Home Chapter 14

Just as JK and I make eye contact, Holden begins to scream, and one of the police moves towards the locked door. I yelled, "JK, save my son!"He nods, and the police and bodyguards rush to move in.

Just then, Won Sang grabs me by the neck and puts the gun to my head. Everyone freezes. JK looks toward her, panic in his eyes, and he motions for no one to move. "please," I beg. "Just let Holden go. I'll stay with you," I tell Won Sang.

"Shut up!" she screams. She slowly undoes the chains from the wall; I cringe in her arms as she backs toward the back door. "Nobody moves," she says and pulls me out.

 I hear the police moving in to apprehend Holden. I hear him crying. JK watches me in horror as Won Sang pulls me away. I see them move through the two doors to the outside, and the policeman puts Holden into a cop car.

JK's, his eyes wild with fear. Police sirens echo through the forest, but they feel so far away.

I'm trapped in a nightmare. We're deep in the woods, running from a tiny, broken-down shack. Won Sang drags me through the bushes, her gun cold against my head.

 Her breath is hot on my ear as she hisses, "Shut up, or I'll kill you." I nod, too terrified to speak.

My mind races, searching for a way out. But the chains on my wrists and ankles rattle with each step, reminding me I'm still her prisoner. The forest grows darker, and panic rises in my throat. If I don't escape now, I might never see JK or Holden again.

Desperate, I try to distract Won Sang. "Why are you doing this?" I whisper, my voice shaking.

Won Sang's grip tightens, her eyes flashing with a mix of anger and something else - obsession? "Why?" she snarls. "Because he's mine. JK was always meant to be mine."

Her words send chills down my spine. I can hear the madness in her voice and see the dangerous glint in her eyes. This isn't just about fame or money - this is about a twisted love that's turned into something dark and terrifying.

As we stumble deeper into the forest, I know I'm running out of time. The chains feel heavier with each step, and Won Sang's gun never wavers from my head. In the distance, I hear JK calling my name, his voice filled with desperation.

My heart aches to call back to him, but Won Sang's threat keeps me silent. I have to find a way out of this, not just for me but for JK and Holden. As the darkness surrounds us, I realize this might be my last chance to escape Won Sang's deadly obsession.

"I'm sorry," I say, trying to calm her." I didn't know he was yours."

She scoffs, "You don't care about me!" She laughs, "Stop trying to fix me. I know your game. You're just trying to escape. Well, I'm not dumb," she lets out an evil laugh.

The police sirens faded as we plunged deeper into the forest. My heart raced. I had to escape to reach someone who could help. Desperately, I pretended to trip.

"Ouch!" I cried out, my body going limp.

Won Sang's grip loosened for a split second. It was my chance. I twisted, trying to break free. But the chains betrayed me, sending me tumbling down the hill. Pain exploded through my body as I rolled over rocks and branches. Suddenly, a sickening crack. I screamed, unable to hold it back.

Won Sang's voice cut through the air, filled with rage and obsession. "No! Get back here, you bitch!"

I saw her shadowy figure chasing me down the hill. Terror gave me strength. Ignoring the agony in my leg and ribs, I crawled towards a small, dark space. Huddled in my hiding spot, I covered my mouth with a shaking hand. Tears streamed down my face, mixing with dirt and blood. Won Sang's footsteps grew closer.
