2021-02-16 22:43:20Tom rushed towards the reception pulling my hand, I had a hard time keeping his pace wearing heels. After he exchanged few sentences with a receptionist we walked away from the reception with a hotel keycard and he led me towards the elevators. He played with my hand the entire time stroking the inner side of my palm and caressing each of my fingers.
My hearted pounded erratically and my whole body became more and more sensitive to his touch. While we were inside of the elevator his eyes were slowly devouring me piece by piece, I was at the edge of losing control.
He opened the door of the apartment and let me enter first. I walked inside with my heart pounding, nervously swaying on my suddenly weakened legs. He turned all the lights on. The room was incredibly elegant and spacious, with a corridor leading to a large bed surrounded by wall-size windows.
As soon as the door he took off his suit jacket then threw away his tie. He rushed my way looking at me with f

Embracing the Devil Our morning…
My whole body was worn out… I felt that getting up would be challenging. Only that I wasn't worried about it at all, wasn't worried about anything, all I could do was to smile to my own thoughts, and feel foolishly overjoyed. I couldn't help it, I gave myself a privilege to escape from everything that could destroy my blissful mood.Half of my body along with my head was still lying on Hiro's chest, the other half was glued to his arm. I kept drawing stupid patterns on his chest using my fingers. He didn't stop my hand, even though he observed me smiling and probably wondering what the hell I was doing… Well, I wasn't sure either. I felt like most parts of my brain hung out a sign that said, “out of order”.“We have to get up…” Hiro announced and kissed me on a forehead.After that, he got up… with me lying on him. That was the only reason I was able to sit. But I soon came to realize, that my biggest problem w
Last Updated : 2021-02-18Embracing the Devil Another mistake...
It had been three days since Hiro left, and I had been experiencing this kind of longing for someone for the first time. Maybe it would have been different if he hadn't left right after that passionate night we'd spent together. I kept recalling every detail, I could feel that sensation, his touch, and as soon as I was feeling I was able to deal with it, I felt asleep and dreamt about that night!He was genuinely the only person that could make me emotionally unstable up to that point where I suffered from extreme mood swings every ten minutes. I acted like a spoiled child, fortunately, only in front of myself, since I had never contacted him on my own, because I didn't want to disturb him. Nevertheless I felt helpless, unable to control my own, stupid emotions. I was weak, too weak.“Ana, get it together! He didn't left forever, it will be only couple of days! How are you qualified to stand by his side, if you act in that pitiful way?!” I scolded myself ov

I got out of the shop with the man in the cap walking in front of me and another one walking right behind me, and probably holding a gun against my back. They led me to some back street, it looked like a perfectly secluded place. Just right to commit a murder. I was shaking and crying out in fear on the inside, but on the outside I did everything I could to pretend being composed.In one moment, the guy walking behind me pushed me to the nearest wall. I turned around and realized that he was indeed holding a real gun the entire time, and now he was pointing it straight at me. I gulped and really wished I still had that tracker Hiro planted on me once.“Miss Kowalsky, let's safe each other's time…” the man in the cap started, “We know that you are in contact with Wang Hiro. We know that up until now, you were constantly protected by people from TK Industries…”“Luckily for us, today, that wasn't the case,” the man

Jay brought me to Samuel for treatment. I didn't even recall how we got there. My mind was blank the entire time, all I did was to smile faintly in a flashing reaction when I realized again that I should be glad that I was still alive. I couldn't remember if I thanked Jay for saving me or not. Moreover, I felt pathetic, I cried inside sinking in self-pity, yet not even a single tear floated out of my eye. I became numb. I heard an indistinct voice coming to my ears, a repeating sound calling familiar syllables, a male voice…“Ana… Ana! Do you hear me?” Samuel kept calling me for some time.“Y…yes,” I replied with a low voice like I was waking up from a dream.“Your neck is quite swollen, try not to force your larynx muscles too much for few days. You might have troubles with speaking louder… but it will pass,” he explained carefully observing my reactions.I could tell that he wasn't sure if

Jay obviously didn't take my words seriously, and in an act of brotherly love told me to hang up, go to sleep and call him again in the morning. I obediently ended that call, but I stood firmly at what I asked for, and I was willing to state that again, as soon as I would wake up.I was going to fall asleep with my mind clear and willing to do anything to convince Jay that learning how to protect myself was crucial for me being together with Hiro… or buying coffee and wine whenever I needed to.I put myself in the good mood… or rather, wine did. I lied comfortably in my bed and I closed my eyes. Seconds later, I saw the blood bursting out of my attacker's neck, I felt pain from the wound on my cheek, and had troubles with breathing, exactly like the time I was being strangled. I kept reminiscing each detail of what happened in the alley. The scenes were played in front of my eyes up until the late morning when I finally decided to open my eyes feeling exh

The driver brought me in front of something that looked like an abandoned warehouse. It was a three storeys high building, full of big, dirty windows with no clear development inside. I asked a few times to confirm if it was the right place. The driver told me only to walk through the main entrance.I got off the car, and he drove away… I had nothing left to do but to follow what he said. I got inside through a metal door and found myself inside something that looked like an old, unused for years reception. It looked odd. There was a big desk, cover in dust on my left side, a big wall with no door in front of me, and a small, clean, and completely unmatching the rest of the stuff there, black table on my right. At that point I decided to call Jay.“I'm inside… this reception… or whatever… What do I do now?” I looked forward for any instructions.“Turn around,” Jay chuckled.When I looked behind I saw him
Last Updated : 2021-02-22Embracing the Devil Dealing with the pain…
I had hard time walking around my apartment but trying to sit on the toilet was probably the worst… I literally felt every tendon in my body. I laughed out loud at myself realizing how pathetic my condition was. Nevertheless, every sore muscle reminded me, why I decided to do that. That was why, no matter how painful my body was I put an idiotic smile on my face thinking what could be the outcome of that training. Of course, I wasn't dreaming of becoming a fighter, but what if I was able to protect myself, even a little bit, instead of always depending on others?Besides, even if I couldn't help Hiro in his plan for revenge, at least I should stop being such a burden. Certainly, my current state kept telling me I had an incredibly long way ahead of me… Furthermore, I knew that the worst pain would come the next day. I decided to do something to minimize the soreness… and used every possible method I could find online.I ate a lot of vegetables and

I woke up the next day thinking that I even wouldn't be able to lift my head up, but it actually wasn't that bad. It was painful but bearable. My aching heart was something that wasn't that easy to ignore… I couldn't stop thinking about Hiro, I hoped that he was feeling fine, and that he would quickly make progress in his investigation in Hong Kong. I wanted to see him, touch him… I missed him terribly.Once again I found the solution to my yearning in writing. Unfortunately, my mood didn't improved much, even thought my novel was finally starting to earn me some money. The amount of my readers grew with every day, I knew I should be happy… and I was, somewhere in my heart, but I couldn't paint even a fainting smile on my face. My overwhelming sadness possessed few following chapters and I created a full of despair thread between my Troy and Serenity. After flooding the story with my loneliness I surprisingly felt better, like I got it off my chest. By th

Embracing the Devil The miracle
I dreamt about attending someone's funeral. There were a lot of people without faces, they were all wearing black, mourning clothes, silently waiting for the burial. I passed them by and walked to the coffin. I was terrified, but something was pushing me forward, an unknown force told me to open the coffin lid. I gazed inside and burst into tears. I saw Hiro lying inside it. My chest was torn by agonizing pain, I couldn't breathe. My mind kept telling me it wasn't true, so I clenched my teeth and looked inside the coffin once more and I saw… myself. There was my body, lying, without the last ounce of life left. It was an empty shell. I flinched, but strangely the view didn't surprise me too much. Perhaps, I was aware that after you get shot, you die… I used to think that stories where one lover sacrifices himself for the sake of another are nothing more than a romantic fantasy. After some thinking, I always laughed at myself for writing such cliché ending in
Embracing the Devil Revenge
Tsuchida Kosuke never made it to Police station. He used his connections to run away from police van, he must have planned it, just in case, before the meeting. He was now being chased across Japan, and the arrest warrant was sent all over the world. However, since he went into hiding, not even people from TK were able to find him… so far.There were no traces of Kaisei either. People from TK found out that he sold his all of the companies he owned a week before the board of directors meeting. It looked like he was preparing to leave. Perhaps, both Kosuke and him arranged that disappearance beforehand. That only made me more worried.It had been 3 months since Kosuke disappeared. I was restless. I could feel safe only when I was with Hiro, when I could hold his hand, or sleep in his arms. Whenever he wasn't around I constantly looked over my shoulder, even though Hiro set few of his best bodyguards to protect me.Hiro constantly traveled around to keep th
Embracing the Devil Counting votes...
The election supposed to be made by a secret ballot. Every member of the board was given a specially prepared card to write the name of the candidate they vote for. Then the cards were collected and passed to Okada, so that he could read them loud. He stepped on the platform with his hands shaking, I bet it was a long time since he was that uncertain of his own position. He unfolded the first vote…“A vote for the current Chairman, Tsuchida Kosuke… Second vote for… Mr. Chairman… the third vote for, Mr. Tsuchida Kosuke as well…” he announced slightly relieved.I glanced at Hiro, he clenched his fist, but his facial expression remained unchanged. On the other hand, I was already breathing heavily and kept digging my nails into poor Melisa's hand. I guess, I was panicking for the both of us.“The forth vote is for… Tsuchida Hiro…” Okada squeezed out reluctantly, then unfolded another vote, &ld
Embracing the Devil The meeting
Melisa led me to some conference room with a big screen and a remote control lying on the table. We were alone there, it looked like we were the only bystanders who were about to observe the board of directors meeting...I thought that Kaisei would be here as well, but he wasn't. It was relieving, I still wasn't certain how to react at his presence knowing he was the murderer's loyal dog.Melisa turned the screen on and soon we were able to see all nine people sitting at the conference table along with Okada, acting as a meeting clerk, standing beside the current Chairman. Hiro was sitting on the right side from Kosuke, he looked composed, but I could bet he was boiling inside being this close to his nemesis…“Are you nervous?” Melisa asked me suddenly.“Yes… a lot… but I have faith in Hiro,” I smiled.Okada walked on the platform and started the meeting, greeting everyone.“Let me present t
Embracing the Devil Another step closer...
We had no time for our honeymoon, nor genuinely acting like newlyweds supposed to, but it was all right. I decided to help Hiro in any way I could for his plans to work out at last. His uncle had hard time acknowledging him in public, but he had no other choice since Hiro made sure that fact was widely spread by the media.Hiro and Melisa created a story where a young Tsuchida heir visited his father's friend when the rest of his family died in a tragic accident. The boy then suffered from a trauma for a long time and only now he decided to reveal his real identity… The press bought it. None of those articles mentioned Tsuchida Kosuke's involvement. There were no evidence that he had something to do with his brother family's death. Hiro realized long ago that the main culprit would never stand trial for this murder. His plan was to take everything his uncle took from him, and bring him to jail for something else…Tsuchida Ichiro, Hiro's father originally
Embracing the Devil Congratulations!
Hiro smiled warmly and grabbed my hand.“Let's get married, Ana… now,” he gazed deeply into my eyes.My mind went blank for few seconds, after that my heart started to pound feverishly, a wave of heat filled my body along with some tingling sensation.“You don't want to?” he asked, hesitantly.I glanced at him in silence, and smiled. Then looked at his hand, gently holding and caressing mine, and understood that this sensation I felt in my entire body was pure happiness…“Do… do you… have a pen?” I muttered with my eyes filled with tears.“Are you crying?” he asked, confused.“Yes,” I laughed shedding tears at the same time, “Give me a pen… I will sign it.”Suddenly, he got up and jumped on my side through the table to hug me.“I'm sorry… The ring, the ceremony… I will give it all to you later, w
Embracing the Devil Our date...
I stared at Hiro completely confused.“How can we go on date just like that…? Aren't you… hiding?” I asked.“The documents proving my identity officially came today. That's what this phone call was about… I can tell Wang Hiro goodbye,” he smirked.“That is great news… but what about your uncle? You are a big threat to him…” I tried understanding the whole situation.“I am, but he cannot do much about it now. He must have found out already that he won't find the thing he wanted in the vault, and that means he must have figured out that I have all the evidence against him,” Hiro snickered.“What are those evidence? What could they prove?”“There were video footage of my uncle bribing a government official, and a list of sums of money with names. There were all the people bribed by Okada and my uncle over the years. All the evidence were collect
Embracing the Devil Declaration
I couldn't sleep. Hiro held me tight in his arms making me put my head on his chest. Unlike me, he was sleeping peacefully. I kept listening to the sound of Hiro's heart, it beat slowly and strong. It helped me calm down, but I was still far from away from falling asleep. I had this strange feeling that if I closed my eyes now, he would disappear…His sleeping face seemed amazingly kind and innocent. I suddenly thought how different he might have been if it weren't for his uncle and the death of his entire family. Perhaps, he would fall in love with some beautiful female college student, or a daughter of some other CEO, and he would have a happy life… and we would have never met. But could we truly be together… after all that had happened between us? If he meant what he said before, it would be possible… but I didn't want to go back to how the things were. I wanted something more. I wanted a declaration.I tried closing my eyes, but somehow
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
