Chapter 293 – (Abduction) Lee Shin-Ah’s Bad Ending
Lee Sin-ah, whose brain has been flying since childhood, did not like children’s books very much.
It was because her unrealistic and implausible ending, such as ‘The prince and the princess lived happily ever after’, could not convince her.
However, when that fairytale-like thing happened to her, Lee Shin-ah wanted that unrealistic and improbable ending to happen to her.
She hoped that she would live a long, happy life with her master, who had all her aspirations.
“Lee Shin-ah. Love you. My true love is only you.”
And she actually thought her first 4 months or so were all different to that ending.
Having succeeded in remodeling Jung Sung-min’s mind, she began to covet Jung Sung-min like a female in heat, and her Jung Sung-min also coveted her.
The two loved each other and wanted each other like a couple in a movie who overcame a dramatic crisis.
Jung Seong-min was sincere with Lee Shin-ah, and Lee Shin-ah could feel her happiness in Jung Sung-min’s love.
It seemed that the future was full of only happy days.
But.
“You… Are you lying? Huh? That strange rumor… Isn’t it? Right?”
When such a life entered the fifth month, rumors about Jung Sung-min and Lee Shin-ah spread far and wide in the back world.
Jung Seong-min, who took care of her own women and her forces, was crazy about Lee Shin-ah, so in a way, this was a natural result.
And the rumor eventually reached the ears of Jung Hyeon-jae.
“Say something! Let’s do well…! Let’s do well with me!”
Jung Hyun-jae, who is arguing with Lee Shin-ah with a face full of despair.
However, Lee Shin-ah could not say anything.
Anything she said was just an excuse, and she couldn’t say anything to appease him.
All she could say was sorry.
“Sorry… I have no face to see you. I have committed a very great sin against you. I’ll take any punishment.”
An irreversible situation.
Lee Shin-a decided to pay her price for deceiving her Jung Hyeon-jae and making her own son her lover.
She said that if Jung Hyun-jae told him to die, he really meant to die, so she told him to punish himself.
“…Ah…Ahhh…”
However, Jung Hyeon-jae did not become a human being of that nature.
Punishing someone, hating someone, or wanting someone you loved to suffer.
He, who was the pure gemstone that only loved Lee Shin-ah all his life, did not ask Lee Shin-ah for anything.
He just hugged her mercilessly torn heart and bid her farewell.
“I… I’m leaving this mansion. Now, I can’t stand it any longer. No more…”
Who turns around and leaves.
Seeing the back of her, she sat down in her seat and shed tears.
Just because she fell in love with Jung Sung-min as a man, it did not mean that she did not love Jung Hyun-jae.
At first, he didn’t like that he didn’t live up to his standards, that he didn’t have the ability to prove his choice was right, but in the end he truly came to love him.
She truly loved him for being the pillar of her heart, who cherished and cared for her endlessly.
However, she changed again because she could not deny her desire to lust for her son, and she betrayed him again who accepted her.
There was no second chance now.
“…”
After that, Lee Shin-ah suffered from depression.
The loss of her lifelong partner, her husband, was more void than she thought.
However, Jung Sung-min did not agree with this at all.
“Are you okay. I’m with you. Now your husband is me. Nothing to worry about.”
“…”
Even though his father has left this mansion forever, he doesn’t even care.
Lee Shin-ah started to feel uncomfortable with Jung Sung-min at this point, but she tried to ignore it.
I have been connected with the master I have longed for so much, what more do I want here?
Jung Hyun-jae’s departure was the result of his own choice, and he was the one who had to deal with it.
Lee Shin-ah decided not to regret changing Jung Sung-min.
“My father passed away.”
“…”
However, it was only for a while that I made up my mind like that.
Three days later, Lee Shin-ah collapsed at the news that Jung Hyun-jae had committed suicide.
She went straight to Jeong Seong-min and started asking what had happened.
Since Jung Hyun-jae’s current condition is uneasy, she has asked for thorough care over and over again.
“… I think her men didn’t keep an eye on it properly. He has already been executed for that crime and hanged himself.”
Jeong Seong-min’s subordinate who was decapitated for not properly monitoring Jung Hyun-jae.
However, in Lee Shin-ah’s opinion, Jung Seong-min was not able to handle the work properly.
There were too many suspicious corners to simply dismiss it as the fault of a subordinate.
So Lee Shin-ah sent her subordinates to investigate, and as a result, Jung Hyun-jae was completely neglected.
Without any care or protection.
Lee Shin-ah took the evidence and challenged Jung Sung-min.
“…Because you keep obsessing over Jung Hyeon-jae.”
“…What?”
“You said you would only love me, only me? I only have you, so why are you giving your heart to Jung Hyun-jae?”
“Wait, what the hell is that…”
“I didn’t kill him on purpose. I didn’t know you would commit suicide. I just wanted you to suffer… For a week or so. In return for messing with your mind.”
Jeong Seong-min, who has been twisted somewhere, to the extent that she feels jealous of her own father.
Lee Shin-ah was in despair.
Because of her own actions, everything about her started to fall apart.
“Mother. What the… What the hell did you do to my husband? Yes? My husband…”
It wasn’t just her family that started to fall apart one by one.
Jeong Seong-min, who always took good care of her own wife, had been neglecting them for several months, so Lee Hee-yeon came forward and argued with her son Lee Shin-a.
“…It’s just that Seongmin realized it. That her own true love is me.”
But Lee Shin-ah couldn’t tell the truth.
If anyone else knew that she had transformed the king of the underworld, she would have to pay for the crime, and Jung Sung-min would also lose her status.
“Mom. What happened with my brother Mom… Why, why did it end like this? Huh? Dad. Dad why…”
“…”
Only, when her beloved daughter returns from a concert.
It was at this time that Shina Lee began to regret her own actions for the first time.
Her daughter’s eyes, which had always been her twinkle, became her eyes completely dead and when she looked at herself, she realized what she had done.
“Now, you are not my mother … Hmm … Hmm … I, I … I have no place to come back now. My life is futile… Because of my mom, my family… My dad… My older brother… Everyone left me.”
In the end, after a month, she left her mansion, even Jung Sung-ah.
But this time, Jung Seong-min didn’t catch her or comfort her.
His interest was only Lee Shin-ah.
“…Seongmin-ah. Seong-ah is about to retire from her idol. She’s the kind of girl who likes to sing in crowds like that…”
“…So.”
“You… Can’t you comfort me? He must be… Crying right now. That good boy…”
“Ha. You.”
Jeong Seong-min sighs and calls Lee Shin-ah.
He said, stroking her hair.
“First of all, I told you not to call me by name. You married me say a couple But why are you still me…”
“…”
“And, why do you keep wanting me to mix with another woman? Don’t you remember the promise we made? We decided to only look at each other. We decided to only think of each other and only want each other’s bodies.”
“…That.”
“Think of us. I will keep an eye on Seong-ah. It will get better with time.”
“…”
Feeling that something is going wrong.
The island of happiness finally settled after passing through the dark open sea, turns out to be the back of a giant monster.
It feels like everything is going to be sucked into the deep sea.
Lee Shin-ah spent each day in such an uneasy feeling.
Even at the moment of mixing with Jung Sung-min, her anxiety symptoms did not stop.
Maybe even Seong-ah is wrong.
I wonder if Sungmin’s other wives will do something.
In that anxiety, she began to grow weaker and weaker.
It was when two years passed like that.
“…Exile him.”
In the end, Jeong Seong-min kicked out Lee Hee-yeon, who was his mistress.
Lee Hee-yeon, who judged that everything was ruined because of Lee Shin-ah, planned to poison her Lee Shin-ah, and it was because the plan was discovered by Jung Sung-min.
“…Seongmin-ah. I have a confession to make.”
In the aftermath of Lee Hee-yeon’s banishment, Jung Sung-min’s back world begins to disintegrate.
At this time, when Lee Hee-yeon was expelled, Jung Seong-min’s women left one by one, and various new forces threatened him.
Finally, Lee Shin-ah made her confess that she had twisted Jung Sung-min’s mind.
For this, she wanted to prevent everyone from being destroyed, even if she would be punished.
And as expected, Jung Sung-min was furious at the truth he faced.
“… You are gone too. I don’t want to look like that, so get off immediately.”
“Seo, Seongmin… I…”
“Just looking at your face makes my stomach twist, so get out of here! Go away before I kill you! Please!”
“…Sorry. I, I ruined everything…”
“…”
Two people bowing their heads.
Lee Shin-ah turns her back and leaves with tears in her eyes.
She regretted it
Due to what he had done, Jung Sung-min had changed, and because of that, he despaired of the reality that his back world was collapsing.
“I…I was crazy. I’m sure I’m crazy…”
Why did you do that?
How did you get your home back?
It was a given opportunity, but how could it be ruined in this way?
However, the opportunity to undo what was ruined was not given a second time.
The fall of Jeong Seong-min happened in an instant like a domino falling.
Jeong Seong-min, who felt deep affection only for her because of Lee Shin-ah’s brainwashing, collapsed after Lee Shin-ah left, and even his wives who came back couldn’t fix his hole in his heart.
Having only fallen in love with Ah Shin, he could not love any other woman, so no matter how hard his wives tried, it was impossible to bring him back to normal.
“I have to put it back.”
So Lee Shin-ah decided to visit Jeong Seong-min’s wives.
This is because she decided that if she made a plan with them and returned Jeong Seong-min back to ‘Purgatory’, she would be able to solve the current situation.
That’s how Lee Shin-ah went to Lee Hee-yeon, who was banished by Jung Sung-min.
After she was banished by Jeong Seong-min, she suffered from a mental illness and was in an extremely weak state.
She said, glaring at her isin-ah.
“…Go away. Because I don’t want to see you.”
She lost up to 33 kg of weight and only her bones remained.
Lee Shin-ah was quite shocked by the shocking visual, but she said what she had to say.
She confessed everything she had done to Jung Sung-min.
She and she again said she had come here to bring him back, begging for help.
“…Huh…Huh…Huh… I didn’t do anything wrong…Uhh… I didn’t do anything wrong… I didn’t do anything wrong…”
Lee Hee-yeon sheds tears and is relieved.
She thought that the reason Jeong Seong-min distanced herself was because her sexual attractiveness had declined or that he had done something wrong to him.
He himself lost the will to live because of his heart disease.
“…Sorry. Everything is because of my greed.”
But today, I finally heard the truth.
Through Lee Shin-ah’s mouth, he learned that it was not because of him that his heart left.
This allowed Lee Hee-yeon to stand up again.
“It happened because of Purgatory. There is only purgatory to bring it back.”
Two months later, Lee Hee-yeon, who had regained her former health, called all her members together and made a plan to bring Jung Sung-min back.
Realizing that Shin-Ah Lee was the culprit behind all of her actions, the members tried to kill Shin-Ah Lee, but since she was the only one who knew how to use Purgatory, she decided to punish her later.
“Then I’ll have the operation implemented in two weeks.”
Lee Hee-yeon’s strategy was simple.
Calling Jeong Seong-min to a specific place and making him fall into purgatory again.
Lee Hee-yeon planned meticulously for this, and she distributed the roles to Baek Ha-yoon, Elena, and Ahn Ji-yeon.
So, the day of operation arrived quickly.
Thanks to Ahn Ji-yeon’s performance, we were able to secure Jeong Seong-min, who was sleeping soundly.
“I got it, Master.”
Ahn Ji-yeon succeeds in kidnapping Jeong Seong-min, who is addicted to her alcohol and drugs, to a specially designed sleeping room after putting her to sleep with a tranquilizer gun.
The five women stole tears as they saw Jung Sung-min lying on the bed.
Because his condition was noticeably emaciated.
“I do not have time.”
But the remaining time was running out.
No matter how ruined he was, Jung Sung-min was still the king of the underworld, and his disappearance was a big deal.
Purgatory must be succeeded quickly before his forces rush here.
So Lee Shin-ah stepped out.
“I will begin.”
She administers medicine to Jeong Seong-min, who is sleeping soundly.
Afterwards, she administered the medicine according to the procedure and changed Jung Sung-min’s memory again.
However, she decided to erase Jeong Seong-min’s memories altogether, as trying to change them clumsily could cause the memories to get tangled and cause him to go crazy.
All memories related to you.
“Mmm…”
After about 4 hours of re-brainwashing, Jeong Seong-min finally opened his eyes.
He completely forgot all her memories related to her, as her isinah intended.
To him, his family is only Jeong Seong-ah and Jung Hyun-jae, and Jung Hyun-jae changed his memory to the fact that he died in a car accident a while ago.
Lee Shin-ah, who succeeded in reverting her to her former self to some extent, decided to disappear forever so as not to confuse him.
The women of Jeong Seong-min said, looking at her one last time before her Lee Shin-ah left.
“Don’t let your master see you again. Of course, in the eyes of the saint.”
Lee Shin-a weakly nodding her head at Lee Hee-yeon’s cold words.
Heeyeon Lee said.
“You should feel it too. What it feels like to be forgotten by someone you love. And, never commit suicide. I’ll watch over you so you don’t die. Live in pain for the rest of your life.”
“…Okay.”
“Then get off. Don’t appear in front of us or your master again.”
Lee Shin-a nodded her head and turned around.
Trudge-trudge-she moves with her feeble steps.
She went down to the countryside and settled there.
She occasionally hears news of her Jung Seong-min and Jung Seong-ah through her own contact book, and all she does is tend the vegetable garden in front of her house and raise pets.
“…”
Besides that, she regretted it all day.
When you wake up in the morning
When eating rice.
When grooming your cat.
When you clean up your dog’s stool.
When watering the garden.
When I’m blankly watching TV.
When you look up at the sky.
Every day, every moment.
She regretted it
“…Miss you.”
It was so funny.
At a time like this, the person you want to see the most is your husband.
Bursting out all her own desires, and now abandoned by everyone.
The person she wanted to see the most was Jung Hyun-jae.
I missed him so much, so badly.
‘Honey. Tell me later It would be fun to go down to our countryside. Right?’
After that, I heard Jung Hyun-jae’s hallucinations intermittently.
At least, that voice gave me the strength to endure.
To himself, who was going through miserable days every day, his voice gave him the strength to live on.
It was her husband, not anyone else, who always lifted her up.
…Those years lasted for 12 years.
“Aaaaa…
Shina Lee sobbed as she buried her own pet.
If there was at least one moment of laughter in a day, it was when she saw her pet acting cute, but now she even let her pet go.
There was nothing more left of her by her own side.
“…”
Everything is gone
Neither son nor daughter has forgotten herself, and her grandchildren do not know herself.
She even left the pet she was attached to.
What on earth do I have to live on now?
Then-
‘Honey. Why are you doing that Is something bad happening?’
The moment he collapsed in despair, Jung Hyun-jae’s auditory hallucinations are heard without fail.
Like a sunflower, he looked only at himself and gave generous love.
“Ah…”
A realization came to her.
Now that all desire has been vomited out and everything has collapsed due to that desire.
She came to realize that the ‘ultimate man’ she pursued was Jung Hyeon-jae.
The fantasy of an alpha male that remained inside him was just an illusion created by his unfulfilled ambition and anger at the conglomerate family, but he finally realized that the true partner that suits him is Jung Hyeon-jae.
“…No, to me… He was too much. A very generous person…”
He had underestimated the value of the heart.
He excelled in all respects and thought he deserved to be treated.
He thought he deserved to be the owner of a chaebol family, and he could not tolerate his father’s attitude of treating him as a ‘for sale’.
That’s why he didn’t put much value on Jung Hyeon-jae’s heart.
Compared to herself, the youngest daughter of a conglomerate family and a child prodigy, Jung Hyun-jae thought she was just an ordinary man.
But what he really lacked was himself.
He has both beauty and skill, and he is trapped in the narrowness of his superiority, not realizing how big and great his heart is.
He didn’t know how strong his warmth was as he looked into every detail of his heart every moment he was with him and took care of him.
What a stupid woman this is.
Why didn’t she feel grateful for that?
“In the end, I was… No different from my father… I…”
Appearance, abilities, skills.
He was the only one who judged people based on that.
Compared to himself, Jung Hyeon-jae’s value is low, so he is himself who has made many efforts to make him the alpha male.
That standard was, after all, his father’s standard.
The fact that he tried to make Jung Hyeon-jae the alpha male was also aligned with his father’s standards, and he was also trying to prove himself to his father’s standards.
“Ha.. Haha… Stupid bitch.”
Lee Shin-ah smiled bitterly.
I was so pitiful that I had finally realized what was truly valuable and valuable.
He felt that he deserved this punishment.
“He was someone I deserved… With such a person by my side, I…”
She realized the preciousness of her heart.
Afterwards, Lee Sin-ah started painting her.
The main thing she draws is Jung Hyun-jae’s face, which shimmers several times a day.
From him in his 20s to his appearance in his 50s.
Sometimes she would draw places of her memories she had with him, and she would draw him still holding her newborn babies, Jung Seong-min and Jung Seong-ah.
And that was when there were thousands of such paintings.
-Shhhhh
Lee Shin-ah, who has been drawing her husband’s picture for many years, amidst her anguish and regret.
Her lifespan was short, and she was nearing her end.
“There’s no one… There’s no one… By my side…”
A month ago, even though her body began to hurt rapidly, no one came to see her.
Even at the moment before her death, she was alone knowing Lee Shin.
“…Okay. This… Is the last thing that suits me… For a stupid… Bitch like me…”
The one who trampled on the heart of a precious person mercilessly.
For him, such a death was a fitting death.
Nobody’s going to look for them, and nobody’s going to care.
No one will bury it, and it will be left in the room as a rotting corpse and ashes.
No one will honor you
You won’t remember.
– Again.
At that time, the clear sound of shoe heels stimulated Lee Shin-ah’s ears.
I thought I hadn’t heard it for a moment, but the sound of the heels became clearer and clearer.
They were clearly walking towards this place, in a regular rhythm, one after another.
It was the step of a strong and heavy man.
Eventually, the owner of the steps arrived right in front of him.
“…”
Lee Shin-ah struggles to lift her head and confirm the owner of her steps.
In an instant, her pupils widened considerably.
In disbelief, Shina Lee looked at the man’s face with her mouth open in her daze.
“How is it. Turns out she lived a life that made her desires come true.”
The man’s face she saw.
I missed her terribly, and that’s why I missed her so much.
“Uh, how…”
The man’s face was different than expected.
Jung Sung-min, who should now be in his 60s, still has the most beautiful face in his 20s.
