"Oh, Miss Kim?" The professor or the music instructor immediately greeted her the moment she saw her standing by the door.

 

 

She's such a very beautiful professor. A known piano prodigy when she's young. Had travelled across the world to showcase her talent in shows and concerts where in Kim Eunji happened to watch her concert one time when she was still sixteen. How and why? Because she had to kill the latter's father Demetri Gurib.

 

 

The man was said to be a terrorist leader and someone paid their union to make the man gunned down to death. The only opening she saw was when the man attended her daughter's piano concert in Macau.

 

 

Her name's Angelina Gurib. Kim Eunji could still remember how Angelina cried after seeing her already lifeless father with a foamy mouth on the ground.

 

 

He's the only relative that she had and then Asia or Kim Eunji came and took his life away.

 

 

Later on, she (Kim Eunji) found out that it was one of the terrorist member, his right hand to be exact, who paid the Union to kill him. His reason, Demetri had gone soft because of his daughter. And was now having doubts of whether continuing the path that he had chosen. Samuel, the guy, thought that he was no longer suited to lead them. Therefore he together with the other members of the organization made the decision to kill him.

 

 

Of course, they could not do that alone. Demetri was stronger than them.

 

 

So, they hired someone capable. It was her. Her sixteen year old self.

 

 

However, what was bugging in her mind was that when she was about to kill him, Demetri didn't even resist. In fact, he was calm. When she asked her of what was his last wish, he calmly replied, "To finish my daughter's show one last time."

 

 

Of course, she gave him that.

 

 

To make sure that he won't run away and call for help, instead of watching it on the first raw, they watched it on the VIP box.

 

 

And as promised, the moment everyone was giving Angelina the applause and praises, Kim Eunji executed her mission.

 

 

She killed him by letting the latter to drink poison.

 

 

The news of Demetri's death broke the global news. Who was he? Aside from being the mysterious terrorist leader, he was known as a business tycoon. A legend.

 

 

But what made Kim Eunji angry was that when she found out that the man wanted to change for the better, because of his daughter.

 

 

He wanted to quit from the organization he had formed out of his anger from losing his wife. However, he couldn't because Samuel wouldn't want him to.

 

 

He also found out that Samuel's father had planned all of this even before he died. They were the real terrorist and was hunted down by the authorities and had no choice but to keep a low profile to blend with the civilians. They were looking for someone wealthy who would be their cash cow to bring their plan into fruition. Unluckily, Demetri was the perfect candidate.

 

 

They planned it all. It was Samuel's father who had been poisoning Demetri's mind that his wife was having an affair with another man. Also, the members he had recruited were the remaining members of their terrorist group.

 

 

He was being deceived big time.

 

 

Upon knowing this, he wanted to expose them however, he was not able to do it.

 

 

Samuel was holding a trump card against him which was Angelina herself. The 17 year old Angelina was in a relationship with Samuel. The father and daughter had grown quite a lot of misunderstanding without knowing that it was Samuel who had sewn conflicts between them.

 

 

So, if he would tell Angelina that it was her very own father who killed her mom, she would definitely believed him over her dad. And because of that, Demetri was afraid that his daughter would resent him and would leave him for good.

 

 

Demetri didn't intend to kill his wife, it was an accident. They were having an argument because he was blinded by jealousy.

 

 

Angelina's mom was just like her, a pianist. She's very beautiful, too. While her father was an ordinary looking Russian man who's only advantage was the thick money inside his pocket.

 

 

Demetri was always insecure every time some man approached his wife. Angelina's mom didn't want to stop playing as it was her passion to play music for people who were always eager to hear her play.

 

 

One night, he was drunk when he came home. And then, Samuel's father told him that Clara, Angelina's mom was sleeping with another man. He was very angry that he stormed on their sleeping chamber. He confronted her, of course she denied it because it was not true. But because of the influence of alcohol, he became muddle-headed and had choked his wife to death.

 

 

Samuel happened to see him taking his wife's lifeless body together with his dad while discussing on what to do. She was already dead.

 

 

And now, Samuel was using that against him.

 

 

But Demetri was determined. He quitted from the organization and Samuel did what he promised. He exposed his crime making Angelina angry.

 

 

However, Samuel underestimated the love between the father and daughter.

 

 

After everything that he had done. After all the misunderstandings that they had, she still forgave him in the end.

 

 

And because of this, Samuel had no other choice but to assassinate him.

 

 

Kim Eunji also found out later on that the reason why Demetri didn't resist his death was because he was actually dying that time. Stage 4 Leukemia. So it was like she had saved him from long agony.

 

 

As Kim Eunji knew of that fact, she went back to those people and killed them all. That was the first time she executed mass killing.

 

 

The sad part was that when she killed Samuel, Angelina saw her. And she was three months pregnant with their baby.

 

 

She hid her pregnancy from the public. It turned out that that was her last performance because she had the plans to retire and build a family with Samuel.

 

 

However, instead of having a happy life as her husband Samuel, she was a battered wife. And Demetri didn't even knew about that while he was still alive.

 

 

Angelina loved them both so much that she didn't want them to have a misunderstanding.

 

 

However, it was too, late. Her father was dead because of Samuel. The man she loved. And she knew that Samuel was selfish but she loved him. But she never knew that it was Samuel who ordered her father's head.

 

 

But what broke her heart was that when she learned of Samuel's plan after she delivered their baby. He planned to kill her right after delivery. He already had the heir and he didn't really love him so why keep her? All he cared was her wealth.

 

 

So when she saw a young girl cold-bloodedly killing Samuel, she somehow felt relief that finally she was free.

 

 

She didn't hate the girl for killing Samuel, on the opposite, she was thankful. The two even chatted but Kim Eunji had learned how to put up some walls and not to be attached to her victim's relatives. She also sprayed Angelina the gas which made her forget about everything. Especially her face when she killed Samuel that night.

 

 

Angelina did forget about her face and only remembered that Samuel was killed by someone. However, she could never forgive the person who killed her father.

 

 

Now, as Kim Eunji saw her again after eight years, she wondered if the drug she had used still had its effects on Angelina. Did she still forget about her? About what happened that night?

 

 

The only thing that was comforting her at the moment was that her face back then was covered with scars. So even if she regained her memories back, she won't be able to recognize her.

 

 

"Miss Kim? Are you, okay?" Angelina's voice rang in her ears pulling her out from her deep thoughts and be back to the present.

 

 

"Are you okay?" Angelina repeated her question.

 

 

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry." Kim Eunji reassured with a gentle smile on her face.

 

 

"Good, take your seat at the back please." Angelina told her.

 

 

"Thank you Prof."

 

 

She then looked for a vacant seat near the front. Well, they were discussing about history of classical music.

 

 

She carefully listened how those geniuses like Beethoven and Chopin created their masterpieces.

 

 

After a quick discussion and an educational argument on who's the better pianist between the two, the whole class decided to play the piano.

 

 

Of course, Professor Angelina showed her prowess to everyone.

 

 

Now, Kim Eunji could not help but wonder what happened to her in this eight years that she hadn't seen her.

 

 

She also found out that she's a Luo now. And was married to the young Master Luo of the Luo Family. Another influential family of the country.

 

 

She had not much knowledge of that family because they're pretty mysterious compared to the Mo, Bai and the Hua.

 

 

They also seldom interact with the other families in the circle.

 

 

Angelina started playing one of Beethoven's Sonata, Beethoven's No. 29 B Flat major op. 106.

 

 

When she was done, everyone gave a round of applause for her.

 

 

"Thank you everyone. I really appreciate this." She sincerely told them.

 

 

Kim Eunji could really tell that Angelina is very gifted. However, she frowned when she recalled the first time she heard her playing the same piece before.

 

 

It was quite different. It sounded different than now.

 

 

"By the way class, we are tasked to perform this coming Friday and also this coming Founder's Week. Actually, all of the Performing Arts Department Students were given the task to perform. So I would like you all to group into five and decide on what piece you want to perform during the party."

 

 

The students did what they were told and decided to group themselves. However, many hesitated whether they should let Kim Eunji to join them.

 

 

They were really intimidated with her. Kim Eunji could not help not to sigh deep down.

 

 

This was one of the reason's why she didn't want her identity as Nathan's wife to be exposed. Now, the students were avoiding her.

 

 

"Are you okay, Miss Kim? Class, can you let Miss Kim join your group?" Angelina asked the class.

 

 

"It's okay Professor. I'd prefer doing a performance alone. And besides, I'm not originally from this department so our schedules might be conflicted when having practices." Kim Eunji told her.

 

 

"Are you sure?" Angelina asked back.

 

 

"Yes." Kim Eunji said with finality.

 

 

"Alright! Since everyone's settled with their respective group, class dismiss. See you tomorrow." She told everyone and then focused her attention to Kim Eunji.

 

 

"Miss Kim, would you mind if you'd stay for a while?"

 

 

Kim Eunji didn't mind at all.

 

 

After her classmates were gone, Angelina approached her.

 

 

"Are you really fine with this?" Angelina was worried because of her students' reaction towards Kim Eunji.

 

 

"Don't worry. I completely understand them. If only Nathan didn't show up and blew up my cover." Kim Eunji remarked which made Angelina to laugh.

 

 

"Indeed. Having a very wife doting and overbearing husband could be a handful sometimes." She commented.

 

 

"Indeed! Speaking of which...I have to go. I still have to check on him." Kim Eunji's gaze became gentle when she thought of Nathan.

 

 

"Alright, I won't hold you any longer. I don't want to lose my job because I hold my boss' wife." Angelina joked which made Kim Eunji to chuckle.

 

 

"Bye Professor Luo. I had fun today."

 

 

"Hahahahhaha. I thought you felt bored. Well, if not for passion, I don't think those students would enroll in my class. Ordinary students would find classical music boring."

 

 

"Well, not for me. I find it interesting! Okay. I gotta go!" Kim Eunji waved her hand as she bid goodbye.

 

 

After her music class, Kim Eunji decided to go and check on  Nathan.

 

 

As she walked towards the building, Kim Eunji was greeted by a lot of faculties on the hallway. They thought she was going to visit School Director He. Only a few from the faculty knew about what the top floor of this building was. For privacy reasons.

 

 

But when she was about to push the button it opened which made her heave a sigh of relief.
