Jaemin’s POV

It’s just two A.M. and my phone is already buzzing nonstop.

It better not be Choyeon, she keeps failing at everything I ask her to do, and yet she won’t stop asking me for money.

I groan and turn to my side, the alpha I spent the night with is still in bed with me, naked and asleep.

Usually my manager comes in to kick them out before morning, but I let him stay, I like this one.

"Jaemin...your phone" he complains and I reach for it, ready to cuss out the person calling, but as I stare at the screen, all my blood turns to ice.

It’s lord Kang.

"Get out" I say to the man and he blinks in confusion, "but..."

"Get out" I say through clenched teeth and deep voice, reminding him that I am the man with the power here.

He’s just a paid prostitute.

"Wow, you’re really as rude as the haters says, I can’t believe I was ever a fan" he says with disappointment in his tone and I watch him till he leaves with his clothes.

I don’t care about his affection, there are thousands of other fans that worship me, I am still Roh Jaemin.

I finally accept the call with my body tense.

"It took you long enough, Jaemin" the old man says curtly, he doesn’t sound like he usually does.

And the fact that I don’t hear his smile scares me more than anything.

"I was asleep" I say and he scoffs.

"I hope you had a good sleep, because that will be the last rest you will have for days to come" he says and I frown.

"I’ve done everything you want, I made my group’s merch to be a system of drug transportation for you, I took Sooin to you when you asked me to, and I stay quiet, what more do you want?" I ask with irritation.

"It’s beyond me, dear fox" he snarls and Taesan’s image comes to mind.

Taesan is the only thing beyond grandfather Kang.

Unfortunately, Taesan doesn’t know it yet...and it works in my favor.

The less he knows, the more I get out of this...deal.

"What do you mean it’s beyond you?" I ask quietly, feeling the silk of robe on my body slide off my shoulder.

"He knows about Sooin" he says and my mouth drops open.

"No" I whisper in pure terror.

I haven’t been this scared in a long time, the first time was when my sister’s heart stopped for some seconds, and the second time was when I walked out on Taesan.

I thought he would kill me back then, but he didn’t touch me, didn’t come after me, he just focused on the pup.

"Well he knows now" grandfather says and I slap my hand over my mouth.

"He’s not supposed to know" I say, scurrying to my feet, letting the robe fall off my body completely.

"He does now, Jaemin" the bastard old man that put me in this mess says, "what are you going to do?" he asks.

What am I going to do?

Throwback.

I get out of the bed naked and annoyed.

This is our second year together and I keep missing my goal and target; ’get pregnant for my grandson and I’ll change your life’.

The old man said it like it would be the easiest thing, but it’s turning into the hardest task I’ve ever taken in my life.

Kang Taesan is a hard man to find, he’s even a harder man to get into your bed.

And when he’s in your bed, he never gets lost in passion.

We enjoy sex, he dominants me and fucks like a beast, but he never makes the mistake of cumming inside.

And even if he does, he’s cumming into a condom, and when he’s done, he wipes me down.

I go to his wardrobe and shrug on my shirt, it’s a green one he made for me a while back.

"Where are you going?" the alpha asks with a cigarette between his lips.

He’s sprawled out on his bed, strong thighs spread apart like they’re inviting me back, and his cock lies against his hips, flaccid but thick.

"I need to see my sister, I just remembered she wanted me to come" I say and he eyeballs me slowly.

Always skeptical and guarded, he sits up.

"I’ll drive you" he says and I give him my best seductive smile.

The alpha smiles back at me, getting out of the bed and coming to me.

"You take care of me so well alpha" I purr as he grabs my waist, pulling me closer, till my chest and his are pressed together.

I’m a tall man, but he’s an even taller man, very big and strong. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"I’ll dress up and take you" he says and I nod, still wearing a fake swooning smile.

I’m supposed to make him fall in love, get pregnant for him, and then leave him vulnerable enough for grandfather to play with.

I’ve made him fall for me, but for goddess sake, he won’t let me carry his seed or take his knot.

He drives me to my sister’s house, and the moment he leaves, I call a taxi and go to grandfather Kang’s antiquity shop.

The front he uses to cover up for his life as the underworld Lord.

"My favorite siren!" the old man Kang says loudly as he sees me, and I walk towards him with a deep scowl.

"You gave me an impossible mission" I growl at him and his lips stretch into a smile like he has a plan.

"My time is wasting and I’m sick of this" I complain impatiently and he sighs, slowly shaking his head.

"Now now, don’t be impatient, I have a good plan" he gestures for me to sit and I do.

My eyes drop to his lion head cane, and I look away. The sculpture is too well made, it’s disturbing to look at.

"Now, tell me what the problem is" he keeps smiling at me as he says those words.

"Taesan won’t lose guard in any way, I’ve never seen a man as guarded as he is, it’s getting frustrating" I say, reminding myself to respect the old man with my tone.

As much as I hate him, he’s still my only hope.

Aside failing, I’m already tired of this mess already; that alpha keeps missing his dead mother, keeps losing control and keeps murdering people...I wonder when he’ll murder me too.

"You will play the role of a surrogate mother" grandfather Kang says and I frown.

"What?"

"There’s a particular...genetics, I am willing to steal, and then you can be its surrogate mother, tell Taesan it’s his...he loves you enough to accept it"

"Taesan will never believe" I laugh awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable at the suggestion.

"He will, he’s his mother’s son, a soft fool" the man assures me and my eyes dart to the window.

If this works, I’ll be a millionaire, my sister’s medication will be settled forever, and I’ll become the idol I’ve always dreamed to be.

I’ll be rich and won’t have any baggages since the child won’t be mine...I’ll do it.

"And if he finds out our scheme?" I ask.

"Start finding out what you’ll do by then, Jaemin, but for now...relax" the old man’s smile widens.

Present.

"What are you going to do, Jaemin?" Lord Kang asks and I draw a ragged breath in, smelling the lingering scent of sex in the air.

"I’ll hit him before he hits me" I say in panic.
