Ian stormed off from the Song Mansion. Kiaraa wanted to follow him but right now she was not in the state to explain herself or console him.

Her grandpa's announcement of disowning her affected her greatly and she was in a state of shock.

Kim Do Yun followed her brother and her parents too followed their kids as the Kims could understand what Ian must be going through.

Even after all these years, he was still in love with Kiaraa and didn't get over her. He was in the hope that someday Kiaraa would realize her love for him and would reciprocate.

"Let's go upstairs" Song Ji Hun calmly spoke to Kiaraa, holding her hand to take her to his room.

Ji Seo Yun wanted to say something but Song Jae Ho held her hand and shook his head, signalling her to keep quiet and took her away to their bedroom.

Grandpa Song too was not sure what to say, so he went back to his room.

Song Ji Hwan was the only one standing in the living room, wondering why all of this is suddenly happening.

He wanted to talk to his brother, but Song Ji Hun was with Kiaraa, so he didn't wish to intrude into their room.

In a few minutes, lucky for him, Song Ji Hun himself stepped down and met with Song Ji Hwan.

"I know this is a lot for you to handle but I hope you will be supportive" Song Ji Hun said to his visibly shocked brother.

"What's going on Hyung? Why did you suddenly marry Kiaraa and why did you not tell me about it?" Song Ji Hwan was happy for his brother but he was still in a state of shock as this marriage happened so suddenly.

"I promise you Hwan, I'll answer every question of yours but tomorrow. Today, there is something important you need to take care of in my spite" Song Ji Hun said.

"What is it?" Song Ji Hwan asked his brother. Song Ji Hun looked past him at the main door, following his sight, Song Ji Hwan turned around only to see Yang Nam-il standing there.

"Hope the reporters I gave this news to, did their job?" Yang Nam-il was smiling at the two brothers.

"Hmm, they did. Everyone got the shock of their lives" Song Ji Hun informed his friend in the same monotonous voice.

"It was you, who intentionally leaked this news to the reporters?" Song Ji Hwan was surprised at this revelation and questioned his brother.

"Yeah. I knew everyone was present here and I wished for them to get the news without me going through the trouble of informing them. Also, I wished for the whole world to know Kiaraa is mine as soon as possible" Song Ji Hun firmly declared.

"You are so cruel brother. You didn't even care how this news would affect Aera and Ian. I mean, I know they mean nothing to you but at least out of humanity you could have saved them from this humiliation" Song Ji Hwan couldn't help but argue with his brother as Aera and Ian were two people he did care for.

"Will you calm down?" Song Ji Hun relaxingly said and looked at Yang Nam-il, waiting for some update.

"Currently, they both are at the way to their homes but I am not sure for how long that will be the case" Yang Nam-il understood Song Ji Hun's unasked question and answered him accordingly.

"Tonight, do me a favour, keep an eye on Aera and Ian. This is that thing I wanted you to take care of in my spite. You and Yang Nam-il keep an eye on those two and ensure they don't do anything stupid" Song Ji Hun shared his intentions of calling his friend at this hour.

"You think Aera is so weak that she might commit suicide because you married her sister?" Song Ji Hwan tauntingly questioned his brother, who wasn't affected by his brother's attitude.

"What do you think?" Song Ji Hun chose to counter question him instead.

"I don't think she will.." Song Ji Hwan then suddenly went silent as he recollected the scenarios Aera went through in the last one month and how she even stopped going to work.

Aera has been showing symptoms of borderline depression, because of which their mother brought her here to the Song Mansion for a change.

Recollecting all of this, Song Ji Hwan realized his brother is not completely wrong, there is a chance Aera might take some wrong step.

"Where is she?" Hwan worriedly asked Yang Nam-il.

"Currently on the way to the Lee Mansion. Grandpa Lee is with her, so right now there is nothing we need to worry about but later when she is alone, we can't be sure what she will do." Yang Nam-il said.

"Do you think grandpa Lee would let me in his house after everything that happened today?" Song Ji Hwan sarcastically questioned his brother.

"Figure that out by yourself" Song Ji Hun said.

"Hyung"

"Hwan, I know you care about that girl and although I am not sure what exactly you feel for her, I am sure that she means a lot to you, more than you show" Song Ji Hun first time shared his opinion on what he thinks about Hwan and Aera.

"Hyung, I already have a girlfriend and I told you many times I don't have feelings for that girl" Song Ji Hwan understood the underlying meaning of his Hyung's words and responded what he truly believed.

"Fine, if you say so" Song Ji Hun didn't wish to meddle with his brother's personal life so he didn't insist on anything else.

"Hope you two can do me this favour and keep an eye on Ian and Aera, please" Song Ji Hun requested Yang Nam-il and Hwan.

"Why do you care about them?" Hwan couldn't understand his brother.

"I don't want someone's blood on my hands. Although, they are the two people I like the least, or dislike the most, I don't want either of them dead. Hope I am clear" Song Ji Hun said before adding, "My wife needs me, I need to be on her side"

After saying this much, he asked the servants to serve some dinner on a tray and went upstairs with it.

"Can you believe this guy?" Song Ji Hwan frustratedly asked Yang Nam-il.

Yang Nam-il just chuckled and patted on Hwan's shoulder, "Let's go and do this one favour on him"

"When did you find out about their marriage?" Song Ji Hwan asked Yang Nam-il while joining him in the car.

"You will kill your brother if you find out the truth" Nam-il warned him.

"Go for it. I won't be surprised even if you attended the wedding and witnessed their holy matrimony" Song Ji Hwan sarcastically taunted him.

"Well, yeah I did" Yang Nam-il confessed and Hwan was indeed not surprised.

"Sometimes I feel my brother loves you more than me" Hwan sadly stated.

"That's not true, he loves you more than me but he had his reasons." Yang Nam-il could see how upset Hwan was.

"What reasons could he have?" Hwan didn't buy it and still felt bad for not being involved in this whole process.

"At least listen to me and know what exactly happened, after that you can curse your brother" Yang Nam-il already had a word with Ji Hun and they decided to share the truth with Hwan.

Hwan was silent waiting for Yang Nam-il to continue and then Yang Nam-il informed him about the financial status of Lee Conglomerate due to the sudden demise of their CEO and how Kiaraa was struggling with funds.

He also informed Hwan about the marriage deal Song Ji Hun made to take advantage of this situation as he was sure, he won't ever get another opportunity like this to make Kiaraa his wife.

Yang Nam-il also informed Hwan of all the terms and conditions that Kiaraa put forward before agreeing to this marriage.

"Wow, this girl is more despicable than I thought. I can never imagine Kiaraa making a deal out of her own marriage" Song Ji Hwan said after knowing what happened.

"Her conditions are so selfish and calculative. I must say, this woman never fails to impress me" Yang Nam-il joked.

"What will Hyung would do after a year? When Kiaraa will ask for a divorce?" Hwan worriedly asked.

Yang Nam-il chuckled as if he heard some joke, "Your Hyung will seduce her so well in this one year that she would never wish to leave him"

Song Ji Hwan's heavy mood too lightened hearing this and he too laughed, "I do hope that would indeed be the case"
