I heard Y/n scream.. it felt like my soul had left my body for a second...

"No... ", I screamed in a fit of rage...

"Oh I didn't kill her....", Carmelo chuckled at the phone...

"YET"
He added to once again exert the power he had over me in this moment...

"You have precisely 1 hour and 59 minutes... transfer all your businesses in my name. Everything owned under Jeon's should be registered under Carmelo Tocci now..!! "...

I listened to his crap with anger slowly seething into my veins...

"Oh and just a word of advice Jungkook.."
"YOU will be responsible for whatever happens to your wife next.. So be careful..!! Don't try to act smart..!"

And the phone disconnected...

I took less than a minute to compose myself... it was not the time to lament the present but take action..

"You and Lee come and see me in the office", I called Luke and walked towards my workspace as dad and Jimin followed...

"Boss, I've got the location...!! It's an hour away.."

I was about to rejoice when a thought struck me and a couple of seconds passed while processing it..

"What's wrong Jungkook? Let's go..!! What are you thinking??", Jimin looked at me eager to make a move...

"Why would he keep Y/n so close to us? He could've easily left the country.. He knows I can get to him the easiest here..."

There had to be a bigger reason for this....

"What's the location??", I asked Luke who was working on his laptop...

"An abandoned warehouse at Selco Island"

"Selco..??", Jimin exclaimed..

It was as much of a shock to me as it was to him... Selco Island?.. I was no stranger to that place and who owned it...!!

My greatest rival... My fiercest Opponent.. and even Bigger Critique.. We studied together.. Graduated together.. There was always an unspoken competition between me and him..! But every match was always a draw.. Neither he gave up.. nor did I..

I rule the land, while he rules the water.. We swore on our wealth and made a pact not to step into or meddle into each other's territories...
Clearly that was going to change very soon!!!!

I scoffed at the way Carmelo's mind worked.... He purposely took Y/n there because he knew it was hard to get there....

Jimin looked at me with expressions that said 'IT'S NOT HARD.. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!"

But I was determined.. Even if I had to destroy the World, I would..! No pact holds more importance than MY WIFE... and MY CHILD... A little voice whispered inside me...

'YOU UNDERESTIMATED THE EXTENT OF MY INSANITY CARMELO, JEON JUNGKOOK CAN EVEN DESTROY THE DIVINE POWERS FOR HIS LADY....!'

"How do we get there..? Knowing him.. he wouldn't even let us around 100 meters of his territory", Jimin looked at me with concern...

"He Will... He Fucking Will", I slammed my fist on the table in anger...

"Jungkook.. Calm Down..! Don't start another war.. You know our priority at this moment is Y/n.. It will be very hard to control the chaos if we stand against him!!"

"What do we do then??", Lee looked at me...
"Boss.. do you want me to negotiate with them???"

"We don't have that much time.... The only way for HIM to understand is through me... "

"Jungkook that's dangerous..! You know they will shoot you, even before you step a foot down..!!", dad said...

"If that's the only way to get to Y/n.. Then I don't care...!!"
"Get my jet ready... I don't having the fucking patience to sit through the ferry"

"What will you do if he doesn't let you enter in??"

"We will see..."

Me and Jimin rushed towards my helipad after laying out instructions for the rest of our plan..

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Hmm... So how was it? Was I intimidating enough?", Carmelo scoffed in mockery as Y/n looked at him in disbelief...

And then she smirked...
"Count your breaths.. HE IS COMING... VERY VERY SOON.. HE WILL DESTROY YOU..!!!"

"Oh..! Is that so??", he fisted her hair roughly as she eyed him...

"Watch your mouth bitch..!!! This attitude may turn your Mafia Husband on.. but I will cut you to pieces and feed them to rats...."

"LOWER YOUR FUCKING EYES!!!", he screamed at her face....

He shoved Y/n's away hair and walked towards the exit and stood there..

"Keep dreaming... even if God descend's down to this earth to help him, Jungkook cannot come here!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE..!"

Y/N'S POV
I took a couple of shallow breaths to calm myself from what I had just endured... A little tear escaped from my eye as I looked down at my stomach...

The test that Dr Mason gave me was actually POSITIVE..! The moment I took it my mind could only think of one thing.. I had to tell Jungkook...!!! I wanted to run into his arms and tell him.. That he was going to be a DAD..!!! It was so hard to contain my excitement..!! But as per his instructions it was impossible to contact him..! Gosh why were the circumstances like so difficult??

But Dr Mason had to know so that he could advise me on the correct diet and precautions... I walked out with an almost flushed face with trembling hands and just stood frozen at the gate masking my quivering voice....! But then I noticed he wasn't the only one present there.. there was a female nurse accompanying him, Alice and two other helpers..! I was scared..!! What if this leaks out and they try to hurt my baby?? No, I couldn't take the risk..! I didn't trust anyone..! So I had to lie.. To keep it safe...

Luckily, Jungkook called some days later.. I was overjoyed...! And then he finally came... but what did he do? Unravelled his dirty game plan!! The amount of hatred in his eyes was making one thing clear: He was disgusted my very own blood..!!! My existence was troubling his conscience.... Would he accept our child?? I couldn't trust him at that point.. Jungkook and Aggression were not a good combination..!!! So, I wanted to run away... start a new life.. And then Azzurra came over and tossed another hurdle my way...

But now after knowing the truth... I am at crossroads again..!
What will happen next?? I know he would be coming anytime soon.. But is that for me?? Or does he want possession of our baby??

We are both victims of our cruel destinies Jungkook, but if for once you could've trusted me? Rather than declaring me the culprit!! Things would've been so much simpler..

Will we be able to go back to normal after all the things he has said and done to me??? Can I forgive him for what he's done to me...??? I don't know...

In about 25 minutes were in Selco's airspace... I knew HE had already spotted the 'Golden Lion' symbol prominently gracing my Black Private Jet...!

And..... as I had expected I was greeted by his army... A line of 6'5 ft tall soldiers, who were specially trained by feeding small doses of Box Jellyfish poison every day... HE had indeed mastered the art of ruling over a major part of Earth.. 'The Ocean'...

HIS family had ruled all the islands surrounding our Mainland for generations... And this was only a drop in the ocean of their massive wealth..!!

Equally Powerful and Evil, the only heir of Kim Dae Yeol's trillion dollar Legacy...

But despite their proximity and long history of taking residence in Elegant Coastal Mansions... He was never dressed in tropical casuals...!!

I walked down the stairs.... And there he stood in the middle of his vicious array of men...!! 6'3, as tall as me.. but a bit sleeker.. dressed in Caramel Brown Suit... His grey eyes even slier than an eagle... Short Black Mullet hair... Crisp white shirt..

I took a step forward.. and his guards loaded their guns while pointing it to me.... My own guards stood mirroring them but I signalled them to put the guns down...

Jimin stood on standby at a little distance...

"TAEHYUNG"
I called out, trying to be as cordial as I could be...

There was no answer.. His expressions remained unchanged as he stared at me...

My eyebrows creased a little bit upon his ignorance..

"KIM TAEHYUNG"

"JEON JUNGKOOK"
He replied without an ounce of expression.. His tone even deep and colder than it used to be...

"The Ruler of Land in my territory..?? I hope you know what that means...."

Hell I knew this was a sign of mayhem... But did I care? Nope!!

"I haven't come here to fight you.."

"Like you could do that!", he scoffed...

Anger curled up my fingers into a fist...!!

"Look at you.. Couldn't imagine seeing you this shabby!!... after constantly winning all the beauty polls in college..!!"

I realised that he was right... my hair was disheveled.. my black shirt and jean was creased and soiled.. dried blood spilt all over my knuckles...

"Did your dad finally disown you due to your drug addiction??"

Da fuck?? He is making it really hard to have a conversation right now... But probably I would've been even more cruel by quoting his 'SEX ADDICTION', if the circumstances were reversed!

"NO"
I tried to remain as calm as I could...

"THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE??? GET THE HELL OUTTA MY TERRITORY BEFORE I KILL YOU!!", he screamed.....

"I'm here for my wife... Carmelo has kidnapped and kept her here"

"Oh really?? Guess what!!..??? I DON'T CARE!!!"

He turned back and was about to leave....

"I will not go back until I take her out of here...", I walked forward....

He stopped and stood there with back facing me... 10 of his guards roared and circled around me, pointing their guns at my face all at once... I did not bat an eyelid.... I would happily die if it is for her..! But not before I blow up this man's brains..!!

"KILL HIM...."
Taehyung ordered and was about to take another step forward

"SHE IS PREGNANT WITH MY CHILD TAEHYUNG... PL-", I reshuffled my words..
"I NEED YOUR HELP..."

He stopped and turned towards me thinking for another minute....

"Do you know where they are?"

I nodded
He thought for a minute...

"2 hours..."

"You have 2 hours to get her out of this place.... I know it wouldn't take you longer than that... But if I see you around even after a millisecond than that, then I will be responsible for wiping off your DNA from this planet..!!"

He walked away with his clan and I called Luke....

We moved forward as planned....

A string of the cars lined up waiting for us....

I was about to get into my car when suddenly....

"BOOOOMMMMMMMM"

There was a big explosion blowing up the empty car in front of me...

Did Carmelo know we were here??

Fuckk!! This won't work in our favour...

I was about to go and check when I received a call..

"Just a little WELCOME gift, Jeon!! We may never cross paths again...! I wanted to make it memorable, so that you don't overstay your welcome!!"

'He can never change' I shook my head in disappointment..!!

"Let's go", I urged James...

It had been well over an hour since Carmelo had last called Jungkook.. He had not been back... I was sitting by myself in this dead silent place for 4 hours now...

I didn't know what this place was... and why was it impossible for him to come over?? And where is Azzurra?? After I regained my consciousness, I was already tied up with Carmelo around... But there was no sign of her...

A million questions were running in my mind...

My head was spinning, my lips were drying up... I needed water...

"Is someone there?", I called out but with no answer..

"What is it?", Carmelo asked walking in...

"I want some water"

"I have something even better than that..."

He said pulling his gun out and aimed it on my belly...

"Your husband's grace time expires in 15 minutes... the next thing after that to expire will be YOU"
"Permanent relief from this hell!!"

An evil grin formed on his lips...

My heart sank...

Where are you Jungkook??
Please.... Please come...
If not for me... then for our baby...

"What happened?? Why are you so quiet??", he moved closer to my face...

And was about to cup my chin when the disgusted feeling of his touch got the worst out of me....

I SPAT ON HIM!!!!

"You crazy bitch!!!"

He was about to slap me in a fit of rage...

When suddenly the lights went out!! There was pitch darkness around...

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!", Carmelo lashed out....

"BANNNGGGGGG!!!!"

There was a gunshot...

I flinched upon the loud sound amidst the eerie silence..!!!

"LOCK THE DAMN DOORS!!!!!", he screamed....

"BBBAANNNGGGG"
"BBAAANNNNGGG"
BBBAANNNGGGG"

Three consecutive gun shots ringed in my ears....

Until a certain voice replaced them... shivering my soul as I fought back goosebumps..!

"MY MOTHER USED TO SAY......"

That deep deathly voice fastened my breathing even more...

"The men of Jeon Empire are insanely possessive of their wives... Wonder what would happen if any man touches them??..!!!"

His voice was calm..! Alarmingly calm!
But there was an evident confidence and sarcasm mixed in it!

"I GUESS WE ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT!!!"
