Y/N

The sun's warmth shines through the windows of my office, casting a gentle glow on the room. The air is crisp and fresh, and there's a subtle sense of optimism in the atmosphere...its filled with a sense of normalcy. People went about their work, conversations echoed through the halls, and the usual humdrum of the workplace carried on as usual.I make way to my cabin, i felt a sense of relief, as if the events of the previous day had been nothing but a bad dream.

I walk through the hallway, everyone greeting with a smile, i return greetings with warm smile and friendly hellos.

I have a well-liked presence in this office, and people are glad to see me, It seemed as if everything is going to be a normal in this uneventful day.Word about the infamous Jeon seeking my aid has spread throughout the office, and everyone was curious about my thoughts on the matter.

"Morning, Y/N!" one of my co-workers calls , i smile at him "How's it going? You look like you slept well last night."

I roll my eyes and wave him off- i have works waiting for me—But fate had other plans, i open the door, my stomach churns-  A chill runs down my spine as i take the sight before-  my room is ruined—Hell.

My desk overturned, papers, files all burnt into ashes, they scattered everywhere, and my belongings tossed around carelessly. Torned.All my documents are ruined all over the floor, bookshelves upturned, and my favorite chair have a broken leg. I gulp- This usually neat, tidy space— now looks like a scene from crime drama.

I step inside, its like a nightmare, who did all of this? I've to check the CCTV—i freeze—that red file on the middle of my desk—untouched, amongst all the chaos and i know who did all of this.

The sight fills anger–disbelief. The rest of my documents, case studies, and important work are all destroyed, except for that one damn file!

My eyes fixed on the file that remains intact on my desk - the Red file. The file containing all of Jeon's criminal activities— *Ringgg* My phone breaks silence, i take a breath- "Calm down" i whisper under breath, steeling my nerves and pick the call "Hello"

"Morning princess-"

My heart sinks.

The familiar voice of echoes from other end, tone dripping with mockery and menace "Did you like my surprise?"

I grit my teeth- my blood boils.The silence between deafening, but Jeon doesn't seem phased by it— He chuckles coldly "Not in the mood for talking, huh?" He mocks "I don't blame you for that. Who would be after seeing their perfect little office turned upside down?" His voice drops "Hope you like my gift"

"YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHY YOU DID  THIS?"

A beat.

—"You got a mouth, princess" his voice cold cruel "i wonder why nobody else wants to take my case, hm. They can't handle that I play dirty, right?"

"You fucking—"

"Tsk tsk tsk"

I grip the phone tighter-

He pauses"You think you have the right to be angry after refusing me?" He voice low dangerous "You're in no position to be making decisions, princess. This just a gentle reminder of who you're crossing. If you want your pretty little life to stay intact? Then you better take my case, or elsc suffer the consequences"

My heart races- I grip my chair "Listen up you motherfucker, I-Im not gonna take your case- its full and final, Im not gonna work with a filthy criminal like you, I'm gonna leave my job stay in home rather than to take YOUR CASE"

The other end slience, I gulp-

Only deep breaths coming from the line- time stands still—

"Leaving your damn job?" Voice cold, dangerously calm "You think I'd fall for that bluff? You're too damn ambitious for that. Plus, you love your job, isn't it princess?" His tone mocking— cold.

My heart beating faster- he knows everything about me.

The line still silent-

Pause.

"I will find you" his voice low "I will make you suffer and you won't like what happens next"

My stomach churns, but i should stand still- "Oh really what you will do huh. Kill me? or sell me into those human trafficking shits that you have done with thousands of innocent lives. Huh?" I breath heavily.

There's pause on the other end.

Air thick tensed- his earlier words hang over you like a dark cloud– but still silence— i can hear beavy breaths heavily into the receiver, he clearly enraged.

"You're a damn mouthy, aren't you? Nobody's ever talked to me like that before" his voice amused "I'm a criminal, yes, but I have my limits. But let's just say you'll find out if you keep provoking"

I can't believe how he's still having the guts to answer back "You're a criminal,  i have read all the data okay. The things you have done its something i couldn't even say it. And now you want me to defend you to save your ass from law. I think you deserve to be in the custody"

"And I'm fully aware of who I am" his voice prideful "But I have done good too.You don't know a damn thing about me, As for deserving to be in custody, well, maybe I do. But even criminals have the right to a lawyer, don't they?"—    "Y/n"

I turn- Michael, my fiance, he entered in room! when did he came? He comes- wrap his arms around me from behind, that bloody criminal is still in line. I sigh in Michael's presence- its  soothing,  welcoming- a perfect distraction from the heated conversation i had with Jeon. Michael looks around my hell through room.

"Baby what happened here?"

"Sh shh-" i hush him. He frowns at me- my heart skips a beat. The scent him fills my nostrils, he pulls me closer "Aish—stop im on the phone right now" i whisper

Michael chuckles, obviously doesn't care about me being on the phone. He nuzzles his head in my hair "Sorry, love. Couldn't help it. You looked so deep into your work, I had to come say hi." he presses kiss to my shoulder.

I cleared my throat, that man is still on line  "Um Hello. Im sorry im busy right now"

"WHO'S THE—"I cut the call quickly and turn at him.

My room fills with an eerie silence once again, i lean against him comforting embrace.

"Was that your client?" He asks, curiously.

I nod slightly.I want my attention fully on him, but however, Jeon's threats echos my mind, Michael still wrap around me. I sigh- control my nerves "Sorry about that, babe. its just work stuff," i explain casually. But the dread in my heart continue thumping...
