"𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍"

THE CEREMONY

I felt a cold chill run down my spine. She is dead, and that means I must be the one who caused her death.

People were right all along; I am her murderer. I killed Mrs. Jeon.

I can't breathe; my throat feels constricted, and I'm filled with anxiety. The heavy breathing makes me sweat, and chills run through my veins. The fear I thought I would never face has become my reality, but it's worse than I could have imagined. I can't bear it.

Now, my life has turned into a nightmare, and it's about to get even worse. That thought sends shudders through me. My body feels cold as fear consumes me.

My vision blurred as I saw Jungkook standing next to Ms. Jeon's coffin. He was stiff, not shedding a tear, but his gaze instilled even more fear in me.

Seeing my mother's coffin shattered my heart, but the fact that the murderer who caused it is even more painful. I can hardly process it. She endured so much after the accident.

I hope she finds peace. A tear slipped from my eye, which I wiped away angrily; she will pay for what she's done. This isn't a time for tears it's time for her to suffer. To bring her to tears,

The one mistake I made resulted in her death. It should have been me; that would have been easier to accept. The only person I loved has left me in this vast emptiness.

Taking a deep breath, I lifted my head just to see the killer standing there infront of my mother's sleep boby. . Rage boiled within me. Why is she still alive? I was so consumed with my thoughts that I didn't even show her what true hell looks like. What's revenge without the pain?

But my plan is different. She will endure torment every day, just like my mother did. And I will ensure it's executed flawlessly.

I felt terrified of him. Just his look made me tremble; my heartbeat quickened. The pain I caused him weighed heavily on my heart. Tears welled up as I saw the intensity of his anger, and I felt too ashamed to face him.

I averted my gaze and lowered my head, walking away with a heavy heart. But soon, I collided with a familiar figure.

Taehyung!? I gasped in shock, my eyes widening.

He is the most dangerous mafia leader in the world, known as "Leonardo Alonzo." He rules a dark underworld we're better off not knowing about.

If he notices you, you're as good as dead-nobody questions him. But why is he here?

I knew him because he once visited my family's mansion for a deal with my father. It seemed illegal, and when I confronted my dad, he revealed Taehyung was a the mafia king.

"Yn?" he called out with a deep voice, and I met his tawny eyes, which also seemed displeased to see me.

*Chuckle* I never expected to see the murderer in her victim's mansion, especially with everyone knowing she was the killer, He said sarcastically, breaking my heart and forcing me to look down in shame. I tried to walk away; avoiding him was in my best interest, but he grabbed my wrist, making me meet his dark gaze.

"No wonder you escaped so early," he smirked, looking into my eyes as tears filled them.

"You really play the innocent part well," he added, groaning as I glared at him with watery eyes. "Does everyone say that to you?"

You destroyed his life, but not anymore-he's not the same Jungkook as before. Now, he's ready to get his revenge...
