_________________________________________

The SUV car came to a stop in front of the mansion as the man beside you grabbed your arm and dragged you out of the car.

Your stupid self was still trying to fight the man in order to run away but this time both of your arms were in a hold by the two men.

"No! Please, I am literally begging you. I don't want to go in there."

You pleaded the merciless people but they didn't heard a single word of yours and forcefully dragged you inside the mansion after Jimin entered the password.

"Mom."
Jimin muttered while looking at the woman sitting silently on the couch with Yuna standing behind her with her head down.

You didn't dared to look up.
You were afraid from the dangerous silence coming from the Mother.

"Why?"

"Why did you tried to escape dear?"

Mother questioned you with a calm voice but you could tell it wasn't sweet or calm, it was dark. Really dark.

"You told me you have accepted this family tradition, then why did you do this?" She again asked but you were not able to mumble a single word out of your mouth.

You clenched your hands when she stood up from the couch and slowly walked toward you just like a predator.

You tried to step back but the two man were holding you tightly in your place.

"Oh dear."
Mother gently held your chin and lifted your face as you finally looked into her grey eyes which were literally blank. She had no emotion in her eyes that was scaring you.

"Tell me, why did you broke my trust?"

Tears formed in your eyes when she carrased your red cheek as gently as possible.

"I-I am sorry Mother. I was just-"

SLAP!

Your whole face was turned to right after she smacked you hard with all her force causing you to fell down on the floor when those men left your arm.

Your jaw has become numb in pain.

You breathed heavily with tears flowing down your bruised cheek non-stop. Your head has started aching severely because of that slap.

Mother crouched down in front of you showing her eyes, now fuming in rage filled with nothing but only fire.
Fire of infuriation.

"Call me 'Mother' when you would actually start accepting this tradition."

"You don't know how much I was controlling myself to not punish you for acting and faking everything all this time."

You eyes widened when she smirked at you and slipped her fingers into you hair, yanking your head back and leaned near your face.

"You thought you are the only intelligent one in this house?"
You froze in bafflement after she started speaking again.

"I already knew you were faking everything all this time. There was no way you would easily agree and accept this tradition when you have seen your little friends getting killed by Jungkook and Jimin in front of these eyes.

Even Yuna took two whole week to accept her fate, to accept what she is and her purpose. And here you, who firstly laughed after hearing about the tradition and tried to manipulate Yuna suddenly believed Taehyung within few hours. Impossible."

"I was already suspecting your unexpected behavior since today morning when you called me Mother and asked a question in curiosity. I knew you wanted to get out some information from us.

But, my suspicions were confirmed by Yuna when she confessed that she has accidentally told you about your marriage with Jungkook and how you reacted to it. Now tell me, wouldn't you have become happy if you had accepted our family?"

"Your smart brain even fell for our trap to catch you red hand."
Mother chuckled while shaking her head and left your hair.

"I knew you would try to escape from here so that's why I brought Yuna to the living area and talked loudly about the three of them not coming back home which will give you a hope to escape tonight. I did saw your little legs when you were listening to our conversation.
Also, I already had told the three about your smart-ass plan of pretending to gain our trust."

She then pointed at your neck and harshly snatched the locket away, making you hiss when your skin burned in pain.

"You didn't even realized that the locket I gave you has a tracker in it to find you quickly when you escape from here and then everything went as planned."
She smirked.

"You saw me locking the door and I purposely left my pouch which had the keys to the locks while making excuse of taking the medication that I don't have any. I waited for you till you unlocked all the three locks with the keys and if you didn't knew all were same....All keys would have unlocked the locks."

"Then you ran out in the forest and I informed them about your escape. We knew you have nowhere to go except the main road and that's where you got caught and now you are back here."
Mother chuckled after finishing her explanation.

You just sat there speechless as your heart sunk deep pit after hearing her. How did you not think about this?

You were so stupid to think that you are the smart one but in reality, these people were more smarter than you.

You thought everything is in your advantage, not even getting a slight hint about their trap.
You were making a fool of yourself all this time pretending to be in their good looks in front of them.

You have badly messed up this time.

"Y/n, I told you before too. You can't leave this place until I tell you to. You are bounded to this family now. Why can't you understand this small thing?"

"Why can't you understand? I don't want to be a part of this."
You muttered lowly and looked straight into her eyes.

This was making you angry.
Angry at yourself that how dumb you are to fall into their trap and at these people who just don't want to let you go.

"You have to because you are the chosen one."
Mother tilted her head with her furrowed eyebrows gazing at you when you glared at her.

"I. Am. Not. The. Chosen. One."

You gritted your teeth and started breathing heavily. You were getting fed up of this shit. Your brain has already stopped working since you got to know about her trap and now you have no idea what trouble you were getting yourself into by behaving like this.

"Eyes down."
Mother warned.
But you didn't listened to her and kept glaring into her furious eyes.

"Y/n, this is the rule of the house to look down when I talk to someone."
You scoffed in disbelief that she is still telling you her so-called rules.

"Fuck you and your rules, you crazy woman!"

You loudly yelled on her face taking her aback at your sudden outburst. Not only her, everyone was shocked at your new behavior that they didn't expected.

Jimin was about to pound on you after disrespecting his mom but stopped when mother started laughing at your angry state while motioning the men to pick you up from the floor.

"I'll let this aside because you are still new to our family but I will make sure to make you well-behaved after your marriage with Jungkook."
She nodded to herself.

Enough.
You had enough of her bullshits.
Your mind has already lost its control.
And you did what you shouldn't have done.

"I AM NOT A FUCKING PART OF YOUR PSYCHOPATHIC FAMILY, YOU BITCH! I WILL DIE HAPPILY BUT NOT MARRY THAT FUCKER! YOU ALL ARE CRAZY AND FUCKED UP AS HELL!"

Everyone looked at you with wide eyes except the Mother who was raising an eyebrow at your figure shaking in rage. She scoffed a little and pursed her lips before muttering lowly.

"I gave you a chance before but not anymore."

Her face fell dark.
The calm and composed facade fell from her face revealing the darkness she has hidden deep inside her.

"You have to be punished for breaking so many rules, dear."
She smiled at you devilishly that brought shivers down your spine. It was the first time you have seen this side of her.
It was pure evil.

"You are a rule-breaker."

"You caused troubles in this family. You attacked Jimin back then and ruined the sacrifice ritual. You lied on our faces. You tried to manipulate Yuna. You escaped from here without my permission. You cursed at your family, at your soon-to-be husband. You cursed at me. You raised your voice at me. You looked straight in my eyes when I told you not to. You disrespected the family's tradition that has been followed for generations. You went against all my words and rules of this house."

"You deserve sever punishment for all this."

"Then kill me already."
You responded solemnly.

You were done with this.
You would be happy to die rather be in their captive. Atleast you would be able to meet Yoongi and Lia up there.

"Uh-uh. We can't kill you dear because you are the chosen one for our family."
She shook her head in denial.

"But, I have more worse thing than a simple death."
You looked at her confused when she smirked at you and looked back at Yuna who widned her eyes after understanding Mother's words.

"Yuna dear."
She sweetly asked the girl who was looking at you with fear and worries in her eyes. But, she flinched at the sharp gaze Mother send towards her and quickly ran out of the living room.

"Y/n, I'll ask you again. You are ready to get bounded to Jungkook, right?"
You relased a shaky breath feeling agitated at the way she was looking at you.

"No. I told you I won't."
You retorted.

"Well, I gave you other chance to go easy on your punishment but....it's your choice now."

Mother relased a dark laughter and looked back with a smirk when Yuna entered with something in her hand and placed it on the table beside Mother.

Your eyes that were previously filled with anger, now widened in pure fear and horror.
Your heart sank deep.
Deeper to the abyss of your soul.

Mother picked up a small rectangular iron peice burning red hot with the help of tongs and turned around towards you with a grin.

"Since, you are not bounded to Jungkook yet. It would be me to give you your first punishment."

Your whole body started trembling in fear seeing that burning iron peice. You started breathing heavily and vigorously tried to yank your arms from the men when they started dragging you towards the couch.

"NO! UGH!"
You screamed at them who were gripping your arms tightly and forcefully made you sit on the couch.

"FUCKING LET ME GO! THIS IS CRAZY!"

You yelled with tears streaming down your terrified eyes. You forcefully pushed yourself up to stand but they pinned you back on the couch and one man slammed your face to the side of the couch by his hand that was pushing your face to the right, showing your bare neck to Mother who stood in front of you and smirked.

"You know what is the most sensitive part of your body, Y/n?"

She spoke and leaned near your neck with the iron peice as you frantically struggled to shook your head telling her to stop all this.

"The neck."

With that she pressed the hot burning iron peice on your neck as a blood curling scream escaped from your parted lips that echoed in the whole mansion bringing shivers in Yuna's spine who quickly covered her ears with tears building up in her eyes.

Taehyung looked away from your suffering figure followed by Jimin who clenched his fist.

You kept screaming loudly at the immense buring pain on your neck with tears flowing like river as Mother pressed the iron bar further into your skin, producing those painful sizzling sounds.

After few more seconds of hell, she removed the hot iron piece from your neck and eyed the skin with a satisfied smile. There was a huge red burning mark on your neck with skin protruding out in blood. You had a second degree burn.

The two men finally left your arms as your whole body kept trembling in a state of shock and pain. Your screams were now replaced by small whimpers and loud huffing.

"I hope you will remember this punishment, dear." She placed the iron piece back into the pot and looked at you sweetly.

You were not able to hear a single word that Mother said because of the beeping sound in your ears. Your eyesight started blurring and you felt your eyelids getting heavy. You were losing your conciousness because of the unbearable pain. Atlast, you closed your eyes and passed out on the couch.

There was a pin drop silence in the living area as everyone gazed at your lifeless looking figure on the couch but didn't dared to do anything until Mother started speaking.

"Girls like her would only behave if we become strict to them and punish them for their every mistake."
Mother announced and glanced at Yuna who flinched on her place and lowered her head.

"Yuna, you also have broken the rules by telling her about the marriage with Jungkook. But, since because of you we have prevented her from escaping, I'll let you go this time."

Mother waves her hand as Yuna released a shaky breath of relief and quickly picked up the pot before walking out of the area.

"Jungkook. Take her back to the room."

Mother ordered the male who exhaled loudly and nodded his head.

"Jimin and Taehyung, come with me." She then proceeded to walk to other wing of the living area through the corridor followed by the two males.

Jungkook then motioned the two men to leave the mansion before he finally eyed your unconscious body and walked towards the couch.

He snaked his right arm around your shoulder and slipped his left arm under your knees before carefully lifting you up as he pressed your body to his chest making his way back to your room.

After entering inside, he walked towards the bed and carefully laid you down.

A deep sigh released from his lips when he gazed at the red burning mark on your neck. It was looking awfully painful.
He then proceeded to remove the handcuffs from your hands and kept it inside his pocket.

Battling with various thoughts in his mind, Jungkook hesitantly sat beside you and eventually looked at your miserable condition you were in.

Bruised cheeks, a busted lip, face stained with dry salty tears, hair messed up, an ugly burned mark and a cut around your neck, reddened wrists, a number of scratches on your forearms and your bleeding foot.

In two words according to him, you were in a fucked up state.

"Why do you have to cause so much trouble?"
He mumbled very lowly and stood up.

Giving a last glance at you, he made his way out of the room closing the door behind him.
