Lethal Love || Taehyung BTS

VI

"What was that important thing you wanted to say?" Taehyung asked his mother who was sitting on the couch with a glass of whiskey on her hand.

"I need money." She said coldly.

Grace had always been cold to her children, she never showed love or affection, money were the most important thing to her.

She had messed up with Taehyung's father, got pregnant and when learned that he was married, she left to Busan. There she married Minho who accepted Taehyung as his own son but Grace all her life wanted only money and when he lost all his fortune gambling and on drugs, she left him, going back to the mafia leader, Taehyung's biological father.

She never cared for him or his little sister. She abandoned the little Jade, letting her on Minoh's hand. And used Taheyung to get money from his father, since he couldn't have children from his marriage, Grace asked money in change of Taheyung.

That's how he found himself into the mafia world. His father prepared him to be a mafia leader and Taehyung took the control at his twentieth birthday. His whole life was mafia.

"You always need money." He said going to the bar and poring himslef a drink. He needed one badly tonight.

Taheyung didn't want to admit it but deep down he got scared when saw Nicole unconscious. He had never felt that constriction on his chest, not even when his dad was shot.

"I have no one else beside you honey, your sister refuses to see me. You are my only hope." Grace faked a sad voice, but Taehyung didn't believe her . He knew his mother perfectly.

"I will give you as much as you want, just get lost from our lifes." He said getting out of his pocket a check book and singing a blank one for his mother.

"Of course you will want me out of your life now that your wife has you wrapped around her little finger. It was her idea to pay me to leave?" Grace spoke after secured the check into her purse.

"She has nothing to do with it. It was my decison only." Taheyung said glaring at the smirking face of his mother.

"Right. " She laughed loudly.

"You are so naive my boy. Once she has power over you, she will play whoever she wants with you. At the end you became just a play toy." She said drinking the last content on her glass.

"That won't happen with me." Taheyung said angrily, hoping that the smirk on her face would vanish.

"That's what you think. Once you start getting soft, you are gone." She laughed evily.

Taheyung started thinking of how soft he had been with Nicole tonight, he shouldn't have helped her. She will never get to see his soft side, he will never became weak for a woman like his mother said.

Slaming the unfunished drink on the table, Taehyung left Grace's luxurious apartment that he had bought for her. He supported her mother with money every time she would break up from her old rich boyfriends.  And lately she had called him many times at day, wanting to meet him so he had promised her for tonight, just to stop her disturbing calls.

It was better this way, he would have done something for which he would blame himself if he  had stayed  one more minute in his hosue, with Nicole .

******

His mother words rang on his head since that day he left from her house. He hadn't been home since that night when Nicole was sick, more like he wanted to prove himself that he didn't felt even a slight emotion for her. He can't feel anything else for her but revenge.

Parking his sportive car in front of the house, he noticed that the only light was coming from the kitchen.

Taehyung went straight to the kitchen where Nicole was on her own world trying to arrange the table and didn't even noticed him leaning on the door, observing her.

"What are you doing?" He spoke from behind, scaring the hell out of her. 

"I prepared dinner." Nicole smiled to him after getting herself back from the scare he gave her.

She had been doing this every day after she recovered from her allergy. Waiting for Taehyung to come home, cooking for him every night but he never showed up.

He looked at her suspiciously, she was acting sweet so suddenly. There must be something after all this.

"You don't know how to cook." Taehyung said going near her.

"I know this dish." She said smiling.

Nicole had called Jade and asked her for her brother's favourite food and learned from her how to cook it. She wanted to do something for Taehyung, he had helped her that night she was sick. And lately she had a change of her heart, maybe she was falling for him. She couldn't name what were the messed up emotions she felt but she was sure that he had an important place in her heart.

"What are your real intentions Nicole? What are you trying to do?" Taehyung asked with a deadly glare.

"Nothing. I just cooked dinner." She answered avoiding his eyes.

"Cooking my favourite food? Smiling and acting so sweet? What the hell are you trying to do?" Taehyung shouted making her tremble.

"Have you put poison in the food?" He asked and Nicole responded quickly by shaking her head as a no.

Grabbing a spoon with food he caged her between the kitchen counter and his body, forcing the food into her mouth.

She almost chocked but gulped all of it down. She hated spicy foods but she had to eat it to prove him that she hadn't put poison on it.

Taehyung saw how Nicole swallowed with difficulty and that added his suspicions that she had put something on it.

"That's what I thought." He smirked at her.

"It's just too spicy for me." She said.

" Finish it." He orderd her, taking his usual seat on the table.

"I can't. I don't like spicy foods. I cooked it becaue It's your favourite." Nicole spoke lowly.

"Than why the hell did you cook something you don't like? Just beacause I like it? Out of nowhere you are taking the role of the perfect wife. Isn't it strange?"

"I wanted to thank you for that night. Fot taking care of me." She answered calmly to all his accusations.

It hurt her that Taheyung thought that she wanted to poison him but she had right to suspect at her. They had had a hate-hate relationship but Nicole didn't hate him anymore. She wanted to give their marriage a chance.

"Thanking me? For God's sake Nicole don't make me laugh. You took it as caring? I didn't want you dead by a fever. I would like to do that by myself." Taehyung said with a cold tone that made Nicole freeze on her spot.

"My bad." She said and with a blurry vision from teary eyes she started clenaing the table.

He left kitchen an headed to the bedroom. His wife was strange tonight, she normally would have talked back at him but strangely this time she was quiet.

Taehyung shouldn't think so much about her, she deserved all his words and actions tonight.

He had been too good with her the last times and now she thought that he will be good always to her, she mistook his help for caring.

His mother had been right, she was trying to make him fall for her sweet actions and then rule over him. But Taehyung will never give her the opportunity, he won't let a woman have power on him.
