The CEO's Woman

Queen Ah-Joong sat down on her king size bed feeling deserted. For some reason, what had happened earlier seemed to seal her fate as an abandoned Queen.

She always wondered why Li Jun never liked her. She was beautiful, smart and cunning. She was the perfect woman that any men wanted in their dreams. When they got married, Li Jun never slept with her nor made any efforts to be with her.

She pretended to be alright, to be happy for everyone to see. She was contented with him ignoring her. After all, as the Queen, her life was already perfect as it was. However, everything changed two years after their wedding when she saw Li Jun's real appearance.

That was the first time she felt her heart tugged inside her. It was as if seeing an angel for the first time.. Her heart was fluttering with emotions that she could not recognize. By then, she promised herself to make Li Jun hers. Only hers.

Who would have thought that the man already had another woman in his life? And on top of that, he cheated on her with that despicable woman?

In fact, no one could blame the Queen for thinking like that. It was simply because Li Jun was supposed to be the King from the beginning. When he left the family to be with Wang Ruo, the Elders decided to use his name, even though the person who married the Queen was not him. Li Hong Yi was someone who was trained with Li Jun before. He was trained to serve him. Because of that, his familiarization towards Li Jun was on point.

That made the Elders of the Li Family choose him to pretend to be Li Jun. Only the most influential people of the Li Family knew about that.

Two years after Li Hong Yi became the King, Li Jun came back and announced that he would become the King. Of course, most Elders disagreed to that. However, Li Hong Yi immediately agreed. After all, his allegiance was still with Li Jun.

That was also the time when the Queen accidentally saw the actual Li Jun's real face. Queen Ah-Joong and her father originally thought that she could fool everyone else. But who was Li Jun? He worked in the underworld for a long time. Schemes, as pitiful as the Queen's, would have never worked on him.

Of course, the Queen was unaware of that fact till now.

For now, the Queen could only cry as she watched her reflection in the full body-height mirror in front of her.

"Mother? Why are you crying?" Carlisle instantly frowned the moment he walked inside his mother's room and saw her wiping away her tears.

"I am alright. No need to mind me," she said, her face devoid of any emotion. "Did you hear about what has happened?"

"Yes... that's why I rushed here to see you. I never thought that Father could do that to you!" He answered. "That woman must have passed him some words from Jiang Yue. Or else, why would father have the confidence to do this?"

"That woman is Jiang Yue…" she stated.

"I'm sorry? What?'

"I said she is Jiang Yue," she said before sitting onto the couch. "No one will be such a fool to provoke the Crown Prince and the Queen."

Carlisle turned silent at his mother's words as he recalled the woman's provoking gaze and sharp tongue. His mother was right... No one would be crazy enough to provoke Royalty in their own country.

"You mean?"

"Yes... that is a possibility. She might be already aware of the fact that the King is her father, and she is the only princess of this country."
