Four months

It had already been four months since our marriage, and, surprisingly, everything had been going smoothly so far. No major conflicts, no unexpected hurdles... at least not yet

And today, I was particularly happy. It was an important day for me as finally, I was about to receive a 6% share in Lee Corporation

Well It wasn't much, just a small percentage, but it was my first step into the company. My so-called gift for marrying their daughter. A strategic move, nothing more

"Young Mr. Jeon, everything is ready. We should leave for Lee Corporation now" my assistant informed after checking the documents I needed to sign

I nodded, getting up from my chair "Has Y/N arrived?"

"Not yet. I was informed that Young Mrs. Jeon and Mr. and Mrs. Jeon are on their way" he replied

"Hmm" I simply nodded. Taking my coat, I headed out

—LEE CORPORATION—

The moment I stepped into the company, I turned to my assistant

"How's their stock doing?" I asked

"After the collaboration, their stock value has risen 38%" he informed making me raise a brow, slightly impressed "In just four months? Impressive... So now they aren't going bankrupt anymore" I let out a small chuckle

He nodded before heading to the reception desk to get information

"Young Mr. Jeon, the receptionist said everyone is already here. We need to go to the top floor" he informed me after gathering the details

I nodded and followed him to the elevator

—AUTHOR POV

Soon, Jungkook and his assistant arrived at the top floor conference room, where everyone was already waiting

"Hello, everyone" Jungkook greeted as he entered, taking his seat beside Y/N. His assistant sat beside him, while his parents were seated next to Y/N. Opposite them sat Eun-Jun, Hee-Won, and Eun-Jun's assistant, with the Chairman's seat, belonging to Y/N's father, remaining empty

"Alright, we all know why we're here, so let's proceed without wasting time" Eun-Jun said, getting straight to business

Meanwhile Y/N sighed, muttering to herself "If everything is already decided, why do they even need me here?" But the room was so silent that everyone heard it

"Just cooperate" Eun-Jun snapped, making her roll her eyes

"As Eun-Ha noona and Beom-Seok hyung are abroad, they've already signed the papers. Now, only Y/N's signature is required" Eun-Jun said, sliding the documents toward he

Without even glancing at them, Y/N signed with no hesitation, she already knew there was nothing in it that could benefit her

While Jungkook followed suit, signing the agreement, successfully finalizing the deal

After some brief business discussions, the meeting concluded, and everyone left the room to go their separate ways. Jungkook, however, stayed behind and followed Eun-Jun into his office


As Jungkook and Eun-Jun sat on the couch, Jungkook crossed his arms, looking at Eun-Jun

"Why only 6%? Isn't that a little too small?" Jungkook questioned

Eun-Jun leaned back in his couch, trying to relax "That's the standard for anyone who marries a shareholder of this company" he replied

"So it's like a gift?" Jungkook raised a brow

"You can call it that. My wife and Beom-Seok also received the same percentage. And according to the contract, if we divorce, they lose their shares. But in your case, it's different. Even if you get divorced, no one can take the shares from you"

Jungkook smirked slightly "Hmm... That's interesting. But what about my other shares? You promised me a larger amount after I married your sister"

Eun-Jun scoffed "Did I ever say that I would be the one giving you those shares?" He pointed at himself

Jungkook narrowed his eyes "What are you saying?"

Eun-Jun sighed "Listen, our mother's 50% shares have already been divided among the six of us. The other 50% belongs to Appa. So what I meant by 'a large amount' was..." he trailed off before smirking "Taking all the shares under Y/N's name"

Jungkook stiffened

"You mean...?"

"She isn't interested in business. So why let those shares go to waste?" Eun-Jun shrugged "You're her husband. Take everything she has before the divorce. That way, you'll have control over a significant portion of the company"

Jungkook let out a scoff, shaking his head "And you think your stubborn sister will just hand them over to me?"

Eun-Jun smirked "That's your problem to solve"

Jungkook clenched his jaw hearing him "You know what? I regret trusting you. But that's not even your fault, it's mine. How could I forget that I was trusting the same person who was willing to sell off his own sister for money?"

His voice was sharp, laced with disgust making Eun-Jun's face hardened "Jungkook, it's not like that—"

"JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Jungkook snapped, his patience running thin. And with that, he stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind him

-Later that night-

Closing the bedroom door behind, Jungkook walked toward the bed where Y/N was already sitting, phone in hand, eyebrows furrowed as she angrily texted someone

"Y/N," Jungkook called but she hummed absentmindedly, still focused on her phone

"Can I ask you something?"

Another hum. Still no eye contact

Jungkook frowned "How many shares do you own in your brother's company?" He asked, and that finally made her look up. She locked eyes with him

"You mean... father's company?" she corrected

Jungkook scoffed. "Fine. Father's company. How many?"

Y/N tilted her head, studying him before a smirk formed on her lips "Why are you suddenly so interested in my shares, huh? Let me guess... That fucker refused to give you more, so now you're planning to snatch mine?"

Her words hit exactly where they were meant to

Jungkook scoffed, shaking his head "Why would you think that much? I just asked a simple question, that's all"

"Whatever" she muttered, rolling her eyes as she went back to her phone

—JUNGKOOK POV

God! Talking to this brat is just pointless!

But one thing keeps bothering me 'how does she always know everything?'

It's like she can see right through me, no matter how carefully I try to hide my intentions

Sometimes, I seriously wonder if she's actually a witch, like she always jokes

But whatever

Right now, my priority is simple, figure out how much she owns and how much she'll inherit in the future

And then... take it all before the divorce

That's the only way to gain real power in this industry

—MEANWHILE Y/N POV

Taking my shares?

Is it that easy, Mr. Jeon Jungkook?

And you want to be powerful?

Sure. I'll make you powerful. Just wait a little longer...

As for the divorce?

Sorry, love. That's not happening. By the time you realize the truth... You'll already be too deep in love with me to leave
