The devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 2]

Chapter 207 - Wrecked her happy life

Jennie buried her head on his c.h.e.s.t, his heartbeat was a tune that soothed her body. Her silent whimpers were tormenting him without a pause, like a fist clutched around his heart, squeezing it anarchically.

Taehyung has no impression of what transpired with Jennie in the past to get scared of Kai but he knew she is not at ease when Kai is around. He had observed it when she passed out in Seattle.

In disbelief, Kai stared at the trembling girl. He has been thinking of Jennie's words and when he rewind them, he felt a strong misunderstanding has occurred between them. Before Kai took a step forward to clear the misunderstanding, he heard a bone-chilling voice.

"Don't!"

"Taehyung...Please let me talk to Jennie once." Kai begged. "She has got a false impression_"

"What have you done to her, bastard." Taehyung spat out. Beneath his eyes was the rage burning like hellfire. Adrenaline was up to his throat ready to detonate the man in front of him. If Jennie was not in his arms trembling, the office would be a battleground by now. He has to take care of Jennie first before he vents up his anger.

He was glad Jennie messaged him beforehand unlike last time she has come to the office unannounced. Taehyung was a little late in seeing her message due to back-to-back meetings and by the time, he reached the office, Jennie was in the same room with someone she loathes.

"Taehyung," Jennie spoke up in a trembling voice. "Can you take me home if you don't have a meet_"

"Shhh!!" He silenced her. "We will go home." Taehyung lifted her and carried her out of the room without sparing a single glance at Kai.

The room fell dead silent. Kai could hear his own breathing. At a distance, Tzuyu stood there and witnessed the entire scene. She was in shambles. What happened here? How does Jennie know Kai? Coming out of her trance, she stepped into the office room to ask Kai, and before she could speak a word, he left the room.

....

All the while, Taehyung did not speak a word. When he reached home, he stepped out of the car and straight away carried Jennie to the bedroom. Before he took a step forward to fetch hot water, Jennie held his arm.

"I am not going anywhere, sweetheart." He squeezed her arm and assured her. "I will go fetch hot water and come back."

Jennie disagreed silently and pulled him to the bed. He removed his suit jacket and threw it onto the floor. He then climbed the bed and settled next to Jennie. "Sleep. I will be here." He stroked her back in rhythm until she dozed off. His thoughts were wavering on her cries in the office. It pained him to see when Jennie recollects her memories.

....

It was late in the evening, Jennie opened her eyes. Her upper body was lying on Taehyung's c.h.e.s.t and her left leg was around his torso. He wrapped his arms around her waist securely. It was displaying his protectiveness towards her.

Jennie smiled at their position. Taehyung never compelled or got mad at her for not talking about Kai. He patiently waited for her to reveal everything by herself. He could have asked Francis or Jin but he respected her choice. Where can I get a man like him? When you can tell each other everything without any secrets and lies, that's called a true relationship. Keeping secret from him is no different than lying to him. He has given all the respect and I have to give something to him in return.

"Taehyung..." With a smile, she pressed her lips on his forehead.

"Hmmm.."

"Are you awake?" Jennie removed her leg thinking he would feel numbness in his body.
