75 Pleading (2/2)

”Please no violence,” Kiba waved his hand in a light manner,”I had promised my lover to only resort to love and peace.”

BANG~

”Arghhhhh!”Daniel's expression was of extreme horror as he found his claw busted apart. The floor was filled with blood and gore.

”Daniel!” Sarah regained her senses and dashed towards her husband.

Kiba took a seat on a sofa nearby. The table in front of him was filled with various brands of whiskey and cigars.

”You have got some good taste,” Kiba made a drink for himself ignoring the look of shock on the couple's face.

”I am fine,” Daniel said as his claw regenerated back.

”I am sorry,” Sarah wiped the sweat from her husband's face.

”No, the fault is mine. I should have told you everything when he called me days ago,” Daniel explained to her the conversation he had with Kiba days ago.

Sarah was terrified by the details.

”See how good my service is?” Kiba took a sip from the glass before continuing,”You two were arguing before but now you have turned into a close couple. Having a third person in a relationship is always beneficial.”

”You ruined us just because of that news?” Sarah gritted her teeth in anger and annoyance.

”Ruined? That's a heavy word. ” Kiba lighted a cigar before him and said, ”I made you two closer than ever so you should thank me. Besides what we had was consensual.”

Sarah and Daniel's faces were unsightly.

”Even if not for the news, I would have tried to court a lovely lady like you given your beauty,”Kiba has a smile in his face as he continued, ”But my methods would have been different. You two wouldn't be in your current situation if that happened”

”You..”

”Now let me come to the next part of 'just because',” Kiba's eyes turned cold as he gazed at them, ”You are saying like the news had no negative consequences.”

”Why should it affect you? You are a womanizer!” Sarah knew his history with women. She never thought he would take the news so seriously that he will want to ruin them.

He was fucking Meghan after the news came out so how could any negativity affect him?! Everyone in the city knew his history!

”It affected me more then I could ever imagine,” Kiba smoked in a puff of cigar before continuing, ”You used me to harm someone I care about.”

”Could it be...?” Sarah thought of Agatha.

”You pretty much know how judgemental our society is but yet you didn't care in airing the news,” Kiba said in a cold voice.

”You are crazy! People see news about affairs every day! There was no harm in it!” Sarah couldn't understand what was so bad in the news.

Sure it resulted in some bad publicity but that could do no harm. Besides Agatha and Kiba had an affair so they have no right to complain.

”Is that so?” Kiba opened his cell phone and swiped a panel on the screen towards tv,”Then this should do no harm as well. So can I publish it?”

The tv showed a news clip:” Breaking News! Socialite Sarah, the wife of SBC News' owner Daniel, had an affair with Kiba! As per sources Kiba and Sarah bonded in a 5-star hotel!”

There were images of Sarah and Kiba having a conversation on a beach.

”No!” Sarah and Daniel screamed in unison.

”It is yet to be published so save the reactions for later,” Kiba closed his cell phone and then asked,”Surely this little piece of news could do no harm.”

Sarah's face turned white. She could imagine herself becoming a subject of gossip all around.

Everyone including people she never knows would call her a whore. She could think how jarring remarks will come, not only at her but her children as well.

Daniel was horrified as well. He could imagine people sympathizing in open while laughing at him from behind.

Scandals and affairs are common so they don't have that much negative effect when discussed in close circles. On the other hand, if a scandal is turned into a news item then it is a totally different matter.It is like becoming a prime focus of everyone in society.

Sarah and Daniel dreaded the consequences they would face if the news was out.

”Why such reactions?” Kiba feigned a questioning expression as he continued,”I could let your channel run this exclusive news if you want.”

”Please no!” Sarah begged. She knew it better than anyone how people enjoyed gossips about rich and famous people.

”Why not? Imagine the TRP ratings and the money you will earn from the sponsors!”Kiba kindly pointed out all the advantages of such news for their channel,” SBC News could rule the media space in the city for a long while.”

Every word hurt Daniel and Sarah in their hearts.

”Just the previous news brought you so much praise. Imagine the effect this time! You two would roll in money!” Kiba patiently explained,” Most importantly you wouldn't have to retract the news, unlike previous time! You would even have exclusive interviews of all the involved parties!”

”Don't ruin our life, please. I am begging you,” Sarah's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't wish to become a hot topic in society.

”I don't understand your behavior,” Kiba crouched in front of her and said, ”Didn't you say the news is harmless? Heck, you are even benefitting from it, unlike Agatha.”

Sarah's expression turned ugly.

”Please...I have two children,” She pleaded in a sincere voice.

Daniel also begged for he knew Kiba also has a recording of the conversation between him and Slyvian. He never thought a single news could turn his life into hell.

Kiba was unwavered by their claims.He opened his cell phone and said, ”I just have to click a panel and you two will become eternally famous.”

”I am sorry for what I have done... please don't punish me in this way,” Sarah caught his legs as she pleaded.

Kiba's finger arrived on the 'send' panel for he wasn't affected by their begging.But then suddenly a sigh resounded inside the room.

”That's enough for a punishment,”A feminine voice said with a sigh, ”Don't ruin their lives further.”

Kiba was startled by the familiar voice.He turned his face back and saw a woman behind.

”Agatha?! How...”
