A sharp pain resonated in her head as she groaned and sat up on the bed. She glanced at the side and saw Taehyung deep asleep, so they had slept together after so long and it had been strangely...peaceful.

She pushed her hair back from her forehead and grabbed her phone from the drawer. Hundreds of messages and missed calls. Was it from the company? Ofcourse it was, when you forget the business trip and focus on revenge and making out with your husband after a few weeks, absolutely expected.

She blinked her eyes a few times to get a clear vision and saw many messages from Mr. Woseok.

"Where are you?" No responses.
He still didn't fire her though? That was concerning. Why did he not?

An arm started slipping through her waist and pushed her towards himself. "You're awake? It's 5 am right now." Elenora frowned.

"I could ask you the same." He said in his sleepy voice, "What's wrong?"

Elenora handed him the phone as he adjusted to the light from the screen and read the messages.

"Don't go to him." He put the phone aside. "Why?" Elenora asked, "I'm confused by this behavior, why not fire me?"

"Woseok works for Ryan." Taehyung said casually as if it didn't matter much.

"Ryan?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Jungkook's college friend. He's alive and played his death game a few years ago to start mafia business and have a different identity, R-industries is owned by him." Taehyung explained.

"Oh." Elenora nodded, understanding.

"You broke another laptop. What'd you see?" He chuckled.

"That Franz commanding Jungkook into trapping me but I don't get why Ryan would want me." Elenora took off the blanket and stood up.

"Hmm." Taehyung relaxed himself.

"K-Kim Taehyung is back." These words were enough to make Tom's blood run cold. Hanna stuttered as she hurriedly packed her stuff. "He shouldn't know who did it, we'll leave without a trace, I'm sure nobody else knows." Tom suggested.

"That's what I'm doing!" She groaned, struggling to push the stuff in the suitcase.

"And the gold bricks?" Hanna asked surprised.

"I know what to do, first, focus on escaping."

Franz put his phone aside. The city of Madrid was busy and he realized soon that meeting in a 5-star restaurant for a discussion was not a good idea.

"My bad for being late." Haven gave him a warm smile before sitting on the chair across the table, infront of him. "I'm Franz Trezeguet."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Franz, I'm Haven Stafford, sister of Zach Stafford." She smiled in response.

"Yeah I got your contact from Zach, we used to be classmates in high school." Franz nodded, his aura still unchanged making Haven a little uncomfortable.

"So... what'd you call me for?" She asked. Franz signalled a few men at the back to leave and empty up the restaurant.

"The thing is, Miss Haven, I want you to do a job for me, since Zach is making a deal with Kim and sent you to initiate a meeting, I thought I might as well offer you something..." Franz smirked slightly.

Haven raised her eyebrows, "Go ahead."

Franz started explaining everything to her and she nodded understanding.
