1. Birth of the heir
The grand mansion of Jeon Empire was eerily quiet that night, broken only by the ragged groans of a woman in labor.
On the silk-covered bed, Jeon Ji-hyun writhed in pain, sweat glistening on her pale face as another contraction tore through her.
Jeon Ji Hyun
Min-ho… please… take me to a hospital. I can’t… I can’t do this here—
Her husband, Jeon Min-ho, stood near the window, arms folded, his sharp gaze scanning the armed guards outside. His tone was calm, almost dismissive.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
No. Too dangerous.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
My enemies would strike the moment we set foot outside.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
You will give birth here.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
The heir must be safe.
Jeon Ji Hyun
*choking back tears*
Jeon Ji Hyun
Safe for him… but what about me?
Another cry tore from her throat, raw and desperate. The house doctor rushed in, kneeling beside the bed, his face grim as he checked her condition.
Doctor
Sir… there’s a complication. If she gives birth like this, her body will suffer greatly. She… may not be able to carry another child again.
For a heartbeat, silence hung heavy in the air. Ji-hyun’s breathing came in shallow gasps, her hands clawing at the sheets as pain wracked her body.
Jeon Ji Hyun
*hoarse whisper*
Jeon Ji Hyun
Please… help me… it hurts… I can’t—
The doctor looked at Min-ho, desperate for permission to change course. But Min-ho’s jaw tightened, his eyes colder than stone.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
As long as the child survives, nothing else matters. Do what you must.
The room filled with her cries, guttural and broken, echoing against the walls of the mansion. Hours stretched on like eternity, until finally, the sharp cry of a newborn pierced the air.
Ji-hyun, trembling and exhausted, reached out with weak arms. Her face, wet with tears, softened as she gazed at the tiny child placed in her embrace.
Jeon Ji Hyun
*whispering, voice breaking*
Jeon Ji Hyun
My baby… my Jungkook…
Behind her, Min-ho allowed a rare smile to touch his lips. Not for the woman who had nearly died bringing life into the world. Not for her suffering, her sacrifice.
But for one truth only: his heir — an Alpha — had finally been born.
