Mine ( Vox X Reader )

Chapter 7

Once everyone had left the room, Y/n collapsed onto the couch, trying to steady her ragged breaths. She had pushed herself too hard, expending far too much power in such a short time. Her heart pounded violently against her chest, and her head spun with dizzying intensity. She clutched the armrest as if it were the only thing keeping her grounded.

"Fuck..." she gasped, every word heavy with fatigue and frustration.

Vox was waiting outside the room with Velvette when they saw all the model going out. Vox was impressed by y/n collection. It was magnificent to his eyes and he was truly amazed by her creative mind. 

"It's.."

"It's not what it was supposed to be", Velvette cut Vox off when he was about to talk. Her words made him turned to his side to see her face. She was looking at the models in confusion and a bit of frustration.

"Why she didn't told me ?", she clenched her hands and walked toward the door, but Vox took her wrist stopping her. "Velvette calm down she surely have a explanation to this", she moved his hand away and turned back around toward the door.

"No we made this together that she have a explanation or-", Vox took back her wrist stopping her in her track flipping her around to face him. "VEL'', his eyes went on ''Calm down. Let me talk to her".

She clicked her tongue and let out a sigh, pressing a hand to her face. "Fine... just be quick."

Vox released her hand and strode toward the door, only to find Lila standing there, blocking his way.

''I need to talk to Y/n,''he said.

Lila glanced up from her tablet, meeting his gaze evenly. ''I'm sorry, sir, but you can't. Y/n doesn't want to see anyone right now.'' 

''What? Move. I have to see her''

Lila didn't budge, standing her ground. Vox's pressure escalated, his gaze hardening as he took a step closer. Lila simply met his eyes without flinching.

Lila was terrified of confrontation—of people, of danger, of anything that felt even slightly overwhelming. But when it came to Y/n, everything changed. Her fear didn't disappear, but she pushed through it with a stubborn determination that surprised even herself. She admired Y/n deeply, and protecting her was something she took seriously.

''I'm sorry, sir,'' she said, voice trembling but steady enough. ''But I can't let you pass.''

"get out of the way.", Vox said with a strict menacing look, his right eyes trying to manipulate her, but Lila didn't budge closing her eyes. He groaned in annoyance and tried to push her out of the way. "Sir I said she doesn't want to see anyone".

He knew that if he hurt Lila now, Y/n would never forgive him. Vox tugged at his bowtie and snapped it free from his neck. Ruffling his TV head, a burst of static crackled through it.

''Fine... why?'' His voice softened, taking on an unexpected note of concern as he drew in a deep breath. What could be so important that she was keeping him out?

Lila bit her lips softly thinking if she should tell him, she didn't want to accuse anyone here, but they still didn't know who did this. Do Vox would have done this ? No.. after all he likes y/n. She saw them almost kissing.

"Sorry Sir, but it's better if she tell you later. I promise it's nothing you need to worry about for now", She hugged the papers closer to her chest, anxiety crossing her face.. Vox looked at her angry before walking his way back to Velvette.

"She doesn't want to see anyone", He said annoyed while taking his phone and composed y/n number. 

"Why ? This bitch is too afraid to talk to us", Velvette rolled her eyes.
