table.
"Seems like it did." Vincent took his coat. "Come on, I'll drop you."
"What about the kids coming home?" I asked.
"Archer said he'll drop Yu Eun to kindergarten and then drop Ye On with Martha." Vincent said.
After studying, I decided to surprise and pick Lily up from her kindergarten. Then we decided to eat some ice cream. As we were standing near the ice cream truck someone tapped my shoulder from behind. It was man dressed on black and wearing a mask and cap. It was honestly scary.
"Who are you?" I took a defensive step back.
"There is no need to afraid of me ma'am. I am here to help you. I just can't show my face right now." He said in a hushed voice.
"What nonsense are talking?" I asked.
"You are Eliza Chae, Vincent Chae's wife right?" He asked. I hesitantly nodded.
"I want to help you win the custody of the kids." He said.
"How do you know about that? And who are you?" It shocking that someone knew about this.
"That is not important right now." He pulled my hand ahead and put piece of paper in it. There is a place and time mentioned there, meet me there tomorrow. Also I have written a phone number in it, save it. It will be really helpful for you."
"What the-"
"Until tomorrow," He tipped his cap and walked away.
What the hell just happened?
I opened the piece of paper and to my surprise it wasn't handwritten instead it was printed. The message in itself my scary.

I should talk to Vincent about this later. I thought and shoved the piece of paper in my bag.
"Ma'am here are you ice creams."
"Thank you." I payed.
When I turned down to Lily she wasn't there. I looked around but couldn't find her. Panic flooded me, "Where did the little girl who was with me go?" I asked the vendor of the ice cream truck.
"I don't know, but you can look around this spot. Children usually wander off." He said.
"Yeah." I started looking around for her but I couldn't find her anywhere. It felt like my heart was about to stop beating. After spending 30 minutes looking for her I decided to call Vincent. I knew he was going to go ferral but I had no other choice.
