BEYOND THE EYES

Chapter 2

‎10 years before...

‎-Jul I want the window seat, give it to me. Cris was noisily demanding, she had been in a ‎mood since they had in fact missed their flight and been forced to wait 2 hours for another ‎flight, since she insisted on flying first cla.s.s. But in Cris fashion she only threw her temper at ‎Jul, since Jul had always been the only one that could stand her capricious ways. ‎

‎-Stop giving people order it"s so annoying and that his definitely not your seat, Jae Young ‎finally snapped at Cris. ‎

‎-Did I asked for your two cents mister know it all how about you take care of your own ‎business. Zara swiftly darted past them and sat down. – Hey what are you doing why are you ‎sitting there? I want to sit there, get up.- Look at your ticket and tell me if this is where you are ‎sitting? Zara was already tired of having to accommodate Cris since they had left their loft. It ‎all started with the ominous "Klong" they had heard outside, Evan had drove his car right into ‎Cris brand new red Ferrari. And the two of them had started yelling at each other and fighting ‎making them miss their flight. Zara suspected that her brother had smashed into the car on ‎purpose. After all he had been trying to create an incident to incite Cris or her parents to annul ‎the engagement. Not content of simply being the sole heir to the Kim empire Evan wanted to ‎reach the top of his career. Like his twin sister Evan had receive all his mother grace and his ‎handsomeness was long a subject that could spark wars. Armed with that knowledge, Evan was ‎pure aloof arrogance where Zara was all humbleness. He had decided on a whim that he would ‎not inherit the family business and would instead join a modeling agency. Becoming the world ‎most famous top model was what he aspired to. But of course that news had not gone well with ‎his parents and he had found himself suddenly betrothed to Cristina Gredftel the spoiled and ‎only daughter to the Gredftel empire. ‎ And Zara had found herself with, with all the responsibility that were supposed to be her brother, and her parents, trying to micro manage her life at every turn. A loud "boom" resounded bringing Zara out of her reverie the scene before her was hard to describe.

Present Day....

Speeding on the highway Jae Young could not stop the sense of foreboding that was overpowering him. That letter how was it possible no one knew, it was a secret that had shattered his life and plunged him in an eternal loop of guilt. Suddenly the silence in the car is interrupted by a ringtone " ~...along the rivers, in a barge wait the ferryman, don"t drink the water of the lette river...~"

throwing a furtive look toward his cellphone Jae momentarily lost control of his car ,that number how was it possible ? collecting himself back up, with trembling fingers he swipe his finger across the phone and heavily whispered. "h.e.l.lo".

Zara"s meeting with the investors had run longer that she had antic.i.p.ated and her brother once again had not bothered to make an appearance, so she had been stuck with all the work.

At the sight of those words Zara"s slightly lost her balance and stumble in her chair, how was this possible? n.o.body was supposed to know, this secret that was wreaking havoc in her life.
