Chapter 349 - A SICK HAPPINESS (1/2)

Kaito looked at the dissatisfied and defiant but still adorable face before him.

When he decided to come to Mountain Ridge to look into her life, he thought she was just an amusing target to break the monotony of his life.  ​​

However, from that moment he faced her in Moonpoint, he discovered she would never be a simple mystery to him.

He did not know what it was about her that made him unable to treat her like he would any other target or person that roused his interest.

He could not figure it out.

Perhaps, it was those intelligent, large eyes that looked at him with a hint of challenge. Or maybe, it was the look on her face that said she was resisting his provocation, even when she wanted to beat him up. Or even, her beauty that perfectly incorporated tough and soft…

He did not know.

But he knew she was his.

He would not let his little prey escape from him.

”I won't warn you about strange men again.” His lips stretched into an amused smile.

Akira felt a little disappointed. She did not want to think deeply about the reason for that dissatisfaction. She should be happy that he was not poking his nose into her business anymore.

Kaito looked at her and held the arms of the chair on which she was sitting, preventing her from backing away from her on the small wheels. He leaned closer to her, allowing his unique sweet and cool scent to suffuse her senses.

Akira's heart beat a little faster as he drew closer to her face.

She felt her body become hotter at what was coming. He was going to kiss her, and this time, she was aware of his intentions. The last time in the garden, it was merely a few bites of her lips to punish her.

But this time… She licked her lips nervously.

Instead, he leaned to her ear, his breath washing over the delicate shell of her ear.

”Next time,” he whispered. ”I will directly eliminate the strange men so that they will not appear before you again.”

With that, he straightened his back and began looking at the room as if he had not made a shattering statement.

Akira's heart beat even faster at the declaration, and a sick kind of happiness filled her heart.

Yes, it was sick.

She was supposed to be a guardian of global justice. However, when a dangerous ȧssassin threatened to kill men who came near her, she felt happy.
