Akiaya received another bouquet of flowers the next day, this time it was Morning Glory. She started ignoring his messages. It warmed her heart every time she seen his messages. She knew there would be bouquet sent to her just afterwards but she hated when he would tease her and unabashedly express his feelings towards her. This time the message she received from him weakened her resolve to not contact him. It was hard but she did her best to leave the message alone.
Through out the day she would look at the morning glories and then the message he sent to her. [Can you feel my affections growing for you every single day. Will you allow me to love you for the rest of our lives?] The smile on her face was becoming a fixture ever since he started to do this. The stress she had been under do to her father being forced to rest and having a stroke. He was the only happiness she was able to grasp on to in what seemed like a long time. That happiness didn't go unnoticed by Will
When the door opened and Willow stood in front of it the smile that expanded on her face quickly turned to a grimace. Willow stood there holding a bouquet of white clovers in her hand. The vase they were in was a crystal pitcher with green accents on the handle and bottom. Akiaya looked at the flowers then looked away. Those weren't her favorite flowers. Willow dropped the flower vase on her desk and tossed the card to her. "Here. The delivery guy gave this to me. These are ugly like your face." Akiaya glared at Willow because the vase could have been damaged by how hard she dropped it. The card was in her lap. Willow left the office once again. Akiaya opened the card to see the message. "If I'm right will you go on a date with me?" She was baffled by the note he had sent her. This maniac actually thought she would go on a date with someone that didn't know what her favorite flower was.Before she knew what she was doing she was calling him. The phone rang several times
Akiaya worked through lunch. Willow didn't show up at all that day. She shirked her duties onto Akiaya. It was bad enough her day was ruined by the lack of no flowers or message from Takeyasu but to have to do all the work alone she was not in the best of moods when she left the office. Instead of going to the family house like she had been lately she decided to head home. Sleep in her own bed for a change. The notion to call Takeyasu still remained on her mind but her stubbornness won out in the end. Instead she looked at the only photo she had of him. He really was gorgeous. His eyes made her feel like she was the only woman in the world. It was the best feeling she could ever have. Looking at the time she made the decision to call her friend from college. It had been a little while since they last spoken. Akiaya wanted to make sure everything was going well with her at the new job."Oh my lanta! Girl it's been ages since we spoken. How have you been?"She gigg
Akiaya reluctantly went towards Victor's office. She stood outside the doors, hesitant of going inside. A wave of nausea hit her stomach due to nerves. She wasn't sure what Takeyasu had to him and if that was the reason for him summoning her to his office. Instead of announcing herself to him she instead ran towards the bathroom with her hand covering that mouth. Akiaya stopped just a few feet away from his door to address his secretary. "Tye will you let Victor know I'm not feeling well. We can talk over the phone." He nodded his head in understanding before she disappeared towards the restrooms. Tye buzzed into Victor's office. "Sir Miss Akiaya will have you call her once she comes out of the bathroom." Victor only grunted his response since he was immersed on his work. Soon he stopped, looking up from his papers he buzzed Tye in confusion. "Why did she need to see me?""She didn't say. She stood in front of the doors for a few minutes before she clutched at her stomach and
*warning sexually explicit chapter. you do not have to read what's in the asterisk, which is a lot practically the whole chapter. reader discretion is advise**"Mmm. Wait. We're in the office." Akiaya tried to push him away. He only pulled her closer to his muscular frame. His lips moved from hers down to her neck. His hands kneading the flesh of her rear. She left out another moan. His breath warming her body in a heated trail. Takeyasu stopped long enough to see the wanton look forming on her face. He knew if he didn't say it now his chance would be misplace. "Akiaya I want you to know, I will love you until the last flower dies. And even after that." She looked at him puzzled not understanding. Once more she was kissed passionately, taking away in thoughts she may have had. Her finger were threading into his long black hair. It had been months since she last felt the strands of his silky tresses against her skin. He nimbly unbuttoned her blouse slowly w
Willow had left to go meet with the man that had answered the call. She had gotten there within fifteen minutes. It was a more upscale café than she had been going to recently. Most of the cafés she's been to have been all abroad an have been quaint little places. She order a sweet and a lavender grey tea. Sadly, with all the negative vibes she's been exuding her body was beginning to wear down. Willow took a seat near the window, gazing out absentmindedly when she seen a familiar face. Or rather the guy she bumped into at the airport. Hope spring up in her heart. It was a coincidence that he would be near this café. She hoped beyond wishing that he would walk through the doors. When he did she eternally squealed. She tried her hardest to remain calm.He looked around, his eyes locked onto a beautiful maiden by the window. His heart started to thump wildly in his chest. Takamasa had never had that happen to him before. Mostly his heart would beat only when he was on the ver
This chapter contains sexually explicit natures. If you would like to skip that part gloss over the **.The light turned green before she had a chance to snap a picture. It infuriated her. She knew he now a cheat but was he a liar to boot? Akiaya decided to give him a call, just to see how bad of a man he really was. The phone continued to ring until a breathy Victor answered. "Hello?""Oh good Victor you answered. I need your help ate you busy at the moment?""I'm out with a client at the moment. What do you need?""I bet you are.""Excuse me?""Nothing… I actually need you to help me get a gift for Chu. She is totally head over heels for you and I figured since you'll be marrying my sachon, you'd be the perfect person to help. Can you?""Right now? I can't but soon. Sure. I have to go.""Of course. Make sure you treat your client with as much respect you've treated Chun-Hei. Annyeong." The call ended with Akiaya frowning in displeasure. She thought about
Takeyasu had been trying to figure out what would be a proper date for Akiaya. Could going to the movies, out to eat, and shopping be enough for her? Would she want something grandiose or low key? The girl he fell in love with was now a woman that he barely even knew. The only person he could think to ask for help was Victor, but even Victor wouldn't know personal information about her. He sighed at the realization that planning a surprise date would be harder than he thought. The only thing he could think to do with her is to go to the arcade. He remembered they talked about it before when they were in junior high. Akiaya wanted to master the crane game. Takeyasu thought it was cute when she said it with so much determination. He sent her a message just to see if she remembered that conversation from years ago. [Do you still want to master the crane game?][..??][Heh. U 4got rite?][….no][Then I'll remind you. Wait for my call.]She didn't respond after that. He ch
Akiaya left his room and allowed the nurse to enter. She was an older woman that has been with them from the time Amor was one. He was nineteen now. Having lived this long most people thought he wouldn't make it to the age of five. Amor's quality of life was enhanced as much as possible with the family's money. His nurse, Emma, made sure to gently push him to try for a sense of normalcy. She treated him like he was her own son. Akiaya watched them for a minute before heading upstairs to her room. She liked that Emma was always good to Amor. It made her happy knowing that no matter what there was someone he could trust.Akiaya's mind went back thinking how she set up Victor. She was a very detailed person, needing everything to have specific possible outcome in order for her to feel like it was a success. She was startled from her thoughts by a phone call from Chun-Hei. "Chu what's up?""Don't tell me you forgot?""Forgot? What did I forget?""We're going out to cel
Lu had remained in the hallway until everyone had left. He wished he could continue pretending to be caring towards her but they knew of his deception it wouldn't be smart unless he managed to say he forgot in a moment of panic. With that thought in mind he walked out of the hospital to determine the best course of action.Night had fallen by the time Akiaya had woken up. She felt the familiar weight on her hand. Looking over she the person holding her hand she seen Takeyasu resting his head on his other hand. She rolled her eyes at how uncomfortable he looked. Akiaya smoothed his hair down with her hand. Memories of that night flitted back to her. How his hair cloaked her head and shoulders. He took very great care of his hair. She had hoped that their child would have more of his genetics than her own. Thinking of their child she started to shake him awake. "Take! Takeyasu! Wake up!""Mmm… why you want?""The baby? Is the baby ok?"He turned his head towards her
The car pulled up to the quiet house. No one said a word. As they ascended the stairs. Amor and Emma were waiting in front of the door. They had heard the news of Akiaya being hospitalized. They were worried about her and the baby. Amor was there when the argument broke out. The news of her having a baby shocked him and her was actually happy. They all walked into the home with am anxious Amor in his chair. Just before he was able to speak, Geun Hye turned on Willow and slapped her in her face. Willow wasn't stunned by this, she knew it was going to happen, but she started to scream at him anyway while holding her cheek. "Why would you even slap me? Just because I said I hope she loses that fetus?""That's enough, Willow!" Kenisha placed her hand on her shoulder. Her voice was stern."No! I wont. You've treated me differently ever since you adopted me. I was just your token child used just for show."Kenisha was about to speak when Geun stopped her with a look. "Let her get
The seconds turned into minutes. Time seemed to drag on as they waited. It was silent in the hallway save for the whirling of machines and the clacking of shoes. Lu, finally had appeared in the hallway only to see everyone waiting. He held a tiny smile on his lips as he reveled in their despair. He wanted them to feel her pain. Just as he was turning to leave someone can walking briskly up to the elderly man sitting down. She looked annoyed at having to be pulled away from her priorities. Lu had hurried out of sight. He was standing behind a corner listening in. "Papa, what is it that you called me out here for?""Your sister is inside. She'll want to see you.""… ok? I don't need to be here with her. She's not dying." Willow changed her tine of voice, she almost sounded happy. "Is she dying? Whose going to inherit the company?"Takeyasu couldn't stand the way she was speaking any longer. Just before her father said anything he spoke up. "You are a heartless bitch! I don't
Takeyasu was just about to walk inside the hospital when he saw the same man from earlier. He stopped at the door, unwilling to go inside. Did she really let go of her feelings for him or was this just a coincidence? The man didn't see him when Takeyasu made up his mind to go in. He planned on ignoring him when he heard a small snippet of his conversation. "Yeah, i didn't tell the doctor about the baby. No, they plan on giving her something. She's in the early stages i assume so it shouldn't matter if she has a miscarriage. Yeah fine. Bye."Takeyasu wanted to punch the man right then and there but instead he rushed inside the hospital, bombarding the nurses station. "Ma'am, I need the room for Eum Akiaya. Please, it's an emergency. She's pregnant.""Sir, the patient you are referring to is not pregnant. No one has made that claim. Please take a seat and wait for a moment.""But…""Have a seat sir."Begrudgingly he went to sit down. His anxiety level was creeping
Lu held her in his arms as the paramedics came on the scene. At that moment they could hear a phone ringing. While they loaded her on to a gurney, Lu found her phone in her bag. "Forgive me." The name on the call was Chu. He wasn't sure who it was but someone needed to know what was going on. "Hello?""…" She looked at her phone to check if she dialed the right number. Seeing that she did her face twisted in anger. Her thoughts running in the direction of thievery. "Who are you? Where is Akiaya?""Do you know her? Because Akiaya is going to the hospital for collapsing.""OH MY GOD!" Chun-Hei was grabbing her purse and keys heading towards the door. "What hospital. I will meet her there? Is the baby alright?"Lu looked down at her phone when he heard that. "What baby?"Chun-Hei didn't have time to explain anything she wanted to be there for her cousin. "Let the EMT's know she is pregnant. And get the name of the hospital she is going to. Keep me updated sir. Just text
Akiaya and Lu walked and talked throughout the entire neighborhood. She did feel uncomfortable with his hand against her lower back but didn't say anything. It's not like he meant anything by it. They started to pass by a café when her stomach began to growl. She looked away bashfully trying to hide her embarrassment. "It sounds like you haven't eaten anything. Would you like to go inside?""No, I'll ne fi…" Her stomach grumbled again making her change her mind. "Yes. But I can pay for my own meal.""No its my treat. I invited myself out on your walk. It's the least I can do.""Alright."The two of them went inside. Akiaya let him know what she wanted and he stood in line to order it. As she was glancing around the café her eyes locked on to a familiar pair of grey eyes. No it couldn't be him. He wouldn't follow her. Akiaya looked away just in time for Lu to come back to the table with her muffin and orange juice. She gave him a smile to ward off her desire to find
Willow sat in the board room with her head down. It was as if she was trying to get herself into the right frame of mind. Silently she listened as the members filed in to the room one by one. She thought of her favorite movie that always made her sad. The fake tears streamed down her cheeks. Willow took that moment to look up as the members sat down. "Forgive me for calling for this meeting but its Akiaya."Victor was also in the room when he saw how she looked. It piqued his interest. He waited to hear what she had to say."Akiaya … she… she." Willow stopped for a dramatic pause before continuing on. "She is trying to ruin the company. I've been her assistant for a month and she has not done any of the work my father permitted for her."Victor was the first person to speak, silencing all other members. "You bring this accusation to us now, when the accused is home sick at the moment. Why haven't you told us this before hand?""I was afraid she would fire me. Papa
Takeyasu had made it to the apartment. An elderly woman met him outside with a smile. "Good morning. Are you Takeyasu?"He bowed to her before standing up. "Yes, I'll take the apartment. My brother and I are tired of living in a hotel.""You don't want to look at it the decide?""I've already decided I'll take it but I should look into it so I can have the best room."The woman just shrugged her shoulders. She started to open the door when Take took the handle from her and held it open. She gave him a smile before hobbling inside. Takeyasu followed suit behind her. "Your apartment is on the second floor. Its two bedrooms. We have a community laundry room in the basement." She took him up the stairs. Takeyasu walked slowly behind her making sure she didn't fall.Once they reached the second floor. She started speaking again. "Across the hall is Akiaya apartment. Today she didn't leave for work like she normally does. I think she's sick. Its uncommon for her. She'
Takamasa couldn't understand why Willow was being so bratty at a time like this. He started to wonder if maybe she was a little on the crazy side. He obviously didn't want her to stay in a bathhouse but he knew now was the time Takeyasu needed him the most. Masa started to send her a message then deleted it. Now wasn't the time to bother her. Instead he went upstairs to see how his twin was fairing. He had it in his mind to go see Akiaya the next day.Akiaya was in her bed with food spread out around her as she played music and watched movies. She had hoped that the sounds would muffle the tears she shed as she cried into her ice cream. Just as a scene came up where the love interests confessed to each other she took a huge bite of spicy noodles. "You better make sure he didn't sleep with your sister!" she head was in a fog and her mouth was dry. She got up off her bed to grab the bottle of red wine she had in the fridge. Taking the top off she nearly drank from the bottle
