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

Chapter 169 - 169: Revelation 1

It took a lot of effort to act cool and unbothered in front of everyone.

Especially to Jake who was mockingly looking at her at the moment.

Of all the people who have found her, why does it have to be him?

She hated him. Aside from being her rival, he had something unforgivable towards her which made her to hate him more.

It was not unknown that each group or unions would put a spy in their enemies so they would know their every movement and to check what the enemies were planning against them.

And that spies would do everything just to extract essential information from them and then would give those information to their true groups or union.

Remember that girl whom she had considered her friend, she was the mole or spy who was sent by Jake's group to keep on tabs with them.

As soon as she found out who she was, she didn't confront her about her identity.

Instead, she continued being a friend to her because only that girl understood her pain.

For some reason, Kim Eunji had managed to make her as a double agent and worked for them instead.

And Jake's union or group had discovered about it which made them furious to the point that they killed her.

They were even cruel enough that they sent her the video of how they slowly took her life…by burning her alive.

And it was Jake who did it. He lit up the pile of wood around her and happily watched as the fire roasted her to death.

Kim Eunji could still hear the painful screams in her memory.

Due to exhaustion, her mind had fully taken over her body now and was working on auto-pilot.

It always happened during her trainings where she had suffered many injuries to the point that her body had to give up and collapse but her mind would always push her to get up and continue the training.

Now, her body was weak given that there were babies growing inside her and her morning sickness was worse. It was only today that her morning sickness had eased a bit that she was able to go out and enjoy the outdoor together with Nathan and had fun with the kids later in the afternoon.

She was tired, exhausted even…but she could not bare to relax given that there's a big danger in the name of Jake tied in an inverted position inside their dungeon or basement.

Call it adrenaline rush and that's what she was feeling at the moment.

She could not accept the fact that her parents are dead if that's what Jake had been telling her since earlier.

If they were indeed dead, there's no way she would not hear of it. As much as she wanted to detach herself from that world, she would sometimes snuck on the international request board to check if her name was up for a bounty.

There, she could also hear or learn news of what was going on every organizations and groups in the underworld. So she should have known.

And besides, the his statement that it was her who killed them would always be unacceptable for her. What more? Because of Nathan?

She found that reasoning as unbelievable as it would be! Because excluding on the night that she lost her virginity to him, she had only met him just recently.

So it was impossible that she killed them for him.

'Is he playing a prank on me?' She could not help but thought of that.

She thought that this was all part of his tricks to make her admit who she was, which was successful by the way.

And his continuous insistence that what he was saying was the truth was his way to buy some time to regain his energy and escape.

As she thought of this she could not help but mock herself for being fooled easily by Jake's tricks.

But…a little part of her was telling her that what he was saying was true. And this was new to her.

She then looked at Nathan and pursed her lips when she saw him looking at her worriedly.

She badly wanted to listen to Nathan and for the sake of their babies.

But she could not let it rest and delay it until tomorrow.

Who knows if Nathan's men would be able to keep him captive until tomorrow?

She didn't want to risk it. If he'd escape, she was sure that the man would not stop at anything just to make her suffer.

She could not recall the reason why and when they had become always after of each other's neck but she was sure he'd always be bad news for her.

But, if she'd kill him now, would that guarantee that no one from her past world would come to recognize her?

And besides, why was he even here? Did the higher-ups found out that she was alive that's why they sent him to hunt and kill her for real this time?

There were a lot of things running on her mind.

Kim Eunji sighed as she almost forgotten the main reason why she brought him in the basement and tied him up.

Nathan raised his brows when he saw her walking towards Jake.

She was still holding the sword in her hand though.

"Using my parents as a way of distracting me is quite very clever Jake." She started.

"Oh come on! Don't act like a crap Asia! You know that I am not lying. Your parents are dead and you killed them!"

"Lies! They're not dead! They're alive!" Kim Eunji screamed on top of her lungs making Jake to be amused and laugh hard.

Kim Eunji was in denial of everything that he said.

"Hahahahahhaha!!!" Jake laughed on top of his lungs.

"Tell me Jake, did they already know that I am alive that's why they sent you here? To capture... or kill me instead?" She asked which made Jake to stop laughing.

"No. I have found you out just today." Jake said with a meaningful smile which Kim Eunji could tell that he was lying.

"Lies!"

"One more lie and you'll die sooner than you've expected." She added.

"Oh...I'm not lying at all. I just happened to see you today. Had I known that you've been staying here, I had already paid you a visit." Jake insisted that what he was saying was the truth.

"But oh! Come to think of it, if you'll kill me now, my union members would start looking for me. A week of being missing and they'll go on the place where I have been before I went off the grid. They might start to look for information here. You know my people Asia, they're brutal. They might end up burning this whole island and the people around here."

"Not on my watch!" Nathan decided to interrupt.

"And oh! What are you going to do about that? You already left the Johnsons den. The people you have brought with you won't be able to handle your men. Think before you react. Without your backbone, you're now a weakling. The Underworld had no place with a weakling like you Mr. Bai!" Jake mocked Nathan.

"Do you really think I'll let that to happen, too?" Kim Eunji added.

"Wifey...please let's head to our room and rest." Nathan pleaded to her one more time as he looked at her pointing the tip of the sword on his neck.

Aside from being worried for their babies, he was worried for her.

Yes. They should have had told her about this before an outsider spilled her the news. They could have handled the situation better had she known earlier.

Looking at his wife, he knew that a part of her was somehow believing what Jake was talking about. She was just probably in denial of accepting what he was saying.

But good thing a big part of her didn't buy it and considered it as a lie.

Nathan was torn deep inside, too.

He was sure that his wife would definitely end Jake's life tonight.

She may had not completely believed him but the doubt was already there and he was sure she would snuck around in the underworld to check for herself if what Jake was saying is true.

He knew that she would at least not do it now because she's with child and she knew pretty well the danger but he knew she would definitely do it soon after she had given birth.

Honestly, he really wanted to tell her the truth but he didn't know how though.

How will he explain to his wife about what happened before to her now?

How could he handle the situation better?

He didn't want his wife to be hurt. He was not ready to see her hurt.

And most importantly, he himself was not ready to explain to her everything that he knew about her.

If only there's a way that would make everything less painful for her, he would definitely use that method on telling her.

But he knew that it was right to tell her now since the situation had escalated to this.

However, his thoughts were interrupted when Jake spoke.

"Now you're trying to change the topic on who sent me here just to deny or hide the guilt that you've been feeling for killing your parents. You're the clever and pathetic one Asia. Is this how this world had turned you into?" Jake mocked her.

"Are you trying to tell me that you didn't recall anything at all? What? You're suffering from amnesia after you died? Oh, wait! Did you really even die? As far as I could remember, you did! It was announced all over the underworld that your union was destroyed that night and you were killed by the international authorities but here you are, alive and kicking!"

Jake had added but deep inside, he was starting to believe that this woman in front of her could not really remember that night.

And the more that he studied her actions, he felt that she was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.

He felt that something was off but he could not point out what was it.

Now, he was starting to doubt his judgment.

'Did I mistaken her to be Asia?'

'No, she had revealed herself the moment she heard me talking about her parents. And from her reaction, she knew and recognized who I was.'

Jake was having inner arguments inside his mind.

Nathan on the other hand wanted to knock him unconscious just to silence him and so he could convince her to finally go outside with him.

"I don't remember about everything that you have said. Yes! I drank poison to temporarily kill my heart so I could be declared as dead and be free from the union. Free from the life that had made me miserable over the years. I'm not someone like you who would be so proud by the number of souls, innocent or not, that you have permanently taken out in this world. So I know you are lying!" Kim Eunji cried!

"Announced in the entire underworld? Why I didn't hear it myself? That news must be so huge that it would stay there for decades And besides, our Union was still up in the list of active groups and union in the underworld." She revealed what she knew.

"Of course they'd still be there. A year after the masacre, someone came and revived that group. He or she had even erased that news in the underworld bulletin almost immediately."

That person came to re-establish their group. However, their status had become far inferior than how they were in the past.

"I must say that whoever that person was, he was quite capable but not enough to bring your group back to the number one position." Jake added.

Kim Eunji opened her mouth as she was to say something but she was rendered speechless.

That was her last evidence of refuting his claims that her parents were really dead.

As she looked at him, another wave of confusion was coming into her which made Jake to chuckle.

Nathan looked at his wife's confused expression and he knew he had already lost it.

He didn't want to act like he had no idea what Jake was talking to her anymore. He knew he had to act now.

If Jake was not lying, then he did play a big part of why her parents were killed. Because he was so weak, he was held captive by the group of people. No it was exactly Jake's group who held him captive and used him as a hostage so Ana, Kim Eunji's sister would obey them.

And if he was right, it was Ana who killed them and not her Eunji.

"You've mistaken Jake. Wifey, believe me when I say you didn't kill them. It was someone else who killed them." Nathan said as he walked towards her and hugged gave her a comforting hug.
