“I never said this to you before,” Kwan said, and I looked at him.
“What? You fancy me?” I asked with a grin.
“I knew about your Dad, but you never talked about it, so neither did I,” he said as he swirled the ice in his drink. “I think she is good for you. You deserve to be happy, man.”
I stared at him for a moment and wracked my brains, trying to think what gave me away because he was hardly ever at my house. We always used to go to his house.
“How did you know?” I asked before glancing at the girls again to see Nari sitting on Zofia’s lap.
“Gym classes, I saw bruises on you. We were always together, so I knew when you had been in—scuffles,” he said as he lifted his head.
“You helped get me out of there, and that’s all that matters. Although it’s a little weird if you were perving on me when we were kids,” I said with a snigger.
Kwan had lent me some of the money that I used to set up my first company. The rest I worked for with the numerous side hustles I had saved up from during my Uni days. It was a far cry from my rage fuelled violence in high school. I was lucky I wasn’t expelled from school back then. Yet, it was my controlled anger that drove me to success.
“Fuck you,” he said with a smile. “You’re the creepy bastard when it came to Nari.”
“I wasn’t about to let her slip out of my fingers,” I said as I frowned when I saw her give Zofia a sloppy kiss on her lips. It seemed to last a little too long.
After tomorrow those lips would only be on mine.
Chapter 24
Nari
Tae spoke to my Mum while they danced on the floor. The weather was mild for February, but the gold, ivory and dashes of pink in the decor made the hall look and feel cozy. The lights from the electric candles were perfect. My Dad stood at the side talking to my uncle and my beautiful bridesmaids spoke to some guys who came with Tae’s party.
They wore gold one-sleeved dresses that they both chose. I chose a white lace dress that reminded me of the Koreanhanbokdress. It had a delicate lace bodice but was much more fitted than the traditional dress. The lace covered my arms, neck and back with tiny pearl buttons that ran diagonally down the front. Suddenly, a glass appeared before me, and I turned to see Kwan.
“You guys planned the perfect wedding in such a short time,” he said with a smile.
“Thanks,” I said before I took the glass. “It was mostly Jenna and Tae’s doing.”
The only surprise was that Tae had both of our wedding rings inscribed with the words ‘Forever Mine’. It didn't surprise me that Tae chose a black platinum ring for himself. It was a stark contrast to my set of silver platinum ones.
“He looks happy, but I wonder if part of him is upset that his parents didn't come,” I said as I looked at Kwan.
He shook his head and smiled wryly. “Tae has been away from his parents for a very long time. As soon as he left for University, he never went back home. Does he look unhappy to you?”
I smiled when I saw him laughing with my Mum. A burst of emotions overwhelmed me when I saw him gel with my family. My Dad went onto the dance floor and said something to Tae. Since my Mum slapped his arm, it was probably something rude, but Tae bowed to them before he waved Aera over to him.
My sister looked like a princess in her full-sleeved golden dress. They all continued to dance, but Tae looked over my sister’s head, and my breath caught in my throat. His wicked eyes held the promise of what was to come. With just a glance, he has me clenching my thighs together. From the moment I’d met him, I had been attracted to him. It wasn't his pretty package that called to me. It was always his eyes. They were always on me, and they never lost their intensity in almost two months. He had made me wait until tonight, and I was so ready for him.
“Shit, you guys were made for one another,” Kwan said with a chuckle which made me blink, but Tae kept his eyes on me as he twirled Aera around with one hand.
I took a long sip of my champagne as I watched my husband.
Yeah, we really were.

We reached our room, and the butler held the door open for us. Tae scooped me up and carried me into the suite. I smiled at him as I put my arms around his neck. It was just as well the butler moved out of the way because Tae almost trampled over him in his rush to get me into the suite.
“Welco—” the butler began to say.
Tae grunted and looked around before he took me through a hallway. He carried me into a grand bedroom and slammed the door shut with his leg before he put me on the bed.
“Don't move,” he said as I began to sit up.
