Phantom Regret

Chapter Twenty: Protector

Lisa

"Who the fuck do you think you are, little love bird?".

"Jennie deserves better than this". I muttered, as his eyes darkened, I taunted, "Jennie deserves me".

"I'm surprised at how much you defend her until this day, when she was literally the one who left you for the content feeling of freedom, Lisa". He licked his lips before raising his brows at me, "What? Are you going to run after a woman who doesn't really love you as much as you want her to?".

"Whatever manipulation you put her parents through, I'm not letting her get in your hands". I spat back at him.

"Too bad we're already getting married soon and then your Jennie will be.. gone. They will take her". Woobin backed away and leaned on a table, a mischievous smile still playing on his face.

At this point, my jaw will break because of how much I've been clenching it. "Why are you doing this?".

The men around him mimicked his smile as he spoke, "You see Lisa, money can either make you superior among humans or would be the absolute curse if you don't have it". Woobin's eyes narrowed, "And I'm a man who likes his money present".

"By selling other lives?". I questioned with disgust. "You could easily do anything else, but you're willing to destroy someone's life just for the sake of this toxic misogyny?!".

"She also knows how to talk back". The guy beside him grinned.

"Fuck all of you!". I muttered. "Fuck each one of you, pigs!".

Before I knew it, another man entered. And his face was familiar.. he was the man I used my knife on, earlier. My eyes widened, and as soon as he saw me, he angrily stomped forward toward me. "You fucking bitch!". His fist connected with my jaw as I whimpered in pain and fell to the ground.

I got back up and was ready to attack him but the man behind me had his gun pointed at me. Woobin stopped him and looked over at him, "Mission failed?".

The guy nodded as Woobin laughed.

"I had to make sure that it was true. Lisa is indeed the protector of Jennie Kim". He then grabbed my face with a stern look, "Listen here, I'm giving you one last chance. Leave this city and never come back again. I'm sparing your life".

"I'm not leaving Jennie with you". I smiled through the pain.

"Then suffer from the consequences, cause Jennie is mine. I can do whatever I want and please, with her". His words angered me so much, so I decided to trick the man behind me as he shot at nothing. I kicked him as he groaned in pain and threw the gun to the ground, it was my turn to grab my own minigun and point it at them.

The scent of Vanilla interluded with my senses as I heard her voice, "Lisa? What are you doing here?".

Woobin's mask came back as soon as he saw her, "Baby, Lisa is crazy. She came in here, trying to shoot me for wanting to marry you".

"That's not fucking true!". I clenched my jaw, "You're trying to sell Jennie to these dirty men who you claim to be your clients". My face softened as soon as I felt her hand on my jaw, I flinched because of my bruised jaw.

"What did they do to you..?". She whispered.

Her eyes and words were so sincere, I looked away, before turning to Woobin, "You decided to get that man to hurt Jennie, but I won't fucking let you!". I growled at him.

"Hurt me? Woobin y-you..". Jennie gulped hard.

I took a step back and grabbed her hand.

"And what are you going to do about it, Lisa? Jennie is already getting married to me". Woobin grinned.

"No one can force her to marry a dick like you". I muttered and watched him laugh, "We already have an agreement, right Jen?".
