"𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍"

THE RISK WORTH NOTHING.

Tears welled in my eyes due to his grip. Each time I attempted to pull away, he tightened his hold, forcing me to remain still. I noticed a car parked on the road and felt frustrated. How could I have missed it?!

In a fit of rage, he flung open the door and shoved me inside. As I watched him move towards the driver’s seat, He no longer appeared as a furious man; rather, he resembled a reckless monster.

There was a shift in his anger; it became even more lethal, filling me with increasing fear.

He settled into his seat while keeping the gun hidden in his suit. My heart raced as the engine roared to life, panic setting in. I was genuinely terrified of him. A dry lump lodged in my throat as I opted for silence during the ride as my fear of him was consuming.

The atmosphere remained tense as we drove in silence.

This is the ocean before the dangerous tsunami.
I could sense that his rage was about to explode, and I would be the one swept away by it.

Upon arriving to his mansion, I hung my head in guilt, reluctant to face the outcome of my failure. He got out and yanked me along again, dragging me into the living room as I got don't want to refuse anymore I accepted my faith I sighed as agony filled me. Walking in, I noticed every staff member maids, gardeners, and everyone else—except for Haeun. I looked at Jungkook

His face scowled with unrestrained fury. His anger wasn’t merely about my escape; there was something else in the air, something I didn’t grasp.

His eyes were bloodshot, and veins in his neck and hands bulged with rage, making him look even more monstrous.

"Who let her go?" he roared at his staff, causing them all to turn pale and bow their heads in fright.

"I said,

WHO LET HER GO?!"

His shout made everyone flinch, including me, but still, no one spoke. Most of the female staff began to cry as he turned his head in frustration. "Looks like you’re all going to get fired," he groaned angrily, which caused my jaw to drop in shock.

What the hell!? They’re innocent. I was the one who tried to escape; what had they done to deserve this? Why was he punishing them?

"Jeon, stop this madness. I’m the one to blame, not them. They’re innocent!" I shouted, disregarding my fear for him, which only seemed to fuel his anger further as his grip around my wrist tightened digging into my skin, while everyone else appeared stunned by my defiance.

"Shut your damn mouth. You’re the lowlife here. Don’t defend anyone because you here have no worth to start," he barked, belittling me in front of everyone, and tears quickly filled my eyes.

I bit my lower lip hard in shame, lowering my gaze while he noticed my badge and a smirk crept across his face, which made me anxious. Making look at where he was staring

"Shit! Her name.

Haeun?" He smirked and said, "She has made a grave mistake by helping you," his voice low and husky as he addressed the employees.

"Guards, bring Haeun!" he ordered, then turned his attention back to me, that infuriating smirk still on his face as I felt the sweat gathering on my forehead and neck, realizing the potential danger Haeun was in. No! I had left her partially naked.

If the guards discovered this... I couldn't let that happen. I would be the one responsible for her. But if I made a move, there would be severe consequences.

I couldn't just stand by and watch. Taking a deep breath, I suddenly jerked away from his grip and dashed upstairs with him trailing behind. "Yn, stop!" he shouted, but I sprinted as fast as I could, reaching his room just before the guards, and I raced into the shower room but to my horror, she wasn’t there.

Where could she have gone?...
