There"s nothing better than what belongs to you To an independent woman, there"s no such thing as "our money" when she didn"t have a part in making it . Even if they were married, she would still feel uncomfortable . Knowing you have absolute and unlimited control or authority over a thing, especially money is a good feeling . Was she to sit and do nothing while he works? Should she stay home all day while he goes out working? What would she be then? How would she achieve her dreams?
Kim, an avid fan of dramas had seen a lot and wouldn"t want her life to be one . Regret is something she doesn"t want to ever feel . Women totally dependent on their man end up with regrets as most of the time, the men loose sight of their worth, treating them without respect . "You"re nothing without me . " How many times had she come across this phrase in a drama? She couldn"t remember but the feeling it left to the victim is something she was familiar with . She didn"t want to end up like that . A life where you only rely on another without a purpose, ambition or even a simple dream isn"t worth living . If that man is taken away, or love betrayed, you"ll only think of ways to end your own life .
The main cause of suicide is the loss of something precious, something you"re totally dependent on, in most cases, love . When you have nothing else to rely on, you won"t be able to cope with that great change, which would lead to depression . From depression, to a slit wrist . Just like withdrawal syndromes drug abusers face . What exactly is the difference?
She understood she had to take a stand now or else he would try to cage her later . As for the self-defense, she forgot about it . She only focused on the part he said she didn"t need to go to work . There"s a saying, "An idle mind, is the devil"s workshop . " This is self explanatory, once you have nothing to do or focus on, you begin cultivating wrong thoughts . And thoughts lead to action . In short, when you"re busy, you leave no room for temptation .
She doesn"t mean to spite stay at home wives, in fact, she commends them for their courage . It takes great courage to stay at home, caring for the family, abandoning your dreams and living soley for your family . But a woman is more than that, a woman has dreams too, she should be given the option to chase those dreams . Not caged like a pretty bird . Sometimes, the caged bird is forgotten and left to starve as the owner admires a bird in the wild . Because in that cage, a bird won"t be able to display it"s beauty, it"s strength, it"s grandiose . It won"t be able to display itself, what makes it a bird .
As she sat on her bed thinking of their argument, she didn"t know when he entered into the room and sat beside her . "I"m sorry . " She heard him say . She acted like she didn"t hear him . "I won"t try to stop you from working again . You can do as you please, it"s your life anyway . . your happiness comes before anything . But you have to think about learning martial arts, it will help protect you . " Without waiting for her reply, he showered and left the house .
Kim again failed to register his message as she only focused on, "you can do as you please," she was hurt by this phrase . She didn"t like it . She who lived in an orphanage understood it meant, "I don"t really care about you, destroy your life if you want . " It only meant he did not care about her . As she watched him leave, she didn"t try to stop him, after a while, she also headed for Madam George"s Restaurant .
Of course Carl was unaware of her presumption, he only wanted to make her understand she was in control of her life, he wasn"t trying to take charge . He just wanted to ease her burden and also protect her . From the attack, he learnt that his enemy knew everything about him, if he could easily identify his team leaders and also walk into his company, then he would also know about Kim . He couldn"t a.s.sign bodyguards to her without seeking her permission and couldn"t tell her there was a threat to his life either . He didn"t want to make her feel unsafe in her own house .
He drove straight to Gla.s.s Security while pondering over what she said earlier, "Just because we kissed . . . " He recounted, smiling . Although he was smiling, it didn"t reach his eyes . Pushing aside his thoughts, he walked into the building, it was very busy as they were still installing new protective measures in the company . He went straight up to his office before calling for the brothers . He needed to find this new threat before he strikes again . At first, he wasn"t planning on doing anything, but now, things are different, he had to protect her .
