Chapter 22

Namjoon POV

I opened my door to find my manager standing outside. He seemed anxious and pissed off. He wasn't a guy who gets angry easily, if he was , he would have lost his mind in this industry.

" What did you do????" He practically yelled to my face.

He was yelling. This is bad. Something terrible must have happened. He wouldn't yell for no reason.

" What are you talking about ?" I asked obviously oblivious to what was happening.

" Is she in there right now?" He asked pointing at my door.

" Who?" For a moment I didn't know who he was referring to, but after some thought I knew who he was talking about but I didn't want to assume .

" That black girl you have been sleeping with!!" He spat

" Why are you asking?" My jaw clenched in annoyance.

" Namjoon, do you know what we found this morning , a picture of the two of you kissing" he said helplessly

" This morning ? What time is it?"

" It's noon right now...that is not the point. The point is she paid someone to take pictures of the two of you " he explained

" What?" My jaw dropped

" Yes, we have the culprit right now. You can come and question her,"

He knew I wouldn't believe it if there was no proof.

I didn't wait for further explanation. I needed to know the truth. I thought Avah would never do such a thing. Everything in me wanted to defend her so badly but I had to listen to the evidence they found and then make my own judgement. We walked downstairs to a small room where they were holding a girl hostage.

The room was filled with our bodyguards and the rest of the managers. So everyone knew huh. A minute later the members came in. They must have been informed by the managers.

" Hyung are you alright?" Asked the ever sweet Jungkook.

" I'm fine" I growled.

" Tell me everything" I growled at the girl awaiting her judgement.

" Miss Avah approached me a few days ago and asked me to take pictures of the two of you together. She wanted to use the pictures to force you to be in a relationship with her long term. She knew her vacation was coming to an end so she was short on time and had to do it before then. She approached me with a large sum of money that I couldn't refuse" she said

" What is your name?" I asked

" Dawn"

" Dawn, how much did she offer to pay you?" I asked her

" A thousand dollars" she answered swiftly without hesitation.

" Was she targeting me?" I asked. Out of all the questions being asked today , this was the most important one.

" Not necessarily you. Her target was all of you. Any one of you would have fallen for her. Unfortunately you happened to be the one caught in this trap"

Her words felt like a knife cutting through my skin. How could she say all this? Was she paid to start a smear campaign on Avah. No ...I couldn't believe her so easily. Anyone can easily be turned into the bad guy if there is doubt.

" Why should I believe you?"

" Yesterday, that meeting was to determine whether you had fallen for her. The guy they were with, his name is Dani. He is her boyfriend " she continued

Hearing his name broke my heart. My ears started to ring as I looked at this Dawn woman. She was speaking the truth. She wasn't lying. I had hoped that she was lying but she wasn't.

" I can show you my bank statement if you don't believe me" she insisted

She pulled her phone out and opened her account. She showed me the thousand dollars transferred to her account. That was the nail to my coffin. She was telling the truth. My legs couldn't hold me up anymore as I fell on the floor .

I was played. She played with me. She had no intention of being with me. My heart was cracking into pieces by pieces. What should I do ? Where should I begin? This was too cruel of fate for me. What did I ever do to deserve this? I.... I.

" What should we do about her?" Suga asked

" First delete all the pictures on your phone and on iCloud. If we find out you have retained any of them we will sue you. Do you understand?" One of the managers ordered

" Yes sir"

They watched her delete everything . All the evidence she had obtained from us. I felt so dumb. How did I trust her so easily? I had myself to blame

" You can keep the money" I said " after all you did your job"

" Thank you sir" was her response. What was there to thank me for?

They have broken my trust. I wanted to let Avah in. She felt like the person for me. The person meant for me. She certainly felt like it every time we were together. I had a feeling she was the one for me . Turns out I was wrong. I was so wrong that I almost ruined my life for a girl. A girl who played with my emotions and my feelings.

" I will talk to her" I decided

" Namjoon, no, don't talk to her"

" I have to"

" Then go with the older members for support "

" I don't need the support. I will go alone " I decided.

I was furious at myself and even more at her. She played with the wrong person. She won't get away with it.

The only time I feel pain is when I'm feeling love.
