Two Days Later

"Noona~" Jungkook and Yeonjun whinnied at the same time but both glared at each other right the next second.
The boys started sulking right after the breakfast when Y/N told them that they couldn't join them for the birthday celebration.

"We'll try to get back on time, I promise!" Yn tried to persuade them. She looked at Yoongi, silently asking for help who only huffed in annoyance and cleared his throat.
"Let her be. We're all going to the carnival. If sister-in-law is busy, it's her loss!"

The boys hesitated for a bit but agreed quickly. Yeonjun had a sulky expression on his face but when Yoongi looked at him and asked "Oyi, you Tokyo tower! Won't you come?"
A sudden wave of energy smacked him in his face and the boy grinned widely, all teeth on display.

"I'll come with you!" Woozi suggested Yn, making Mr Min raise his eyebrows at him and the others looked stunned.
The boy poked the insides of his cheek and said "What? I don't want my bike gone!"
He scoffed, rolling his eyes and turned on his heels walking out of the hall.

YN looked at him surprised and even the hyung line had the same expression as her.

"Will you two be fine alone?" Hoseok asked Namjoon, pulling him aside from the group.

"I guess so!" The younger answered unsure. He was actually worried.
"I myself don't know why are we going there in the first place.

I really don't understand the business talks. I'll have to trust grandfather's words. And you also be careful and don't let anyone wander without the guards. Please!"
Hoseok snickered and gave him a small hug.
"Tone down a bit Namjoon-ah! Your appa syndrome is resurfacing....." Hoseok patted his head playfully.

"Just what kind of place is this?" Namjoon asked frowning, his voice annoyed as he carefully tied up the fancy mask on his face.

"You'll find out soon, husband!" Yn answered with a small snicker as the huge Victorian door opened revealing the large ballroom.
And then it hit them.

The loud and overly boisterous music, the combined scent of multiple perfumes, and the lingering smell of cigerattes and cigars and alcohols.
And Namjoon can swear he never in his wildest dreams would want to step in such place again.

He was hating it already.

"Welcome to The Hearts, Mr Mins and Ms Min!" A man in a red three piece suit, a black Montblanc resting in his pocket, a shiny Blancpain watch over his wrist and a pair of brown New Balance on his feet, greeted the three with a perfect professional yet fake smile.
One look at him and anyone could tell that he's drowned in luxury brands from his head to toe. Definitely from an elite circle.

Jihoon smirked, stepping forward and shook his hand with their escort for the day and greeted.
"Min Jihoon of Min covens! And you are!" He questioned the man.

The man brought kissed the back of his hand and smiled charmingly.
"Joshua Oswald is the name! And how about this gorgeous lady?"
Joshua smoothly flirted and turned his attention to YN who went stiff for a few seconds.

Namjoon immediately wrapped his arms around YN's waist, pulling her closer and smiled at him.
Nathaniel and Ashley Min! Nephew and daughter in-law of Min Covens......!" Namjoon swiftly lied through his teeth.

Joshua nodded in response and lead them to the auditorium.
"This is going to be the biggest race of the decade!

As y'all had your reservations made at the last minutes, we had to put a little bit of extra efforts for your bookings. But since the Min Clan is one of our top three investors, this is the least the Hearts can do!" Joshua bantered leading them to a private room.
The room looked basically like a small lounge.

The interior looked beautiful, all in black and blue. Divided into two parts and seperated by a soundproof dome like partition, glittering silver colour couch bed and the private bar. On one side of the room was the whole wall, was a theatre size LCD screen- playing the screensaver of Hearts.

"You didn't call any escorts?" Jihoon asked looking at the host with a suggestive smirk and the said man gave him a grin.
"The next door room has been prepared just the way you need, Mr Min! Shall I escort you there?"

Jihoon smirked and walked uncomfortably close to Namjoon and leaned in to whisper something in his ears but next moment the click of gun was heard and YN was holding a mini handgun right at Woozi's neck, perfectly over his adam's apple.

The three men had their mouths parted in shock and breath stuck in their chests.
Joshua took a stuttering breath in and spoke "Ms Ashley, you're not supposed to bring any sort of weapon in here!"

Namjoon's eyes widened in worry and he inhaled a sharp breathe. Softly wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he squeezed her sides in comfort. YN let out a small sigh and lowered the weapon.
She looked Woozi dead in his eyes and warned him.
"I don't care if you're your daddy's little 'get whatever I want' kind of rascal! You will be keeping a ten metre distance from my husband unless it's life and death situation.

Or next time I'll tie you up with Beomgyu and trust me on this one, that kid will show you the real meaning of a mob brat's life!" She turned her head towards Joshua and glared down at him.

"And you do not dare to teach me the rules. The next day to when I stepped in Italy, I brought around 38% shares of The Ruby Corp, AKA the Hearts as you dogs call it.

So get lost! Right Now........!" She spat out in his face and Joshua hurriedly walked out of the room embarrassed with Woozi following right after, throwing her a mad glare of a kid. He purposely stomped his legs as he left. As soon as he stepped away from the door, he suddenly screamed and Joshua flinched at his outburst. Never in his life was he scolded or threatened by anyone except for his dad, more like nagging but he didn't actually felt threatened. This is the first time.
A sudden small smile stretched out on his lips as a funny feeling rose in his chest.

As soon as the door shut close, YN stumbled on her feet and her husband was quick to hold her in his embrace. Namjoon felt her shivering and quickly led to the small fluffy bed.
He helped her drink some water and made her comfortably settle down and slipped right beside her after removing his shoes. YN rested her head on his sturdy broad chest and hummed in satisfaction.

"That boy surely has a knack for getting on your nerve Nuna!......" Namjoon spoke and threaded his fingers through her hair, caressing softly.
"No idea how Andrew and Mr Min keeps up with his tantrums!" YN spoke, yawning low-key.
"It's hard to grow up without a mother. But Nuna........." Namjoon stiffled his laugh and spoke.
"You're the first one to actually scold him. That kid never had been threatened by anyone else before you!"

"Shut up!" YN muttered and slapped his chest lightly.

Just then a timer began to countdown on the large screen.
"It's time!"
YN whispered and the two sat up straight. A soft music started playing and several names of corporate firms and MNCs popped up on the screen.
Namjoon's eyebrows twisted into a deep frown. "What kind of betting is actually going on here?" He asked confused.

YN softly rubbing the back of his hand and interwined their fingers together and gave him a quick peck on his lips. The man only licked his lips and again connected their lips in a hot smoldering kiss.
YN pulled him closer and let the man chew on her lips as she softly scratched his scalp and moaned at the feeling.
The kiss continued for a few good minutes.
The two pulled away and Namjoon planted a deep peck on the pulse on her neck.

"You're saying.........!" Namjoon asked in a deep hushed voice, sending a cold shiver down YN's spine.
She inhaled sharply and spoke.
"Hearts is basically a smuggling Corp. They are involved in and with all of the kind out there. But their highlights are bidding shares of successful companies or the ones with bright future ahead of them. They literally deal with the thugs of corporate world. People come here either to find investments, or to overthrow their competitors and takeover.

I need to take back my shares under Woozi's name which Claire's father and that woman took away from me in exchange of Raven's life!"

Namjoon gave her a warm smile and squeezed her hand in assurance.
"He's lucky to have you in his life. I was somewhat jelous of Raven hyung sometimes. But the truth is that I am glad you had him by your side. But Nuna......" His voice trailed of at the end.
YN hummed and kept her eyes on the screen.
She spoke without looking at him.
"But why did I never held that baby in my arms, did I?"
Namjoon mumbled a faint 'Yes'.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and YN looked down at her lap.
"I'm not fit to be a mother I guess. Only if I didn't try to die, the other twin must have been alive right now! That child wouldn't have been alone. Only if I............." She burst out into silent tears and started shaking.
"That man ruined our lives for his own sick satisfactions and couldn't stop any of it."

Namjoon pulled her into his arms and cradled her. He let her rant out her unspoken pain and secrets.

"Raven hyung told you that he's thankful and proud of you for letting him hold his own flesh, nuna! He's grateful that you are the one who brought his baby into this world. And the baby will one day surely know of how strong and courageous her mum has been.

And me too, nuna! I'm very proud of my wife......." Namjoon smiled and lightly pecked her forehead.
"Didn't you see how happy Raven hyung and Taehyungie were after meeting the baby. They both are going to be great parents. Time heals everything. And it will heal us too......"

"No!" YN spoke a little loud and the other slightly flinched.
"McTaggart is going to shed tears of blood. I'm not going to leave him alive. He's to die. He will die. I will make sure of it."

"And the shares of Fashion Globe is sold out for twenty billion dollars to Mr Jihoon Min of Min Covens!" The MC announced and the cheerful faces of Louis McTaggart, Aanya Prince and Laura Carson flashed on the bidders board for the few seconds. YN felt her whole body shaking in anger.

Those happy, celebrating face reminded her of the painful nights and nightmares from two years ago. She bit her bottom lip, making it bleed. Just then the camera focused on the her and Namjoon was quick to cover her his back and pulled her into a deep kiss, cupping her face and hiding her face from everyone watching them.

Aanya felt a little uncomfortable seeing the two kiss on the screen but since the man had turned his back on to the camera she was unable to recognise the pair. A nasty, cold feeling emerged in her belly but she shook her head and tried to focus on their big win of the year.

Now that they've successfully gotten rid of their past mistakes' traces, she was somewhat at ease.

"Bloody FAGGOT and that WHORE." Aanya scoffed reminiscing the two particular person from their past.
"Should have just let me fuck that boy. Naive little boy didn't even know I had been drugging him all those times!"

She grumbled and chugged down the rest of the alcohol from her glass, letting it burn her throat deliciously.

The three busied themselves with celebration of their successful bidding, unaware of the crawling enemies that are watching them quietly from the shadows.

"Too bad that she has to die!" Woozi exclaimed staring at Laura with disappointed eyes.
"Must say that she is definitely sexier than you! Do you really want her dead?" He asked turning his head towards YN as the three left the venue.

"Laura isn't someone you'd want around. She's more poisonous than any snake out there. I'd rather you kiss a black mamba!" YN muttered as they drove to their next destination,
The Monza circuit.
