Chapter 45.His hands were bound tightly, and his eyes wrapped in darkness. He felt the panic rising, each thump of his heart louder as he tried to make sense of where he was. Sweat trickled down his forehead, and his breathing quickened behind the tape over his mouth. He could tell he was in a car, moving somewhere unknown.Silence hung in the air, thick and heavy, amplifying his fear. He tried to scream, to shout, to do anything, but the tape over his mouth muffled his cries. When the car finally came to a halt, his heartbeat spiked, and he felt hands grip his shoulders, pulling him out of the vehicle. Suddenly, someone yanked the fabric off his eyes, and he squinted as a harsh light blinded him momentarily.Someone was behind him, roughly pulling the ropes off his wrists. The tape ripped from his mouth, leaving his lips stinging. He gasped, coughing and sputtering, his voice hoarse. A water bottle appeared before him, and he fumbled with it, gulping down as much as he coul
Chapter 46.TaehyungThe car finally skidded to a halt, I didn't even hesitate. I sprinted toward the house, heart racing with a dread that tightened in my chest like a vice. Housekeepers had gathered outside the door, their voices frantic, calling her name again and again. Each shout only twisted the knot of fear tighter.The idea that she might hurt herself caused my anxiousness to worsen. Unfortunately, I was the one who put her in that circumstance while she was already in a vulnerable state. The memory of her face when she first came to her senses haunted me—those eyes filled with something I couldn’t bear to see.My hands were longing for their blood, but now is not the time for that. The housekeepers fell silent the moment they saw me. They looked away, knowing they’d failed in the one task I’d trusted them with. I felt the familiar weight of the gun as I pulled it out, aimed it at the bathroom door’s lock, and fired. The shot echoed in the hall, and without a second
Chapter 47.| Taehyung |Weeks rolled over from days. Nothing seemed to change. Lia stayed confined to the room, staring blankly out the window most of the day. Physically, she looked better—the swelling on her face had faded, her hair was growing back, and the bruises on her body were less noticeable. But mentally… I knew that could take years.Maybe a lifetime.I sat in my study, watching her through the hidden camera I’d set up. The chip I’d implanted could only track her location, but this camera gave me more insight. I’d spent the last thirty minutes just watching her stare out that window. It was unsettling.A knock on the door snapped me back to reality. I quickly closed the laptop and looked up to see Marco standing in the doorway. His face was tight with frustration.His face was clouded with tension, and I could see something was seriously wrong. Tristan had disappeared since that night, slipping out of reach, and I regretted not dealing with him when I had the chan
Chapter 48."Please, sir," the man begged, his voice grating on my nerves. "Just let me know who did this to my son. They didn’t just kill him—they took away everything. My wife… she’ll never recover. I can’t even bring his body home for her to say goodbye. Please, you accepted my plea once, and I promise you, I’ll give you anything you ask."His sobs were pathetic, his desperation almost laughable. My hands itched to end his whining for good, but I restrained myself. “You can leave now,” I ordered, my voice cold and final. He hesitated, glancing at me as if he wanted to say more. But Alpha, my right hand, stepped forward. “Boss asked you to leave,” Alpha said, voice low and menacing. “So leave, before you join your son in that grave.” The man’s face went pale, and with one last sniffle, he backed out of the room, defeated.When he was gone, I looked at Macro, who gave a small nod. As I’d suspected, it was Tristan who had tried to help Lia escape. The same Tristan who had
Chapter 49.|Lia |I opened my eyes to the now-familiar ceiling, my hand weighed down by yet another IV. I couldn't even remember how many injections they'd given me. Days blurred into each other, all of them spent in this room—just sitting in silence, staring at the walls, feeling the world pass by while I stayed still.It felt as though if I left the room, people would stare at me with their critical eyes; it having been so many days, I assumed everyone in the mansion knew what had happened.A strange fear had settled in, a sense that if I dared to step outside, everyone in the mansion would know. And if they knew, they'd look at me with that quiet pity, or worse, with judgment. I didn’t even know them well, yet the thought of seeing that kind of look in their eyes felt unbearable.I remember the conversation few days back what she told me. I wasn’t sure why it lingered, but it did. It echoed in my head every day, every time I caught my reflection in the window or a mirror.::Flas
50Taehyung was downstairs, fiddling with his iPod and scrolling through his phone, his expression darkening as frustration mounted. He couldn’t seem to find what he was looking for, and his agitation was growing by the second.Suddenly, a loud scream echoed from upstairs, snapping him out of his thoughts. He knew instantly who it was."Damn," he muttered under his breath, dropping the iPod and pocketing his phone. He moved quickly, taking the stairs two at a time until he was standing outside their bedroom, listening to the chaos inside."I told you I don’t want this tasteless, disgusting food!" Lia's voice was shrill with fury. He could hear her berating the maid, who was stammering apologies and sounding nearly as panicked as she must have felt.Taehyung pushed the door open and stepped inside, taking in the mess. The workers were on their hands and knees, cleaning up spilled food that lay scattered across the floor and splattered onto the couch. Plates, utensils, and half-
51Lia took a shaky breath, her voice breaking as her anger spilled over. “Come on, go ahead! Show me your strength. Break my hand. Prove how strong you are against a woman—show me what kind of man that makes you!” She was screaming now, her head throbbing, tears streaming down her cheeks. She could barely stand, her body trembling with emotion and exhaustion.Taehyung stopped in his tracks, her words cutting through him like a blade. He’d been prepared for anger. He wanted to explain, to tell her that he hadn’t been entirely in control, that he’d been drugged, manipulated. But each word stuck in his throat, thick with guilt. The memory of that night haunted him, the pieces he couldn’t take back.He cursed those moment numerous times, he oath to find the person behind this and gave that person worse death.He lifted his hand, reaching toward her, but she stepped back, her face twisted in contempt and pain. Her voice fell to a broken whisper. “What more do you want from me? You
52.| Taehyung |Seated on the hood of the car, I took a long drag from my cigar, blowing smoke into the night air. The smell of saltwater mixed with the sharp, bitter bite of the smoke. The ocean stretched before us, dark and still. The silence of the night was occasionally interrupted by the distant hum of passing cars, but otherwise, it was just us out here—me, Macro, and Alphs. Even with them around, it felt like I was alone.Macro shot me a side glance, his eyebrows furrowed. “This is your twentieth cigar in less than an hour. What’s gotten into you?”I didn’t answer. Instead, I kept my gaze at the shore quietly, ignoring his question. Macro didn’t understand. None of them did.Alphs walked over with a few bottles of whiskey, catching my eye. “Where’s the scotch I asked for?” I muttered, irritation threading my words.“Couldn’t find any. Figured this would do just as well,” he said with a shrug, setting the bottles on the sand. He gave me a small grin, but I wasn’t in t
.|Taehyung|I was standing at the front of the house, a house where my sister Neum spent her childhood. I just couldn't find myself to take any step further. It's been so many days I was struggling to courage. With everything I came here but it felt like now my legs suddenly became jelly, I can't even gather enough strength to walk inside.I stared at the house more than I should be and suddenly a voice rang near my ear, "Excuse me Mr. I have been seeing you for a long time. Is there any problem?"I turned my head towards the voice as my eyes fell on a guy who was may be in his seventeen, his hair was messy, and his cheek was dried. I examined him from head to toe; he looked like he had been mugged. His clothes were torn so was his shoes."Oh! Yea, I came here for meeting someone but I think I made a mistake."- I just tried to leave the topic since I didn't get courage.I turned to leave and the boy asked me suddenly, "Do you have money? I need some."I narrowed my eyes as my eyes ag
.Lia never understood why or when, but she was incredibly protective about Eun. She never saw her differently; the love she had for Eun was never forced. In fact, she didn't have to force it. It came automatically.She always felt a special bond with this tiny one, as if their souls were intertwined from the start even though Lia did not remember her correctly. Eun's presence was like a gentle breeze, soothing and reassuring. Lia's heart swelled with affection, knowing that no matter what, Eun held a cherished place within it. With a soft smile, Lia gazed at Eun's peaceful face as she lay sleeping. The sight filled her with a sense of contentment and warmth. Eventually, feeling the gentle pull of slumber, Lia settled down beside Eun, and after sometime she also fall asleep.Taehyung stood silently at the doorway, his heart swelling with tenderness as he observed Lia peacefully asleep, her hand still securely wrapped around the tiny form of Eun, even in sleep Lia wouldn't leave her.
.Lia came back after taking long shower. When she opened the door she saw Taehyung on bed waiting for her, he didn't even changed his clothes.He saw her but before he can ask anything she went straight to mirror and applied her night cream, he was looking at her from afar but didn't say anything just seeing her moves.With a deep sigh, he also went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he saw her already on the bed with her eyes closed.Taehyung was regretting his decision why the hell he had decided to go that restaurant and in the whole country why the hell her friends needed to go to that place?First the annoying Father-in-law and now her nonsense friends!'It felt like the whole universe was on the other side and I'm on another side.'Time passed, and no one said anything to anyone. Taehyung also slept beside her, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. He turned and saw her back. Finally, he decided to let it go, turned around, and closed his eyes.The morning light gently streamed i
Update guys !!ENJOY--------------Lia was silent, she didn't say any. He looked at her with confused eyes, "Who have done this out of now where? You know how mush discomfort I am feeling. You ripped my panty and I'm wearing nothing under this dress. It's too uncomfortable Tae."- A tiny frown was perched between her eyebrows, she looked really annoyed.Taehyung chucked softly, "Okay, let's make quick call then."- He spoke."For what?""For your panty."Before they can have another conversation they had heard a scream.Their head turned towards the scream, "Oh mu god!! M I really seeing something or this is a real?"- One of them screamed, She walked close to her and pinched her slightly, "Aahh..""Holy mother of God, this is real, Dea! She is real...." One of them again screamed, Lia couldn't understand anything, she stood up, and confusion was all over her face. Ara embraced her tightly, "You are so mean, Lia. I never thought you can be this selfish."Whereas Taehyung was stood there
.His body was suddenly pushed against the wall, Taehyung's tall and imposing figure cast a shadow over the man, his tightened his grip on the neck, leaning against him more, were now ablaze with a fiery intensity, reflecting the anger and frustration that had been building up within him."Didn't I warn you not to come in front of her ever again? Didn't I order you to leave this state and go somewhere, far from my wife, Didn't I?" - His voice was low and carried a threatening growl.Sebastian struggled with his overpowering force, but his strength was incomparable against him, moreover Mr. Min had old now. Mr. Sebastian managed to rasp out a response, his voice strained yet resolute, "You're getting it wrong, Son-in-law..."Taehyung's eyes blazed with mix of anger and madness. Hearing him calling 'Son-in-law' Taehyung's madness reaching its high now, "Stop calling me this stupid Son-in-law, there is no such relation between us.""But you're the husband of daughter and in that way you'r
Eighty Seven.She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and witness the familiar sight of her bedroom ceiling. Confusion danced in her mind as she tried to remember the previous night. She looked at the surrounding and realized she was still on her bed under the warm blanket.The clock on the bedside table took her attention, and it was 1 p.m. Her eyes widened in disbelief as the realization hit her like a sudden jolt. How could she have slept for so long? Or why tae didn't wake her up?Before she strained her brain more, the door opened entering Teahyung, with tray in his hands, it was with different kind of fruits, and nuts. His lips curved into a bright smile, as he hurriedly went inside.Placing the tray on table he pulled her into his warm embrace, the weight of worry seemed to lift from his shoulders, hugged her tightly, 'You have any idea how long I have waited for you to wake up, who sleeps this long?"- He scolded me, as his eyes welled up with fresh tears.She looked
Update, Enjoy! -------------- |Taehyung| My gaze fixated on the clock, Sleep had nowhere to be found, as the room bathed in the gentle glow of the early morning light. I sat with his back against the cool surface, my gaze fixed on the natural greenery before me, painted a serene picture that captivated my attention. The distant chirping of birds added a delicate melody to the ambiance, creating a tranquil cocoon around us. Lia, draped in a pristine white duvet, nestled against me, finding solace in the curve of my embrace. My bare chest provided a sturdy yet comforting pillow for her head. The rhythmic rise and fall of my breath created a gentle lullaby. Her naked back rested on my bare chest sipping the warmness from my body, as she hide herself more into my warm embrace, "You didn't sleep, did you?"- She asked, her eyes drooling in sleep, with so much difficulty she opened her eyes halved. I gave a sweet smile, and shaking my head, "I'm not sleepy now, you should get sleep mor
Chapter Eighty Five.|Taehyung|As I pressed down on the accelerator, the engine roared to life, and the car surged forward with a burst of speed and it halted at the front of huge gate.The tires screeched against the pavement with a distinctive "scheeh" sound, creating a jarring sensation that reverberated through the car. My foot instinctively slammed on the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a sudden and unexpected halt.My blood boiled with a mixture of anger and frustration. I had warned this him countless times about the consequences of his actions, yet it seemed like my words were falling on deaf ears.I pushed the huge door, entering his mansion, the grand hall stretched out before me, adorned with extravagant chandeliers that cast a warm, golden glow on the polished marble floors.The echo of my footsteps resonated in the cavernous space as I walked further into the heart of the mansion. "Mr. Ashford," I called out, my voice cutting through the silence like a blade. T
Chapter Eighty Four---------|Taehyung|"Tae.."- She called; I could see the reflection of her anticipation in the mirror, her eyes sparkling with pure joy. "Yes, baby," I replied, savoring the warmth of the moment. The red hue that tinted her cheeks and it was enough to make my day."I am thinking to meet my father; it's been so many days since I have met him."- A concern of being exposed lingered in my mind; I turned away from the mirror, facing her directly. "But baby, you were telling me yesterday that you were not feeling well and now you want to go outside."- I expressed my concern, hoping she would reconsider.I couldn't shake off the worry that lingered in the back of my mind, one wrong step of mine and everything will be finished.She shook her head, "Yes, it was yesterday now I'm perfectly fine. Actually I ate too much sugar maybe that's why my stomach was upset."- She reassured me with a gentle smile.Unable to deny her request, I relented "Okay, after work I'll take you at
