Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep

Elder Yoo looked up as a shadow fell across him and so did Xie Eun. Her eyebrows raised as she saw her husband glaring at the old uncle with a rather hostile look. Deducting that he must have thought that the uncle was being a nuisance,Xie Eun hurriedly explained,"Yu Seok! Uncle, here, is not feeling well. We need to take him to the hospital.."

Yu Seok turned to look at the old man who had acted out the fall beautifully and stared in silence. Feeling like a kid who had been caught red handed stealing sugar,Elder Yoo had a downcast expression. He looked at his granddaughter in law longingly and then at his long lost grandson and decided to intervene for himself,"Child..I am feeling better.Thank you for helping an old man. You must be getting late for class. Let this young man take me..to the doctor.."

Xie Eun looked to Yu Seok,imploring him with her eyes to help the kind old uncle. As always,Yu Seok agreed to his wife's will and nodded. Xie Eun gave him a big smile and then turned to the uncle,"Uncle.You need to take better care of yourself so that you do not get sick again!What if you had fallen to the ground and hurt yourself..I will leave for class now but you must be careful to go to the doctor and get treatment!"

Elder Yoo nodded obediently and watched the girl wave at him and his grandson and leave. Elder Yoo looked up at the cold man who stood in front of him and sighed before getting up and standing straight. Like his grandson,gone was the mask of an old gentleman and a shrewd man stood in front of him . He was a man who had been brought up with the old traditions that strong men showed no emotions and never cried. But seeing his grandson in the flesh,the one he had thought he had lost forever,made him want to break down and cry.

He looked at his grandson carefully and said,"The Imperial Ocean,Room no 1019."

Yu Seok had no intention of listening to the old man or meeting him so he just turned around and walked away but then the old man threatened,"If you are not there in the next twenty minutes,then I will be back here waiting to talk to the girl. You are a powerful man,Wolf but that does not mean that I am not. I mean no harm to your wife but that does not mean that I am not willing to use her to get to you. See you there..Wolf."

His hands clenched as Wolf stared at the receding back of the old man. He hated walking into a situation unprepared,and from what little his people had been able to glean,this man was not beyond dirty means...and it could not be ignored that his people had tried once to kill her. So even if they were related bu blood,he could not help but feel wary. Because if this man was so powerful,why had he been unable to find him until now? 

When he had seen the old man purposely fall and push Xie Eun,he had been tempted to grab him and pull him away. Only wanting to know his intentions,he had quietly followed.

Looking at the time,he quickly got into his own car and followed the old man to the hotel that he had named.

Elder Yoo had already composed himself by the time he reached hotel and warned his people to not alert Yoo Shiro about this meeting. He knew that Yoo Shiro would not be happy at being left out.

Soon,Yu Seok was led in by the hostess and Elder Yoo smiled gently ordering the food and then asking that they not be disturbed for some time. The hostess smiled in understanding and left the room.

The two men,one old and one young stared at each other waiting for the other to back down. Finally Old man Yoo sighed and said,"I want you to join the family. What will it take?You have money and power of your own so naturally you are not lacking there. Tell me then?"

Yu Seok narrowed his eyes and instead of answering the questions asked a few of his own. "I heard that you have left the underworld.So why did you choose to accept the old woman's order to kill my wife?"

His grandson was like himself and his son,Elder Yoo thought proudly. He was devoted to his wife. But with the Lu girl,everything was complicated.But he needed to explain..

"We have indeed left the malpractices and killings of the underworld. But we owed a blood debt to her and it has been long overdue. In fact when she came to my man for this,even he was shocked and tried to get her to change her request. Since we had promised that we would fulfill her wish..there was nothing we could do. And for someone who had killed so many times in the past,one more person was nothing. Your security was perfect but my man would have succeeded even with his rusty skills if he had not seen you,Yu Seok. He used to be your guard when you were young and had lived in guilt ever since we lost you. Seeing you, he must have felt like he had fulfilled his purpose on earth and thus he conveyed the message of your presence and before killing himself."

"But we needed to make sure that her protector was Yu Seok or Wolf which is why we had to attack your business deals also. But I assure you that we will not do any such thing in the future and I will also protect you and your wife from people with wrong intentions. Regarding the Lu girl..I will think of something for her.Her hatred is too deep...and undeserving."
