The strong smell of urine filled the dark warehouse. It was stinky, dirt everywhere, the place seemed old and untouched by humans since quite the long time, perfect to serve the purpose it had for tonight.

The small fire that was lit inside the little keg which was placed between the two chairs, right in the middle, brought some warmth the their figures in that chilly night. The warmth carried by the soft braze of spring only lasted during day-time, in contrast, the nights were on the colder side, she should have definitely opted for a thicker jacket.

But it was fine, she could warm her body and soul soon.

Taehyung was sitting in a chair behind her, close enough to cover her back, legs spread, while the smoke of his cigarette twirled around, adding a stinkier smell inside the place, covering a bit the existing one. He was musing at the situation, he fulfilled his task beautifully, now, he let others to take care of the rest, while taking a bit of rest, harvesting the fruits of his hard work.

Their hard work.

" Why digging in my personal life? I'm really disappointed, it goes against our job ethics, weren't you aware?"

" Ah my dear Katarina, you should have been wise choosing your partner, the difference between him and your late husband is just..hmm let me think about an adequate adjective to describe it... huge darling, on the negative side of course"

" Taehyung-ah, I need your help to recall a lost memory, have I ever requested this man's opinion regarding my private matters?"

" As far as I know, you haven't"

She was being sarcastic, mocking the men in front of her, only to piss them more, to bring out the rage they have been trying hardly to oppress and hide. They were trying to keep their dignity, in the end, they're important figures, and he was a huge colossal in their line of work, sadly, that pride of his would be scattered, and tarnished soon.

" Your father would have never approved such a relation, and you know it"

" So you have decided to carry on his tasks as his friend, I feel moved about it, such a good friend you are uncle, you have my respect for that"

She smirked as her gaze moved from the older man, to meet Hain's eyes, which were buried in her figure, scrutinizing her acts, and carefully listening to her words, while he was sitting in her execution seat.

" Hain-ssi, I guess I have paid for the bill between us fully, not only, I also gave you a chance to start again, without punishing your dreadful acts, getting yourself involved in such a situation, was it a wise choice for you?"

The man has no fear in his eyes, seems like the situation he was in haven't sinked enough in his brain, or he still haven't weighed it the correct way. A sardonic smirk plastered on his face, as he look at her from head to toe before uttering his words.

" Seeking my profit dear Katarina, business is business, and you're a woman who knows exactly what that means"

" Hain-ssi, you still have a long way to gain the necessary wisdom to survive in this field, I feel pathetically sorry that I will cut short your career"

It was a plan she worked on ever since Taehyung completed his investigation, she couldn't sit around looking at the danger Jungkook was putting his self into, he was being brain washed by the head jury, involving him in dangerous affairs, and trying to show an image of Katarina to him, that was far away from reality.

Since he helped Jungkook out from prison, convincing him to break free from that deal he had with Katarina by playing in the Munera, the head jury's profit got doubled, he wasn't anymore obliged to change the player which could have caused him a great loss, also, it made it easy to plant jealousy and doubts inside Jungkook's heart, as he have kept tabs on Katarina, he was well aware that she'd be accompanied by one of her trusted men to the colosseum, being it Taehyung or Seokjin it didn't matter to him, as far as he could mislead Jungkook, and light the fire inside his heart, using the brothers as his gasoil, and the imprisonment situation as his lighter. Such a clever man.

The reason behind the hate the man bored for Jungkook, was actually his past, which Jungkook wasn't even aware of. The cause behind his business crisis back in the time, when he was forced to seek shelter in Mr. Park's house in Russia, the famous situation that has created a bond between the two old men, was no one else but Jungkook's father, who at that time, worked with the head jury, he was actually one of his trusted men, the closest to him, a person whom he had entrusted with his business and opened his house and heart for, only to be shocked in the end, that the man worked with the police as an informant, providing them with details about his tax invasions and shady deals, which ended up in a serious investigation from the prosecutors office, both criminal and financial department.

His loss was big, he was wanted for years, and he ended up forced to change his real identity just to be able to regain entry to his country without being arrested. Another thing that has added rage to his troubled state, was that Mr. Jeon helped his ex wife to escape from him, the man has abused his wife in all ways, almost leading her to insanity with his psychopathic behavior, the woman had all rights to flee from him, and Mr. Jeon acted as her black knight, saving her from the tyranny of her husband. When the man finally found his way back home, he figured that his house has been seized by the authorities, whilst his son escaped to the states, and his wife disappeared to the unknown.

As he saw Jungkook in the first Munera, the man seemed familiar to him, the curiosity was big enough to lead him to investigate on the guy, he had saw in the past Jungkook with the late Mr. Jeon, but at that time the man was still a young child, even though, the geezer didn't fail to recognize him. His desire for a long awaited and perhaps even buried revenge grown, while patiently waiting for the right moment to come, he laid different plans for his vengeance, until the easiest one came until his reach.

Rome wasn't built in a day they said, the man really took by the ancient's words, and waited, patiently.

But again, he was blinded by revenge, which led him to make big mistakes. He failed to weigh Katarina's involvement.

" You should have forgot the past uncle, heaven has paid you fully for your loss, do you think that running behind a child who has no idea about whatever was between two adults is something that suits you?"

" Darling, debts are to be paid, if his father left him indebted, that's no-one of my business, I need to collect what is mine in the end"

"Untie us" Hain said without considering to hide his ordering demeanor.

" Hain-ssi, you may want to take a look at your surroundings, does it seem like you are in a position to give me orders? I personally advise you to keep your calm, my men aren't that patient, especially the one behind me" .She pointed at Taehyung.

" Why in hell so obsessed with that ignorant man, are you really going to risk it all just to take your stupid revenge for him? You will be opening a hell door, you think your life won't be burned to ashes?"

She let a loud smile while clapping her hands, she was mused by their desperate persuasion, it almost seemed like pleas to her ears, however, she had no intention to be a forgiving angel. The concept tonight was more of a devil who broke out from hell.

" Uncle, listen, I really appreciate you care about me, you acted as a father figure to me for a long time, which I'm still thankful for, however, you should have know better than anyone else, that I can't let anyone play with what is mine. Let's just say that you were unlucky, and you have been tempted by the forbidden, sadly"

"Being a wise businesswoman, I don't think you'd risk your empire for a lowly life"

" Uncle, if you ask your man there, he'd tell you how much far I can go when it comes to people I care for, when its about breaking laws I have already stated beforehand"

Katarina knew that Jungkook would never give up on the life the head jury provided him, he cannot be blamed though, he finally started leading a semi-normal life, a chance he never dreamt of came until his feet, how could he kick it? And why would he only to satisfy her request. She knew better than convincing him with empty words without sustaining her stance with proofs, however, without putting him on greater risk, she decided to swipe the source of any danger before it could become prominent. She couldn't afford loosing him, not when she just gained him back, not when their relation finally got stable, the promising future that started shining in front of them needed to stay away from any darkness.

Protection purposes.

Katarina stood up from her chair, leading her way toward the tied geezer, leveling her body to meet his eyes, Katarina smirked cunningly while looking at his desperate state.

" I don't take risks, I suppress risks. I challenged hell long ago, when I took out the biggest rival of mine, and believe me that person was way stronger than you, and also, someone I had a different bond with." She tilted her head, and looked at the floor while letting a soft sigh before speaking further.

" My own mother, dear uncle"

Katarina straightened her posture, she looked up at the old ceiling of the warehouse, as her hand went to her pocket, looking for her packet of cigarette, Taehyung reached to her, lighting the cigarette for her with his lighter, he took off his coat, and hanged it on her shoulders.

" Bring some warmth to the gentlemen, respect the nature though, let's be ecologic"

Katarina locked her arm with Taehyung, and left the place, leaving the tied men behind, watching her men spreading gasoil on the entire warehouse as ordered by her.

Indeed, a devil from hell.

The ride was silent, she seemed drowned in deep thoughts. No blame on her, she suffered greatly while trying to save Jungkook from the danger he was oblivious about, it was no easy task to collect the information, as Jungkook never accepted to talk with her about his new life, even though their relation improved ever since that night, it has became a normal relation she never dreamt to have, or maybe, it was the relation she visioned back in the past, before reaching her eighteenth birthday.

They were laying on the bed together, her head over his chest, while his arms wrapped around her, enjoying a movie of his choice, a beautiful scene that has never took place in her hectic life, something that didn't match her style when it came to intimate relations, she was someone who has never allowed a man before him to sleep in her bed after having satisfied her carnal desires. But with him it was different, ever since the beginning of their journey, ever since she landed eye on him.

"Kook, I'm hungry love"

"Shall I cook for you?"

"Wow, I'll be eating from the great Jeon Jungkook tonight, I'm delighted"

"Stop your sarcasm, what you wanna eat babe?

" Anything, I guess I'll trust the chef on that"

Watching him preparing her meal, a beautiful smile adorned her lips, it was surprising for her how much of a great impact he had on her, his presence was more that enough to bring her inner peace, to fill her life with joy and happiness. It was still shocking how far they went, how much of a big change their relation has witnessed, not to mention her character that has changed 180 degrees, she finally reconciled with her own self, she found her old self with him, the innocent person she had lost in that dependance ten years ago.

" Stop the car Taehyung"

The car halted in the middle of the highway, the breeze of the chilly night was stronger near the Han river, she inhaled deeply as if she had been deprived of oxygen all the past time. Her gaze fell on the wrist-watch on her hand, a smile that couldn't reach her eyes drawn on her lips, it was a failed camouflage for the sadness that has downed her while looking at the shiny object on her hand, trail of tragic memories invaded her brain, some of them were old ones, but the one that has disturbed her more was the way she carved letters on his chest mercilessly, the images of his bleeding skin made her close her eyes, trying as best as she could to fire them away from her mind.

Getting closer to the bridge, enough to look at the deep water of the river, Katarina thought about the souls that decided to bury their selves in the cold river, looking at the words written on bridge-rails, she smirked at the deep meaning they held, however, they seemed shallow to those whom only purpose was ending their own existence to get rid of their burden.

Taking her hand out of her pocket, she gave a final look at the watch her mom had given her, it has been lingering in her wrist for ten years, reminding her everyday without failure about the change that metallic thing has brought to her life. A final look before she thrown the watch into the river, looking intently as it has drowned in the cold water.

I've never been like you mom, you sure made me similar to you with time, but I have regained my self again, I broke free tonight.

Her buzzing phone recollected her lost attention, bringing her back from her trance when she saw the id of the caller.

" Where are you?"

" On my way home love"

Katarina appointed Jungkook as the chairman of Min Ho group, while Taehyung became the CEO as she promised him for the holding and also the subsidiaries.

She couldn't provide details about the sudden death of the head jury to Jungkook, but the witnesses she had were more than convincing to make Jungkook give up on that business and turn another page maybe even another chapter of his life with all she had provided for him to start anew.

Taehyung invited everyone to his wedding from Jimin's sister, in the end, what has started as a plan has became some real feelings, the man fell in love at first sight although it seemed impossible for a guy like him, it was just far from his character and the aura he radiated. Everyone beside Seokjin who has decided to take a leave to the states with his sick wife in order to tend to her attended the wedding, Katarina made sure to prepare a grandiose ceremony for the young Kim, she was happy the man finally settled.

Jungkook's son grown attached to Katarina who tended to him ever since he was in the hospital although her busy schedule, Jungkook his self grown jealous from the beautiful relation between his son and his woman, she often kicked him from her room just to sleep with the child who barged almost every time into their personal space, with the same excuse "I had a nightmare".

" You need to stop spoiling him, he's a man"

"What has gender to do with me doing my duty taking care of a child?"

" Common you know what I mean, he will grow weak this way"

" Are you perhaps an attention seeker?"

Jungkook leaned toward her standing figure, enclosing with every step the distance between them.

"I feel ignored lately, are you growing bored of me?"

"You whine a lot Jungkook, your brain's age is literally less than your son's"

The beautiful midi dress suited her perfectly, it has matched the black tuxedo Jungkook opted for. The classic music playing in the background made them feel as they're the mains of the night, standing close to each other while their gaze fixed on each other, forgetting about their surroundings and the ceremony they were in.

" To satisfy your continuous request for attention, I have something to propose"

" I'm listening to my powerful woman, alway proposing deals, appealing and sexy attitude, I like it"

Shoving her hand in her purse, Katarina took out from it a black velvety box, grabbing with her actions Jungkook's attention, making his eyes widen, and jaw drop low.

As she took out the ring from the box, she called for Jungkook's son before taking further steps.

" Cheer me on" she said to the young lad.

" Jeon Jungkook, will you marry me? as per my vows, I'll skip them,  I already gave them to you"

" To my last breaths, I'll make sure you never shed a tear Katarina, I take you as my bride, for the rest of my life"
