The Villain's Wife

"What do you..."

"I will kill you," Jennie declared. "Or at least that's what I will tell them," she said. "How about this... we make a bet."

"What bet?" Taehyung asked.

"First, let me tell you that the only reason why you are breathing right now is because I asked my husband to compromise. He wanted you dead... but I wanted to use you instead. The dead won't bring me any benefits," Jennie said before she crossed her legs. "Let's make a bet, Taehyung. If your girl was indeed the person who betrayed you, I will let you go. If I am wrong then I will give you the Facci Group so you'll have all the resources to kill Yifei while I enjoy my honeymoon in the Maldives."

"What do you think?"

"I... What assurance could you give me that you will indeed give me the Facci Group?" he asked.

"Eh? You are that confident that she did not betray you?" Jennie scoffed. This man was indeed in love. Yifei's calculation of using her own niece to control and spy on Taehyung was indeed very good. It was very ruthless and a good plan. However... she still miscalculated something.

"I am tired of managing a business. I can give you Facci Group if you win against me," Jennie said. "If you don't believe me then either... I kill you or I kill her. You choose."

Taehyung stared at Jennie, speechless. He opened his mouth before he closed it again. What is this situation? Why is Jennie giving him crazy choices? For some reason, his mind could not comprehend it. Was Jennie trying to trap him? Was she being bold and trying to make him confused? He stared at her - really stared at Jennie's smiling face.

The woman across from him certainly is both smart and cunning. She's ruthless, and also a bit crazy. Her decisions were based on logic, not emotions. He was sure that, Jennie was also rational... If she wasn't then he have been dead by now. Jennie had the exact opposite of his impulsive and emotional nature. Unlike his emotional self... Jennie had been calm and did not even flinch as she inflicted pain on him. This only served as proof that she is fully in control of the situation.

"I'll take it," he said. His voice contained certainty with a tinge of hope, hope that he was right. What if he wasn't? What would happen to Ziyi? Taehyung noticed his hands shaking yet again as he thought of the possibility that Ziyi was really lying to him. Li Ziyi - the only person who cared about him, lied to him. After this... what else could possibly happen in his life?

Taehyung felt his heart ache as he clenched his fist in an attempt to control himself. "What are we going to do?"

Jennie suddenly rose from her seat and walked towards him. Her face full of smiles as she suddenly gave him a phone.

"Call her," she said as her big smile made here eyes turn into crescents as if she was truly enjoying the show. "Tell her to come and get you as you are dying. Tell her I am out to kill you."

"What?"

"Come on. Call her," Jennie said as she gestured her head for him to accept the phone.

After a few seconds, Taehyung accepted the phone and instantly dialed her number.

"Tell her to come and rescue you at this address." Jennie handed her a piece of paper.

"She is not in this country. She is somewhere far away!" Taehyung said, while gritting his teeth. How could Li Ziyi rescue him? She was not in Korea! Taehyung had sent her to Malaysia!

"Try it."

Taehyung clenched his jaws and continued to dial Li Ziyi's international number. His hope was getting a little bit bigger as time passed. He instantly pressed the loud speak button, confident that he would like what he is going to hear from his lover. After a few rings... a sweet feminine voice answered. However, when Taehyung was about to answer, Jennie suddenly get a hold of the knife in his leg and twisted it, making him yell in pain.
