Carla Christine POV-That same night, from I donāt know where we came from, as if there was a war, only Yuichi and I went home to the mansion.Yuichi and I were silent throughout the entire flight until we arrived home. I canāt get into my brain what to witness.Even though everything around Yuichi and I was silent today, I still seemed to hear countless gunshots. I saw a lot of blood, above all there were many people lying in their own blood.My whole body is still shaking and I feel even organs I have are shaking with fear.āWife,āI jumped in surprise and my heart beat so fast that I could hardly breathe when Yuichi suddenly held my hand.I looked Yuichi straight in his eyes. He softened his face now, unlike before when he appeared as a monster involved in gunfireāno, he didnāt even exchange gunfire. He makes sure to kill his target with every gunshot he fires.Four, five, ten, Yuichi lost more lives than the fingers of my hands. In just one night, countless people lost their live
Yuichi POV-āBoss, how is maāam Christine?ā Astrid query.āShe was shocked. I donāt think she has processed what she witnessed.ā I replied.āDoes that mean he already knows about us?ā Blake question.āYes.āāI hope sheās fine.ā Astrid said.āAnd I hope she doesnāt change her opinion of us,ā Blake said.I looked at Blake. His eyes were about to tear up after he knew Christine already knew about us. He looks scared Christine might change her view of him even more and Blake finds in Christine the care of one of Christineās siblings.āChristine just needs time to think and process everything. You should trust her like I do.ā I said to both. āYou should trust your queen.ā I add.āāā..........āāāCarla Christine POV-I was alone ALL NIGHT in my previous room in this mansion.At least I could think better.But, itās still hard to process what I learned. What I witnessed.I got up when someone knocked and for a while I saw Yuichi with a tray of food.Yuichi put the tray down on the sid
Carla Christine POV-I stayed in my room for two nights.I have thought about things, things that I want my mind to be clear about, especially about what happened that night.I still canāt tell Yuichi about what happened to me that night, but I might tell him that. Not now.It was late when I thought about going back to our room in Yuichi. Somehow I missed laying next to the bed and when I woke up his face was the first thing I saw.Yuichi didnāt want to leave me in my room for two nights, but I insisted I wanted to be alone to clear my mind. When I entered Yuichi and Iās room, it was dark and the only light was the small light from the moon, which partially opened the curtain.Even though it was a little light, it was enough to see Yuichiās gun pointing at me. I didnāt feel scared, instead, I even grinned.I understand now why, when I was a little scared then they took out their guns and pointed them around. Because even, their enemy may be around, watching them or they will be ki
Carla Christine POV-He straightened up while sitting. āWhat!?ā Yuichi sowed. āWhat are you saying?āāI also want to learn how to fight, especially how to use all kinds of guns.ā I repeat.This is the thing that I was thinking about when I was alone in the room. Knowing the situation and above all the world that Yuichi lives in, I want to learn all that. To protect.āNo.āYuichiās answer stunned me for a moment. I didnāt expect him to disagree. I thought his joy would skyrocket when he learned about my plans, but instead, he forced me to hold a gun.āI will never allow you to hold a gun again. Lending you a gun was a mistake of mine. I shouldnāt have let you hold a gun,ā he stated. āBut, Yuichi. I have to learn to fight, too.āāYou donāt need to learn how to use a gun. I will never let you perish. People who want to hurt you will come to me first. I will kill the people who will hurt you.āāWhat? No. Iām not always by your side.āāThen, if itās necessary that you donāt disappear by
Carla Christine POV-Yuichi let out a sigh.Iām not sure what Yuichiās sigh means, if he agrees to my request or if I still have to convince him?If he is still not willing, I will do everything to make him agree to my request. I will not allow this day to end without him granting my request.When Yuichi hugged me, I felt surprised and startled.āDamn, wife. How do you do this?āāWhich one?āāYou give me a reason to love you more.āHe sounds happy.āWhat are you saying?āItās hard to guess what is going through Yuichiās mind and what he means by what he says. It is difficult to guess what is going through Yuichiās mind and understand what he means by what he says.I think that in the next few days, Yuichiās words should be the ones I should know, so that I donāt always wonder or ask questions.Yuichi kept his eyes fixed on me, never looking away. āYou know how to use your position. I agree, Iām not just your husband, Iām also your queen. And I will not let my enemies see you as weak.
Yuichi POV-After I said to my wife that I was scared of her, I meant it. Like now, I felt a fear of him again.Damn it.Iām not sure Iām going to be impressed with what Christine is showing. If I hadnāt memorized my wife, Iām sure I wouldnāt be able to read that sheās squirming in anger right now.I didnāt know that Christine could hide her genuine emotions like me. She is now looking innocent, but her eyes are full of resentment.This is who I am.To this day, I canāt believe that he accepted me. My heart is overflowing with joy that because Christine found out the truth, she didnāt leave me, but with that comes fear and apprehension.AFTER Christine said she wanted to train, I decided not to let her. Her hands are too precious to be stained with blood. Ha! But the moment he used her position, I swallowed everything I said. Her decision to use her position in my life was undeniably wise.But, seeing her right now, after she said about the person who hurt her, I suddenly felt fear f
Carla Christine POV-With the distance we traveled, adding to the fatigue, I fell asleep almost the whole way to the hideout they were referring to.āAre we still in the right direction?ā I asked Yuichi.Before I fell asleep, I might have been on the highway, but now I canāt see anything but towering trees. The road is quite bumpy.I looked at the environment. All I can see is dense and towering trees as far as I can see.āYes, wife. We were still on the right road.āIf Yuichi doesnāt confirm that weāre still on the right path, Iāll get scared. We came out of nowhere.āWeāre here, wife.āI looked back to the front and there was a high wall. It opened an automatic gate and there were people around who seemed to be security guards. After Yuichi went down the window and when the guards saw him, they bowed to pay respect to Yuichi.My clearer face caused the guards to be slightly surprised when they looked at me. They also bowed at me and apologized because they didnāt recognize me righ
Carla Christine POV-After washing and brushing my teeth, I put on my jacket. I took the whistle so I could wake up Yuichi.Yuichi and I had this routine for four weeks. I will train and the next day Yuichi will wake me up with a whistle. He wonāt stop whistling until I wake up and get ready for our morning jogging.Whatās a bit annoying about what he does when he wakes up for dinner is that he makes me tired in bed all night and then wakes me up in the morning as if he didnāt tire me out.This morning, I want to do some payback time on past mornings. Iām the one who annoys him now. The whistle I was going to use horrified me when I looked at it. Just looking at this thing sounds like a loudspeaker in my head.The moment I came out of the bathroom, surprise replaced my smile after I saw Yuichi standing with his arms crossed above all else, smiling as if he knew what I was planning to do.āGood morning, wife.ā He was still smiling at me.āWhy do you wake up so early?ā I looked at him
(AFTER FOUR YEARS...)..Carla Christine POV-Waiting for the big door in front of me to open, I took a deep breath. This is the day that Yuichi and I have been waiting for the mostāour wedding. A wedding that is not forced, a marriage that is full of love.As soon as the door opened, the people who attended our wedding applauded. They were all smiling and happy for Yuichi and me.While walking towards Yuichi, the people who are most important to us, who always help us struck me. Lance with his wife. Vince and Astrid who also got married three years ago. Edward, little by little, can move on with his feelings. Dylan is with Hanna, Blake sees as my younger brother, and we agree the mansion is his new home and he doesnāt need to leave.When I got to the front I was by Sir Alan Yamamoto, smile at me. Even before I gave birth, Yuichi planned with his father. Yuichi wonāt want our daughter to come out and our child will see that Yuichi has a grudge against his father, because Yuichi just
Carla Christine POV-THE NEXT DAY, we went to the Hart cemetery where Flame and Rachelās wake had been buried.Now I understand why my parents were buried here and why my auntie and uncle rushed to bury my parents before. Because of still know nothing about the real things that are happening in my familyāmy parents.āEdward.āI patted Edwardās shoulder, who was standing in front of Rachelās corpse.I feel bad about Edwardās situation. Rachel is my cousin. I am related to Rachel, but I feel more pain for Edward for Rachelās loss.Edward loved Rachel, but because of me he had to kill the woman, he loved himself.When Edward faced me, I quickly recognized that his eyes were red and the bottom of his eyes were sunken. It looks like he hasnāt really slept yet.Edward hugged me and I heard him sniff.I hugged Edward back and patted his back. āIām sorry, maāam, if I killed your cousin.āāI know youāre hurt more.ā I whispered back to Edward.I felt Edward nod.I am about to tell Edward that
Carla Christine POV-As I opened my eyes, the white ceiling came to my eyesight and I felt something in my hand.āYuichi...āHe was sitting next to me, his eyes closed as one hand held my hand. His legs cross.Yuichi had an unwrinkled forehead. He looks peaceful, at the same time is tired. Iām sure he had a hard time sleeping just sitting on one mono block chair.However, by looking at him, I felt comfortable.When I lost consciousness of fear for our baby and for him. My mind fought that I could not lose consciousness. My heart ached with the need to protect the baby and him, but my body failed me. And now, seeing Yuichi. I knew he wouldnāt let our baby be in danger, he wouldnāt let us both lose, so I was sure the baby was safe in my womb.Yuichi always feels and shows me assurance and will do everything just to maintain my safety.āYuichi...āI removed his hand from me, causing him to jump into his seat and wake up.Whereupon Yuichi opened his eyes. He looked straight at me.āOh, G
Carla Christine POV-When I woke up, I felt headaches at the same time as I also felt like iron in my feet and in my hand.I looked around and then my mind woke up after seeing where I was. I was in a large steel jail. I found my foot locked in iron and my hand handcuffed. I feel like Iām the beast of it.āMy dear cousin is awake.āāRachel? Youā¦ are alive? āShe laughed out loud. āI am alive and I have never died.āāBut Lance saidāāI suddenly shouted after Rachel slapped me.āDonāt mention Lanceās name. It is annoying that Lanceās name will come from your filthy mouth. Because of you, because of your coquettishness, Lance couldnāt love me! And for your question. Iām not dead. The car accident is not true. We plan to show that I died for Flameās back-up plan.āāBackup plan? What are you talking about?āāThe morning that your husbandāYuichi, took you, that day Flame nothing happened to us. And to the women Flame brings to his room. Nothing happened to him and the women. Letās just say
Carla Christine POV-After the glam team fixed me, I let them out first and, as soon as my maid of honor closed the door, we made the accessories I needed, my gun and my two daggers.āAre you sure no one knows about our plan?ā I asked Hanna again.Hanna nodded. āYes, maāam.āI narrowed my eyes at Hanna once I saw her gulp. In the over six months that Iāve been with Hanna, Iāve pretty much memorized her and Iām sure her gulping means something else.āHanna.ā My voice has a threatening sound.I was informed that no one else, maāam Christine. Promise.āHanna is a good woman. When I moved to Flameās care, we got along, especially when I found out how he ended up in the Fire organization. Like me, a member of the Fire organization bought her. The only difference is that someone bought her at an auction. Hannaās situation with her buyer took a turn for the worse until Lance intervened. Lance himself killed the one who hurt her. From that day Hannaās loyalty was to Lance, not to the Fire or
Carla Christine POV-Only SIX WEEKS passed when I agreed to the marriage. During those short weeks, we nearly completed and finalized the preparation for the next four days of Flame and my wedding.We rushed the wedding so that he can process the other documents we will need to go to another country. After the wedding, we will move to another country and live in Switzerland and stay there for good.The wedding will be minimalistic and straightforward. It was just an intimate wedding, but Flame took the time to ensure that I would feel that our marriage was not rushed.Today I am measuring my wedding gown. The design I chose was A line v-neck backless ruffles lace appliques wedding long dress, since Flame and I chose a beach wedding.āWow, babe. You look elegant. Right now, I want to marry you.āI looked at Flame widely. āDonāt be too excited.ā I laugh as I remind him.Flame stood up. āWhy wouldnāt I be excited? I will remove everything that will hinder our marriage.āāIām going to ch
Carla Christine POV-I TOOK my gun and pointed out who became the root cause of what happened to my parents. I pointed my gun without taking my eyes off this man.āIf you are my sonās love and you are my sonās happiness, I will accept the punishment you will give to me. But Iām begging you, donāt leave my sonāāI pulled the trigger of my gun but I just made sure that Mr. Allan Yamamoto will just feel the bullet of the gun.āYou have no right to ask for a favor!ā I screamed angrily.Iām ranging in madness that makes it difficult for me to breathe at the speed of my heartbeat.I removed the gunās focus and moved it to Yuichi. His father was the root of why my parentsā marriage broke up, but Yuichi was the one who killed my parents.Dammit. I wanted nothing other than to be killed by my own hands who killed my parents. Now they are standing in front of me. Itās like Iām losing strength because of the anger I feel towards them.Yuichi took his gun and placed it on the cold tile floor. āI
Carla Christine POV-The next almost half hour of Yuichi and I flight, I become silent until we get to the hospital owned by Vince.Throughout the flight I was wondering what Yuichi could have had for why he left there and no other eggs at that party?Dylan is still there. Was it possible that their intention was to blow the whole mansion? No. Lance and Hanna are still there who have been there close to me and taking care of me while I am in Flameās care.āChristine, what are you thinking?āYuichi removed placing my seatbelt. I didnāt notice was next to me and got out of the car.āSomething bothering you?āāDo you have something else to do?ā I straightforwardly question him. āTell me the truth.āI will never forgive myself if any harm befalls the two people who looked after me for six months when I was devastated.āNothing. I donāt have any plans. Iāll just want to treat your sprain first.āāNot that. At the party. What are you planning to do at the party?āāParty? I have no any plan
Carla Christine POV-āWhatever you do, no matter what you bet, I will never go with you, Yuichi.āI saw the smile on Yuichiās lips after. Slowly and carefully, he released my feet and then stood up.āThen, itās useless to stay here with you.āāWhat?ā My pair of eyes widened.Am I overwhelmed by my stagy or is Yuichiās patience shorter? No matter what the two are or for whatever reason, Yuichi should not leave me. He needs to stay in front of me.āBye.ā He even smiled as if he was teasing me. I turned to Yuichi. He seems to be serious about leaving me here. It canāt be.āOuch! Ouch!ā I cried enough to make sure Yuichi heard it so wouldnāt leave me.By saying that my feet were still hurting and I couldnāt walk, I raised my voice again until Yuichi got away and I couldnāt see him.I gasped, and I removed my gaze from his direction. He didnāt seem to intend to come back to me. I just need to send Flame a message to warn him.After sending my message to Flame, I sighed.I felt a great an
