Chapter 353 - Naomi Hanada

1994

"I don't want to marry that man! I don't love him, and I don't know him?" Shouted Naomi to Chairwoman Hanada, who was trying her best to convince her. "I already have a boyfriend, and we plan on getting married as soon as we graduate." She added while sobbing her heart out.

Chairwoman Hanada's heart was broken for her only child. However, there's nothing she could do in regards to the marriage. They needed THJ Group financial support. And CEO Jones wanted Naomi as his wife as part of the deal, and Chairwoman Hanada agreed against her better judgment.

Chairwoman Hanada explained to Naomi their situations, and after realizing that they would go bankrupt if she doesn't go along, she finally agreed. She figures that after the Hanada Group was saved, she would then divorce the man. 

She made sure that their marriage would not be announced to the public. In which CEO Jones agreed. No one ever learned that she had become Mrs. Jones, and she stayed out of sight after the wedding.

THJ Group saved their business in exchange for Naomi to become Mrs. CEO Jones. After they got married, the Hanada Group and the THJ Group merged. 

However, it didn't go the way she had planned when after a month of their marriage, she found out she's pregnant. Naomi has no choice but to stay married until she gives birth. 

A year later, twins Tanaga and Tanaka were born. As soon as Naomi was able, she began hatching her plan of divorcing her husband. After she gave birth to the twins, she went back to college and continued using her maiden name as her last name instead of Jones. Therefore, no one in her circle ever found out that she's already married and has twins.

Her then-boyfriend had no idea that she's already another man's wife. After their graduation, he was planning to introduce her to his family, and that's when he found out everything. However, once Naomi explained how it happened and what's her plan... Her then-boyfriend decided to help her implement and accomplish her goal. 

One thing that they didn't plan on happening was for Tanaka to be thrown into the water with his mother. Therefore, Naomi and her boyfriend have no choice but to raise Tanaka together. Due to the trauma from being thrown into the water and almost died... Tanaka was shocked and didn't speak for many years. 

When he finally regains his senses, they made him believe that his father was Naomi's then-boyfriend. Thus, he was raised, not remembering he has a twin brother and a different father.

CEO Jones grieved Naomi and Tanaka's death, and he was in depression for a while. When this happens, President Hanada uses this opportunity to try and take over the THJ Group. He hired a professional killer to kill CEO Jones and Tanaga, but they failed to kill Tanaga while witnessing his father getting killed right before his eyes...

Tanaka grew up believing that he was the son of his mother's lover. He only found out the truth ... A year ago, he heard the quarrel between his mother and his father. It was there that he realized that he was not his birth father and that he had twins living in Japan. He was shocked and couldn't believe what he was hearing.

He quickly finds out what he could about Tanaga and learns that his birth father is dead, and he also has a grandmother. After much information gathering, Tanaka decided to go to Japan to see for himself. Much to his dismay, he found out that they were out of the country on vacation.

Unfortunately, it was during the time when Tanaga was convalescing from the accident, and they were in America. Thus, he ends up going back home without having to come face to face with his brother and grandmother.

Just as when he arrived back home, news came to them that his father had a heart attack. They rushed to the hospital where they took him only to find out that he died soon after arriving. Leaving them with so much death and a business that's about to go bankrupt...

Tanaka learned that his known father has a gambling problem and embezzled money from the company. The board members found out about it and were demanding them to repay all the money that's amounting to millions of dollars. 

When Naomi found out about this, the first thing that came to her mind was Tanaga and grandma Hanada. Since the death of her first husband, grandma Hanada took the position of Chairwoman and Tanaga as the CEO of THJ Group. She knew that they could help, and with that in mind, they went and searched for their whereabouts.

It took the investigator some time to find them, and at the same time, they had learned that Tanaga was in an accident and almost died in the process. When Naomi found out about this, she wished that he had died. If Tanaga had been killed during that accident, Tanaka would inherit everything, and it would save her dead husband's company and pay off the money he had embezzled.

Naomi doesn't care for Tanaga at all. Since the day of the boat accident, she considered him dead already. Even Tanaka was not safe with her wrath as he grew up. She hated him to the core of her being. She treated him with contempt, and she did everything in her power to make him suffer.

Why was she doing this when the twins were her own flesh in blood? For Naomi, Tanaga ang Tanaka was a mistake and should never have been born. She doesn't want to have a child with CEO Jones, and also the twins were the reason she could never have another child.

During the childbirth of the twins, Naomi almost died, and her then-husband CEO Jones was afraid of losing her if she gets pregnant again. After she gave birth to Tanaga ang Tanaka, CEO Jones had the doctor tied her tube. [hysterectomy] 

Therefore, even after trying so many times to reverse the hysterectomy, it never works, and she never had a child with her beloved 2nd husband.

Naomi could care less about Tanaka or Tanaga. Now that her beloved husband is dead, the only thing that matters to her is his company. She would do everything in her power to make sure that it is saved even if she dies trying...
