That person removed the work but still hasn't apologised. I don't want to be all high and mighty and ask for an apology to belittle that person. It's just that when you do something wrong, then you must apologise.
I already said that I won't hold any grudges towards that person even if we have talked before. I am an open minded person and I don't take these things to heart. And it's not like I would disclose your identity.
It really made me happy to know that you guys understand me💓💓I love you all!
And lastly I asked for 40+ votes in previous update and I got 49. Now I want to try and ask for 50+ votes. Can I get these votes??❤️❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍

"What do you think you're doing?"

Jungkook lazily got off Meera and straightened his clothes while the girl moved back to avoid all sorts of physical contact with any of the men present in the room. It was then her eyes trailed to the new person in the room. An audible gasp left her lips as her eyes widened a little.

"Kim Taehyung."

It was barely a whisper but it managed to bring a visible smirk on the said man's face. He dangerously stepped towards the girl while she hid behind Jungkook. Sure she didn't trust Jungkook but the look in his eyes made her feel a little secured. He could have done something to her but he didn't. He waited for her approval. And the way Taehyung looked at her, it was deadly and mysterious. She didn't know what he was thinking or what he was capable of. He always had that dark aura around him which scared her the most. Taehyung eyed Jungkook which forced the younger to leave the room reluctantly. Jungkook cursed when he walked past his hyung out of the room.

"I thought that you would have figured it by now." His voice went octave lower as he brought his hand up to lightly graze his lip with the thumb. Meera's eyes shook in fear. An unknown chill ran up her spine when he darkly chuckled at her scared form. "What do you want?" Another whisper left her lips. Her trembling body continued to step back till her back touched the wall while Taehyung stood still in his place. His eyes were enough to control people around him.

"You know why you're here so just cooperate and it will be just fine. Your father agreed to it. So just stay here peacefully and we will let you go once Daniel agrees too. Okay?"

"You don't trust Jungkook?" Meera said softly, indirectly pointing at their poor tricks to claim the championship title. Taehyung simply scoffed at her question.

"Miss Meera, you have no idea on how the real world works. I guess you've lived a fairy tale life till now that's why you're so clueless about the reality that you're supposed to live in." His heavy and deep voice added an intensity to the statement. And the fact that he was dressed in all black made his presence more intimidating.

"Mr Taehyung, you have no right to comment on my lifestyle. And for your information, I do know about the cruelties of this world. My life is not a fairy tale as you say." She said with the left over confidence.

"Then you must realise that we could have tied you up and caged in you a dark room with mannerless guards who would either pass some inappropriate comments at you or try to take an advantage of your vulnerable state. Or worse, we could use you for our entertainment and physical pleasure only to sell you off to some old guy in return for a huge some of money. And it's not like your Prince Charming could do something to us."

"Mr Tae-"

"But no Miss Meera, you are here in one of our best guest rooms and will be fed with a luxurious dinner in a few minutes. Not only this, we even informed your parents about your whereabouts so they don't worry about you. If things seem to go our way, we'll let you talk to your father tomorrow. Is this cruel?"

Meera was speechless. She couldn't go against him since he was right, to a major extent. They were treating her well, so far nothing happened to her and to her knowledge, her parents are aware about her condition. But she still wasn't fully convinced with his justification. No matter how rightly they did their dirty work, it was still wrong.

"Black can never be white Mr Taehyung."

A loud knock interrupted their argument. As said, a woman dressed in black and white, probably a maid, entered the room with a double tier cart. "Miss, you must be hungry. I didn't know your favourites so I just cooked some sea food. I hope you enjoy the dinner. Let me know if you want to eat something else."

Meera looked at the cart filled with luxurious food items. She was rich too but her family had a simple lifestyle as they were simple minded people.

"Enjoy your dinner Miss Meera. I'll come tomorrow morning." Taehyung said and left the room in a hurry. Meera didn't pay any attention to the man who just left. Instead she thanked the lady who brought food and just took a few shrimps for her dinner. With some side dishes of course. But she couldn't even swallow a bite without knowing what state Daniel was in.

Daniel, I hope you're okay.

"Daniel! Calm down!"

Dongho raised his voice at the boy who has been punching the wall for the last thirty minutes. Daniel lost his mind the moment he received a call from Namjoon informing him about Meera's abduction.

"How dare he?!" Daniel hardly punched the wall with his bloody knuckles. Droplets of blood trickled down his knuckles mixing with his sweat. Loud painful groans emitted form his lips but he didn't stop. He was angry beyond anyone's imagination. Donmills decided to stay away for the time being knowing that the boy wouldn't listen to anyone as of the moment. Other fighters pitied him. They all felt bad for him. They have seen how much he loved his girlfriend and to know that she has been abducted came as a shock to them too.

He continued to punch the life out of the lifeless wall till he had no strength left. Tiredly he fell down on his knees and covered his face to hide his tears. Even though he was sweating, his tears shined like crystal among them. His shoulders moved as he cried loudly. He was devastated. He needed that money.. not only to pay off the loan but to save the training place. It was illegal to use that place without any proper documentation and Donmills was supposed to pay a huge amount to the Government as penalty. He needed to buy the place too. The price money was big enough for all their needs.

"What should I do now?" He hopelessly asked no one in particular. Jaebum held his shoulder reassuringly. "Let's talk about it properly." Donmills, the older fighters and Daniel were present in a small cabin like room to sort out the matter. "What did he say?"

Daniel took a deep breath before replying. "He wants me to lose to Jungkook and that I have to give a good fight to make it look real." His voice sounded dead which troubled Dongho the most. "What if you don't agree to it?" Jaebum asked to know the consequences. There was a long pause which made everyone look at the guy in curiosity.

"I didn't dare to know hyung. He might do something to her."

"Good morning Miss." The same maid opened the curtains of the room. The bright sunlight hit Meera'a face as she reluctantly woke up to welcome the new morning. "Good morning." She replied in her sore morning voice. Then suddenly her stomach rumbled loudly which caused the maid to chuckle.

"That's what happens when you don't eat." The maid said before keeping some clothes on the bed. "Have a bath. And I'll bring your breakfast." She gave the girl a bright smile before leaving the room. The said maid walked through the hallways to only get scared by certain someone's presence.

"Did she like the dress?"

"I am sorry master Jungkook but she just woke up. You can see for yourself once she is fully dressed." She replied with a motherly tone. She was the only person that Jungkook trusted with his life.

"I have to go for practice. The match is tonight." Disappointment was evident in his tone which saddened the old lady. "I'll let you know later. Don't worry and focus on your practice. Cheer up!"

He then showed his rare bunny smile. 🐰

Meera slipped out of her school clothes and took a warm shower. She thought that it would wash away her worries but it didn't. It only reminded her of Daniel. She kept thinking about their last meeting which was nothing but a fight because of her desperation. I am so stupid. She hit her head against the shower wall. After the shower, she wrapped herself with a towel and saw the dress which the maid got for her. It was a beige dress with light embroidery on its shoulders and waistline. Her fingers grazed the soft fabric in awe. It was indeed a beautiful dress.

Should I really wear this dress?

It was beautiful and she wanted to wear it but the thought that these people kidnapped her and actually asked Daniel to lose the fight made her stop on her tracks. She felt a pang of guilt in her chest as she continued to adore the dress. She knew that Daniel would be devastated after knowing about her kidnapping. And here she was admiring the dress given by her kidnappers, wanting to wear it.

She shook her head rapidly to get rid of all the thoughts and grabbed her school dress. Once she got ready, she head out for breakfast. Her stomach growled in hunger but she didn't feel like eating anything. Her body wanted food but the moment she took a bite of a club sandwich, a wave of uneasiness swept over her.

"Miss? Is something wrong?" The maid asked with worry. "I just don't feel like eating anything. I miss my parents." I miss Daniel.

"Do you want me to get something else for you Miss?" Meera politely shook her head. "Thank you but I really don't-"

"Just get some French toast for her with a glass of litchi juice."

Taehyung came into the room with his phone in his hands as he typed something on the device. After he kept his phone inside, he turned to the girl and raised an eyebrow at her. "Is the menu fine for you Miss Meera?"

She nodded and bowed at the lady as she left. Taehyung then took a step forward while maintaining his poker face. "I will let you talk to you father after you eat." Hearing this Meera's eyes lit up. She agreed to it and patiently waited for the maid to come. She sat on the couch near the closed balcony. Taehyung quietly sat next to her.

"What did Daniel say?" She asked softly.

"I don't know. Namjoon hyung is handling that stuff. I am only supposed to look after you." He replied straightforwardly. The maid then came with the new breakfast. Meera took the first bite and it was good. She softly 'yummed' at the taste. It even had pepper in it. Within a few minutes she ate the entire thing and burped lightly. Embarrassed, she immediately apologised and looked away as her face started to resemble a tomato. But nothing changed the man's poker face. He kept looking straight at the garden through the glass balcony doors.

After he realised that the girl was done eating her breakfast, he took out his phone to contact Mr Suri.

"Papa!"

"Meera! Are you alright?! Did they do something to you?!" Mr Suri was dead worried. His wife asked for the phone to talk to their daughter but he showed her his index finger indicating a minute.

"Papa I'm alright." She teared up a little when she heard the hoarse voice of her mother in the background. "Tell mumma that I'm fine." Mr Suri then gave the phone to his wife who asked the same questions. They talked for a few more minutes before hanging up. She handed the device back to Taehyung.

"Just rest. The battle is tonight. If Daniel loses, you're free to go." He was about to leave when the girl stopped him. "What if he doesn't?" He darkly chuckled before looking at her with his evil eyes, suddenly dropping the temperature in the room.

"Trust me Miss Meera, you don't want to know."
.
.

"The plan will work."

"No! I don't want to risk her life!"

Shownu came up with a plan to rescue Meera where Daniel wouldn't have to lose but it was risky. Namjoon was more skilled and experienced than they thought and to outsmart him was pure stupidity.

Daniel slammed his hands on the table to catch everyone's attention. "No one will do anything! I will lose the match like they want that's all! I'll arrange money some other way." He harshly grabbed his small bag and left for the match. The atmosphere was tensed and cloudy. It was a simple plan and with proper execution they could accomplish it. But now they were all hesitant since Daniel asked them to stay away. And it was risky.

"Now what?" Dongho asked as they all looked at each other. They talked through their eyes and nodded in confirmation.

Will they risk everything and follow the plan? Or just let Daniel lose the match?

A/n: the reason I take time to update this fic is because I rewrite the chapter a lot. First I write something and then I remove it. Usually I have the rough draft ready in three days...then I edit it. A lot! I remove some scenes then add new ones till I'm satisfied.

I just want to give a good update.💞
