Rise
Rise was the only word that Park’s Empire was familiar with today. Rise was the only word the rest of the underground word was slapped across their faces with. By the pace the Empire was having it’s work done, by the pace the accomplishments were kissing the Empire’s feet was leaving everyone speechless.The empire was already beyond powerful, The news of what happened two months ago to the two Top Empires spread like fire right after the news of their partnership breaking reached their ears.

Park’s and Kim's Empire started rising more and more even after the partnership was broken. They were said to be competing against each other today. Their leaders were clearly not in a right mind to have gone crazy. Yet about Parks Empire every other day a new accomplishment, a new successful news would reach their ears making them feel so small and powerless that’s what everyone was hating at the moment. Surely business parties were held. Surely Everyone met the new leader who took over the Empire. Surely at first glance they had laughed it off seeing a 20 year old kid standing at such a high position. Surely they had met her being all nice and smiley. But isn't that what you call snakes?

Tomorrow was the night the official party was to be held, The party when the official heir of the Empire was going to be announced. Surely everyone was aware of the fact before time but things meant to be done formally too.That’s what the business was about - Show off in other words and that’s what she was hating at the moment. She will have to waste a whole fucking night over something that everyone knew already. It was so fucking meaningless. She had rather spend this time finding her father’s Killer, or something that was useful in every way possible.

Currently she stood there in front of a body that laid lifeless kissing the tip of her heel. Holding a knife loosely in her one hand dangling down lazily filled with blood, the blood splattered over her filling half of her arm, her clothes, her neck. Practically almost everywhere by the way she decided to kill the man in the craziest way possible.She stabbed him till blood started sputtering out from each organ of his body.

Having chosen to kill The man Who was a leader of another gang who tried to mess with her Empire. The disciples of the Gang were all present at the spot getting to see the merciless death of their leader knowing next was their turn. They shall have known what was coming to them. They have heard what was happening in the past 2 months to those who decided to mess with the Park Empire thinking the Empire fell weak after the death of its leader.

Fools… Fools was the only title for them. The Empire didn’t fall weak instead grew more powerful having someone as the leader who was not a just normal being. She was kinda gone from the brain and they believed it watching her laughing crazily holding the crazy gleam of madness behind her eyes watching the dead body which looked way too disgusted - with so much fun.

Mia:” Humpty Dumpty Set on a wall” She looked up towards them with a sweet Smile plastered across her lips. “ Humpty Dumpty had a great fall” She rolled the knife around her fingers taking steps towards the men present there. The small amount of people the gang consisted of were only 18 and they thought they could stand against the Park Empire. Fuck that was beyond funny in her eyes.

She reached them walking past each of them who had their hearts in their throats hoping they were not the next to be targeted by the knife of the hunter.” All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again”

A laugh escaped her lips watching them trembling in fear. It was the time of fun for her. Where she could let all the storm inside her take over her, throw it out so she is ready to take another harsh storm all over again. Getting reminded of each time she was held by the ropes, have had went through the torture, each time she was molested, each time she ended up a dissappointment, each time she was thrown around as if a piece of trash. She stopped laughing, a drastic change of emotions took over her, all the craziness vanished away in thin air leaving everyone confused there as she looked down at her feet. The sudden rush of emotions took over her, emotions - she was not supposed to be feeling them. It was wrong. No she didn’t shut herself from emotions just to feel them away. She bit her lower lip till the pain made her somehow distracted from the sting on her heart.

Looking up she held the knife back in air stabbing the man-whoever stood in front of her , digging the knife right across his ribs, deep down his heart. The gleam of craziness took place in the back of her eyes again as she started pulling out and stabbing the man repeating the process on loop watching the man dying before he was supposed to. That was no fucking fun the shitty weak men was supposed to hold his life a bit so she could rant out on him a bit but no fucking use.

Another news of having a gang vanished in thin air took over the underground world.The gang was no comparable to the Parks Empire surely but if you move a level little lower than Kim’s and Park’s then that gang was surely known as the one rising against the other ones, in simple words the gang was not someone to take easily either. The not even lookable corpse of the leader hung in front of the Empire Premises once again just like all the other times someone tried to mess with them. The huge “M” shape was made with the death bodies of the disciples of the gang right under the hanging body of the leader. It happened each time, now it was the hottest topic across to gossip, some thought it was such a cool way, to some it was a show off and to some…..some like Taehyung It was nothing but craziness , the craziness that was growing within the one who was behind it all. He knew what monster was growing in front of his eyes yet too far from him.But there was nothing he could do about nor he was any interested in doing so as long as both of them never crossed their ways again. Once he gets his land he was not after their Empire anymore. What happened just happened. Neither He had to do anything with Mia anymore nor she did. They both once again went back to their lives when they didn’t know each other just except the fact before they were not aware of each other but this time they were strangers again but with hatred towards each other.

Jungkook:” Taehyung” He snapped out of his thoughts once being called and looked up at his brother finding the rest of the people left already. He was having a meeting just a second ago which he remembered dismissing before getting lost in his thoughts.

Jungkook:” Leave the land, just terminate the contract.”

Taehyung :” Why? “

Jungkook:” You are doing it to only give her trouble. You are not at rest either. It’s just tangling you in more work, Don’t shift the command room there yet. You need to take care of yourself too. Your panic attacks are increasing more and more.”

Taehyung :” That’s childish, why would I do it to give her trouble? About the attacks they will calm down with time too.”

Jungkook:” Alright fine take the land but don’t start the work now, you need to rest just look at yourself. When was the last time you slept properly?” A sigh escaped Taehyung’s lips seeing the concern in the younger's eyes. He had rather shut him out to him too like he did to everything and everyone but he couldn’t. Jungkook mattered the world to him. Who he was left with other than Jungkook? Nothing. He had no one in his life anymore.

Taehyung :” I will see, stop worrying alright.” he tried giving him a small smile which definitely was a forced one but it was genuine. He was in no mood to smile at the moment but the expression towards his younger brother was definitely genuine.

Jungkook :"Share half with me. Let me handle it."

Taehyung :" C'mon Jungkook don't be stupid. If I handle all the black work then you stay in office and handle all the business. Plus you have the construction site under your work too."

Jungkook :"I can still manage it. It's still not any near to the amount of burden you have on your shoulders."

Taehyung :"I had rather like to see you giving your free time to your fiance who is always waiting for you. Make sure to keep her under protection." He knew the other is matured enough to understand the danger too but what was it that made him suddenly say it out. Did the death of Mr Park left something on him. When the Empire's leader couldn't escape the wrath then what was that lady who knew no defense.

Taehyung :" and she was complaining, you are not taking her to trip abroad. Do it, I will manage the work here. Stop telling her that you are busy dumb head you could come and ask me that."

Jungkook : "she seriously?" He sighed knowing the nature of his fiance "Hey look I will manage her okay. Just one dinner date and she will be all alright. She doesn't know what's going on here."

Taehyung :" Just leave Jungkook, your wedding was supposed to be held in these months but with all these things happening it canceled too . It's valid for her to want to spend time with her fiance. Think about her too and leave for a week or two. "

Another sigh escaped the younger's lips. Surely at times his fiance was a bit stubborn but she was also such a sweetheart when it came to him. He knew a few kisses and cuddles would do the work for him and it always did. But with the older forcing it and he was right too how badly she must have wanted to spend some days with him without any work included. So he agreed in the end but with the condition to call him whenever things get too much for him.

He decided to leave the next day after attending the party tomorrow held by the Park's Empire to have the heir officially announced as the leader of the Empire.

*****

After having the blood washed off her making sure she was not smelling at all and freshly showered, she made her way towards her mother's room. It was night, after ending the gang she returned back to work and finally returning home wanting nothing but her mother's warm embrace.

As she knocked on her door stepping in, a genuine smile took its place on her lips. "Mom I am back." Walking near her she kissed her mother's cheek plopping beside her on couch who was having dinner. Her mother gave her a cheerful smile before making a bite and feeding her daughter who happily let her do so.

Mrs Park :" How was your day? "

Mia :" Mm Just as usual. What about you? what did you do?" she took more bites letting her mother feed her. The affection she always longed for. Within the past few months everything changed but the only thing that stayed the same was her love towards her mother.
 

Mrs Park :" cleaned your room."She hit the back of her daughter's head who let out a nervous laugh knowing what her mother was talking about. Her whole closet which was huge af was a complete mess and it must have definitely taken her a lot of time to clean it.

Mia :" C'mon mom I didn't bring you here to work you didn't have to do it." she pulled her legs up sitting in a criss cross position. It was the only time when she didn't have to care about her image or maintain her form.The time when she could act like a normal girl in her twenties. But if you were to ever give her a normal life at this point she would definitely refuse it. She accepted this mafia life now and no way she was stepping back at any point now.

Mrs Park : "I had nothing else to do anyways. It kept me busy."

Mia :"okay tell me what you want to do. I will bring you everything so you can enjoy your days how's that?" she asked excitedly, happy about the fact she could stay with her mother as much as she wanted now. Now she was the one to rule. Who was to stop her? Who was to order her around? No one everyone was under her and it gave her that fucking sense of pride yet the missing spot of her father left her dejected always. If she was still to be given the chance to go back to the life before she would accept it without a single thought. At least that would bring her father back. The fact itself stated truly. You realize how precious the thing or a person was to you when it's taken away from you and then it's too late to regret over it.

Mia :"Mom" The two laid down in the bed. She might have a separate room but she always sleeps with her mother. "there is a party tomorrow in the mansion. You will have to stay locked in a room or…. Or Shall I send you somewhere safe for the day? You can't come in front of their eyes. They don't know you are alive nor I want anyone to know that. " There was a moment of silence that took over. She could have hold the party somewhere else too surely but it was obvious. It was about the heir taking the official place it had to take place with in the Empire premises. Or else that will be a sign towards everyone that there is something important about the mansion that the Park's are trying to hide that's why they didn't hold the party there.

Mia :"I am sorry mom. I don't want to do this. But I can't help it. I don't want you to be a part of anything. Just this once time and you won't have to go through anything again." Her voice came out small clearly feeling bad not wanting to do this.

Mrs Park :" don't feel bad. I am glad you talked to me about it. Whatever looks good to you, you can do it. " she smiled gently caressing her daughter's hand making sure to assure her she didn't mind anything and it was definitely fine.

Mrs Park :"Now sleep" her hand extended a bit till it reached her daughter's hair brushing her fingers through them gently till she heard the soft snores escaping the younger's lips.
