Chapter 5

After waiting so long for him to lean in and take the lead. For me to close my eyes as we engross in a moment that never came, l felt him grip my arm as he turned me around. He did not say a word as he again tied me with another rope. Can't we get over with it.

He has so much pride. Man. 

He should have given in and we should  have kissed then l wouldn't be tied on this pole again.

" Why are you complicating things l am making this a lot  easier for you."l complained dramatically saying it in a grieving tone.

He looked into my eyes with his purple ones that seemed to restrain any emotion or feeling for me or any one to see.

" So what now. Are you going to feed me again." I challenged feeling too good to get under his skin.

" Shut your mouth now." He threatened holding a knife at my throat. I could not see when or how he had taken it out. He was steady as if it was a normal thing to kill a person. 

I suddenly lost words as l felt cold and my hands kept trembling though they were tied on one place. 

I nodded and after that he threw the knife through the window and went to his seat. Resting his back and crossing his legs together that his red coat covered him from the dusty in the room. He closed his eyes letting his hair cover his face as he breathed in and out.

"Sosuke sama!"

Ryinosuke suddenly burst in kneeling in front of him. Surely which century are we in. At least show the respect by just bowing  . At least that's what l am used to. My mom and dad used to be respected in that way at least. But here he is being a king in this era. What's left for him is a line of children from the different women all fighting for the inheritance. I think that will happen soon enough only that they will not be ruling but follow in this thrash doings of him.

" Sosuke sama, he is here." Ryinosuke announced with some sweat on his forehead. He looked at his master.

He seemed startled a little bit before he stood up.

"The  old man is here what about his dog. 'He' is always wagging his tail for a bone hah."

He looked torwards the big doors as it opened revealing one short man dressed in a black suit and his gray hair set back and his hands held at the back. Behind him. Man dressed weirdly and some bodyguards dressing as always like how Ress used to do his look.

"Nagara how long has it been since you have seen this old man." He said walking torwards him. 

Sosuke was not happy at all since this old man arrival. But it looked as if he had no say. 

I looked  at the man beside the old man he looked weird in such a way. Afar you could say he really was a boy but if you looked closely you would understand. It is a 'she' dressed in disguise. She had very short hair compared to mine. 

I could see the longing in her eyes as she looked at the man beside me. It looked like everyone knew except this dummy who only knows to handle people. He refused me.

It's funny my first time lingering such thought. I was flatly rejected   by a handsome guy. 

He never looked her way it's like he considered her non-existent perks of loving him.

" What do l owe this visit Lockey sama." He asked as he looked at the old man who glanced at me tied on the pole.

Before replying he glanced at me a second time.

"Who is this?" 

Sosuke did not look my way but non the less ignored Mr Lockey.

" ls this how you are performing your duties these days. Very secretive. I wonder what the executives think when they elected.."

"You might want to zip your mouth now Lockey sama, we wouldn't want anything to get out of place especially in the eyes of the enemy."

Enermy he meant me. 

What did l do. It is all their corrupted minds that make up all this misunderstandings.

"Sorry Sosuke senpai Lockey sama did not mean any harm." 

The girl beside the old man enquired as she bowed while the bodyguards followed suit and the other as well.

"Ughh..... till next time l hope you take care of all of this before our next meeting. You know it won't be pleasant."

The old man spats before leaving the room with his group.

The young lady turning a bit stealing a look at  Sosuke as she ran after her boss.

I pity her for having such feelings for him. Shouldn't she be looking around for other men. They are plenty here. Some whom l am yet to see. 

" They are gone. Sosuke sama what should l do with her." Ryinosuke asked eying me up and down. Clutching his katana tight.

"Leave her to me go after that old man."

"Yes"

He bowed and vacated the room.

I could see that Sosuke was in foul mood. I did not want to let his anger at loose.

He spared me a glance as his eyes showed an intent to kill.

He took a sit and intertwined his fingers and stared far away.

Looking at him at a short distance made me think of his occupation. What was really done here. So far l understood their admiration for ancient things which was really weird. But l had nothing that l claim to know about them. Why they took me? How they did it? Their real identities, nothing. 

Or what really happed two days before. What was on that red cloth. Why l was left alone or what he meant.

" What do you want to do with me." I blurted out unintentionally capturing his attention. He stared at me with sharp eyes anger showing on his face with a frown.

I looked downwards waiting for his outburst.

Waiting that is what l could do.
