She dropped the woman off at a church and headed back to announce her inability to find the woman who had apparently already escaped. Beads of sweat formed of her forehead imagining what would happen to her once she tells them she had escaped. 

She walked in, her hands were now sweaty. She rubbed them on the thighs of her jeans and headed in. 

"I am sorry, I lost her", she stood with her head down. The Chairman, Sejin and Yon were in the room. His wife sat on the rocking chair in a corner. 

The Moon's had announced through a conference that in her will, the Chairwoman had stated the allotment of shares to her husband and her son's foundation that funded orphanages. #shares and #kindheartedchaebol trended all day long on social media. 

"Thank fucking god", Sejin exclaimed. *I couldn't be more happier about not having to marry that dickwad if at all that's what the Chairman actually wanted happening*

"That's okay", the Chairman said with a smile on his face. his wrinkles creasing enormously. The saggy skin under his eyes deepening as he cackled. 

She frowned as the Chairman came closer, handing her a gun. She looked at him puzzled. 

Earlier

Seo Ye Ri got out of the car. She looked back at Samairah one last time, bowing and walking away towards chapel of the church; the point they had decided on earlier. She listened to the car drive away. She sat at a bench and a few minutes later she was joined by Aerah's lawyer. 

"I'm doing this only because I really respected the Chairwoman. Ever since Jae Moon passed, she wanted you to join her hospital as the Director", the lawyer spoke. 

"I'm not sure if I want anything from that house. Neither did they respect my husband nor me or my son. But at least for our safety I need a leverage. It's in here?" she asked. 

The lawyer handed her a file. She pulled out the paper within to reveal the notarized will.

"Thanks a lot Eric"

"Make sure to remain safe. Once the situation is better, we can file a claim challenging the validity of the will they presented. We can start from there", Eric stated. Ye Ri nodded and got up, putting the file in her bag and heading out. Eric followed a while later. They got in his car leaving the church. He took a sharp U-turn heading to a road that seemed to have been blocked by cars facing them. The headlights shone bright. 

"I'm sorry, I had no choice", Eric muttered as he opened the door and stepped out.

Inez entered through the main door dragging the man in the photo, the lawyer, Eric. She turned to face him. She realized the purpose of the gun and looked at the Chairman. She pointed the gun at the man whose eyes were now burning with rage. 

"I helped you Chairman. Don't do this to me. Because of me you have the will and her", he pleaded while crying. 

David entered the room, Samairah heard muffled cries of a woman as she stood pointing the gun at Eric. It was Seo Ye Ri; Samairah sighed. David pulled off the gag over Ye Ri's face. The Chairman kept his hands on Samairah's shoulders. 

"You shouldn't have", he said right next to her ear and moved away to lean on the table in the study. 

"Shoot him", the Chairman ordered. She led her fingers to the trigger and positioned the gun. Taking a deep breath, she sighed. "I won't", she said softly. In a split second David had pulled out his gun and in another, he had shot him. "No!", Ye Ri cried as Eric collapsed to the floor, bleeding out. 

David handed over Ye Ri's bag to the Chairman and stood behind her. The Chairman put the bag aside on the table and looked at her. Samairah shot the gun at David, who pointed the gun at her instantly. Her's was a blank. She grabbed the weird cactus pot on the table and smashed it on David's head. "Run", she said to Ye Ri who got up and ran out of the room. Samairah kicked the Chairman causing him to roll over the table and fall behind it. Sejin grabbed the golf club swinging it at her, she ducked avoiding it. "I think I've had enough of that", she said as she turned on her heels kicking him in the face. He hit his head on the wooden table and collapsed. Hana grabbed a sculpture figurine, hitting her on the back of her head causing her to he fall to her knees. From the corner of her eye she saw David regaining his consciousness. She grabbed the golf club, hitting Hana's legs. She screeched and fell to the ground. She halted as soon as she turned, David was up and was holding a knife. She grabbed the skipping rope from the chair to her left and rolled it around her palms. She stepped aside as David lunged forward, trapping the rope around his neck and turning around tightening it. He resisted and tried to free himself for a while before passing out. She pushed him onto the table and looked around. The Security team except Inez seemed to be unaware of what was happening. She turned around to see Ye Ri rushed back in.
"Grab that. It is evidence", she shouted pointing at the bag.

Samairah walked around David next to the table where Ye Ri's bag had fallen. She picked the bag and turned around, freezing. He pushed it further, making her wince. A moment later she saw Ye Ri standing with a broken chair in her hand as the Chairman tumbled to the ground. She looked down and reached for the handle of the knife, but was stopped by Ye Ri. 

"Don't pull it out. I'm a doctor, I'll help you. Let's get out of here first", she said and took Samairah's hand around her shoulder, walking to the car through the side of the quarters less frequented by staff. 

Samairah hit an address on the navigation. "This is a safe place I know", she said as Ye Ri pressed around the wound with her white scarf. 

"Don't talk. I'll get some supplies, stitch this up and then we head to this place. You hear me?"

"Yeah", she answered, her lips were dry and her eyes wouldn't stay open. The satin cloth couldn't stop the bleeding either. Ye Ri rushed into her house, grabbing the kit and running to the car. 

She followed the navigation to the place, a 4 hour drive out if the city. She kept talking to keep Samairah awake. 

"We're just 12 minutes away", she tapped her face. She wasn't awake. The stitching was done but she had lost a lot of blood.

She pulled the car in front of the entrance and used the key that Sam had given her to push open the door. Laying Sam on the couch, she grabbed her kit and rushed in, locking the door behind her. 

Not soon after Samairah had found a job at Haylong, Akin had decided to enter legal businesses and bought the hotel chain. Just when she thought everything was going well, Akin had started out as the CEO there.
