Wearing a black hanbook, with a white ribbon in her hair, Katarina shed many fake tears in front of the storm of reporters in front of the mortuary room, while answering their questions regarding the sudden death of Min Ho, that came out of nowhere, accompanied by Seokjin who was trying to comfort her in front of the crowds.

Coming up with a valid reason for the death, was no difficult task for Katarina who had prepared everything in advance, the viagra that Taehyung has induced him, was necessary to rule the death as heart attack caused by a mix between cocaine which already accelerate the heart rhythm especially in case of overdose, and also, the use of a vasodilatator which increase the sexual erection, and speed up the heart rate, winning by that cause, the pity of the society who are now seeing Min Ho as the cheater of the century, who left his wife behind to enjoy a whore who brought doom over his head.

Taking under control the company and ruling over it, is no longer problematic, not when the public opinion is siding with her, winning by that Min Ho's partners as well as the shareholders, whom now have no option but accepting her, not to mention, the fake will left behind, proofing that Min Ho during his life, wanted for Katarina to take over his assets in case of a sudden death and the lack of an heir, which was their case.

"Katarina-ssi, we need to talk"

Taehyung whispered in her ear, trying his best to avoid peaky eyes, his matter seemed urgent for him to call her inside the funeral parlour, requesting an urgent private meeting, in one of the empty rooms whose purpose is relax.

"What is the matter Taehyung?"

"I found the rat, and also, the boss"

Katarina never imagined that her world that was turning according to her plans and tricks, would ever go out of her control, it was impossible, not when she just took care of a huge disturbance, she deserved time to free her mind from problems, and to focus on her life with Jungkook, but life was planning differently for her.

"Park Jimin, and I have proofs, he is working for an infamous mob, who seems to have approached your deceased husband with some kind of intention, Jung Hain, according to my reports, he grow up in Russia, do you happen to know him?"

The name that she tried to erase from her head ever since she turned eighteen, the only face she dreamt about for more than ten years, her nightmares and dreams were all related to that only person for more than ten years, tormenting her with guilt and pity, reminding her of the person she was and the one she became, hearing that name again after that long time, wasn't pleasurable for her ears, not when she suffered a great deal only to forget it, not now, when another person made her heart beat again.

However, that was her destiny, and she should know more than anyone else, that there is no running from one's destiny.

"Jung Hain? Are you sure Taehyung? The man is dead, it's not possible"

Having witnessed the death of the man with her eyes ten years ago, only to be informed by Taehyung that he is behind Jimin's betrayal made no sense at all, she suffered for longer than she could remember , only to know that the man could be a potential enemy, Katarina couldn't believe how much far life could go only to test her patience.

"I'm sure Katarina-ssi, how do you want me to take care of it?"

"Is Seokjin aware?"

"Not yet"

"Exclude Jimin from our meetings from now on, I will handle your brother, so you better keep Jimin safe, I will give further orders later"

Thankfully, her intelligence, and strong emotional management, helped her in times like these, making it easier for her to come out with rational plans, to avoid facing big losses, although the situation she was facing was no normal one, not when she thought the man was already death, a man about whom she knows nothing, no pressure points, nor strength ones, she was facing an enemy in his playground, while being in the dark, a situation she never went through.

Such a complicated fate.

Katarina went out from the small room, not focusing on anything in her entourage, only Taehyung's words echoing in her head, making her way to the funeral parlour, in which she was surprised by the presence of Jungkook, who was paying respect to the deceased, wrapped in his black suite, his long hair styled neatly, giving a clear view to his features, the scars on his face faded, beside the one in his eyebrow, that deep cut gave him a dangerous aura, reason for which the guests at the parlour avoided him, a man with scars and tattoos was never welcomed in the society, especially, the rich one.

"Condolences Katarina-ssi, I'm sorry for your loss"

"What brought you here, you should be at home Jungkook-ssi"

He should have expected such a cold answer when he decided to pop out of nowhere, like some kind of old friend, or some kind of acquaintance, in the funeral of her husband, obviously, his presence won't go unnoticed from the crowds, an attention that he should have avoided in the first place, his presence was unjustified, and uncalled for.

However the man cannot be blamed, not when she was the reason he gathered his guts to come forth, he sincerely wished to be with her in such a sad occasion, to be by her side, and to provide her comfort, again, he cannot be blamed, not when she was the first to stir up his dormant feelings.

She is to blame.

"I just came to provide my deep condolences, and I will be out now, take care"

Watching his leaving figure disappearing and fading with every step he took, pierced in her heart like a knife, it wasn't her intention in the beginning to hurt him with her words, the events she was undergoing are to blame, the situation is to blame, the fact that her mind got clouded again by the presence of Hain is to blame, however, she was supposed to keep her calm as she usually did, hurting Jungkook that way was very much unlike her, and so unnecessary.

"How it feels Katarina, being the chairwoman of two big companies, you hit the jackpot"

"Oppa, we need to talk"

"We are talking now aren't we, anyway let me tell you that the best decision you ever made is getting rid of that useless husband of yours, you lived up to your name Katarina, you have my respect"

"Oppa, let's stay quit about that matter, and hear me out please"

Katarina tried to gain Seokjin attention, in order to inform him about Jimin's betrayal, little she knew, that her penthouse was no safe place for such talks, not with Jungkook who seems to have grown a like on a new habit, eavesdropping to her conversation with Seokjin, and collecting information.

However the man wasn't interested in their business not a bit, the only thing that succeeded in catching his attention is what Seokjin talked about, saying that he was shocked would definitely be an understatement, the man seemed to be splashed with ice-cold water on the face, he couldn't believe what he just heard, he seemed to have forgot her real character, he was blinded by her soft acts, and his feelings, which have masked her in front of her eyes, giving him a different picture about her, a barely lovable one, which in the end was a great deception to him, bringing him into her den.

"Oppa, Taehyung found the rat, and he is from your side, but I need you to promise me that you will keep you calm, I have a different plan to take care of him, actually, to use him to our benefit"

"Who's the bastard Katarina, don't drag it"

"Park Jimin"

Seokjin has always treated Jimin as a little brother, after having met the man in a sad encounter, when Jimin lost his girlfriend who shielded him from a knife that was pointed to him from the loan shark, dying right in front of his eyes, and between his arms, Seokjin took pity on the man, having witnessed it all on a night he was drunk and emotional, he paid the loan shark, and took care of the mob afterward to revenge for the death girl, and bring peace to Jimin's heart, a strong bond formed between the two, and with the capacities Jimin showed, Seokjin took a like on the latter's ways, making him his personal assistant, Seokjin changed Jimin's life 180 degrees, he bought for him a land in Daegu for the third anniversary of their collaboration, which value exceeded one million dollar, the lad that wasn't even able to meet monthly expenses, or even daily ones, started to familiarise his self with brands he never knew they existed courtesy to Seokjin's generosity, a generosity that he paid back with betrayal.

Such a bastard.

" Are you sure, I mean Jimin won't ever think about stabbing me in the back this way Katarina"

Seokjin always showed a strong side of himself, however, this instance was different, forcing Seokjin to show a completely different comportment, his eyes glistered while looking at Katarina, almost pleading that every thing he heard is a huge misunderstanding, going as far as thinking that Taehyung accused the lad out of jealousy or some other hidden reasons, which definitely wasn't the case.

" Taehyung will keep us updated, and for the moment oppa, we don't know his reasons, so let's wait and see, in all cases, I don't want you to let him sense that we are aware, act like you'd usually do with him, let's keep a low profile for the moment"

The man from the thunderbolt he received, took his leave quietly, without listening the rest of the story, and without uttering further words, the blow was huge for him, almost unbearable, leaving him speechless.

The day was a long one, but the events seemed to be unfinished, not giving her a break to take a breath, nor the time to collect her thoughts that were all around the place, entering to Jungkook's room to distract her disturbed self, and to apologies for her rudeness, Katarina received another blow, seeing the man packing his stuff, almost ready to leave the place.

"What are you doing?"

"Can't you see for yourself?"

Jungkook made his mind, he won't change his mind only to surrender to her threats, he was no coward, he followed her only to save his son, now that he had his hands on the latter, thanks to his win, he couldn't care less about whatever threats she may throw to him, in fact, the man prepared his self for the worst, dying at that place with a bullet from her gun wasn't something he feared, it seemed a better option for him than staying in her place after what he heard.

" I asked a question, and I expect an answer Jungkook"

"Watch your manners, you were the one to care about honorific in the first place, and to answer your question, I'm leaving this place Katarina Park"

His countenance was full of abhor and loath, she hated the way he looked at her, it was simply not acceptable after all she did for him, she regretted having shown him her soft side, and moreover, she hated herself for having let her feelings show, making her vulnerable and weak, giving him space to show her defiance which is not absolutely accepted.

" You better get your acts together, I'm in no mood to stand your childish acts again, unpack, and sleep or..do what it please you without getting on my nerves"

" You think you can order me around, with which right?"

Avoiding his question, Katarina turned around, ready to leave his room, she was in no position to stand his acts, her mind was already full with everything taking place, adding a fight with Jungkook to her long list of problems wasn't an appealing instance.

Little she knew that the man had different thoughts, surely, giving up wasn't one of them, and absolutely not following her orders, he wasn't the type to listen to orders in the first place, and by now she should have known the type of person he is, in the end, that was the reason he attracted her in the first place.

" I won't participate on that damn fight, I'm withdrawing you hear me"

His words halted her from taking further steps, he was overstepping all the limits, and her patience started wearing out.

"You think it's that simple Jungkook-ssi?"

"No hard thing for me"

" Its the last time I'm telling you, don't test me"

" What you'd do Katarina Park, you think I'm scared, if so then let me tell you, I'm not scared, and if you want to kill me the way you killed your husband, then be my guest, I won't stop you"

Looking at his dark eyes, while listening to the words that pierced inside her soul, Katarina felt a huge urge to slap his face bringing some sense to his numb head, a feeling that she succeeded in containing, not really wanting to hurt his pride further, in the end, the man was facing a huge misunderstanding, no one can blame him, he was in the dark about many details, he only knew the outcome, and he didn't bother his self to dig more before spitting poisonous words right to her face.

" I'd appreciate it if you stay away from my business, mind yours it'd be better"

" That's exactly what I'm planning to do before getting entangled more in this madness, I'm out"

Jungkook grabbed his back, and led his way to the door, pushing her to the side, her delicate figure almost stumbled from the amount of strength he used, her eyes widened at his acts, she was barely containing her self from taking out her gun, and pointing it into his head, stopping him from leaving, when she remembered the card on her hold still.

" The heart for your son, I have it, and its ready for the transplant, but if you want to leave, that's up to you, in the end you're his father, and you know better how much he needs the transplant more than I do, so, the choice is yours as always Jeon Jungkook-ssi"

Jungkook throw his bag on the ground, turning around to face her figure, he took quick steps towards her, pushing her aggressively to the bed behind her, hovering over her beneath him, he firmly grabbed her neck which made it difficult for her to breath, as his strong grasp was forbidding air from reaching her airways, his eyes turned into demonic ones, full of hatred, ready to grave her in her spot, to his surprise though, she didn't even fought him back, looking at him straight in the eyes, without showing not even a bit of fear while fighting for her dear life under his mercy.

"You little bitch, how far you wanna reach with those acts of yours"

" I know you won't kill me, and I know the reason as well, it is the same as mine so give up"
