"Go take your shower. We need to rest." Once he lights the cigarette, I leave the room and walk into the bathroom instead. I'm sick and tired of listening to men who use me like nothing. Although Jungkook complimented me just then, it doesn't mean it wasn't a backward compliment.

From now on, I'm not taking orders from anyone else. I'll do the missions, and I'll earn my place rightfully at the warehouse, but from this moment forward, if I decide to remain in this type of world of crime, then I'm going to choose my own actions.

If I'm going to restart my life away from my father, then I'm not going to find someone else to replace him. I had enough of my father praising me, then turning around to tell me what a fuck up I am. I'm sick of it.

I shut the door to the bathroom and turn the knob to the cool side. I'll become stone cold, just like every man in the world. I've had mommy issues, and daddy issues, too, but I will not start having my own issues. I'm going to stop this before it goes any further than it already has. I'm going to backtrack and let everyone know I won't be the same anymore. I'm never going to be used as someone's ploy again.

My father used me, and I'll be damned if this cycle repeats itself. I'm more than just a slave who listens and obeys; I'm a beautiful woman who deserves every right like the men who walk proudly amongst the streets in this hellish city. From now on, I won't lower my head and obey. No, I'll raise my head like I own a crown, and I won't obey anyone except for myself.

So the next time any man, my father, Ghost, or Jungkook thinks they have something over me because they were born with a dick, then I'll gladly remind them of what they came out of and how to show respect to the women that walk amongst them instead.

I'm done playing the nice girl. I'm ready for my mission, and I won't hesitate to do it this time.

Stripping from my clothes, I step into the freezing shower, letting the coldness toughen me up. Considering I'm not at home any longer, I'll have to start pulling my weight in a different living style.

I have to change to fit into Jungkook's world, but as I mentioned, he won't be the one pulling the strings over me—no one will.

Letting the cold water run over my body, I let myself relax and wash up before time to go.

The alarm clock goes off on the nightstand, and my eyes shoot open. I hear rustling on the other bed, then the alarm sound silences. I raise up and turn around, reading the red number on the clock. It reads 2:00 am.

With everything that happened earlier, I'm still surprised I managed to obtain some sleep after his insult. However, I forced myself to focus on what needed to be done and not dwell on the past.

I'm still pissed, but I won't think about it every second.

Climbing out of bed, I rub my tired eyes until my vision comes together.

"They're already set up. We should get going." He comments from behind me while I hear the sound of a zipper.

Groaning inwardly, I stand on my feet and grab my shoes. Stepping into them, I go into the bathroom and splash cool water on my face to help wake me up even more.

"You ready?" I hear Jungkook's voice. When I raise up from wiping my face on a clean towel, I watch him stand in the doorway to the bathroom, covered in black clothing while surveying me with those dark, murderous eyes of his.

"I've been ready." I toss the towel on the counter and walk past him without a care in the world.

Grabbing the black duffle bag by the door, I wait outside in the hallway for him.

I'll show him how wrong he is. After tonight, he won't ever pull a stunt like that with me again.

Coming out of the room and locking the door, he holds another black duffle bag.

"Stick to me and be quiet." He whispers, rounding the corner of the hallway where we walk into the elevator together.

I press the ground floor once we're inside. I don't say anything, staying quiet and sticking to him as he asked. I'll do the missions, but when I get back to the warehouse, I won't have anything else to do with him.

It's only when the elevator doors open on the ground floor that he starts glancing at me. We walk out of the elevators when he starts speaking. "I hope you don't chicken out once we make it there. I won't hesitate to leave you if the cops come. I saved you once, and I won't do it again."

I stop walking, causing him to turn back to me confused. "Worry about yourself, Jungkook, and I'll worry about me. Trust me, after this mission is over, I'll keep my distance." I move around him, not waiting for him to catch up.

Walking outside on the streets, I see a van parked near the building, and when the door slides open, I see Jimin motioning for me to come over. A gesture I'm welcoming at this point.

I climb into the van, seeing a few people I know and also don't. They're wearing an earpiece and watching tv screens that show active camera footage.

"Are you ready for your first mission, Vee?" Jimin smiles with a tad of excitement in his tone. He comes closer, moving my hair behind my ear while placing an earpiece into it. "You'll be able to hear us. We'll communicate through this if anything happens. Anyway, I hope you're not nervous." He admits.

"I'm kind of excited. It's a first for me." I smile while ignoring when Jungkook opens the door and climbs inside.

Jimin hands Jungkook his earpiece, and then Jungkook nods. "Let's go over the plan, and we'll head out. I know someone here needs to prove herself for this mission. Hopefully, she'll have the guts to go through with it."

Jungkook doesn't need to say a name for everyone to know he's talking about me. If he thinks I'm scared or don't have the guts to do it, he's mistaken because what he doesn't know is that I've been ready to do this ever since the moment he doubted me.
