It felt as though her worst nightmare was coming alive, the familiar dread of losing the person she cherished engulfing her, suffocating her spirit. The memories that clung to her like relentless needles, piercing her heart, forced her to bear the pain. She had encountered pain in her life before, but none could compare to the excruciating agony of losing Jungkook.

Everything seemed blurred as if she were moving in slow motion while the world around her raced forward. Her body began to tremble violently as tears dropped unchecked. Unbearable pain jarring her skin made her nearly lose her balance however before she could plummet to the ground, somebody held her.

"Pull yourself together," she heard Damian's voice, and she raised her head to see him supporting her to stand upright.

"It's going to be alright, Jungkook will be okay," he reassured her, guiding her towards the seating area, all while Jungkook was undergoing surgery in the adjacent room in the mansion.

"Taehyung did this," she kept repeating, her words a broken record, as Damian eyed her with pity.

"He's been confined to his chamber," he insisted but she shook her head vigorously. Nobody understood Taehyung like she did. Nobody had witnessed the depths he could sink to, how cunningly manipulative he was, and how he always seemed to be one step ahead of them. He must have planned this for months, prepared for it meticulously. She couldn't fathom how, but he had reached Yeonjun, and she was certain he had a hand in the incident.

"You need to ask Yeonjun, I am sure Taehyung made him do it," she held Damain's hand and requested him to investigate, "Taehyung must have blackmailed him, he must have threatened him" She was going through all the possibilities while Damian remained silent.

The moment the shot rang out, the standby guard swiftly gunned down Yeonjun. The only person who could have provided them with answers had been killed on the spot. Despite his desire to console the distraught girl, Damian couldn't bring himself to entertain the notion that his second son was behind everything. In his own conclusion, he believed the boy: Yeonjun had been consumed by jealousy, driven by his love for Diva, and had tragically shot his son. He couldn't fathom how Taehyung could have orchestrated such a scheme when he was clearly not in his right state of mind, having been passed out drunk in his room for two days

"Diva, Yeonjun was gunned down the moment he fired the shot," Damian said, his voice heavy with the harsh truth. Diva's body went limp, and her grasp automatically loosened as her hands fell to her side. She turned away from Damian, her eyes staring blankly into nothingness, shattered by the devastating news.

"Taehyung did it, he did it," Diva continued to chant like a mad woman, her head shaking as if refusing to accept the grim reality.

The click-clack of heels reverberated through the room, drawing Damian's attention. He rose to his feet and found his ex-wife standing before him. But before he could utter a word, a sharp, stinging slap struck his cheek, causing Diva to fall silent in shock.

Jeon Jieun glared at him, her eyes red and teary, her fist tightly clenched as she quivered with rage upon learning about her son's condition

Jeon Jieun glared at him, her eyes red and teary, her fist tightly clenched as she quivered with rage upon learning about her son's condition.

"You were supposed to protect him," she seethed with anger, her words hissed through gritted teeth.

Her rage drove her to deliver another blow, but this time, Damian didn't even flinch. Her composure shattered, and she nearly crumpled to the ground, but Damian swiftly caught her, offering support. After their divorce, all Jieun had yearned for was a peaceful life with her son. However, in the custody battle, her chances of winning had been slim given her husband's power and stature. Her career as an actress, which frequently took her away for shoots, made it worse because of the fact it would be difficult for her to give her child the attention he would be in need of.

She had grown to despise Damian to the point where she never wanted to set foot in his country again. Park Jiah played a crucial part in wedging the difference between them. In the end, she was forced to settle for seeing her son only once a year abroad, consoling herself with the hope that as he grew older, he would become more understanding and eventually choose to be with her instead of his father.

But as the years passed, to her dismay, Jungkook became more deeply involved in the family business, something she detested to the core. And for that, she hated the girl who had become his sole reason for not wanting to leave Vennessia. Her hope was rekindled when Jungkook called to inform her about his marriage and the possibility of leaving everything behind to come to Euphoria with her. However, now all her hopes had come crashing down, with her son fighting for his life on the operating table.

"I will kill you with my own hands if something happens to my son," she vowed with intensity, her words dripping with venom, as Damian absorbed her bitter threats. "I will destroy you," she would repeat, and her ex-husband simply nodded in an attempt to console her.

Hours dragged on, and the two women sat in silence, patiently waiting for any news from the doctor. Their tears had dried up, leaving only a numbing hollowness as they stared at the relentless ticking of the clock.

"I was angry with him for so long," Jieun began, catching Diva's attention. Diva turned to face her, recognizing the resemblance she bore to Jungkook.

"Every time I tried to convince him to come home, to leave everything behind, he would say, 'My home is where she is,'" she revealed, letting out a bitter scoff.

"I hated you for that. I hated that you took my son away. I hated that he loved you so much that he had no love left to spare for his own mother." With tears dripping down her chin she confessed as Diva hung her head low in shame and guilt.

"But I know that he won't leave us because of you. I know he will fight for his life for you, he will return back to his home, he has to," she whispered, her voice quivering with a mix of hope, desperation, and a mother's unwavering love.

"He will be alright" She held Diva's hand giving her the strength she needed at the moment.

Diva took a deep, steadying breath and lifted her head high. She refused to crumble easily; she was determined to uncover the truth and prove that Taehyung was the mastermind behind this scheme. She was resolute in her determination to reveal to Damian the true colors of his son.
