Chapter One
Twisted Illusion.Master Donghae, it's time to wake up." A figure stirred in his sleep before opening his eyes slowly and standing up from his bed with a groan"
"What time is it?" He asked his maid. The maid smiled before answering.
"It's 9 am. I waited two hours later than your usual waking up time as you have requested." He nodded before making his way to his bathroom. He had slept late the ious night due to an important business party that he had to attend. He expected it to last long but he didn't expect it to last until 2 am, he took 2 hours to return to his home and to take a shower before sleeping. He usually goes to bed at 12 am the latest, so he figured that he wouldn't be able to wake up at his usual time considering that he went to sleep before it by 4 hours only.
He continued to the shower and felt how his body relaxed under the warm water, he had to finish quickly and go to his work since he's pretty late already. Not that it matters if he was anyway since he owned his work place. He was 33 years old but he already owns multiple hotels across the world which he had inherited from his late parents. But that doesn't mean that he didn't work hard to reach his statue since he now owns one of the top companies in the world all by his own hard work which is amazing considering his young age. That’s why a lot of business men from different ages and statues respect him. But that doesn't mean that there is no one who despises him. A lot of people feel jealous over his statue. Thinking that he was born with a golden spoon and had everything already while they had to work hard and still not be able to achieve half of the things he had already achieved. He doesn't care about these people though, since he knows that no success can be reached without someone trying to put you down and try to make you feel bad.
Donghae then finished and walked out of his bathroom with only a towel wrapped on his waist. Walked towards his bed finding his suit already neatly prepared on it as always. He quickly got dressed before walking out of his room and down to his dining room.
He entered the dining room to find everything prepared already. He walked and sat down on his chair at the lead of the table before looking at the three figures sitting before him. They were his cousins, Siwon 22 years old, Sungmin 20 years old and Kibum 19 years old. His parents took care of the three when their parents died in a car accident when they were all young. They all grew up together. And now since Donghae's parents died since 5 years ago already, he's the one taking care of them now until they are able to completely take care of themselves and for them to each inherit their share in the inheritance.
"Good morning." He said smiling at them.
"Good morning Hyung, how was your night?" One of them greeted back.
"It was tiring, I felt like I was going to sleep the whole time I was there," He said, sighing at the end of his answer. He then smiled. "What about you Siwon? You said that you'll stay with your friend yesterday, I didn't expect you to come back so early." He asked while eating
"Oh. That. Ha ha. W-well, while I was with my friend Kibum called me asking me for help in his studies so I had to come back early." He answered with a nervous laugh. Donghae looked suspiciously at him before looking at Kibum to find him looking with a nervous smile at him. He frowned.
"That's odd, you never help Kibum in his studies, even if he begged." Donghae said while frowning at the pair.
"W-Well, you see Donghae Hyung, Kibum has his exams tomorrow so Siwon had to help even if he didn’t want to. Either that or Kibum fails!" Sungmin, the fourth person on the table, defended while the other two nodded their heads each with a nervous smile on their faces. Donghae looked at them now completely suspicious of their behavior.
"What is wrong with you guys today? You're acting very weird." He asked with a frown. He saw how they glanced at each other before Siwon cleared his throat and laughed awkwardly.
"You're just imagining things Hyung, maybe because you're tired since you didn't get to sleep well last night." Siwon said trying to make Donghae forget about the issue and Donghae could see that but he decided to just shrug it off. His cousins were always weird. Ever since they were young they would act weirdly and make Donghae suspicious only to find out that it was nothing important, like them tearing his favorite book or just borrowing his shirt or something like that.
Donghae sighed remembering that before shaking his head.
"You guys are hopeless." He said before standing up.
"I'll leave to work now. Take care of yourselves. And Siwon, make sure Kibum had studied well, I will not tolerate him failing. I will punish you two and you know that when I say I'll punish. I.Mean.It." He glaring at them making the boys shiver in fear. Seeing that, he smiled before turning around and walked away while waving goodbye failing to see the three boys sigh in relief.
"That was close." Sungmin said once Donghae was no where to be seen and the two boys nodded their heads relieved that that conversation ended.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Donghae walked sleepily to his office, he just needed to take some documents from there and he'll just return to his home and work there since there was nothing important to do today anyway. He quickly took his documents before walking to his car and returning to his home already feeling like abandoning everything and just going to sleep. He sighed at that thought.
"Yeah right, like I can do that" he said mockingly before yawing.
He finally arrived home after an hour of driving. He walked lazily to his office that he made for times like this when he just wanted to stay at home.
He sat down before looking with a grimace at the pile of papers he needs to finish before sighing and starting his work.
While he was observed in his work, he heard his door knock.
Knock…knock…knock
then stopped.
"Come in." He called but no one came in. He frowned when he heard it again.
Knock…knock…knock...
