The devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 2]

Chapter 234 - Is it Jimin?

There was pin-drop silence in the car except for the occasional leaves rustling due to the car window left opened.

"Do you suspect Max?" asked Taehyung breaking the silence. "Or anyone else for that matter."

"Max is a brain-dead dippy. As for others, Heather had clashes with his mistress but I have been keeping eye on her ever since the accident happened. His third wife appeared in his life in the later years. So, both don't know each other."

"Even if they haven't met, we gotta do a background check on her, France. I will try asking mom if I can get any information about aunt's friends also." Added Taehyung. "Did you file a police complaint after the accident?"

"No. Arnold was secretly investigating the case and now Eunwoo has taken up the charge," Francis said.

"I will talk with him then."

"Keep her safe, Taehyung. I am scared. Jennie is facing threats from two anonymous people. If something happens to her again...I can't_" Francis's breath tightened at the thought itself.

"Don't worry, France. I will not let anything happen to her." Taehyung reassured. Even the most intelligent are bound to make mistakes at some point in time. He is waiting for it to happen. "Have a safe trip, France. I have to go. If that monster gets up in the middle, I am dead meat."

"Are you calling my baby a monst_"

Taehyung and Nick have gone already. Francis sped the car with a heavy heart.

.....

The morning sun rays passed through the see-through curtains and fell on the girl's side face radiating her beauty. Jennie was in la-la land where Taehyung was flying in the air like a spider man holding her in his arms. He then took her to the universe and just as he knelt on his one knee to propose her in the presence of stars, Jennie jerked awake with a start when she felt a spank on her back followed by a voice.

"Get up lazy bum. Are you building castles in your dream?"

"Ahhh...My dream...It's weekend, Taehyung..." Jennie cried opening her eyes. When her gaze landed on Taehyung, her throat ran dry at the sight and she even forgot the dream. Shirtless, sweatpants lying low at his h.i.p.s, sweat trickling down from his face due to an intense workout. can this day get any better? Is he seducing me early in the morning?

"I know I am handsome but you should stop ogling at my body. It's creepy."

"I am creepy!" Exclaimed Jennie. "Says one who spanks my b.u.t.t every chance he gets."

"Butts are made for spanking." Winking at her Taehyung was about to enter the bathroom, a pillow hit his back. Fuming, he turned around and threw the pillow back towards her. "I will take my revenge in the bed one day." With that, he entered the bathroom.

"I will take my revenge." Jennie mimicked him grabbing her mobile. Her jaw dropped to the floor seeing the missed calls from Jungkook. Twenty missed calls in an hour? He has beaten Taehyung's record. She called back immediately and it's not even ringed fully, the call got lifted. Is he waiting for my call? "What's up Jeon Jungkook?"

"Section 1001 of title 18 of United States Code, you are accused of being guilty of lying."

"What?" Jennie's mouth opened and closed like a starfish. "My dear rented brother, I know that you are a lawyer but I don't understand lawyers' language."

" If I am your brother, then why didn't you inform me about your marriage? If not for Jin, I wouldn't have known."

Guilt tripped on Jennie. Damn! I forgot to inform him. How to cover up my mistake now. "Actually, brother...It's just a civil marriage. I thought of directly coming to your home and invite you to the wedding ceremony."
