Dara grabbed the cradle of the cordless phone inside her bed room and dialed Jaejoong's number. She waited while half of her mind was listening to the ringing from the other line and half was wondering at her unwanted memory from the last night's event. When she went down for breakfast this morning, Chae Won told her that Jiyong still hasn't back since last night. Dara gave the old lady a cold and nonchalant shrug but deeply she felt a painful clenched over her heart.

Dara shook her head and tried to concentrate on the phone when she heard a familiar voice from the other line.

"Hello?" came the voice from the other line.

"Jae?"

"Dara, what's up?"

Silence followed before she answered. "I need your help, please."

There was a pause again. Jae was taken aback by Dara's urgent and pleading voice so with a serious tone he answered. "Okay, I'll be right there."

Dara brought the phone back to the receiver and started to throw all of her clothes inside her wheeled bag. She did not bothered to neatly fold her clothes. All that she wanted was to get out of this place as soon as possible. With heavy feeling on her chest she closed the zipper and rolled the bag on the wooden floor and walked towards the door.

Six steps near the base of the stairs, Chae Won exited the kitchen and was surprised when she saw the blonde heiress carrying her baggage. Her thin eyebrows met and stop near the stairs with puzzled expression aimed at Dara. The blonde lady averted her caramel eyes away from the old lady.

"What's the meaning of these Dara? Where are you going?" the old lady asked with worried face.

"I don't have time to explain things to you Chae Won, I just need to get out of here immediately." She bitterly answered while she continued her way towards the main door. She stood on the porch where she decided to wait for Jaejoong.

"But what will I tell to your husband?" the old lady continue, following Dara towards the entrance of the manor.

Dara was silent at first. There are many things she wanted to tell to the old lady but she stop herself so instead she heaved a deep breath and glanced at the old lady with cold and contained expression.

"Tell him... I'm divorcing him." She said with straight face, Chae Won was obviously shocked at her answer but the old lady wasn't able to utter her astonishment because another voice cut her off.

"What?"

They both turned their heads to Jaejoong who just got out from his pick up car. He wore the same shocked expression as the old lady. Dara exasperatedly sigh.

"Please don't ask too many question. I wanted to borrow your car. Can you lend it to me? I want to go back to Seoul today."

Jaejoong's frowned deepened. "What divorce are you talking about, Dara? Did you have a fight with Jiyong? What's wrong?"

"Jae, please, I don't want to talk right now. I'll have someone return your car by tomorrow so don't worry." She answered impatiently.

He shook his head. "No, that's not it, Dara. Fine if you don't want to tell me anything but I won't let you drive."

"No, Jae. I don't want Jiyong getting mad at you as well. Just give me the key so I'll be on my way."

He shook his head, determined. "No. Jiyong be damn but I won't let his wife drive especially on that condition. You're emotionally upset and I can see that you haven't got enough sleep as well. You'll endanger yourself with your condition. If you want to go home, fine, but I'll drive."

Dara chuckled bitterly. "Alright, I don't want to argue with you anymore. As long as I'm out of this place." She said and dragged her wheeled bag to the back compartment but Jae snatched her bag and was the one who placed the bag on the compartment.

Dara murmured a 'thanks' at him before giving the still astonished Chae Won a quick nod and got in inside the car. Jae quietly started the engine and drove off, fully aware at the tension emitting from the blonde lady sitting on the passenger seat next to him.

Jae dropped Dara on the prestigious Empire Hotel. Guards and employees greeted her and help her with her baggage. Jae escorted the still silent Dara up to the top floor. She told the bell boy to leave the bag on the entrance. Standing on the door way, Dara faced Jae and softly smile.

"Thanks for driving me off, Jae. I'm sorry if I cannot let you in though." She said.

"Nah, it's okay. Here." Jae handed a folded paper to Dara. "That's my apartment address here in Seoul." She frowned at him. "I sometimes go here in this city and stayed on that apartment. I'd probably stay here for few days so if you wanted company just give me a call or go that address, okay?" He explained.

She tried to smile and nodded. After a minute of silence, Jae said his good bye and walked towards the elevator. Dara, as soon as Jae turned his back, gently closed the door. The handsome man glanced at the closed door and sigh sadly. He roamed his eyes around the luxurious lobby of the said famous Empire Hotel.

What a lonely woman you are Dara, despite all these wealth. He whispered to himself and entered the elevator.

Dara entered the only bedroom of the place and dropped her body into the soft mattress. She felt tired, really tired with all these emotions in her chest. She wanted to cry, she wanted scream, she wanted to throw things out but she choose not to. She's Sandara Park. She grew up with firm control over her emotions. It'll be a disgrace to stoop that low.

Besides it was her fault as well. She forgot her own rules, especially the golden one and let herself helplessly fallen in love with Kwon Jiyong.

She sighed before pushing herself from the bed. She decided to take a warm bath and then sleep these problems. Tomorrow she's going to tend to her VISA going to New York, where Bom and her boyfriend and future husband Seunghyun, were staying while preparing things for their upcoming wedding. She'll probably stay there for good. She's going to transfer the main office from Korea to New York after settling things, like her divorce arrangement. Pain stung Dara thinking about the separation but she instantly pushed the thought.

She walked over her closet and grabbed the bath robe and white towel. After one and half hour, she settled herself in front of the red mahogany dresser. Preparing to dry her golden tresses, Dara pulled the drawer of the dresser only for her to freeze when she saw two rectangular pieces inside the drawer.

Those are the one point five million won cheque payment she gave to Jiyong before going to Busan. The first was the half of the payment she gave before their wedding and the second cheque was the outstanding balance that she gave before leaving Seoul to Busan.
