...****************...

The room was suffocating quiet, the kind of silence that prickled at Glory's nerves. She sat stiffly in the leather chair, her fingers gripping the edge of the worn folder containing the contract she had just signed.

She had no choice. The hospital bills were piling up, and her sister's life depending on her swallowing her pride.

"Do you understand, what's expected of you?" A deep voice broke the silence.

Her gaze flicked up to meet his. Jeon Jungkook. The man whose wealth was whispered about in hushed tones. His dark eyes bore into her with intensity that made her pulse quicken and her stomach churn.

"Yes." She replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

His lips curved into a faint smirk as he leaned back in his chair, the dim light casting shadows across his sharp features.

"Good, you'll begin immediately."

Later that night....

Glory's hands trembled as she arranged the documents on Jungkook's desk. It was late, and the estate was eerily quiet. She hadn't seen him since their earlier meeting, but his presence seemed to linger in every corner.

"Still working ?" His voice startled her, low and smooth, sending a shiver down her spine.

She turned sharply, her breath hitching. He stood in the doorway, his tie loosened, his shirt unbuttoned just enough to reveal the ink that curled along his collarbone.

"I- I wanted to finish organizing these," She stammered, clutching a stack of papers to her chest.

He stepped closer, his movements deliberate, predatory. "You're through. I like that."

Glory took a step back, her knees hitting the edge of the desk. His gaze was unrelenting, pinning her in place.

"You're tense," Jungkook murmured, his fingers brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Relax, you're mine now, remember?"

Her heart raced at his words, but she stood frozen, unsure of what to do or say.

Before she could respond, his hand slid to the back of her neck, pulling her closer. His lips brushed against her ear as she whispered, "I don't tolerate disobedience, Glory. Do we understand each other ?"

She nodded shakily, her breath coming in shallow gasps.

"Good," He said his voice softer now, almost tender. "Now go to your room, and lock the door."

Glory stumbled back to her room, her mind racing. She didn't understand why her body reacted the way it did to his words - to the touch of his hand on her skin. She locked the door as he'd instructed, her fingers trembling around the key.

She leaned against the door, trying to steady her breathing. But the moment she began to calm herself, she heard a knock.

"Open the door," came Jungkook's voice, firm and commanding.

Her heart leaped into her throat. She hesitated staring at the doorknob as if it would move on its own.

"I won't ask twice, Glory."

Slowly, she unlocked the door, her hand shaking as she pulled it open. Jungkook stood there, his expression unreadable.

"I told you to lock it" he said stepping inside without asking for permission.

"I- I did" She replied, stepping back.

"Then why did you open it?" He shut the door behind him, the sound echoing in the small room.

"I thought-"

"You thought wrong" he cut her off, his voice low but filled with a dangerous edge.

"When I give you an order, you obey it. Understand?"

Glory nodded, her pulse racing as he moved closer.

Jungkook's gaze soften just slightly as he reached out, his hand cupping her jaw. "You're mine, now. Your life, your choices- they all belong to me. And I protect what's mine."

His lips were on her before she could respond, the kiss hard and possessive. She gasped against his mouth, her body tensing before melting under his touch. His hands slid to her waist, pulling her flush against him.

Glory's mind screamed at her to stop, but her body betrayed her, responding to the heat and intensity of the kiss.

"You'll learn to follow my rules, Glory," he murmured against her lips. "But for now, I'll let this slide."

With one last lingering look, Jungkook stepped back, his smirk returning. "Get some rest. Tomorrow, your real work begins."

And with that, he was gone leaving her breathless and more confused than ever.
