She parted her lips several times at the stun of his words, to say something but nothing apparently came out. Her elder brother stood up and patted her shoulder. He drove his lips to her ear.
"Don't get this wrong. Am not part of those who abandon you. Contact me when you need help and support. And if Sebastian mess things up with you and the pregnancy, I'll deal with him myself." He hugged her and kissed the top of her head and made his way towards his room upstairs.
From her frozen state, she slowly slide down to the couch and found herself sitting down. Tears soaked in her eyes began to run down rapidly like waterfalls. Her focus remain on her former parents if she may acknowledge them that way. It's clear from what they said. She's not part of the Kims anymore since she's dining with their enemies and above that, carrying their heir's babies. What a betrayal she is to her own family. She lost them because she fell in love.
Now it'll be hard for her to win their hearts again. It was just a word and the earth stopped orbiting in her notice as her heart skipped a long beat for seconds. She didn't even realize when her parents and grandma went upstairs and her younger brother was the last person who gave her a hug and peek on her cheeks before leaving too.
When she realize that she was the only person seated alone with the TV still on with a low volume, it was already night. She grabbed her keys and left the premises.

Sebastian and Jin-joo's place
She came out of the car with pale expression. The guards around furrowed their brows slightly after the appearance before them. What is wrong with madame? Their boss arrived with similar look and now hers is even the undescribable.
Her eyes traveled around the cars in the garage. Both the ones covered and the ones not. She couldn't find Petra's cars around. Did she sold them or drove them all to the mechanic? Even the one she went out with has not yet return. Then her eyes flicked on her fiancé's. He parked it roughly like a mad animal.
A deep breath digested in her lungs through her nostrils as she made her way towards the mansion.
.....
As soon as she got in from the foyer, her foot started stepping on empty wine bottles. She reached for her nose and pinned it tightly while breathing from her mouth as she skipped the bottles which were littered all over the place.
One of the chefs in the mansion dashed out of the kitchen panickly, "Madame, thank God you're here. Boss has been drinking himself since he return."
"What?!" She got stunned and her purse distinguish itself from her hand to the ground.
"Am afraid he is helplessly upstairs." The man sympathize.
"Where is he now?"
"In his bedroom upstairs..." He lowered his head and left.
Before he could leave, she first of all dismiss immediately without saying anything. Her hands slide upwards as she rushed towards his room upstairs. He has been drinking? He never had an habit of drinking to the extent of getting drunk. She has to end that tactics now.
.....
Inside the room
Immediately she got in, the dark room greeted her and she reached for the switch in the dark. Remember the saying, when one has stayed too long in the dark, he'll surely find his sights. In other words, it's her first time in this mansion. Even if all the chandeliers are turn off, she could fish out the switches from the dark.
The room became bright again then suddenly, the thunders shook the environment and lightening sprinkled it up and it began to rain heavily. The room smelled fresh but still has the traces of alcohol.
"He is here," She quietly search the whole place for him. The same black denim pants, t-shirt and jean jacket he wore to the hospital were the ones lying on the cold tiled floor. She moved her way to the curtains, shut the windows and entered the walk-in closet.
"Seb? Honey, listen I understand your mood but we still have to talk, okay?" She held the walls as she tilts her head sideways to search for him. "I swear on myself, I didn't know I was taking my revenge on you, honey. If I had known, I would have stopped long ago."
Silence greeted her and the heavy rain bow to her comments.
"You have to come out from wherever you're hiding and give me some listen ears. My parents just disowned me because of us. We happened mysteriously and am truly sorry for what I did to...ahhh!" A big hand pulled backwards and made her lie on the king sized bed.
As her heart pounds faster from the sudden push, strands of hair surrounds her face and she quickly push them off to see who just did that. "Sebastian?"
He was growling and fuming as he gritted his teeths and clenched his hands. In his eyes, she was like a bastard slut who broke into his privacy without permission.
She quickly sat up and drew backwards until her back touched the bed's headrest after seeing his bloodshot eyes and angry veins popped on his biceps, neck and forehead.
"S... Seb...." She reached for the pillow as a shield and press her knees to herself as she faked a chuckle, "Honey, we can just sit and talk normal like mature adults, right?"
