"Happy Birthday!"
You heard him say before popping the champagne.
[A/N: Or Orange juice]
The smile on your face wasn't legit or genuine. It is called a seriously fake one.
Why?
Because you were on a yacht with a man who has spilled the blood of innocent people
"Y/N?"
He wasn't someone to joke with. A man with anger and would do anything to get what he wants.
"Y/N?"
From the very moment he saw you, doom had walked into your life. If only you were obedient, none of these would have happened.
"Y/N!?!?"
"UH?"
"What are you thinking?"
"Um…em.. I"
"Lost in your thoughts again?"
"No… I'm just in the mood of eating something really crunchy" you said trying to deviate from the annoying subject.
"Crunchy?"
"Yes…"
When speaking, you couldn't look him in those bloodshot eyes.
After a long silence, he finally said something.
"Okay, but just drink this and when we get back to the mansion, you can eat whatever you like"
"Thank you Vernado."
As he poured the champagne into the glasses, you weren't sure if it would be okay to drink something super expensive, neither would you trust it.
But you however took the glass to hide your plan.
"A toast to you, my beautiful darling"
"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" You allowed the words to leave your mouth awkwardly. Why must he say that?
Time for the plan.
"VERNADO! LOOK IT'S A RARE FIREFLY!"
"Uh?"
Immediately he turned back to see this 'Firefly', you threw away the champagne into the water. Luckily, you weren't far from the edge, so the mission was accomplished.
"Where?"
"Oh it was just the trick of the light" you smiled, dropping an empty glass on the really expensive table.
"You never seem to amuse me Y/N-"
Vernado looked at you, only to see you asleep on the comfortable sofa.
"Y/N!!!!" His thick loud voice brought you back from Dreamland.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! WTF!" You screamed as the sleep totally disappeared because you fell from the soft sofa.
"Don't sleep now? Are you a chicken?"
"A chicken?"
"Yes! How can you be sleeping by 8pm?"
"That's because I haven't slept Throughout Today" You muttered.
"I know you haven't slept Throughout today," he said, making your jaws drop. How on Earth did he hear your mutterings?. "But at least stay awake for the surprise"
"Okay?" You said as he sat close to you, blocking your personal breathing space.

You finally stepped out of the yacht with wobbling legs, enough for you to fall.
"Don't fall on your birthday" The wicked man (Vernado) said as he helped you steady your balance.
"I'm alright" You smiled though your heart aches badly and the curses hanging in your throat were uncountable. You wanted to break this relationship as soon as possible.
Entering into the mansion, your jaws dropped immediately as you saw different Crime Lords chatting and drinking.
"NO!" Turning around to leave, Vernado pushed you in.
"DON'T!" He only said that word.
"But there are different Crime Lords here and and and-"
Placing a finger on your lip, Vernado gave you a lovely smile before saying with a loud voice.
"DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, MEET MY FIANCÉE."
"WHAT!" You choked on the word he had just said.
The entire mansion was filled with different Happy faces. Especially the women. This made you wish the ground would open up and swallow you.
You wanted to break up with him, not marry him.
"Vernado?" You slowly called but what you saw made your soul escape through your dropped jaw.
He went on one knee and brought out a small box.
'Noooooooo'
"Y/N, will you marry me?"
"Uh?" You trembled before this sight.
1 This man is a murderer.
2. He is heartless and suddenly becomes lovely.
3. You couldn't say no.
4. Why?....
5. Because there are different Mafia bosses waiting eagerly for your answer
6. You have a plan.
7. Accept it now and reject it later.
8. Then you wait for the consequences.
"Vernado" You close your eyes, remembering a beautiful past with you and your family. This memory triggered a tears. Just what you needed.
Your watery eyes made a woman smile. A deadly woman who works with the Russian Don.
"OF COURSE I'LL MARRY YOU!"
"FINALLY!" The Russian Don said popping a champagne, expensive enough to buy your school a hundred times.
You lowered your eyes as he placed the engagement ring through your finger.
As we all know, EXPENSIVE.
A gold band ring with a precious stone ain't no joke.
The smile on Vernado's face made you shiver and shake. This guy is a monster.
"Congratulations darling" The Asian Don's wife said, actually saving you from a kiss.
"Thank you Lady Gu"
"Oh darling, we can work together and increase the steady rate of the drugs, uh?"
"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Your bad attitude of dragging the word came back. "Anyways, I'm sleepy, so I'll talk to you later Lady Gu"
"Sure darling"
You smiled before zooming up the stairs with the Russian Don staring at you.

It was time.
You slowly walked towards Vernado's office with your heart beating in a different tone.
The door wasn't locked or guarded, so you easily pushed it open.
Looking inside of the really large dark office, you saw Vernado standing, facing the glass window, seeing the beautiful view of the city.
Walking inside, you saw something that almost made you change your mind.
Dead Bodies.
There were Dead bodies scattered on the tiles with fresh blood spilled everywhere.
Swallowing your fear and walking towards Vernado, you saw blood dripping from his fingers and a cigarette in his other hand.
The room smelled good, even with the smoke leaving his mouth.
"VERNADO"
Instead of answering, he looked at you and smiled.
"I want to talk to you"
"Sure my darling. Sorry for the scene," He said casually, wiping his hands with a plain white light cloth. After doing so, he dropped this on one of the dead man's body, "Anyways, come seat with me"
"Erm no. I think you should sit down and hear me out, Please" You summoned all the courage in your heart to say this.
"Okay?" Curious by what you want to say, Vernado obediently sat down, drinking a wine you never knew was there.
Taking in a deep breath, you said the words out loud, "I WANT TO BREAK UP"
Vernado spat the wine as he shut his eyes, not knowing what he heard was true.
"YOU SAID?"
"I WANT TO BREAK UP!"
"Babe, why?"
For him to call you that, your doom danced around.
"Because I want to…"
"Why?," His voice was genuinely sad and you saw his face said so as well.
Standing up, he walked towards you with his hands holding yours, "If I did anything wrong I can change, I promise! Just please don't break up with me. You have the engagement ring on, I promise to wed you, please just don't-"
"This isn't who you truly are! You are a monster! A murderer!. If only I obeyed my parents I wouldn't be here today. I don't want to marry a bloody murderer. Please try to understand! You are a man who looks out for me, always cares but I'm just 20, I haven't finished uni and I don't want to be involved in criminal activities, please!." You said as Vernado remained quiet.
Removing the ring, you dropped it on the table, "I'm sorry but it can't work."
Throughout, Vernado didn't say a word and didn't make a movement as you walked away towards the door, thinking a bullet would drive through your head.
But, what happened next was worse than a bullet.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST RUN OFF LIKE THAT? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST BREAK UP WITH ME? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST LEAVE FREELY AFTER SAYING ALL THAT?" The coldness in Vernado's voice made the room temperature drop drastically.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN LEAVE AFTER STEALING MY HEART? A DEMON'S STONE HEART?."
You instantly knew why he hasn't shown his true character.
Whispering into your ears, he again said, "I'M ARAGON AND YOU ARE MY OBSESSION."
