The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 167 - 167: Confrontation

Nathan left to eat his dinner after making sure that Kim Eunji had taken her dinner.

Kim Eunji had some other plans in mind. She went out of the room and decided to go in one of the cottages and decided to rest there as she waited for Nathan to finish his dinner.

This was one of her favorite cottage in the area because it was facing the sea and the view was spectacular and if she was lucky tonight, she would witness the fireflies show which she had witnessed once.

However, the skies outside looked gloomy and it might drizzle again just like the other night.

But it was okay as that cottage had a lot of books to read both general and advanced books and romance books.

As soon as she entered the cabin, Kim Eunji looked for a comfortable spot to lay down.

She then decided to read a romance book just to pass the time.

She found a few good romance books to read in this shelf and she was about to start her fifth one ever since she arrived in this island.

The stories were very interesting and entertaining for her. It made her get hooked immediately just by a few chapters.

The novels were not that long. It only contained sixty chapters but the stories these novels were telling was more than enough to cover a lifetime.

As she flipped through the pages, she felt someone's presence nearby. And she knew exactly who was the owner of that presence.

Kim Eunji was not surprised by this as she kind of seen this coming should Jake didn't buy her new identity and could still recognize the old her despite everything she had shown earlier by the beach.

Don't get her wrong, Kim Eunji really wanted to hang out with the locals especially with the kids. It just so happen that Nathan and her spotted Jake observing them from afar.

So she knew that the man would now be having a second thought.

'At least pretend that you didn't recognize me. I am already dead for damn sake! The Asia you had known before was long dead… I am Eunji now. My true self at least!' She criticized the man in her mind.

She was sure that the news of her death had spread in the entire underworld. She asked her parents to make the news massive so everyone would know and would not doubt that she was indeed dead.

She didn't know how her parents did it but Kim Eunji was sure that they did fulfilled her second wish.

Keeping herself cool and calm, Kim Eunji waited for him to show up in front of her.

She acted as if she was oblivious of the trespasser. That she didn't know of what was about to happen to her.

She hoped her acting would work as she didn't want to be recognized at all cost.

She decided to fake everything to not compromise her new life. The life that she had been building for the past years now. Away from drama, away from killing and away from everything that could make a normal person be traumatized to the point that she would start hating her life.

The life that she was enjoying to share with her loved ones...with Nathan and finally she'll be sharing with her babies is free from possible complications and close to the happiness that she'd been wishing for in the past.

In this life, she's free to become who she wanted to be.

'So does that mean you'll allow yourself to be killed just so he won't recognize him' the voice in her head asked.

'Of course not. I'll kill him myself even before he could start to attack me.' She retorted on herself.

Kim Eunji decided to continue reading the book to the point that she was feeling bored.

Seconds later, the lights in the cottage went out and she could feel the movements by the window.

"Oh! Brownout? Did our solar-powered electrical system malfunctioned?" Kim Eunji acted like what a normal person would do in this kind of scenario.

Now, she had started her acting and was hoping that the man would hear what she was blabbing about.

Half a minute passed, Kim Eunji could feel that he was already inside the room and was standing a few feet across her and was looking at her fiercely as if studying her every move.

Kim Eunji inwardly smirked.

She could feel his intense gaze piercing through her even though it was dark.

Then a loud thunder roared in the night skies making her to flinch.

"Ah!" Kim Eunji gasped as she placed her hand over her chest to calm her pounding heart.

She inwardly cursed nature for startling her without any warning.

It was very ridiculous to know that she was more shocked by the sound of the thunder than the presence of the man in front of her.

Then, the lightning struck and this illuminated the room a little bit and made her to confirm that what she was thinking was true.

She could see his sharp eyes and the weapon that he was holding on his left hand.

"Who are you?" Kim Eunji started to play the WH questions.

"If you won't tell me who you are I'll call for help." She warned him.

She knew that by acting this way, the man would at least believe that she was a different person. Except if he would believe that everything was pure acting.

"He-" but before she could even call for help, the man started to act and dashed through her strangling her by the neck.

Who.. a-re you? Why are yo-u do-ing this? I don't kn-ow y-ou a-t all!" Kim Eunji said with great difficulty.

The man was strangling her neck so tight that she felt that if he would exert another force, her neck and her head would kiss each other goodbye.

She then started to give soft punches and attempted to remove his hand off her which was a very unlikely act for an S-Class assassin who knew and mastered self-defense like the back of her hand.

"Ple-ase! Yo-ur're kil-ling me!" Kim Eunji pleaded to him which caused Jake to halt as it was never an act of an assassin to beg for mercy.

They were proud and had pride that pleading for mercy was an act of weakness.

They would rather die by taking their own lives than doing this two unforgivable acts, which was begging and being killed by the enemy.

He didn't know that this was her last attempt in acting. If this worked, he would leave her and would not disturb her from now on. Whether this worked or not, she would make sure that she'll be achieving the same results at the end of the day.

She inwardly smiled triumphantly when she felt the man's grip relaxed a little bit.

Kim Eunji then made a little adjustments on her acting to make it more believable by adding tears on it.

"Hubby!" Kim Eunji's voice was cracked as she was containing the sob coming from her mouth.

She was acting tough towards her adversary and at the same time she was showing a vulnerable side of her.

"Help!" Kim Eunji then started struggling to free herself from his grasp.

He even stomped on his feet and banged her head on his strong chest just to make it even more real.

She could break free from his grasp without doing that weak methods though.

She could just hit a certain body points by her forefinger and the man would lose his strength. That was her secret technique and she had used that technique to him one time.

However for some reason, he recovered his strength almost instantly. So if she's use that technique and end up being alive after this night, then she had exposed her identity to him.

After all this man was no ace for no reason.

So she decided to use that if she could make sure that she'll kill him on her follow up move. But this guy was a tough grass....a wild grass just like her, too.

"Stop playing around! I knew this is you, Asia!" Jake said in a growling voice telling her that he was already pissed with all the sh*ts she was doing.

"Go and call your useless husband if you wanted to see her bathing in his own blood!" He added.

"Please...I'm begging you. I don't even know you!" She yelled at him.

"Stop acting! I would never buy it this lie! How dare you come back to life! Oh...let me rephrase that. How dare you for pretending to be dead! Ha! I really thought you died that night together with your whole weak union! But seeing you now alive and kicking, I will make sure that you'll follow them on their grave!" Jake said which made Kim Eunji to pause from struggling.

His statements caught her off-guard.

No one should dare play jokes about her parents! They were alive and healthy. They're there...waiting for her to come back to them.

And besides, she was sure that 'night' that he was referring to never happened as she could not recall any of it.

Still she knew she had lost it as she eventually gave herself to be recognized.

"Wha...what did you just say?" She asked him.

Kim Eunji then did her technique to have the advantage against him.

Jake then fell on the ground and Kim Eunji used her body weight to pin him down.

The acting was over.

She then did the technique her master had taught her beforehand which she had not used ever since because she had learned it on the day before she had an accident after a failed mission. The last mission she took as an assassin.

The technique was intended to block all the person's meridians to stop the Qi from flowing in his system making him a cripple as he would never got the chance to gain back the strength that he had lost and no rehabilitation nor acupuncture would help the person recover.

The technique was called "Five Point Seal". A very exhausting technique as the user would use her own key to seal his opponent's meridians.

The lights finally returned and Nathan then entered the room. He then saw the man lying unconscious on the floor with his wife on top of him.

As soon as he was informed that his wife went out to go into this cottage and found out that the lights was off while she was inside, he had this unsettling feeling as he felt that something was going on.

Because of what he had seen the moment he walk-in the room, his eyes darkened as he immediately checked Kim Eunji for any injuries.

However, what bothered him was that she didn't even look at him or recognized his presence.

Her gaze was fixed with the man's face.

"Wifey? Is everything alright?"
