Loveless
After I got back to the banquet hall I hadn't seen Melisa, she must have left after hearing my words. I became nervous every time I thought about meeting Hiro that way as well. What made my mind at ease was the thought that he wouldn't bother seeing me again. He was the one that let me go… he had no reason to suddenly trying to find me.
I kept scolding myself for feeling guilty, how could I call my actions cheating? We were no longer together, I had no obligations to him, I could do whatever I wanted to… Yet no matter how unreasonable my heart was, I kept lacking closure. Maybe, I would have been better if Hiro got mad after I told him it was over. His anger would have been so much better than that emotionless state he was in when I walked out the door…
“Ana… it's time to state the facts! Anger would have meant that he had feelings for you… He was cold because HE DIDN'T CARE!” my rational thoughts were more than cruel.

I somehow managed to finish eating despite meeting Kaisei's overpowering gaze. I felt feverish to the point I was using my hand as a fan whenever he wasn't looking, but I guess he noticed anyway…“How about… I will pour you another glass of wine and we will take a walk outside around my garden?” he snickered.“Great idea!” I agreed immediately, hoping that fresh air would help me cool off.We walked outside through the sliding balcony door. All parts of the garden were highlighted, creating a romantic atmosphere. Kaisei led me through the brightly illuminated hedge alleys holding my hand the entire time.“It's beautiful here,” I looked around, amazed.“You're the one beautiful…” he whispered leaning over my ear.“Did you really just used a cheap line like this?” I chuckled, teasing him.“It cannot be helped,” he grinned, “I really think
Embracing the Devil Change of heart?
It had been three days since I spend the night with Kaisei. I kept thinking of his confession and everything he said about his feelings… I began feeling guilty that my heart wasn't moved by his words. I couldn't feel any butterflies, I didn't shiver at the sound of his name. I simply… enjoyed him.“God… I'm turning into a cold bitch!” I whined hiding my face in the pillow.I was partially glad that Kaisei had to go back to Tokyo for a while, it gave me some time to put my emotions in order, but those few days didn't change anything at all. I only became more and more flustered, yet I felt that my heart was empty. I blamed Hiro for making me so broken that every time I tried filling my soul with any kind of sensation, it hurriedly drift away. The more I thought about it, the more I was certain that the only deep emotions within me were anger and despair. Each time I smiled, I felt something fake about my mimic muscles stretching…
Embracing the Devil Deceived
Kaisei walked in, and closed the door behind. My head started to spin and I couldn't breathe. Did he just called Hiro cousin? Was he aware that I was with Hiro when he approached me?!“Maybe, you don't know about it yet, but you are talking to MY current girlfriend, cousin,” Kaisei chuckled.I was unable to recognize him. I kept staring at him, and he was like a completely different person, some evil twin. Hiro let go of my hands and walked towards him with enraged expression.“I was just about to end this misunderstanding. It's time for you to go… if you want to stay alive that is,” Hiro hissed and kept moving forward like he was about to hit Kaisei.“Really? What gives you confidence, maybe I will be the one taking YOUR life,” Kaisei stepped closer to him with a provoking smirk.“No!” I instinctively got up from the sofa and rushed to stop the both of them.I used the second that they

I kept staring at Okada being absolutely petrified. I felt like my body was getting weaker and weaker.“W-what… do you mean…?” I muttered, trembling.“We would not risk killing your precious Hiro, it could be troublesome…” Okada smirked, “But there are still plenty people in TK Industries and Aurelius Book Publishing that you care about… am I right?”“I… I broke up with Hiro… and even before that he kept me away from any intel for a long time! I have no idea how could I get any information for you… I don't have an access…” I kept explaining feverishly.“Oh, but you are wrong!” he laughed, “You might have got rid of their equipment, laptop, phone et cetera, but you still have your level 5th clearance.”I looked at him confused. What could possibly be the reason to keep my access to the company?! I always thought that if peo
Embracing the Devil New kind of prison…
In the previous years I wished to travel through Asia… ironically now I was going around places due to being kidnapped! My dark sense of humor kept sending me thoughts of going sightseeing with those guys in black suits holding a gun against my head… That would be kind of interesting. Perhaps, I should be thankful that I wasn't physically or sexually abused this time… Of course, my ironic state of mind didn't prevent me from being petrified by fear.Me and my kidnappers were flying quite comfortably in a private jet. I wasn't tied nor gagged, furthermore I was conscious the whole time. They simply knew, I had zero chances to escape and stood no threat. I was being watched all the time, but none of my watchers even touched the strand of my hair. I figured they must have been told not to harm me in any way. Somehow, that only made me more anxious to know what was their reason to abduct me.I wondered if Hiro knew by then that I was kidnapped. Did he
Embracing the Devil The Game
For the next twelve hours I was treaded more like a guest than a prisoner. I was served dinner, I was allowed to take shower, and they even gave me something more comfortable to sleep. No one asked me to do anything… that made me anxious. I wondered if the special care they gave me was something like the final meal served to a prisoner right before a death sentence…After spending a nighttime struggling to make my eyes close, due to stress and jetlag, someone finally visited me… It was Okada and some other man that looked like a technician.“Good morning, Ms. Kowalsky. Did you sleep well?” he greeted me with a sarcastic smile.“Good morning, Mr. Okada… What do you think?” I replied, annoyed.“Truth telling, I don't care,” he chuckled then grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the desk, and forced me to sit on the chair placed right by it.The other man, who came with Okada, put a laptop a
Embracing the Devil Traitor
“What did he just said…?” I mumbled softly while my mind was crushing down.The air inside the room became suffocating. I wasn't able to take a single breath into my lungs. I couldn't understand what was happening. Did Aya truly gave them the intel they wanted, or were they playing with us?“No… no… I don't believe it… this cannot be true!” I muttered panicking.Suddenly someone opened the door to my room. Two men barged inside and dragged me out of there.“Where are you taking me?!” I screamed stumbling through the corridor, trying to keep their pace.None of them answered, they were like robots blindly following given orders. They took me to some other wing of the mansion and then I was thrown into a round room with no furniture inside. There was a large window on one side which almost filled the entire wall. There were three doors leading to that room. The one I went through was opp
Embracing the Devil Disclosure
Hiro took me to his apartment in Tokyo's residential district. My mind was blank the entire time we were driving there. He probably asked me how I feel once, I couldn't remember if I replied or not. When we entered, he showed me a bedroom and informed me that I should sleep there, and he would sleep on the sofa in the salon. After that he went to the bathroom to take a shower leaving me alone…I looked around. It felt like déjà vu. I couldn't stand him treating me like this coldly, indifferently. I wanted to run away from this place, from Hiro, from everything. It was unfair… I literally gave up on my life, I risked everything because I was unable to betray him, but ironically none of my words were believable enough for him. I couldn't explain my behavior even in front of myself, it was irrational. I guessed, I didn't kill all the love for him inside me yet, but seeing how I was unworthy of his trust could help finally end this process.I sa
