Sweat beads forming on his forehead as he continued for what was almost an hour now.... His loud grunts could be heard from a mile away as he used all the strength in his body, not stopping until he was satisfied!!

It had been an hour since Jungkook was in his private gym, punching out his frustrations! He was breathless at this point and his body was covered in sweat.. He was wearing a grey muscle tank and black shorts.. drenched clothes hugged his toned beast like body accentuating every muscle!

"Yes boss?"

Luke hesitantly walked over to his huffing boss who was thumping the punch bag like it had stripped him off all his wealth! Even though Luke was a well built man himself, still his body trembled a little wondering why Jungkook had called him in the middle of night! Given the events of this morning, every staff including his men were a little extra cautious around him today. No one had dared to look up or tried to strike a conversation with him witnessing the traumatic events of earlier..

"I gave you one job... and you couldn't even do that properly", Jungkook spoke in a low gruffly voice landing another hard punch on the bag!

"Sorry boss, I don't know what you mean", Luke looked at him in confusion.

"I asked you to collect all information about Y/n.. every single thing", he said taking his boxing gloves off and walked over to the table to grab a towel.

"But I did boss.. I got all the information that ever existed about her... from her orphanage, college.. her friends.. neighbours.. school", he spoke convincingly awaiting a response from Jungkook who had gone silent for a moment. Luke was pretty sure he had collected all the available information about Y/n. His dedication was what had made him Jungkook's right hand man!!

"THEN..... WHO THE FUCK IS MARRKKKKKK!!!??", Jungkook slammed his fist on the table as anger seeped in to his senses.

Luke flinched a little at his sudden outburst and looked at him cluelessly..

"I'm not sure boss.... but please give me some time I will definitely look into the matter and get all the information", he assured.

"You better find the story behind this man... before I bury you 6 foot under the ground", Jungkook glared at him before walking out.

The next morning Y/n woke up and realised Jungkook was not next to her. Their conversations from last night were still going around in her mind as she stood in the shower. It felt as if something had changed between them, she was able to understand him and talk to him a little more easily than usual! Maybe she could........

"No.. no.. What the hell am I thinking", Y/n slapped her cheek softly shaking her head, brushing away the thoughts she was having!!
"I have to go and see Alice", she muttered and quickly got ready.

Walking down the stairs she couldn't see Jungkook or his dad anywhere.. it appeared they weren't home. Making her way towards the main door, Y/n found Alice in the backdoors of the Mansion watering the plants.

"Alice, are you okay?, I'm really sorry for what happened", she almost teared up giving her a little hug...

"Please, don't be sorry mam, I'm fine", she assured Y/n.

"Did you get hurt anywhere?", she looked at her worriedly.

"No, boss released me with a warning", she reassured her.

Y/n breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her response.

"Moreover, I was more scared for you, I didn't think he would spare this mistake, it was like a sin", she said softly.

"What do you mean?", Y/n asked in confusion.

Alice analysed to her surroundings before moving closer to Y/n and whispered..
"Cops at a mafia's house means losing all their power. If the word spreads out then boss can be attacked anytime for the fear of exposing all the secrets of the underworld"

Y/n swallowed a lump formed in her throat as her eyes widened in shock. 

"I'm glad Mr Jeon doesn't know about it, he would have killed you right there to prevent any further damage. Mafia families are very particular about their reputation"

"Oh my God.. I really didn't know that", Y/n panicked.

"Well, it's been taken care of now.. from what I heard, but I think you are really special to him.. anyone else would have been wiped off from this planet", she smiled a little.

Understanding the severity of damage she had done, Y/n couldn't help but feel bad about the situation. She had no idea what trouble she had called out for Jungkook.

However, hearing Alice call her someone special in her boss's life made her ponder over the important question again....

"Anyways, please don't tell anyone I talked to you about all this...", she brought Y/n back from her racing thoughts.
"I'll take your leave now", she bowed and walked towards the kitchen.

Y/n was still standing in the backyard when she saw the gigantic metal doors opening as a long queue of black cars made their way in the mansion. Jungkook was back...

But, Y/n was in no mood to face him yet. Thus, she walked back to her room and stood in her balcony observing everything from up there.

One of drivers got out and opened the door as Jungkook stepped out adjusting his zed black suit patterned in thin white stripes. His aura remained ice cold and face as hard as a rock carrying no expressions whatsoever! There were 5 mighty men surrounding him as he started to walk.

Taking steady steps towards the main door he stopped suddenly looking up in her direction. Y/n flinched a little meeting his dark gaze and turned her face to the other side. Her heartbeat fastened remembering their conversation last night and she bit her upper lip as nervousness took over her... His senses had once again unknowingly impressed her....!!!

As soon as Jungkook walked in.. his dad followed him inside wearing a dark grey suit. Luckily he didn't see Y/n standing at the balcony ogling everything! She sighed in despair as the question again popped up in her mind..

Would she marry Jungkook?
Would she spend all her life with him?
Was this event inevitable now?

But why should she marry him? She doesn't even like him. And neither does he! He can never love anyone.. Y/n had not heard this word from him ever since she had stepped a foot in his life.. He only knew how to claim.. be it people.. things.. wealth

She doesn't deserve all this...

But what else could she do.. she had tried everything
1. Trying to run away from him?.. He caught her! His men were in every single corner of this country
2. Begging him?.. He didn't have a heart to understand! He paid no heed to her feelings
3. Asking her friends for help? He had already threatened them! Their lives were already at his mercy
4. Going the legal way? Pfftt!! Who was she kidding? Jungkook was above the law! He ruled this freaking country...

What now?????? What else????

Mr Jeon Jiwon!!!!!!!!

Jungkook's dad! He could be of help to her.. Y/n pressed her lips together both her hands rested on her waist trying to think what she could say to Mr Jeon so that he could understand her. There was no point talking to Jungkook now.. His dad seemed more considerate and thoughtful than him.

Maybe she could make him understand that she could never fit into this world, this life was not meant for her! If his dad insists then Jungkook will have to let her go... he can accept a refusal if it goes through Mr Jeon! Right???

In an attempt to try her last resort, Y/n crossed her fingers and walked out of her room...

Jungkook and Mr Jeon were in the formers office, as Y/n stood at the door contemplating if it was the right time to talk as it seemed like they were in the middle of an important discussion!!

"Jungkook, do you even realise how shameful it would have been for us if the information about yesterday's scandal leaked??", his dad sounded pretty annoyed.

"It has all been taken care of, you don't need to worry about anything", Jungkook said in an unbothered tone.

Y/n couldn't help but overhear their conversation as her heart sank a little. Were they discussing the chaos she created yesterday?

"But why did she do this? Haven't you told her anything about our rules and regulations? Are you sure you still want to marry her?", his dad was starting to sound angrier.

"Yes... You wanted me to marry her. So I WILL... NO ONE CAN STOP ME NOW...I know what I am doing", Jungkook was starting to get a little frustrated.

No one.. literally no one questioned or was allowed to question his choices or decisions! He did what he wanted to..

"I am just saying.. you are the ruling heir of Jeon Empire.. and she will be equally responsible as your wife for this empire to thrive, she needs to understand this VERY CLEARLY", Mr Jeon had always been very careful about their reputation in the underworld.

Y/n was more scared of Mr Jeon at this point now. He was aware of the incident and was clearly not happy about it. She had no guts to even look into his eyes let alone talk to him.. How could she tell him she doesn't want to marry his son?? There was no way he was going to side her when he was clearly upset with her actions!!

"Can we end this discussion now?.. I have a busy day ahead...", he just wanted to divert the topic to literally anything at this point.

Mr Jeon just stared at his son who took a seat behind his desk going through some important papers turning a blind eye towards his dad's concerns... Knowing how stubborn Jungkook was, Mr Jeon could only hope Y/n wouldn't cause any further problems!!

"Anyways.. what happened to the drug deal with the Russian's?"

"They rejected our $100 Million offer."

"Just remember what I've taught you, if they don't let you get your way, then get them out of the way. Send Luke to Russia, get all the information and attack their weakest point. No one can refuse the Mafia's Boss's offer and if they do, burn them alive", his tone exuded dominance which he had successfully passed down to his only son.

Y/n couldn't believe her ears, the man she assumed to be a little more considerate than Jungkook, was even more dangerous!!!

Jungkook nodded softly at his advice, twirling the pen in his hand, already planning a hundred ways to seize this deal... Although Luke was ordered to dig information about Y/n, but this deal was very vital for his business. Luke was one of the most capable and trusted man and no one could execute this mission better than him. Thus, Jungkook would have to send him to accomplish this important assignment and Y/n's task would have to be put on hold for a couple of days...

Y/n was about to go back to her room in disappointment as her last plan was a fail as well...

"Who is at the door?", Jungkook called out in an annoyed tone.

This day was turning out to be more and more strenuous for him.. and the presence of someone eavesdropping on their heated discussion was only fuelling his anger!!

Y/n panicked wondering what to do now.... She couldn't turn back to leave.. that would upset both the father and son even more! Thus, taking a deep breath she slightly opened the door only to find Jungkook standing behind it with a rigid face...

"What are you doing here?", he asked getting irritated.

It was about time now...

"I... want to talk", her eyes restlessly hovered around the room as she played with the hem of her dress.

"Go back to your room.. I'm busy", he was about to turn around when she spoke again.

"I.. have made the decision", she glanced up at him and quickly looked at Mr Jeon before lowering her eyes again..

Jungkook folded his arm staring right into Y/n's soul.. his eyes carried a deadly vibe. He understood what she meant by 'decision' and was internally hoping she wouldn't say anything that would displease him! She was clearly not fit enough to witness his rage again!

Taking a deep breath she swallowed the lump in her throat.....

"I agree to the wedding"
