VENGEANCE ||M.YG||

Maeve POV
'Near the bar area on the bar counter, sipping red wine'. I looked towards the bar counter area and saw a man sitting on one of the stools while his back was facing me

'What should I do?', I questioned. I didn't understand how was I supposed to approach him without having a bad image of mine in his mind

'Just accidentally spill any random drink on his clothes and some how start a conversation', Yoongi scolded me angrily

I hesitated but seeing Yoongi stare at me as if he was shooting draggers into my brain. I took a hold of my drink and walked towards the man with a rapidly beating heart

I tripped and fell over him while the cup I was holding got emptied as the drink had spilled all over the man

"O-Oh I-I am soo sorry", I acted like I was panicking but in fact, I was actually panicking. Because in this business meeting, there are many mafias and gang leaders who wouldn't hesitate to blow my head within a second without thinking twice. And what if this man infront of me is one of them

"No, it's totally fine, no need to worry", he said. I lifted my head to have a look at the man infront of me. The moment I layed my eyes on him, I was shocked

"J-Jackson?". He looked up and had the same expression as me. "Scarlett"

He immediately took me in his embrace. I also hugged him back and controlled the happy tears that were threatening to fall over my cheeks

I looked over his shoulder to see that Yoongi was intensely staring at the whole scene. I gave him a nod to give him a signal that the plan was working

We pulled out from the hug and Jackson looked at me lovingly. He pulled me with him by gripping my hand and dragged me to another place

We stopped once we reached the rooftop. The view of Seoul in a dark night was mesmerizing. The city lights glowed in the dark and the tall skyscrapers shined with a bright light

I unknowingly let out a "Wow". I walked towards the soft situated near the railing. The place beside me sunk and I knew that Jackson had took a seat beside me

I turned towards him, now being face-to-face with each other. "Why did you pull me here?", I asked

Jackson inhaled deeply and started speaking

"Where have you been all this while?, Do you have a idea of how madly I was looking for you when you suddenly disappeared. I was worried sick thinking about all the possible things that could have happened to you"

He was about to continue but I cut him in the middle to calm him. I help his shoulders and said. "Calm down Jackson, nothing has happened to me. Look I am all fine"

I stood up and turned around three sixty, to show him that I was completely fine. But am I really fine?

I sat down on the same spot where I was previously sitting. The worried expression on Jackson's face still remained the same

"Oh come on! You shouldn't be worried anymore. I am infront of you now, what can possibly go wrong then?"

He let out a tired sign. "I saw Yoongi glaring at you earlier. And that's what worries me". Jackson looked away

My blood ran cold as my nervousness began to build up

'What if he already knows that I and Yoongi are planning upon killing him?'

"I don't want him to hurt you in any possible way". Jackson lowered his head. "just like how he hurted Emilia, I don't want to lose you the same way"

He mumbled, but I was able to hear some of the words. I quickly snapped. "What has happened to Emilia?", I exclaimed

I stood up and continued. "She was your responsibility after I handed her over to you after I left". I couldn't control the tears that were building up inside my eyes and let them stream down my face like waterfall

He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at the ground, and this was annoying me. I grabbed his collar and brought his face closer to mine. I screamed on his face

"F*CKING REPLY TO ME, ANSWER MY D*MN QUESTION JACKSON WANG". I breathed heavily and let go of his collar. I lifelessly falled onto the sofa as I saw the world infront of me collapse

She was my everything, my only family. The only one who I cared for the most. And now, god had snatched her away from me, how selfish

Jackson, who was quite all this time, finally spoke. "You're right, I am useless, I couldn't protect her. I should have hold her more securely but I let her slip away

Load sobs reached my ears, as I turned to look at Jackson who was now breaking down. Seeing this my heart shattered into pieces

I reached out and took him in my embrace while he cried on my chest. I patted his back to calm him down and a few minutes later, he stopped crying

He stopped holding me and sat facing me with red bloodshot eyes and a red runny nose

I wiped his tears with my hands and handed him a kerchief to wipe his nose

He looked at me. "I am really sorry Scarlett, I really am. I should have died instead of her-". His voice was cracked while saying those words

I immediately stopped him and put my index finger on his lips to quite him down. "Shuu don't say that Jackson, don't"

He didn't say anything after that. I slided and sat close to him. I looked at the view infront and kept Jackson's head on my shoulder

"Now explain me everything that happened while I was away", I calmly and carefully spoke out the words

He then began speaking while I listened carefully. "What happened was-"
