4 Chapter 4 (1/2)

*Fast Forward Two Years*

It's been almost half an hour that I'm here, staring at his beautiful sleeping face. I know he's not sleeping, he never sleeps. But I don't care, I can't help but admire the man I've grown to love so much despite everything and everyone.

Who would've thought the man I hated so much once was going to be my most precious person?

My hand slowly reaches for his face and before I can even feel his soft cheek, his eyes are open. Staring right at me.

I slowly smile, this situation happens too many times a day: when I admire him and he fakes to not notice.

My heart skips a beat when I see this same devilish smirk that made me fall so hard for this man, and I lean forward.

”You look so innocent when you sleep” I say while slowly getting closer.

He takes my hand in his and leads it to his lips, his other hand on my thigh.

”I never sleep.” He says.

I know, Oh God like hell I know. He said it way too many times. But I will never get enough of this, ever. I can feel the heat gathering in my cheeks while he kisses my hand without ever leaving my gaze.

”I know.” I say

”Come here.”

Next thing I know, his lips are locked on mine. He rolls me around and I'm under him. Never leaving my lips, I feel his heated hands running down my thigh. And then it happens, I remember how I grew to love this man so much.

”But I can't really control someone breaking in my apartment and burning the place down can I?!” I scream while Yui is standing on the bed watching me argue over and over with my boss.

I expected this old grumpy man to not believe what happened to be true but who cares? I just realized I was done and tired of this job anyway. The pay was barely worth the stress and everybody in the industry looks down on us because of the low class company it is anyway.

”FINE THEN! BUT IF ANY OF YOU CRAZY FUCKS TRY TO TAKE ANY OF MY STORIES I PROMISE YOU I WILL SUE”

Yui watches the fight with an amused face. It's been like that for the last few days. I get mad over the slightest thing and I strike right back if I'm being provoked.

I hang up and throw my phone on the bed.

”Lemme guess? You're fired?”

I turn quickly, my face red as hell.

”I QUIT! I QUIT!”

She gets up and hugs me before laughing.

”Calm downnnn. I already talked about it with father anyway, he's going to give your record to the executive who was asking about you last time. You're leaving for a better company and a better pay.”

I pat her back and the frown on my face disappears quickly.

”I can't begin to say how thankful I am to have you.”

”Oh don't even start.” She says before taking a step back.

”So I'm going to work, but if you need anything you can just ask Momo-San, she takes care of the house and it's guests too”

I laugh.

”Okay but when are coming back?” Not liking the idea of staying alone in this big house all day. Her parents are basically never home on week days.

”Well I have a lot of work right now, the law firm has been very busy these days with some Yakuzas that are getting accused of-

”Yakuzas?” I'm not really surprised actually, Yui's law firm is one of the best ones out there and their lawyers never lose a case when they defend their clients. Most of the yakuzas that pay for lawyers there pay excessive amount of money to make sure they have no chance of being jailed

She starts putting her heels on.

”Yeah, these last few days there has been two different clans competing recklessly with each other. I mean you're the journalist here right? You didn't hear about it?”

I roll my eyes.

”I'm not a fucking journalist...”

”Well anyways, I think it's the Kobayashi Clan against the Edo clan. There has been some back and forth between the two in the last 2 days. The Edo clan has been going around trying to destroy all the properties that belonged to the Kobayashis. And just know how pissed they are... there has been some violence in Shinjuku and tons of minions have been arrested... amongst them, one is the boss I think, and he's the one who's paying nearly 15 million yen on his case.”

”Guilty much.”

”I don't see no innocent individual spend that kind of money if they know they are.” She smiles.

”So most of them are just from Edo then?”

”Hummm, well there are some from the Kobayashi clan who are going to court. But the weird thing is, they don't even bother. They came on the second day with their left hand's pinky all chopped.”

”That means their boss is definitely not paying any money to get them out of there. That's the ritual for a great offense.”

She looks at me a bit shocked.

”That's really scary... anyways, so I'll be seeing you later then! Gotta go get some money!”

And she disappears behind the door.

I let out a big sigh and go by the terrace of our room. This house is just so comfy, I feel at home but I really don't know how long it is going to last.

I decided to track Reo Kobayashi down and ruin him. It's still fresh in my mind. But when you wanna go after the current God of the Japanese Mafia you have to get ready to sacrifice everything. I'll have to put some distance between Yui and I eventually, to not get her involved.

As my eyes follow the car leaving, I quickly take out my phone.

”Yeah”

”Where can I meet you?” I ask.

”The usual spot baby.” He chuckles.

”I can't believe you're really doing this.” He adds.

”I am. I'm not scared of him. He ruined my life, don't even think I would let him off.”

”As you please baby. I'll see you around.”

”Give me 20 minutes.”

I hang up and reach for my bag and jacket. I look at myself in the mirror. I look okay. A hat to hide my face, big black shades, a brown sweater and my hair in a messy bun. At least like this I won't draw much attention.

As I'm discretely walking out, in the hall Momo-San curiously stares at me.

”Is there a problem Kubo-San?” She asks with a sweet smile.
