Chun-Hei dropped Hope and Akiaya off at the hotel. They two women went off in the same direction with Chun-Hei pulling away. There was an unspoken tension as they slowly walked to the elevator. The first person to break the silence was hope. "You knew didn't you?"
Akiaya looked at her startled by the sudden words. She could keep lying or she could come clean. "it's a possibility I knew. Why does it matter now? Your pregnant. For him. An engaged man. I still find you to be a bit stupid."She gasped. "… I deserved that. I wont even say you were wrong. When I found out. I just couldn't let him go.""I'm not calling you stupid for being with him. I'm calling you stupid for the unprotected sex, being with him, and not knowing what you plan to do. The two of you have complicated a lot.""Yes. I know. I'll just get an abortion and end the relationship with him.""I wont tell you what to do but even though it's your body he still should know your thoughts and plans. I wouldn'The two if them walked along the strip holding hands. They came across several stores. Each time Akiaya wanted to go inside. She would slowly make her way over to the baby clothing. It struck Takeyasu as odd but it made him happy to think that she wanted to have his child one day."You realize this will probably be out of style when we eventually have a child.""Heh, yeah I'm sure it will be. I bet they'll have even better things by that time."It was getting closer to the time for dinner. Akiaya was starting to feel nervous once more. Her papa was over protective and overly dramatic. "Take it's time to head to the family house."He turned around and smiled at her. "So you'll tell me the news then?""Fat chance maniac. Let's go." She pulled on his hand as she started to walk at a brisk pace.Once they were settled in the car. He asked once more. "You really wont tell me?"She looked at him with a dead expression. Then finally answered him. "Yes
Geun Hye went to take his seat at the head of the table. Akiaya took her place next to Amor diagonally from Willow. Kenisha came in and took her place in front of Geun Hye. When Takeyasu walked in Willow looked up in shock. She hadn't expected to see him here. How did he know where she lived? She made sure that he would meet her at a restaurant. She noticed how Akiaya glanced at him and smiled. What are the odds that her slutty sister would find out about him and latch on to him. Her face started to turn red with anger until he took a seat next to her. The smug smile that grew on her face gave off an arrogant aura.Akiaya only looked at Willow briefly before turning to look at their father. "So, papa this is my friend Takeyasu. He's a business man and um I just wanted to introduce everyone to him. It's been several years since we have seen each other."Geun Hye only looked at the boy with narrowed eyes. "You better stay in the friend zone if you know what's good for you.
Willow was the first to speak. "He doesn't have to leave. I want him to stay." She latched on to him pulling his head into her bosom. Take didn't move his eyes remained on Akiaya. Geun Hye dropped his utensils and cried. "Are you trying to kill me? Not my precious princess! You cant be pregnant. You! I'll kill you." Geun Hye had turned his attention to Takeyasu as he was being held by Willow. "You let go of my sweet Willow pie!"Akiaya didn't want to stay in there anymore. "Well, if he wont leave then I will. Goodbye. Please do not contact me again. Father, I will be in touch in regards to the company other than that please do not bother me." She bowed low to them then turned to leave. Willow was the only one that had a smile on her face. "Good riddance."That simple statement was enough to snap Takeyasu out of his disbelief. "Let go of me. I don't even know you!" He flew out of the dining room. He stopped when he realized his manners. He turned. "Thank you for the meal." He b
Akiaya finally felt comfortable enough to drive. Leaving her family home and Takeyasu behind, she drove away. Her mind was off in another world. She was driving on autopilot. Unaware of how she ended up in a store parking lot she didn't hesitate to get out. She hurried inside before they closed for the night. It was her first break up. It didn't take her long to find the ice cream. She loaded her cart with different flavors before adding additional junk to it. When she reached the cashier he looked annoyed for having to stay longer than his allotted schedule. Akiaya looked at him, whatever i managed to get a grimace out, it was frightening to see. She took her purchases and went back to her car. It didn't take her long to reach home. It was dark inside her building. The street lamp flickered as she was trying to get her bags out."Can I help you?"The sound of his voice startled her. She looked up to see her neighbor from before standing near her door. "Oh, you scared me
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
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'
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
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
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
