Y/n pov

I reluctantly look up after reading aloud the letter. There is a clear mixture of emotions from the boys, some confused, some furious, some worried but the leading emotion on every face is anticipation.

They all want to see the letters, they are starving to know about my connection to this anonymous man, which I myself am still unsure of.

Namjoon is the first to abolish the depressing silence.

"Do you have the letters?" He enquires whilst staring straight into the depths of my soul.

I stare right back at him. I will not allow myself to be weak in this situation after all the shit I've conquered this is nothing.

"Yes." That one word is enough to yank everyone out of their deep thoughts and back to the current situation.

"Bring them here now." Seokjin demands.

"I will but before I show them to you I need you to know that everything on those letters is in the past. I made a decision to carry out the tasks stated on them and I stand by my decision. I will not forbid a single one of you to treat me differently because of it. You can be angry, I am to, but not at me. Be angry at him, I can guarantee you all would have made the same decisions as me in that situation." I explain with a sense of newfound maturity.

"Fair enough but I can't promise anything until we see exactly what these letters entail." Yoongi says.

With that I make my way to my room to collect the letters which I am now wishing I threw away. I grabbed the little white box from the back of my wardrobe and walked back to the office at snail's pace trying to delay the reality of what is about to happen.

I pass the box to Jimin knowing he's the least likely to shout my ear off. He opens the box, his hands grasp the first letter in a tender matter, as though it is some ancient artefact which will crumble at any moment.

The other boys are quick to snatch the remaining letters desperate to know the extent of what this psycho has put their youngest sibling through.

"What file did you give to him Y/n?" Jimin asks as he finishes reading the letter containing the first ever tasks.

"I don't know, I just took the first one from dad's office, it had information about some guy, who I've never seen. At the bottom it said that the man should be killed." Jimin looks at me inquisitively, searching for any extra information I was not telling.

He looked away satisfied, obviously finding no unmentioned info. Hoseok and Taehyung were the next to start their investigations on me.

"So you're the one that stole our money." Hoseok says, looking at me for confirmation, to which I just give a small nod.

Jungkook has a look of shock written all over his face as he finishes reading the letter in Yoongi's hands.

"How the hell did they get into our house without it being picked up? I know she deleted the CCTV footage but shouldn't the guards or alarm system detect an intruder?" Jungkook asked, freaked out at how easily someone broke in.

"They could have someone working on the inside, I'll carry out an investigation on our staff and search for any suspicious behaviour." Yoongi states before making a phone call.

Namjoon is the last to look up at me. "You went to meet him and never even considered leaving a note or something for us. I know you were trying to protect us Y/n but you could have been killed."

"I’m sorry, I really am but I couldn't risk you guys being hurt." I spoke in a soft voice.

"Y/n we run a mafia, we know how to look after ourselves, please let us know if he sends anything else to you." Jin pleads.

"So what do we do now?" I ask the question that has been in the back of my mind from before they were even aware of the letters, the whole time I have tried to convince myself that this whole thing would come to an end after the final task but deep down I knew that wasn't true. I genuinely have no idea what will happen next and that terrifies me. It's why so people many fear the future. The unknown is one of the most daunting things a person has to face.

"Follow me." Namjoon says before exiting the room the rest of the boys behind him. He leads us into his room before double checking no one is watching and locking the door. Jimin twists the handle of his bedside drawer, I watch stunned as a small finger print pad replaces the luxurious-looking silver drawer handle.

He place his finger on the small pad then proceeds to type in a password. The wall behind the bedside table slowly but surely opens up revealing a gloomy looking staircase. As we descend further down the treacherous stairs I notice a small amount of light peeking out at the bottom of the stairs. The stairs lead to a humongous room furnished with opulent navy blue couches, a bespoke black marble coffee table and an obnoxious gold chandelier hanging perfectly in the middle of it all.

"Nobody should be able to hear us down here." Namjoon explains. "First things first is to try and figure out if we have a mole, if we can find a mole then we have a link to the man writing these letters, who I assume is the leader. We'll drain every last drop of information from the mole to help give us a clear idea of what we're up against and what their plan is. From there we will be able to put together a detailed plan."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I ask, desperate to play a role in capturing the man who has been torturing me for no apparent reason.

"For now no but we might need you later on depending on how things play out." Seokjin tells.

"No, I won't allow her to be involved in this." Yoongi states firmly. "We don't know what we're up against, she might get killed for god sake."

"We can give her some training plus I'm pretty sure she has proved that she can handle herself quite well by now." Hoseok says putting a halt to the eldest two's bickering.

"Okay for now we act normal, don't speak a word of this situation or plan to anyone, not even the guards. We will only discuss it here in this room. We can't risk someone telling our plan to them." Jin warns.
