Carla Christine POV-He straightened up while sitting. “What!?” Yuichi sowed. “What are you saying?”“I also want to learn how to fight, especially how to use all kinds of guns.” 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.“No.”Yuichi’s answer stunned me for a moment. I didn’t 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.“I will never allow you to hold a gun again. Lending you a gun was a mistake of mine. I shouldn’t have let you hold a gun,” he stated. “But, Yuichi. I have to learn to fight, too.”“You don’t 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.”“What? No. I’m not always by your side.”“Then, if it’s necessary that you don’t disappear by
Carla Christine POV-Yuichi let out a sigh.I’m not sure what Yuichi’s 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.“Damn, wife. How do you do this?”“Which one?”“You give me a reason to love you more.”He sounds happy.“What are you saying?”It’s hard to guess what is going through Yuichi’s mind and what he means by what he says. It is difficult to guess what is going through Yuichi’s mind and understand what he means by what he says.I think that in the next few days, Yuichi’s words should be the ones I should know, so that I don’t always wonder or ask questions.Yuichi kept his eyes fixed on me, never looking away. “You know how to use your position. I agree, I’m not just your husband, I’m 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.I’m not sure I’m going to be impressed with what Christine is showing. If I hadn’t memorized my wife, I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to read that she’s squirming in anger right now.I didn’t 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 can’t believe that he accepted me. My heart is overflowing with joy that because Christine found out the truth, she didn’t 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.“Are we still in the right direction?” I asked Yuichi.Before I fell asleep, I might have been on the highway, but now I can’t 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.“Yes, wife. We were still on the right road.”If Yuichi doesn’t confirm that we’re still on the right path, I’ll get scared. We came out of nowhere.“We’re here, wife.”I 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 didn’t 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 won’t stop whistling until I wake up and get ready for our morning jogging.What’s 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 didn’t tire me out.This morning, I want to do some payback time on past mornings. I’m 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.“Good morning, wife.” He was still smiling at me.“Why do you wake up so early?” I looked at him
Yuichi POV-After I taught the fundamentals how to hold a gun, thinking how to shoot the target, I gave Christine the gun she will use.“Do you remember everything I said?”Christine nodded. “Yes.” She answered.“Don’t hurt yourself.” I remind her. When Christine nodded, I put the headphones on her ears. I made sure it was fine before leaving her and going to the five eggs.It’s too early for Christine to use a gun, but I want to know how far she can go. Her skill in fighting, with a little more practice I can allow her to spar one on one with Edward and Dylan. Now, I want to know if she also holds a gun and uses it as easily as she can learn.During the time we saw Christine pointed the gun at her target , we focused on her and just as she fired the first shot, we stood up together after she hit the bullseye. Out of ten targets, eight are the bullseye and the other two are near to the bullseye.The way she uses the gun looks like she’s been using it for a long time. Now, I wonder w
Carla Christine POV-IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS of training, other things were difficult for me.I almost slept in the hideout. Yuichi rarely went to the hideout because of his busy schedule. He is still the president and CEO of one of the largest companies in this country.I’m simultaneously using different guns and fighting, adding different types of knives.Yuichi reminds me that the only weapon I can always use in battle is not the knife.Yuichi reminds me I can’t always have a gun in battle if I can’t have knives as well.“Break first, ma’am Christine.” Vince said that he is teaching me now.Just as Vince and I sat down on the floor, Dylan entered with Astrid carrying snacks.“Are those for us?” Vince asked.“What makes you so lucky?” Astrid said.“Then who are the snacks you brought for?” Vince asked innocently.“Probably for you and ma’am, Christine.” Astrid was running out of patience.“I thought the snacks weren’t ours?”Astrid rolled her eyes. “Let’s just say a stupid question d
Carla Christine POV-“Are we sure about what we’re going to do?” I nervously asked Asrtrid, who was with me outside the wedding venue of Yuichi and Samantha.“Yes, ma’am. It’s not that exciting, but it can be a grand entrance.” Astrid replied, laughing in a whisper.I just held my breath out of nervousness.I don’t intend to cause trouble, I don’t intend to introduce myself either, but the five eggs forced me to make a scene so that Edward, Vince and Dylan are wasting their time at their wedding. Yuichi and Samantha.We don’t have a concrete plan, we just want to make a big scene. Another thing is that I don’t know how to make this kind of plan.“Is everyone ready?” Astrid asked into our earplugs that were connected to each of us.Yuichi didn’t even know or have anything to do with this because after he left the hide-out he didn’t contact any of us, not even me. And even though there are people from the Dark organization inside, we are still careful, because there are only six of us
(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 most—our 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 doesn’t 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 won’t 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 Rachel’s 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 family—my parents.“Edward.”I patted Edward’s shoulder, who was standing in front of Rachel’s corpse.I feel bad about Edward’s situation. Rachel is my cousin. I am related to Rachel, but I feel more pain for Edward for Rachel’s 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 hasn’t really slept yet.Edward hugged me and I heard him sniff.I hugged Edward back and patted his back. “I’m sorry, ma’am, if I killed your cousin.”“I know you’re hurt more.” 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.“Yuichi...”He 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. I’m 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 wouldn’t let our baby be in danger, he wouldn’t 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.“Yuichi...”I 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.“Oh, 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 I’m the beast of it.“My dear cousin is awake.”“Rachel? You… are alive? ”She laughed out loud. “I am alive and I have never died.”“But Lance said–”I suddenly shouted after Rachel slapped me.“Don’t mention Lance’s name. It is annoying that Lance’s name will come from your filthy mouth. Because of you, because of your coquettishness, Lance couldn’t love me! And for your question. I’m not dead. The car accident is not true. We plan to show that I died for Flame’s back-up plan.”“Backup plan? What are you talking about?”“The morning that your husband—Yuichi, 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. Let’s 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.“Are you sure no one knows about our plan?” I asked Hanna again.Hanna nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”I narrowed my eyes at Hanna once I saw her gulp. In the over six months that I’ve been with Hanna, I’ve pretty much memorized her and I’m sure her gulping means something else.“Hanna.” My voice has a threatening sound.I was informed that no one else, ma’am Christine. Promise.”Hanna is a good woman. When I moved to Flame’s 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. Hanna’s situation with her buyer took a turn for the worse until Lance intervened. Lance himself killed the one who hurt her. From that day Hanna’s 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.“Wow, babe. You look elegant. Right now, I want to marry you.”I looked at Flame widely. “Don’t be too excited.” I laugh as I remind him.Flame stood up. “Why wouldn’t I be excited? I will remove everything that will hinder our marriage.”“I’m 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.“If you are my son’s love and you are my son’s happiness, I will accept the punishment you will give to me. But I’m begging you, don’t leave my son–”I pulled the trigger of my gun but I just made sure that Mr. Allan Yamamoto will just feel the bullet of the gun.“You have no right to ask for a favor!” I screamed angrily.I’m ranging in madness that makes it difficult for me to breathe at the speed of my heartbeat.I removed the gun’s focus and moved it to Yuichi. His father was the root of why my parents’ 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. It’s like I’m losing strength because of the anger I feel towards them.Yuichi took his gun and placed it on the cold tile floor. “I
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 Flame’s care.“Christine, what are you thinking?”Yuichi removed placing my seatbelt. I didn’t notice was next to me and got out of the car.“Something bothering you?”“Do you have something else to do?” I straightforwardly question him. “Tell me the truth.”I will never forgive myself if any harm befalls the two people who looked after me for six months when I was devastated.“Nothing. I don’t have any plans. I’ll just want to treat your sprain first.”“Not that. At the party. What are you planning to do at the party?”“Party? I have no any plan
Carla Christine POV-“Whatever you do, no matter what you bet, I will never go with you, Yuichi.”I saw the smile on Yuichi’s lips after. Slowly and carefully, he released my feet and then stood up.“Then, it’s useless to stay here with you.”“What?” My pair of eyes widened.Am I overwhelmed by my stagy or is Yuichi’s 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.“Bye.” He even smiled as if he was teasing me. I turned to Yuichi. He seems to be serious about leaving me here. It can’t be.“Ouch! Ouch!” I cried enough to make sure Yuichi heard it so wouldn’t leave me.By saying that my feet were still hurting and I couldn’t walk, I raised my voice again until Yuichi got away and I couldn’t see him.I gasped, and I removed my gaze from his direction. He didn’t 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
