"By the way... did you find who that Mark guy is?", Jimin inquired taking a sip.

Jungkook shook his head, "Not yet. I still need to find that fucker.... Y/n was too traumatised to say anything.... I wanted to get Luke onto it, but he is in Russia for that deal..."

"I think you are taking this too seriously... maybe he was her childhood friend.. who teased her or something", Jimin said casually.

"Jimin are you crazy?.... Which friend teases you with a real snake?", Jungkook looked at his friend in disbelief..

"She was on the verge of losing her sanity at the mere sight. I'm pretty sure this is more deeper than we think... I would've personally looked into it.. but I have to leave for an urgent meeting with Carmelo in Barcelona..", he took a deep breath as Y/n's petrified face clouded his mind...

"Well... I can look into it if you are busy..", Jimin offered.

He could clearly see the concern for Y/n in Jungkook's eyes... something he had never seen before!! After seeing Jungkook struggle with an unbearable loss for years, this was the first time in 20 years a hint of concern reflected in his voice......

But not his face though!!! There was a long ....long way to that.....

"I've got Luke onto that once he completes the mission in Russia... But I won't be here when he returns... just liaise with him on the matter if you can"

"I will..... leave it to me", Jimin nodded as a little relief washed over Jungkook's mind.

Jimin and him were like brother's, if there was one person who he could trust with everything... it was him!!!!

Luckily for Y/n, the next couple of days Jungkook didn't return home.. She didn't know where he was.. he obviously never had that kind of accountability in his life towards anyone!!... Though Alice had informed that he was away.. but for how long? No one knew.... No one ever knew!!!!!

It was almost a week that she had seen him...

His dad had also left the same day and now she was all alone in his majestic but not so pure abode!!!

Y/n was also somewhat relieved at his absence. Even though they were getting married in the coming days, Jungkook's presence and touch was still very hard to come to terms with, because his ways were completely opposite to her's... She was sure by now that he will never let her go, so accepting her fate she had agreed to the marriage. It was better than spending every day in uncertainty of what he might do to her..!

However, a little part of her also longed to know his story! He was a simple man for his fans or an inspiring one for youngsters but a very complex one from deep inside, who could turn into a nightmare if triggered. He released a song once in a year or two... yet his voice was so soulful and magical! That is why he had so many admirers... He rarely attended interviews, award shows or made public appearances..!! He was extremely private and now she knew why...! Maybe his mysterious lifestyle was one of the reasons of his massive popularity!!!

Y/n was sitting in the garden, still pondering over her thoughts.. when someone tapped her shoulder...

She quickly looked behind thinking Jungkook was back, but was taken aback to find a complete stranger.....

"Hi Y/n, I am Jimin, Jungkook's friend", he extended his hand towards her.

Oh so the devil had friends too! she wondered shaking his hand lightly....

He appeared the same age as Jungkook but was leaner in appearance.... He carried a similar vibe as Jungkook but his aura was a little less intimidating!!

"I am here to see Luke, plus Jungkook asked me to check and see if you need anything"

"I need to get out of here", she mumbled under her breath.

"Huh?", Jimin struggled to comprehend her words..

"Uh.. nothing", she shook her head and smiled faintly..

"Anyways, I have him on the phone, here....", he passed the phone to her..... "talk to him".

"Hi Miss 'I need to get out of here'.." a well known voice echoed in Y/n's ears ...

Oops!!!! She panicked a little realising he heard her...

"I have dog ears baby girl, nothing goes unnoticed. I am really busy, otherwise I would've taught you a good lesson"

"When are you coming back?", she asked in monotone ignoring his wicked remark.

"Is my soon to be wife missing me?", he smirked.

"No, I want to know how much good time I have to myself", she snarled moving away from Jimin so that he couldn't hear their exchange of sharp words!

"This mouth can do a lot of talking now, I see"

Y/n couldn't help but wonder that even on the phone he wasn't less scary!!! His voice did the same job on the phone as his body did in person!!

"Why did you call?", she asked in annoyance...

"Just like that.. I wanted to hear your voice", he said softly.

She shook her head in disbelief as her heart refused to believe any of his words!!

"Stop lying...I know you were checking on me to see I don't run away..", she scoffed!

"Wow.... I'm amazed how well you've started to understand me in this short time... It's such a turn on.. I just wanna...", he seductively smacked his lips.

"Jimin is asking for his phone back", she lied unable to bear his lust filled words...

"It's funny when you try to lie", he chuckled wickedly.

"Why do you think I am lying?", she protested.

"Because..... this isn't his phone, this is for you"

"What?.. really?", she asked skeptically..

"Yeah..."

Y/n could barely hold her excitement!!

"Thanks...", she pressed her lips to contain her happiness!

"I have to go now, but I will call you later, don't miss my call"...

Saying this Jungkook disconnected the call...

"Do you need anything before I go?", Jimin asked as Y/n walked backed.

She shook her head....

"Alright then, I will see you later. I am going to see Luke before I leave", his hand was mid air as his phone rang..

"Don't you dare shake hands with her again", a familiar voice growled with aggression..

Jimin looked around in confusion and noticed CCTV cameras hidden everywhere. It was a mafia's house, of course it had to be well secured!!

Jungkook was monitoring the mansion ever since he left, it was not only to keep an eye on Y/n but also for her safety as she was alone....

As soon as Jimin left, Y/n walked inside taking a seat in the living room with her eyes glued onto the screen exploring the features and functions of her new gadget!!!

Leaning back on his chair he continuously stared at the laptop screen as a little smirk formed on his lips witnessing the happiness radiating on Y/n's face...

"Did you find anything??", Jimin grabbed the paper's from Luke's hand and as they both walked towards his car...

"I tried my best... this is the most I could get. However, I doubt this is of any use. Boss will not be happy", Luke sighed..

"Don't worry.. I will take it from here", Jimin assured.

Reaching his villa, Jimin walked into his office and got to work...

He examined the papers carefully.. but none of it was new information!!! He had almost given up when....

"What's this?", he mumbled to himself as his eyes caught a little receipt from 'VALENCIA CITY HOSPITAL'....

It was an old dusty paper with almost unreadable words due to the smeared ink..

Jimin was about to chuck it away in disaapointment..when a particular word gained his attention and his eyes widened in shock!!!

"Fuck", he mumbled under his breath...

His body was almost numb reading the information and mind stopped working....

"No...... this is impossible...''

"How can this be true???.... Y/n is......?????", Jimin could not even gather the courage to complete the sentence..

How was he supposed to tell this to Jungkook?

Tell Jungkook???? No way..... He had wanted more information.. but not the kind that would cost Y/n her life!!

"Jungkook can't know about this.. he will burn Y/n alive!!!!", his eyes hovered around the room as both hands rested on his shocked face...

Jimin knew the intensity of his friend's temper!! This information had to be hidden... for the sake of Y/n and Jungkook both!!!

"Yes, Jungkook? What do you want now?", Y/n answered the phone in irritation.

"You", he smirked over the phone.

"Stop messing with me", she stated in a frustrated tone.

"Watch your tone Y/n, this will cost you later", he snarled.

She rolled her eyes at his response....

Ever since Jimin left, Jungkook had been constantly calling every half an hour or so and for no apparent reason!

"Bye...", she disconnected the call and decided to turn off her phone to escape these awkward conversations!!!

It was 7 in the evening and Y/n was taking a shower as her new phone blasted out her favourite music! She couldn't deny the relaxation she felt humming to those lighthearted tunes!! For once, she was enjoying herself!

She had turned her mobile back on an hour ago but to her surprise Jungkook had not called even once. She was suspicious at first, but later brushed it off thinking maybe he was busy.

After dressing herself in a long t-shirt and shorts, Y/n blow dried her hair while still humming...

Suddenly the shuffled playlist started playing Jungkook's songs. An unreadable expression spread across her face and her throat dried up!

Dead silence panned across the room that was filled with melodious voices as she closed the app.

Turning the light off she walked out of the dressing room...

"Why did you stop?"

Y/n gasped in fear turning around at the sudden deep voice that occupied the quiet surroundings.

Lying sideways on the bed with legs hanging down, hands locked behind the head and closed eyes....That deep raspy voice was quick enough to fill the room with his strong existence....

"Y..you are b..back already?", Y/n asked taking slow steps towards the bed..

Her heart was hammering against the chest at his unexpected return!!

"I had to leave my work in the middle, because something else needed my attention", he sighed staring at the ceiling.

"What?", she gulped.

"You!", saying this he pulled her arm harshly making her land on him as his one arm circled around her waist and other hand grabbed her face.

Her breathing fastened and she squirmed to ease his tight hold!!!

"Did you think turning the phone off was a good idea?", Jungkook's fingers tightened across her jaw...

Anger was clearly evident on his handsome face as he stared right into her eyes!

"I..it ran out battery", she stuttered.

"Oh, really?"

She nodded swiftly....

Before she could speak her spanked her clothed ass with his rough hand.

"I hate lies, Y/n."

She shut her eyes tightly and hissed with pain.

"Now you will learn the consequences of lying to me"

Jungkook tossed Y/n on the bed with her stomach flat against the bed and pulled her shorts down giving him a full view of her already red ass from the one slap he gave earlier....!!!

"What...."

"NOT.A.WORD.", his dominating voice was enough to seal her lips!!!

He gave her another tight one as she screamed..

"Stop screaming, otherwise I will spank you harder"

"Please stop....it's hurting, I won't do this again", she urged sealing her lips to contain her scream.

Y/n's fists tightened around the bedsheets as Jungkook continued....

"This won't stop until I want, your pleadings are useless, baby girl." he scoffed..

Jungkook was enjoying this sight to the fullest! Even though this was hardly anything in comparison to his strength... he realised Y/n was too delicate!! His parts twitched imagining the ways he will ravish her every night... Resisting her was becoming tougher every passing day!!!

Finally, he stopped and leaned on his elbow facing her....

Y/n quickly pulled her shorts up and turned on her side as well, before his evil mind could have a go again seeing her exposed area!!

"You are a terrible person", she murmured...

Their postures were mirroring each other as their eyes met...

"This was nothing, I can be much worse", he poked his cheek as a satisfactory smile spread on his lips!!

"Of course you can", she mumbled steering her gaze away.

"EYES ON ME", he pulled her closer....

"I don't trust you, get away from me", she tried to push him away but his hard muscular body did not even budge once.

"Did you really come back early because of this?", she looked at him and pouted slightly.

"Partly.... plus Spain wasn't that fun without you!", he teased...

Jungkook had always been travelling to Spain, it was a mid congregation point of all his important meetings and deals.. It was a safe zone as no Underworld Empire ruled there...

But this time, it did feel a little empty to him.. like something was missing.. maybe because the most precious thing of that country was now in his Mansion!!

In the past year, every time he visited Spain... there was a longing to see her!! There were times when he had almost lost his patience over his master plan and wanted to bring Y/n into his world willingly or unwillingly, but somehow held himself back to let things unfold organically...!!

And now she was here.... Next to him!!!

Y/n froze at her place and tears welled up in her eyes remembering her life in Valencia...

"Y..you went to Spain?"

He nodded...

"Can you take me along when you go next time please?", she swallowed hesitantly wondering if she had invited trouble when clearly going to Spain meant her friend's lives were in danger.

Staring into her glistening eyes, he cupped her cheek, "Do you really want to go?"

She shivered a little at his touch and nodded slowly, "But please don't hurt my friends"

"I will take you when I go next time, but you know the deal Y/n!", his voice even though low was laced with a warning...

Jungkook's rules were clear as a crystal! No matter who you were... you go against him then suffer the consequences... He was clearly hinting her to not try and outsmart him, which was useless anyways! It obviously wasn't easy to get out of his clutches...

Both stared at each other briefly.... She was about to say something when....

'AHHH!!!!!!", Y/n screamed as Jungkook spanked her again! It wasn't a hard one but she was already in pain due to this previous one's...!!!

"Don't turn off the phone on me next time", and walked out of her room...

Later at night....

Jungkook was standing at his balcony smoking, as he dialled the only trustable number on his phone...

"Hey bro!!! Congratulations on securing that billion dollar drug deal", Jimin exclaimed...

But Jungkook was more interested in the task he had assigned.. Suddenly Y/n was more important to him than any celebration of his achievements..!!!!

"Did you find anything?", he awaited a positive response from the other side..

Jimin was still digesting the information that had come into light when Jungkook called him... He had secretly hoped his friend would forget about it for sometime, to celebrate, now that he had proved his power again in the Mafia world strengthening the roots of the Jeon Empire to the far snow covered lands of Russia!

But his question clearly reflected that his priority was something else at this moment....

Jimin took a deep breath and closed his eyes pressing his lips together... His heart trembled a little anticipating Jungkook's reaction!!

"Yes"
