Billionaire's Bride | Jungkook

Special Chapter: I will destroy everything

Kenzie
Into the heart of your empire.

26 July, 2024

Jungkook...

I don't know what's real anymore.

Not you.

Not me.

Not the life we've been pretending to live.

Returning to the Zade Palace—my real home, the one soaked in ashes and ghosts, broke something in me.

The walls whispered everything I tried to forget. And suddenly... I wasn't strong. I wasn't fearless. I was just a daughter grieving all over again.

And maybe worse...

I was ashamed.

Ashamed that I signed a contract, not for love, not for gain, but out of desperation. Desperation to find out who murdered my father.

But what did I do with that desperation?

Nothing.

I let it die quietly while I buried myself in your world.

While I let your smile blur my edges, my brother was out there chasing shadows, turning grief into purpose. He kept digging... and what he found destroyed me.

Your dad, Jeon William, is the one involved in money laundering.

Instead, my dad got the blame.

I checked out all the evidence Scott gathered, and it turned out Jeon William and Alexander Zade were in a diamond deal that never took off.

Then there was proof of William's money laundering, and somehow, my dad ended up being accused of it.

The man who shook my father's hand and posed for childhood photos beside him was the same man stabbing him in the back.

In the world of business, betrayal is common.

But this?

This was war disguised as friendship.

The deeper I looked, the worse it got.

Corrupted diamond files.

Secret dealings.

And always the same name behind them.

Jeon William!

Then came the will.

Filed.

Sealed.

Hidden.

A clause that says: Kenzie Zade will inherit everything... if she has an heir.

And suddenly, everything made sense.

Your father's obsession with me.

The pressure.

The contract.

The demand for an heir within a year.

At first, I thought he wanted royal blood, specifically Zade blood, to boost the Jeon family's reputation.

But now I know the truth. He didn't want just power. He wanted all of it.

All of Zade.

Thank God my father changed the will at the last moment just before he was killed.

No one knew it existed.

Not even me.

But Scott found it.

And it changes everything.

It says that the moment I turned twenty-one, full control of the Zade estate, every property, every account, every diamond becomes mine.

Funny thing is... I turned twenty-one two months ago.

So yes, legally, the empire is mine.

All we need now is to file it in court and just like that, the legacy they tried to bury comes back to life.

I'll be the Kenzie Zade again.

Not the scandal-ridden wife of a Jeon.

But the daughter of the Diamond King.

Powerful.

Untouchable.

But not yet.

Not like this.

Not when my father's name is still stained with money laundering charges. I'll clear that first. Then and only then I'll reclaim what's rightfully mine.

But this time, I won't charge in blindly.

This time, I'll move with precision. Piece by piece... until the Jeon Empire forgets what it ever felt like to stand without shaking in my shadow.

Yet I somehow fear going back to your mansion not because I fear William.

But because I fear you.

Because what if you were part of it all?

What if all of it was just a trap?

I don't know anymore, Jungkook.

But I do know this: I need to go back.

Back to your office.

Back into the heart of your empire.

I need access.

I need proof.

I need the truth.

And if I find even the faintest trace linking your Dad to my father's murder...

I will destroy everything the Jeons have built.

Everything.

I will burn it to the ground with my own hands.
Because no amount of gold, no crown, no mansion,
could ever weigh more than my father's blood.

Scott never stopped searching.

He never gave up.

And what did I do?

I lost myself in you.

In your lips.

Your touch.

Your storms.

How tragic that the man I have loved is the reason I forgot why I started this war.

But tell me, Jungkook...

Would you do the same for me?

Would you choose me, if the truth broke everything?

Would you love me if it meant betraying the father who raised you?

My heart says no.

And maybe I always knew the answer.

But I wanted to believe in you anyway.
