A PENDANT That United The Souls

68. SELF KIDNAPPED

SHARON:- Trust me, you'll regret it if you refuse.

Curiosity sparked in Y/N's mind as she wondered what Sharon had to say. Following Sharon's lead, Y/N allowed herself to be led to a quiet and secluded room.

Y/N:- I don't have much time, so please get to the point.

SHARON:- There is nothing between us the way you think.

Y/N:- What do you mean by that?

SHARON:- When I turned 18, I finally escaped a hellish household and came to this city, hoping for a fresh start. Unfortunately, life didn't unfold as I had planned, and I somehow ended up in this place just to survive. I don't want to delve into the details of how I ended up here. It was such a humiliating experience. I had been a member of this club for three years, got railed by demons, until that one night when Taehyung showed up for the first time. He was young, incredibly attractive as always, and wealthy. That night was the first time I truly enjoyed myself too. To top it off, he gave me a large sum of money and declared, "From now on, I will be your only client." The money he gave me was unbelievable. Initially, I was only with him for the money, and he was with me just for sex, until the day he mistakenly called out your name instead of mine. When I confronted him about it, he didn't give me an answer and disappeared without a trace. That day, I realized I felt jealous and understood that my attraction to him wasn't solely based on money—I had developed genuine feelings for him. It was you. I was so desperate to see you, and then fate brought us together at Han's party where I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are. I must admit, my behavior towards you was selfish and terrible. When I received the shocking news that you had killed Taehyung, I couldn't believe it. However, after a year, I unexpectedly encountered him again, and he asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Y/N:- What?

SHARON:- Everything that happened between us was planned. Being his girlfriend felt amazing, but deep down, I know my love for him is unrequited. I should be the one feeling jealous.

Y/N:- That day when you visited his house...

SHARON:- Girl, I am a stripper. I'm skilled at pretending. Making fake voices is one of our talents. Nothing happened between us that night. I could see your hate for me every day since then. I feel sorry for you because I know how it feels when the person you love doesn't love you back. I don't want you to experience the same. He still loves you, Y/N.

Y/N:- R-Really?

SHARON:- Yes, it's true.

Y/N took Sharon's hands in hers, tears welling up in her eyes.

Y/N:- I'm sorry, Sharon. I truly am.

SHARON:- I'm sorry too. Please take care of my love and never see me again.

Y/N wiped her eyes and was about to go home when suddenly some people arrived and caught hold of her.

Y/N:- Hey, let go of me! Who are you?

Y/N recognized one of the men as Mr. Han's associate.

Y/N:- (Oh, this is one of Mr. Han's men.)

Y/N didn't make any effort to free herself, which ultimately led to her being indirectly kidnapped by them. Sharon witnessed the entire ordeal and wasted no time in informing Jimin.

JIMIN:- Boss, Mr. Han has taken Y/N by force.

KTH:- What? How did she manage to escape the house?

Taehyung couldn't stay silent any longer. He decided it was time to start a major confrontation.

Meanwhile, Y/N found herself bound, her hands and feet tightly tied. A gag had been placed over her mouth. Standing in front of her was Mr. Han.

Mr. HAN:- It seems like everything has fallen into place now, doesn't it, Y/N? You truly are foolish. You've been kidnapped not once, but four times. Twice by that Taehyung and twice by me. Do you find it amusing to be taken against your will?

Gripping Y/N's jaw, Han delivers a harsh slap.

Mr. HAN:- Did you honestly think I would treat you kindly, just like last time? You and he together have brought chaos into my life. He took away everything I worked hard to obtain - my power, my throne, my estate, my diamonds, my reputation... But now, I have something that I will take away from him, and that something is you, Y/N. If I defeat you, he will lose half of his power. But you won't be easily defeated. I want to witness his suffering, which means you'll have to suffer too. If he finds what we did to you, it will crush him to the point where it might be his last day. So, how long will it take for me to bring you down? Boys, the fish is right in front of you, eat her. Enjoy the hunt.
