Taeyong's POV.

"So you're telling me that you were here to hurt her then get information from her? " I asked sarcastically.

"y-yes" he stuttered.

This scumbag here said he came to hurt my Jia and get information about us. But that's not what I think. Whoever sent him is a bigger douche since he thought he could con me.

"you fvcking hurt her" I said through gritted teeth. He looked so scared in front of me.

"I-I didn't-- she s-shoot m-me"
I glanced at the broken vase at the living room. I looked at his bleeding leg. She indeed shoot him, but she didn't kill him. Jia is that type of shooter who always aim for the target's head, but she just shoot him in the leg.

"who sent you" I asked.

He coughed and spit out blood. This fvcker is staining my tiles with his filthy blood. Fvcking bastard. I look down at him, waiting for an answer.
But he remained silent, hitting my nerves more. I hit him again in the jaw and then kicked his stomach hard. I grabbed him by his collar and I noticed something on his shirt. The top button was open and it looked different from the rest of the buttons. It's not evident from afar but it's really different if you look at it in a close distance. I bend down to look at it better.

A camera.

Oh shit. I knew it, this was never about hurting Jia. It was actually a brilliant plan. This is a fvcking set-up.
No one knows I'm keeping a woman inside this mansion. They're  watching everything right now!
I have put Jia and everyone in danger.
I punched the man real hard and took the small camera then crashed it on the floor. I ordered Jaehyun to kill him and rushed upstairs in my room.

Jia is still sleeping. She fainted a while ago. She was trembling in fear and I got so worried. I didn't know what to do to help her. I'm useless.

I kneeled beside the bed. I reached out for her hand and held it. Even here you're not safe anymore. I'm sorry Jia. I put her soft hand on my cheeks. This is not what I have promised when I told you I'll protect you.

"Taeyong?" her soft voice rang. She propped herself on her elbow and tried to get up. I helped her and sat on the mattress, facing her.

"A-are you hurt? I'm sorry---"

"No no I'm... I'm fine now. Don't worry" she assured, even forcing a faint smile.

"please tell me what happened" I said. She nodded and started narrating what actually happened.

I knew it. They ordered that bastard to try and steal out the files. Indeed pathetic to think we'll keep it somewhere they can just access. But that's not the only agenda, they sent him as a puppet along with that camera to see what's going on inside my security. "Is Haechan okay now? How is he?" she asked worriedly.

"He's already awake. He's fine don't worry. He only got a little scratch"
I assured. She let out a breath of relief.

"w-where's the man anyway? I'm sure he's up to something. Not only stealing. He's heading straight upstairs seems like he's going to get something he already know where it is being located" I couldn't possibly tell her he's dead by now right? I also don't want her to know that my real deal is now starting. I'm a hundred percent sure she'll beg me to tag her along again. "Taeyong?"

"look Jia, there are things I can't tell you yet. Let me fix things up first hmm? I'll tell you everything I promise" her expression softened.
"please bear with me. All I need is your trust." Now that he already saw how things are going inside my security, he'll do everything to hit on my weakness.
