"Emperorrr!!!" Those words shocked her, stunned her more than the blow struck by his hand. It sent reverberations into her soul, shaking her to the core.Her eyes watered as she placed her hand softly on the red,blazing mark on her cheek.She couldn't fathom what's happening for a moment as looking around in confusion before settling her gaze upon him

"Ungrateful ! You brought shame upon me ! Upon joseon kingdom..! You have been choreographing everything behind my back, haven't you ? Dreaming you can live with that womanizer Chenyeol happily"

"Emperor! What are you ....?"

Chaeyoung became speechless in that very moment. The expression on his face terrified her. Never before had no one looked at her in that manner.Each of Jungkook's words was like a needle piercing her soul. Her heart broke into pieces hearing his grave allegations against her.Part of her wanted to shout out that she can never betray him, but the other part of her was too terrified to say a word. Too scared to know he is thinking too much low on her.Too frightened to know why he was looking at her like that.

Chaeyoung stammered as he spoke in a sorrowful tone “Please don't hate me. I-I can’t bear it.Look into my eyes.Can't you see love in it.How can I possibly betray you when I love you more than my life ?" said mustering her whole courage with shaking body stepped close to him trying to hold his hand

"Back off !!" Jungkook said in a tone so deathly quiet that it chilled her to the marrow.The vein on his temple throbbed. He bodily moved out of her reach

“Do not touch me wench. Not if you want to survive the next few minutes in one piece.I feel nothing but disgust for you now.And don't try to fool me with your words.You were never a wife to me and so can have no claims on me. I had never considered you as my wife.You and I were never liked each other.Above all you have been using my magnanimity !.I had warned Namjoon about you long before.He believed in you and that one mistake cost his life.I am not going to repeat that same mistake.”

The sheer loathing in his voice hurted her.Never before had he spoken to her thus. Never had he looked at her with such vile menace. Never had he said such harsh things to her.

"Please stop it! Chenyeol made me unconscious that night and kidnapped me.You are accusing me wrongly" chaeyoung stood staring at Jungkook with wide, startled eyes, her face creased in pain. Her’s plea went unheard and he retorted violently

"I don't believe you.I still remember you saying you are in love with king Chenyeol.Don't think you can fool me because I know you have been senting letter to him all the time. There is little point in denying it now,” sniffed Jungkook

Every muscle in Jungkook's face was clenched tight. His features blurred before her as chaeyoung tear drops streamed from eyes. She couldn't register in her mind what Jungkook said.His loathing words hurted her self respect, her love and her devotion.Though in her heart she’d known it was unlikely, she’d had a hope that Jungkook will figure out about her innocence because she knew he was a person who always think two times before determining a person as culprit.But now he is refusing see her truth on account of hatred over her.And did he hinted some bad happened to Namjoon because of her ? She stood on shaking legs and tried to put a hand to his arm again, but he knocked her arm away so hard she cried out and stumbled back.
