PROLOGUE

Jina’s POV

“Jina!!!”
Mom runs after me and pushes me out of the way. The vehicle hits her, sending her body a few meters away from where I am.
I run towards her and shake her awake. “Mommy!!!” 
Tears start falling from my eyes. “Mommy!”
She barely opens her eyes to look at me. Her face is all bloodied and she had bruises on her face and body.
She smiles at me not knowing it would be her last. I hug her and the next thing I know, she’s gone. She left me...

-------------------------------------------------------

I opened my eyes and I’m back inside my room again. I sit on my bed, resting my back on the headboard. With my head down, I stare blankly on my blanket. 

I’ve been having the same dream the past few days. It must be because I’m feeling lonely again.
I don’t have a lot of friends. I don’t easily open up to people. While I do have one good friend that I’ve known since I was a kid, I still find it hard to share personal issues with her. Mom was the only one I felt comfortable with. I felt like I could tell her anything. She was the type to just listen and calmly tell me whatever she had in mind. I don’t even know if she ever lectured me or raised her voice at me.
Ever since Mom died, I tried to distance myself from people. I never wanted to become close with anyone again for fear of getting hurt if I lose that person.
No attachments, no pain, I told myself.
So I decided to put up walls around me – keeping people from seeing the real me, the vulnerable me. So far, no one has ever tried to break them down, to tear through them – not even my family. Well I don’t expect them to, anyway.
Father never really liked me. He’s always favored my older brother and after Mom’s death, he seemed set to make me suffer even more. Father wanted Yugyeom to inherit the family business; however, he never showed any interest on taking the helm. He only wanted the money, his share of our family’s wealth. With no other option, Father appointed me to run the business with him – a perfect way to make me suffer.

My painful past made me who I am today – a typical businesswoman who doesn’t have time for friends and romantic relationships. Anyway, my father has plans for me and I don’t have a choice but to agree, right? 
Then again, I wonder...
Will I ever get out of my Father’s grip?
Will I ever be able to open my heart to someone?
Is there anyone out there brave enough to break through my walls?
Just how likely are these to happen?
I wonder..
