DESTINY 18+

chapter 24

Y/n POV:
I storm inside the room tears falling down....

My feelings doesnt matter??? Am I a toy that everyone uses and throws me away???
Why don't I stand for myself all the time when people use me?? Am I so weak???

Tears kept rolling down my cheeks....no i have to stay strong

I stood near the dressing table wiping my tears away... A pair of arms pulled me by my waist as my eyes widen

"Hey don't cry" Joshua stood behind me holding closer as he rested his head on my shoulder...I can see him through the dressing table mirror as he stares my eyes ...I was speechless by the sudden interaction but I felt....calm.

"Princess, i know i should have discussed earlier with you but we had no time for all this...trust me I will keep you the happiest....the world will be beneath your foot" he nuzzled his nose near my neck....my finger touched his palm which is resting on my stomach..

"Joshua i want to meet my parents one time" I felt him stop nuzzling and turned me around to face him.

"Why? You know they sold you right-" I cut him off. I feel a pang in my chest when I hear the word SOLD.

"I know they did but I want to meet them one last time please" tears are back in my eyes making my vision blur.

All the memories I had with my parents felt fake. The love they shared felt like a burden. I want to talk to them one last time was it so hard to raise me? What wrong did I do to deserve such parents when I never complainted for anything ever since childhood. I have no idea where yunha is. I don't have my phone neither i remember her number. I miss everyone and everything. My life is a mess right now and I'm not able to join the puzzles to understand why it's happening with me.

Joshua cupped my face "Ok princess BUT you have to make it fast. I won't allow you to meet them more then an hour and no more meets after this ok? Promise me?" His warmth erased my worries. I should be angry at him but i can't. Maybe I trusted him too much and fell for his charm. Even though he is the biggest mafia leader I see a soft spot for me or maybe I'm wrong. I can see in his eyes he will never hurt me but that doesn't mean i surrender myself right now.

"Ok" i nodded backing away a little from his warmth.

"Now smile" he said but that's the most difficult part in my life. I lost my charm. I lost my smile. I don't wanna lose who I am.

I gave a fake smile but I'm sure he is not convenienced but right now that's enough for both of us.

"Tomorrow morning be ready we will take you to your father's place. Once your done we have to shop few things for our wedding ok?" He said brushing his finger on my cheeks before leaving the room empty.

I sighted and turned around facing the mirror again preparing myself to be strong and face my parents boldly. I took few tissue paper and wipe the dry tears off my face. I pulled one of the table drawers to found a velvet box with lot of stones carved on it. My curiosity increased as i opened the box to find a familiar hand kerchief.

"This....this is mine? I thought I lost it" it was safe inside the velvet box. Not even tore or lost it colour. It's been 5 years I probably lost it I don't even remember exactly but I try to recollect the memory. The last i saw this was when I went to the investor meet with my parents......THE FIRST TIME I MET JOSHUA.
(Refer chapter 7 in case you guys forgot)

I felt smile tug on corner of my lips. He kept something which is not valuable at all so safe. No wonder how he will keep me when he loves me so much? And his brothers are like a shield protection.

*Knock on the door*

I turn around to find a maid standing near the door.
"Yes?" I ask her as she bows down to me.

"Ma'am Joshua sir told me to give you this" she hands me a bag which is heavy as hell. She bows again and leaves once I take the bag inside the room keeping it on the bed.

As i open i found a cute dress. A long gown with floral design. A small pendent which is probably made of diamond and gold. The spark is so bright I might lose my eyesight. Though my eye sight is poor. A bracelet made of diamond again but a small Ruby in the middle which has my first letter engraved. A pair of heels not fancy but elegant which screams MONEY. Last but no the least a CELL PHONE!!!

I quickly take out and turn on. The display has a image of seventeen and the contact list has only seventeen members wowwww..... I had my hopes high. And the favourite list contact has only Joshua name. Isn't this jerk obsessed? I try removing it from the favourite list rolling my eyes but default setting doesn't allow me to do it. Maybe woozi has to do something with this.

I kept the cell phone aside and pick the small handwritten letter. It says:

"I hope you like the dress. I personally designed it making sure it matches your skin tone and makes you look prettier than you already are" from the8

"The pendant and bracelet is a small token of welcome from us. Hope you like it" from dino

"My love, feel free to always reach us out from the cell phone when you need. Love you" from Joshua

"I'm sorry please don't hate me. I know you can't change any settings from the phone because it's a request from Joshua hyung but I will add whatever you need hehe" from woozi

"Please don't throw the heels on us when you meet. I know we both troubled you the most but please accept our little gift bestie" from jeonghan and Scoups.

I chuckled "how crazy can this family be"
