Chapter 356 - USING FORCE (1/2)

After Akira left Kaito, she drove back to the Yamazaki house.

She felt angry and embarrassed for making a fool of herself. She should never have let her guard down just because she was in Mountain Ridge. She could not understand what had come over her after she met him.  ​​

In one moment, she was cool and calm, and in the next, she had become a wreck. She lost herself in a fantasy, and it only took one thing to make her break down.

As she parked the car outside the Yamazaki house, she wiped the tears on her face. She checked her face in the mirror and found that her nose was red, and her eyes and lips were swollen.

She looked like a complete mess.

After doing what she could to fix her appearance, she took a deep breath and walked to the house.

Her parents would probably ask about her appearance, but she had an excuse ready. She had received news about a friend being in hospital and needed to leave Mountain Ridge for a few days. She practised the excuse in her mind.

As long as she could say it well, she would not face more obstacles. After all, all she needed was to enter the house, pick up a couple of things and get out.

Her nervousness about facing her parents made her uncomfortable.

When she moved to the city, she planned to sate her curiosity about her blood relatives before returning to her life. She liked the freedom of doing anything she wanted without careful planning and thinking about others.

However, things had changed after she made a real connection with her biological mother, father and brother. She felt like she needed to always spare a thought for their feelings.

Her heart ached at the thought of him.

She wondered if she had kicked him too hard. Even though she had held back, the injuries could be serious.

She shook her head.

Why should she be worried about him? He probably had a harem of beauties to take care of him. She was probably just a temporary plaything for him.

As she approached the door, she found the main butler standing at the door. She did not know if she was imagining it, but he seemed to be looking at her with mockery and derision.

”Miss Akira, let us escort you to the old house to see the Old Master and Old Madam.” He said with a strange smile.

Two men in security guard uniforms stepped from behind him. They looked at her sternly as if they intended to manhandle her if she did not comply.

”Where are my parents?” She asked.

”You will see Mr and Mrs Yamazaki at the old house. Please do not waste any more time. Let's go.” The butler shed pretences of being polite.

”So, they are not around. That's good.” Akira sighed in relief.

She did not want to explain her blotchy face or the classic car she stole from Kaito. She just wanted to leave Mountain Ridge for a while to gather her thoughts and power up. She needed a break.
