After schooling Eisuke about how this should work, he sat back in his chair and sighed loudly, clearly wanting me to hear it.

"That's a lot of work." He pauses. "I hope you realize this is like starting a whole new business."

"For fucks sake, Eisuke Ichinomiya." I shrugged and squinted my eyes at him. "You're fucking rich."

He got up from his seat and tunes to look out one of the living room windows. "It's not that easy. It may take some time for me to fully grasp the system and actually get some of your music out there. I guess I'll have to work on learning how to manage that." He pauses. "But why don't you try writing some music to now? You can show whatever music producer we end up working with."

"Oh, sure thing. Though I'll have you know that I'm also, not too well versed at that. While YG let me work on music once in a blue moon, I had to bust my ass learning to perfect dance routines and songs." I add.

"Well that's disappointing."

"Well... we're all a little disappointing one way or another....aren't we now?" I glanced at him suggestively with a smirk.

"...what exactly are you referring to?"

I shrug innocently, darting my eyes from his lower half to the wall. "Nothing' in particular..."

Eisuke rolls his eyes in irritation. "You are one crude woman, you know that?"

My lips make a small pout as I mock him next. "I guess I'll have to work on learning how to manage that."

He turns back to look at me and sighs again, "Is there anything you need from me?"

I nod, thinking of something that hadn't really thought of before..."...so now that Carolina is out of the picture, we don't have to really hang out all that much anymore right?"

I asked my question firmly, and seriously. Eisuke still wasn't my favorite person, but he wasn't too bad now that he's toned it down a little, out of fucking nowhere.

If he wasn't gonna need me as a trophy wife then I was going to take advantage of my free time to do other things. Like, training with Alkaev, or practice songwriting, and finding new people to work with solo.

"....no, I don't think I'll require your company anymore." He answers in a somewhat icy tone. As he pushes back his hair.

Why the fuck is he being so fidgety?

"Um...okay just makin' sure."

I get up from one of his two black leather arm chairs and push it back into place. "Well... I guess I'll be taking my leave then. Thanks for hearing me out." I thank him genuinely.

"If you're as famous as you claim to be, then maybe this investment will be worth it." His parting words reach me before the door closes behind me. "Impress me."

"Oh, you bet your rich ass I will." I snort to myself, now outside of the room.

And so I got to work.

Making all the right calls and setting up everything for me to make my epic, solo comeback. If Eisuke wants good business; that's what he's gonna be getting from me.

I bring my laptop to the couch in the penthouse living room, brainstorming concepts for my comeback.

I open a blank document, and stare at it as my brain tried to generate ideas.

Well, bad bitch is one way to put it.

I typed out "Bad bitch" and began to explain the concept.

Rich, successful, and glamourous in the most bad bitch way.

"That's perfect for you." A woman's coy voice breathed in my ear, sending a chill down my spine. I turn around and find the Karina version of Alkaev. I'd be damned if she came out with anymore personalities. I can barely deal with more than one.

"Holy- bitch you scared me."

"Sorry babe. Couldn't help it. You were too focused." She flips her short hair back and takes a seat beside me, peering into my computer screen. "What about, 'girl who was caught up in a group of shady guys, whom include, a rich ceo who holds black market auctions under his hotel, a mobster who threatens people with a gun, a world renowned thief, a twisted artist and a lazy detective who just watches over it all'?"

"I like that." I laugh. "It's very 'me' isn't it?"

"Or! How about 'korean idol that is being trained to fight by a mob princess'?"

"What?" I turn my head toward her, feeling confused.

"Let's go baby girl! Before Alkaev changes her mind!"

"Go where?"

----------------------

"....You drove us out 2 hours.. in the middle of nowhere? Please don't tell me you're planning on murdering me and hiding my body out here." I ask, jumping out of Alkaev's black, lifted jeep.

Maybe I was too trusting. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do if I get kidnapped again.

The buff, tall russian diver opens the back door for her before she comes around to answer my question. "...look around you, Chaerin Lee."

I roll my eyes, 'She's back to Alkaev..'

I obey her and take a look at the view of the vibrant nature that surrounded us, the tall trees looked down on us, shading us from the harsh rays of the sun. In front of us, long, and obscenely tall stairs lead up to what looked like a cabin.

"We're going to be up here for three months."

"What?" I yelp in surprise. What the hell was this crazy bitch thinking? I have stuff to do back at the hotel! Not to mention the music I have to be creating to finally get back in the industry!

"Wait- hold on mafia princess, what the fuck are you going on about? I can't be stuck here for three months-"

"You're Eisuke's fiance anymore, there's no need for you to be back at the hotel. Besides...your...'music' can be worked on from here."

"But...how am I going to learn my dances? A-and meet with the producers? There's more to this than you think-"

"We've established a strong internet connect out here for you to make use of. You can keep in contact with your work partners through it."

"W-well...I didn't bring any clothes with me! I have absolutely nothing-"

"That's been taken care of. My men have all the necessary items for you up in your room in that cabin."

"..."

Alkaev sighs, and glares at me with a murderous intent. "Listen, you're the one who asked for this. Do you want it or not?"

"I do- but this is extremely sudden. Why now? Why three months?"

She tucked a loose curl behind her ear, which now displayed a beautiful black pearl. She cleared her throat before speaking words that would change the course of my fate yet again.

"We're going to use your fame, and it's going to help us end the Bucci mob."
