Chapter-19

Annie stepped into Jungkook's mansion and her eyes admired the mesmerizing grandeur surrounding her. The exterior was a stunning blend of modern architecture and classic elegance with towering columns and intricate stonework that gleamed under the afternoon sun. She couldn’t help but think, "Well, he's rich after all" Just then, a lady approached them, bowing respectfully to Jungkook, who stood beside Annie with an aura of confidence. 

"Here, send her belongings to her room and guide her to her room" Jungkook ordered authoritatively and handed Annie's bag to the maid, who nodded and turned to Annie with a polite smile. "Please, Miss, follow me". 

Annie managed a tiny smile in response as she stepped forward, ready to follow the maid but suddenly paused as Jungkook's voice passed through her ear. "Mrs. Min" 

Both women halted and Annie hesitantly glanced back with her pounding heart and saw Jungkook stood there, relaxed yet imposing his bulky frame. His face was calm but his eyes held a depth that made her stomach churn. "I’ll take you to my father after a while" 

Confusion swirled in Annie's mind like a storm. She couldn’t comprehend the situation, was she really here just for his father?. "D-Did he really bring me here for his dad?" She nodded slowly before she turned away and walked away even though she felt like invisible strings were just pulling her back making it difficult for her to move while Jungkook kept staring at her as she walked away from there.

"Feel free to call me whenever you need something, Miss." The maid’s voice was warm, almost soothing as she bowed. "You can call me by my name, I don't belong to this family after all" The maid smiled slightly as she nodded. "Alright" Annie smiled and the maid said in her light and friendly tone. "I should go now" 

As the maid turned to leave, Annie watched her walk out before the door clicked softly shut behind her. A sense of calm washed over her for a fleeting moment but as she looked around the room, an unsettling feeling crept back into her heart. She surveyed the room more and her heart felt a squeezing feeling.

Everything around her seemed meticulously curated to her tastes, soft lavender walls that enveloped her in warmth, delicate curtains that fluttered gently with the breeze and plush furniture that invited her to sink in and stay a while. It was as if the room had been crafted specifically for her comfort, yet for some reason it didn't comfort her but made her uneasy. 

Annie took a tentative step toward the window as her fingers brushed against the cool glass. The garden outside was a riot of colors, flowers blooming in vibrant hues, yet even the beauty of the scene couldn’t distract her from the gnawing unease that had settled in her chest. Suddenly, she felt a presence behind her that made her heart race. She instinctively turned her head as her pulse quickened seeing Jungkook close to her. 

"Did you like your room?" The voice was low, almost a whisper in her ear. Annie froze while her heart clenched tightly in fear as the words seemed to wrap around her, suffocating her. Her breath hitched as her eyes caught her hand slowly hiding under his strong palm before he squeezed her hand against the window. Panic surged through her as she immediately looked at him, pushing him away with a deep frown etched across her face. 

But he just smirked at her with a confident glint in his eyes that sent shivers down her spine. "Don't touch me" even though her voice was panicked but it was firm. Jungkook's smirk slowly faded but there was no hint of disappointment in his gaze, instead, his eyes sparkled with a manic intensity that made her heart race. 

She pressed herself tightly against the wall, feeling the cool surface against her back as he stepped closer, invading her space. She closed her eyes as she turned her face away as he leaned onto her and heard his low tone. "I decorated this room as per your preference" She slowly trailed her eyes back to him as fear pooling in her chest as she met his gaze. Jungkook looked mad and the thought of what was swirling in his mind sent chills down her spine.
