Crimson Ties: The Mafia Bride [18+]

Twenty Three

Am I turning into one of those guys now? Y/n was in her room getting dressed for today's interview while I was in the living room trying to sleep for a bit. "Hey," I heard a faint voice say. I opened my eyes Y/n standing in front of me, "You ready to go?" She looks stunning in her outfit.

"Yeah... What up with the outfit?" She narrowed her eyes at me, "I mean I like it looks great on you. But I've never seen you wear that... or anything that isn't the color black." She rolled her eyes ."Taehyung told me to try and wear something that matches so we can look like a matching couple... If you don't like it I can change." She was about to leave I quickly grabbed her arm. "It looks great, you don't need to change."

"Good... let's go or we're gonna be late." she walked over to the door. "Um... so about last night..." She paused for a moment and turn to face me. "Listen about last night... Can we just pretend like nothing happened? I wasn't in the right mindset or headspace at that time. I was under so much stress an-" I cut her off, "I understand, don't worry about it. Plus..." I lend in closer to her, "I like that little feisty side of you." She tried to slap me but I grabbed her hand and kissed it. Her face turned red making me smile. "Alright let's go we're gonna be late." I opened the door and lightly pushed her out.

My driver took us to the interview. On our way there I couldn't stop thinking about what she said. I'll respect her decision but... I can't forget about it that easily. Does she want me to forget about the actual first kiss we had or what she told me about her father? "Hey, you okay?" Her voice broke my thought, I looked at her. Her experience softened as she took her hand in mine, "Yeah I'm fine... Just zoned out that's all." I slowly removed my hand from hers.

It felt weird seeing this side of her. Since the day we met, she was cold towards me and now she's softened up a bit. "Y/n, why are-"

"Big brother and young miss we're here." My driver spoke I got out of the car and helped her out. "What were you gonna say?"

"Never mind. It was nothing." we made our way inside and were greeted by the host and staff. The interview was pretty boring. Afterward we were invited for dinner... I kept feeling like someone was watching us as we ate. I pushed the feeling aside and tried to enjoy the rest of our night together.

My driver picked us up, "Young miss you had a meeting today with a member of your clan. Are you still attending?" I looked at her, she sighed; her expression changed, "Yes, take us there." He nodded and started driving to the location.

"So... Two days have passed. Have you all made your decision?" My men also attended the meeting in case things were to get out of control with Y/n's clan. "We don't agree with you being our leader." Someone shouted within the crowd of men. Y/n adjusted the sleeve of her shirt pulling it up. "Seol Kyu, thank you for voicing your opinion. Do the rest of you agree with him, please raise your hands." A few men raised their hands. "Step forward and stand in a line. The rest of you that didn't raise your hands can step back and stand beside the Renaudin clan." They did as she stated, the room now became even more tense.

"So neither of you care for your lives... or even your family's life for that matter. The Beaugendre clan contract states that once you leave, your life will be taken. You all remember that don't you? You took that oath before joining." It was dead silent. "Seol Kyu, I never liked you and you never liked me, in fact, you tried to kill me and I still kept you here... isn't that correct?" He just nodded.

-TW: Mention of dead bodies, mass shooting-

Y/n got closer to him and with a swift movement knocked him down to the ground. He tried to get up to fight her but she pinned him down placing her foot on his throat/neck, "Now, here's the deal." She looked at the crowd of men before her, "My father has given me the okay to kill those of you who are against me being a leader and against this dumb-ass marriage contract. He sees those of you who do not agree as obstacles that are in our way." My men started surrounding the group of men that didn't agree. "Today was your last chance to change your mind. It's still the same group of people like last time..." She looked down and Seol Kyu and stomped on his throat, He started coughing blood.

"None of you will be missed." She looked at me, I gave the single to my men, and shots were fired.

I looked at y/n she had her eyes closed and a tear slid down her face. She was breathing heavily and wiped away the tear before looking at me. "Do they know how to get rid of them?" She pointed at the dead bodies. "Yeah, they do."

"Okay." Y/n cleared her throat, "Those of you in the Beaugendre Clan that have made the correct decision and accept these new Terms and conditions. Thank you for remaining loyal." She bowed at her clan and they did the same. I singled my head bodyguard and instructed him to dispose of the bodies.

-End of TW-

After that we went home, it was silent throughout the car ride. "I'm- I'll meet you inside, y/n. I need to go somewhere." I watched y/n get inside the apartment complex and into the elevator. I walked back inside the car and gave my driver a location to go to.

After an hour or so I made it home, "I hope she likes these." I know nothing about her but I wanted to get her something nice. I bought some chocolates, wine, and a stuffed animal...

this feels more like a valentine's gift than anything...

Maybe I overdid it.

"Y/n are you here?" I knocked on her bedroom door. No answer the lights of her bedroom were on, "Y/n?" I slowly opened the door she wasn't in her bed, she might be in the bathroom.

I made my way towards the bathroom door, before I could even knock the door swag open; I was pushed against the wall with a knife now on my neck. I reacted blindly and pushed them away taking the knife from their hands, pushing them against my body in a choke hold position and placing the knife on their neck. When I had finally realized it was already to late it was y/n who tried to attack me, I loosened my grip "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, princess." She took a deep breath, in the heat of the moment I guess she thought I was an intruder and reacted to the sound around her.

She looked at me and was flustered, I didn't notice it until now but she was naked, She was wearing a robe but it must of came on undone during our berfie fight. I ran out of the room closing the door behind trying to process what just happened, I heard muffled screaming coming from y/n's room. I smiled to myself as I walked into my room and made sure to lock the door in case she comes to kill me in the middle of the night.
