My Hidden Secret

chapter 7

I reach for the water  in the middle of the table, watching Taehyung from the corner of my eye. He's been in a sour mood for the last few days, but it hit its peak this morning. He hasn't said a word since he came down for breakfast.

We've been at this status  for almost three weeks now. We have breakfast with yoongi and Rosa, and then he goes to work. Every day at two, I go to his office, where he wrecks me bit by bit with his fingers in the best possible way, and in the evening, he enters my room and devours me with his masterful tongue. He sates me so well the only thing I'm able to do after is fall into a deep sleep.

However, nothing else has changed. He still mostly ignores my presence during the day. He hasn't touched me in any way unless he is "solving my problems," and my patience is slowly running out.

"Is your downtown office just a front or a real business?" I ask as I fill my glass with water.

"It's real," he says without lifting his head, focused intently on the plate of food in front of him. "Real estate business is the best way to launder big amounts of money," he adds after another bite.

"And who's in charge of that?"

"Oh, that would be me," yoongi chimes in with a mischievous smile.

I raise my eyebrows. we're talking about laundering millions. Taehyung must have great deal of confidence in his brother's abilities.

"Are you involved in the arms dealing as well, or do you just handle the financial part?" I ask.

Taehyung's head snaps up. "How do you know about our arms dealing business?"

"Please." I snort. "Where do you think I've lived my whole life? Under a rock?"

"You're the don's grandson. You should have spent your days browsing magazines, shopping, and going to spas."

"I'm sorry to disappoint. Spas were never my thing." I shrug. "And because I am the don's grandson, I've been groomed for my role since I was ten."

"And what role would that be?"

"The husband of a capo," I say and take a croissant from the basket.

"Who should do nothing but go shopping and to spas and browse magazines."

"Well, I didn't expect to be married off to a chauvinistic grump, but it is what it is."

Across the table from me, yoongi chokes on his coffee when he bursts out laughing. "Sorry I just . . ." He snickers. "Chauvinistic grump." He laughs again.

I turn my head and find Taehyung watching me through narrowed eyes. 

"I want you to stay in your room this afternoon," he says.

"Why?"

"Simona is coming to take Rosa, and I have a meeting I need to attend. I don't want you two confronting one another, especially when I'm not here." ( simona is rosa's aunt, who want to use this kid to get taehyung and he knows that well)
