I was rushing to enter the house, not minding if I tripped or my hair looked like a bird's nest.

Praying for a miracle that no one noticed that I was gone for the whole night, my hopes turned into a rock when I saw twelve handsome men sitting on the sofa.

It was no time to appreciate. Focus, Divina.

"You can stop thinking too much. I'm home now." I declared softly. It was the only noise that was heard in that moment.  The boys looked at me in unison.

With their messy hair, they managed to look hot. Plus, that serious aura.

"Please tell me that my grandfather let you sleep when I was missing. Please." I said with evidence of guilt. I clasped my hands and called every saint that I could.

These boys were like my family. They were working for my grandfather and were proving themselves as his successors.

My grandfather held a lot of businesses. Even though I was the only family member that was left on him, he didn't address me as his successor, but I would inherit his land properties and money from his accounts.

My grandfather believed that I couldn't handle the businesses he built for years, so he had to train those twelve talented (and good-looking) men to operate it in the future.

Of course, they pledged to take care of me till their last breath.

And that was enough for me, I wasn't even a slight interested on holding a business.

"Did you really think he wouldn't be frenzy when his granddaughter was missing?Goodness. Everyone was dead worried. We thought something bad happened to you." Suho said. I could see he took all the pressure and he was really worried for me.

"I'm sorry. I stayed in a friend's house. We talked about our lives like how a girl should do." I lied.

Just imagining, about what would happen if they knew about me getting laid with a stranger, made me feel horrified.

"We called all of your friends and they said you were partying all night." Kris informed. He had a list on his hand. It looked like phone numbers.

"You don't know all of my friends."

He sure did know.

"Where is she?!!" A loud voice echoed inside the house.

Heavy steps were getting near us.

It was my grandfather and his guards.

I tried to compose myself as best as I could.

"Grandfa--" I didn't finish my greeting because his hand landed on my right cheek.

He never held back. It hurts like hell. I suppressed my sobs, trying to act strong. After all, I couldn't blame anyone but myself.

"YOU ARE SUCH A DISGRACE TO THIS FAMILY! WHAT KIND OF LADY WHO SPEND HER NIGHT AT THE CLUB?!" Grandfather shouted. Ranted. He insulted me...

Everyone was looking at us. I felt ashamed. I wished that the floor would eat me.

"I'm sorry--"

He cut my words once again. I had no voice and no power around that house.

"YOU ARE NOT SORRY, LADY! IF YOUR PARENTS ARE ALIVE, THEY WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU!"

Tears rolled down on my cheeks as he spoke about my parents. I tried to hide it, but it was still a sensitive topic for me.

I felt the boys were wanting to comfort me if grandfather wouldn't mind.

It's been five years since my parents died due to car accident. I was left to my grandfather who worshiped and loved his work so much that I became negligible on his sight.

I lost my value and nobody treasured me like what my parents did.

I didn't grow by his side, so we weren't really close. He spent most of his time in the company or answering phone calls.

And I wished every night that I should have died too since there was no more reason to live.

"You are grounded! We are going to talk about your punishment. And don't think that we will be easy on you." Grandfather said before he left with everyone.

When I assured that they were gone, I slouched on the floor and cried harder.

I've been alone and lonely for so long.

I wished that I could die.

The room was in tension. Nobody liked to start the conversation until the picasso got impatient.

"I thought your actions were too harsh." Kris declared. The meeting needed to end soon because his eyes were yearning  rest.

"Are you questioning the way I discipline my granddaughter?!" The old man asked with a tone of disbelief in his voice.

"Divina isn't a baby. It's pretty natural at her age to party." Suho asserted his opinion calmly.

"Something bad might happen to her if we let her do anything she wants!" Mr. Lee explained, emphasizing every word that they shouldn't argue with him.

"Chanyeol, Sehun, Kai, Baekhyun and Luhan were on the same club last night." Xiumin pointed the mentioned boys.

"Why didn't you send her home?!" The old man shouted.

"She looks happy in the club. Never see her smile like that." Kai said while swaying his swivel chair like a kid.

"Grandfather, you should be easy on her. Girls are sensitive." Kyungsoo added.

The old man sighed.

"Everyone in this room needs a rest. About her punishment, I'll think about it. Suho suggested and everyone agreed.

"From: Unknown Number

Baby girl, you didn't go to the club anymore. :( Did I get you pregnant in just one night?"

An unexpected text came. Her face turned pale.

How did he get her number?

What if this man has a grudge to her grandfather and has been thinking to get his revenge using her?

Her grandfather has a lot of enemies because of the business competition, which means there was a possibility that she's right.

"To: Unknown Number
Who are you? And what the hell are you saying? Pervert!"

"From: Unknown Number
You don't know me? That's sad, baby girl. You cannot hide from me even you change your club preference. I will always hunt you down. I'm watching you."

She trembled. She needed help. Nothing would be resolved if she let this passed.

Luckily, she had someone to trust.
