Fated To You

Chapter 9: The Unraveling of Jennie

The revelation of Jennie's lies was a slow burn within the Eunoia clan. Jungkook had uncovered the truth, but now, the question was how to reveal it without tearing the clan apart. Taehyung was determined to maintain order, but he also knew Jennie's betrayal couldn't be ignored.

Taehyung sat with Jungkook in the early morning light, the tension between them palpable but unspoken. They had been discussing the situation for hours, trying to figure out the best way to confront Jennie. The child was still innocent in all of this, but Jennie had put everyone at risk with her deception.

"We need to handle this carefully," Jungkook said, his voice soft but firm. "She's still respected by some in the clan, and if we expose her too abruptly, it could cause division."

Taehyung nodded, his gaze thoughtful. "You're right. But I also can't let her continue to manipulate people. She used that child to bind me to her, and she could do it again."

Jungkook reached out, placing a reassuring hand on Taehyung's. "We'll find a way. Together."

The bond between them was growing stronger with each passing day, and Taehyung couldn't help but feel grateful for Jungkook's presence in his life. Despite the chaos surrounding them, Jungkook remained a constant source of strength and wisdom.

But they both knew that confronting Jennie wouldn't be easy.

Later that day, Taehyung called Jennie to his chambers. He sat at his desk, his expression unreadable as he waited for her to arrive. Jungkook stood by his side, his presence a silent show of support.

When Jennie finally entered the room, her face was a mask of cold indifference. She knew something was coming—she had felt the shift in Taehyung's demeanor over the past few days—but she didn't yet know the full extent of what was about to unfold.

"Jennie," Taehyung began, his voice calm but firm. "We need to talk."

Jennie raised an eyebrow, her tone icy. "About what?"

"About the child," Taehyung said, leaning forward. "And about the lies you've been telling me."

Jennie's eyes flickered with surprise, but she quickly masked it. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know exactly what I'm talking about," Taehyung replied, his voice hardening. "You lied to me, Jennie. You made me believe that the child was mine, but he's not."

Jennie's cold facade cracked for just a moment, her eyes widening in shock. She hadn't expected Taehyung to find out—not this soon, not like this. But before she could respond, Jungkook stepped forward, his voice steady.

"We know the truth, Jennie. The child isn't Taehyung's, and he never was."

Jennie's gaze flickered between the two of them, her mind racing. She had always known this day would come, but she hadn't anticipated how devastating it would feel. She had lied to protect herself, to ensure her place within the clan, but now everything was unraveling.

"What do you want from me?" Jennie finally asked, her voice low.

"We want the truth," Taehyung said, his tone resolute. "Why did you lie? And who is the child's real father?"

Jennie hesitated, her eyes narrowing. She knew that telling the truth would mean the end of her position within the clan, but she also knew she had no choice.

"He was a rogue," Jennie admitted, her voice bitter. "An alpha I met outside the clan. I thought...I thought if I could convince you the child was yours, I would secure my place here."

Taehyung's heart sank. Jennie had used him, manipulated him, and for what? To gain power and status within the clan? His anger flared, but he forced himself to remain calm.

"You've put this entire clan at risk," Taehyung said, his voice low and dangerous. "You lied to me, and you used an innocent child as a pawn in your game."

Jennie's gaze hardened, but she didn't speak. There was nothing she could say to defend herself.

"We'll decide what to do with you soon," Taehyung said, his tone final. "But for now, you're dismissed."

Jennie left the room without another word, her cold demeanor barely concealing the fear that gripped her heart.
