"You understand what that means right?" Soohyun asked.
"I do! It only means that I can't rely on Council to protect Lisa. Not especially after other people find out that 'Pranpriya' is the heiress of the enemies. Though she is powerless right now, she still has a huge advantage being the only blood related daughter of Manoban family. So, other people in council's board would not approve helping me to protect her" Jungkook told.
This is one of the reason why he is so worried.
As it is Lisa in Pranpriya's body, people would only think that she is 'Pranpriya' and their target might shift to her.
"You got it, Kook. Moreover, once other Council people finds out about real origin of their 'second in the command' who is none other than your fiancée, they will surely reject her from continuing in council. In turn they might even go against her." Soohyun told.
"Hmm….it is one of the main reason I am worried and Pranpriya told me today that it was the reason she kept her distance from all of us, all these years. She didn't wanted to aggravate the rivalry. We all knows how white shadows organization has been targeting council ruthlessly from years, and trying to stab us using inhumane methods. They will definitely not agree to help someone who is actually related to blood with our enemies" Jungkook sighed.
"I am worried, brother in law. Though I am first in command, the council board has other people who are still trying to snatch away my position and I don't want this to implicate Lisa. If something goes wrong, Lisa might not only face White shadows organization but also the wrath of council" Jungkook sighed.
His family is the most powerful in council and they almost had seventy percent of power, but others are no ordinary to look down at. Moreover, council is linked with country's government and military. He can't just use his power to do something for which they might not approve. After all, it is his who loves his Lisa, not others! They only care for greater good and peace.
So, Jungkook has to be careful with them as well.
"That's right, Jungkook. Our family will always support you no matter what. But, when it comes to others we must be careful. Have any plans for that, already?? We must act fast" Soohyun asked.
"The clock might be ticking already, who knows?"
"I actually have one. But I wanted to make sure that I am not doing anything wrong by taking this decision. I want your advice" Jungkook told.
"Go on"
"I want to take my position in country X underworld. Brother Jaehyun has always helped me in that matter to hide my identity as the Jeon. But if I take my position, people will get to know that I am the real king of the underworld but not brother Jaehyun. This will lead them to find out about my identity as the hidden son of Jeon" Jungkook told.
His identity was always mysterious in every way because no one knows that Jeon's has the real heir who has been groomed to become next successor of Jeon's empire.
Everyone knows only Jaehyun as Jeon who is actually not interested in all these stuff. He in fact carried this burden on his shoulders all these years before Jungkook stepped in.
Jungkook was born very late and his mother's identity has always been mysterious. Not everyone knows that his father is married and actually have three kids. Some even don't know that he is alive!
This made them come to the conclusion that Jeon's don't have a potential candidate to rule their kingdom in underworld. They don't even know that Jeon's are part of council.
If other people from previous rivalries find out about this, they will get to know that they are tricked by Jungkook's father all again. And this would not only target Jungkook but also his siblings who are his father's only weaknesses.
And, his siblings has children who are still small. This might keep them in danger!
Jungkook initially didn't want to risk his niece and nephew's lives just because of his selfishness to protect his Lali.
Soohyun who heard this shook his head, chuckling little.
"If you don't remember, I did the same thing to protect your sister from your uncle. Moreover, if something bad happens we will face it together just like how we did it back then. Your idea is really the only thing that makes sense to me, Jungkook. You must take ascend your throne and protect your woman. That's what a protective husband does! Don't think about everything else right now, especially when we don't know how and when Lisa will get into danger" Soohyun told.
By now, white shadows team would have already got the wind of this news that 'Pranpriya' is alive. And, by how Pranpriya described Minho, he would surely come after her.
"Thanks, brother in law. I will do as you suggested" Jungkook said.
"I will be going back then. Otherwise, your sister might wake up and ask what happened. I want her to enjoy this short vacation without any worries" Soohyun told.
Jungkook smiled and hummed in response. "I will be going too. I should wake up Lali for dinner" he said and ended the call after bidding goodbye to each other.
Jungkook went to kitchen and then placed everything on dining table before making another call.
This time it is his cousin brother Jaehyun. Jaehyun has always wanted Jasper to take back his position because he is now into politics with his uncle (Jungkook's brother).
As he wanted to play it fair, he didn't wanted to use his power in underworld in government matters. However, Jungkook was always busy and moreover forcing him into doing this would keep Jungkook Jieun and Jackson into danger.
Explaining everything to Jaehyun, Jungkook told him what he wanted to do and Jaehyun of course happily agreed.
This means he will get to spend more time with hid wife and three little princesses.
"We will hold a meeting at the end of this month and I will hand everything over to you Jungkook. But before this you must complete your unfinished business with Oh Sehun and his mistress. As Pranpriya told you how Sehun will be the key to get closer to Minho, you must take action according into it" Jaehyun explained.
"I understand brother. After taking over I must be back to country X and if I have to do this I should not leave any loose ends in here. I will talk to Eve and others and then take a decision" Jungkook explained.
Looking at the clock on the wall, Jasper noticed that it is already quarter nine. He must wake up Lisa and make her eat something.
"Hmm….I will be going now then. Your sister in law and niece are going shopping and I was forced to become their driver" Jaehyun pouted, making Jungkook laugh.
Though this men are very formidable and powerful persons they always give priority to their family.
Jungkook couldn't help but think about his own family. How good will it be if he and Lali will have their own children who will be as smart as his Lali and as charming as himself.
"Why are you smiling? This is the first time I was seeing you smiling this day" a sleepy voice came from the door.
Jungkook looked at his girl who is standing at the threshold of his study room, donned in her night robe. She was looking all cute and adorable that Jungkook felt to pinch her cheek and devour her lips.
"It's nothing baby. I had conversation with brother and brother in law just now and I still couldn't help but wonder how smitten they both are to their wife's and how much they love their little kids. I am thinking how-" Jungkook stopped in middle realizing that he was about to voice out his thoughts.
Lisa could tell what he is thinking and she smiled. Sitting on his lap with her legs straddling on either sides of him, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Meanwhile, she hugged his body tighter to her and placed her head on his shoulder, with her lips skimming on his neck. "You are thinking what?" she asked, seeing his face which is glowing little red.
"Nothing baby." Jungkook lied and placed a kiss on her temple.
"Don't lie! Weren't you thinking about how our family will be, after we get married? You are an open book to me Jungkook" Lisa said as she caressed his cheek.
"I was actually thinking of it, Lali. But I do know that this is not the right time to have kids" Jungkook told placing a kiss on her forehead.
Lisa chuckled and buried her face under his chin. "But, we can marry you know" she seductively whispered.
