Caught between two worlds (A/B/O dynamics)

Chapter 10

'Click', 'click', 'click'

The sound of heels clicked against the floor; the pantsuit traced her steps as several men bowled their heads as soon as she stepped inside. She hated when they did that, with a wave of her finger she dismissed them as Once came beside her a beta, an iPad in hand as he walked alongside her naming all the lists she needed to get done. But only one question remained in her thoughts.

"Did they receive word of it" He nodded and explained the situation and cherry-tinted lips perked up as a grin made its way onto her face.

"Excellent, please get the car ready" he nodded as he watched her in admiration.

The opulent living room is adorned with expensive furnishings, displaying wealth and power. Minato paces back and forth near the window, deep in thought. Kushina watches nervously on the edge of the plush sofa, her eyes fixed on Minato.

"Kushina, this is a disaster. We just received word that all of our men, our trusted bodyguards, are all in jail. If it wasn't for Kakashi bonding them out we would have no men And right now, our guests are waiting for a meeting down at the warehouse."

The red-haired beauty used her fingers to twist her red blood hair into knots as she panicked "What? How is that even possible? We always make sure to hire the best!" Minato stops pacing and turns to face Kushina, his expression a mix of frustration and disbelief.

"If you weren't so insistent on moving our daughters' things back to our home then we wouldn't be here. Kushina we can't show up empty-handed. We need to find a way to salvage this situation. That meeting is of utmost importance."

Just as the weight of their predicament sinks in, Minato and Kushina exchange a glance, the realization slowly dawning on them.

Minato stepped back rubbing his temples as he growled out "No... it can't be. I just wanted her to be with us, to come home but Our daughter?" Kushina gasps, her hand flying to her mouth. Tears well up in her eyes as the pieces of the puzzle start coming together.

"Naruto? But why would she...?" Minato's face hardens, determination replacing the shock.

"Kushina, we both know the reason for that, she wants a spacer and if you keep invading on that all you're going to do is push her away.  She must have done this to prove herself, to assert her dominance within our organization. We underestimated her, Kushina. We will deal with her appropriately, but right now, we have a meeting to attend."

Kushina nods in agreement, wiping away her tears. The love and concern for their daughter weigh heavy on their hearts, but the pressing Matter at hand compels them to put familial aside.

Minato grabs his coat from a nearby chair, and Kushina quickly follows suit.

"Let's go, Minato. She put this on herself if Naruto wants to ruin everything we've built. She is going to have to face the conquerors" Minato and Kushina walk towards the door, their faces a reflection of their determination and anger, yet burdened by the realization that their family is now entwined with an even darker path.

The luxurious penthouse falls silent, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and a resolve to face the consequences that lie ahead.

Blue eyes stared at the building before her as she brushed back her bangs and smoothed down her clothes. Naruto wore a long-sleeved white button-up shirt and a black pencil skirt that was a few inches above her knees. She was wearing black gloves, a habit she had gotten into doing ever since she arrived here.

Her heels clicked against the ground as she walked into the large entrance. Naruto could feel the eyes on her and chose to ignore it as she walked to the front desk.
