Yuichi POV-The crowd cheered as Flame’s fiance walked to the center, escorted by Flame’s brother, Lance Hart, my old friend.I didn’t take my eyes off Flame’s fiancee, Carla Christine Zabala. Not only does she look like my wife’s name, but every angle of her face and body looks like my wife.Fuck. She is not Flame’s fiance, Carla Christine Zabala is my wife. She is only mine.I clenched my jaw. My fist clenched when Christine approached Flame and kissed that bastard.“Boss, calm down. Don’t make a scene.” Edward reminded me.Christine and I looked at each other for a second, and in that fucking second, I was sure she was my wife. I can’t accept that my wife won’t come with me. I’m ready to start a war right now just to get my wife back.“Let’s enjoy this night,” her voice. Damn.How I miss her calm tone of voice.After the two’s speech, I still couldn’t take my eyes off Christine. I will never take my eyes off my wife until I touch her and when I touch her, I will not allow someone
Yuichi POV-“Change plans.”By change plan, I mean we’re going to make a scene and that’s getting my wife back from the hands of the asshole Flame.Six months missing her and being separated from me is enough. Now that I have seen my wife, I will make sure that she will be with me again. Even if I make war on everyone here, I will.“Yes, boss.” Edward replied with a grin.Even if the five eggs don’t say it, I know they are just as surprised as I am and are just waiting for my permission to take action.We don’t have a plan on how to get Christine, however, before we attend this party we have plan A and Plan B. Plan and, we won’t make any scene. And for Plan B, if it is unavoidable not to make a mess, the hidden speed boat vehicles are ready in the vicinity that we have prepared and we have some time to go there.If it wasn’t for Christine, I wouldn’t have stayed at this party. After that scene, there were people who laughed at me and made me realize one thing. I hadn’t been able to
Yuichi POV-I took a deep breath as I slowly suppressed my laughter. Christine wasn’t really afraid of me, but the way she looked at me was like I was the weirdest person she had ever seen.“Sorry for that. I felt better after you accepted my apology.” I took a deep breath.I can’t contain my happiness. I think seeing Christine in good shape is reason enough to stretch my patience until I can get her out of Flame’s hands.“Boss, aren’t you crazy yet? I will not replace you in the Dark organization yet?”I glared at Edward. How dare he call me crazy in front of Christine?“Just kidding.” Edward took back what he was saying.I looked back at Christine. I clear my throat again before speaking again.“Please excuse me, I have to go to the comfort room.” Christine mumbled.“I’ll come with you, babe.”Fucking asshole Flame. What right does he have to call my wife like that?“No need, babe. I’ll just be with Lance.”“Okay. Call me if you need anything.”Christine nodded. She glanced at me b
Yuichi POV-From the upper deck, I looked at Christine and Flame as they were talking. Christine didn’t just smile, she laughed while talking to this asshole Flame.Christine has been missing for six months and I can’t find her. Does that mean Flame is with her all this time? Is he happy with Flame? She’s laughing with Flame? Flame lets him touch her?Fuck. I won’t let Flame touch Christine anymore. Never again and never again will Christine be able to leave my hands.“Sir, whiskey?”I handed the whiskey without looking at the server. I fucking need this until Christine leaves Flame’s hands. The whiskey was sipped straight and returned to the server.Just a fucking moment Christine will be mine again. Just a fucking moment.When my phone rang, I immediately answered Dylan’s call. “Boss, everything is set. The moment Flame leaves ma’am Christine’s side, we will get ma’am Christine.”“Good. Make sure you don’t mess.”“Sure, boss.” It’s Edward. “I’ll feed myself to the sharks when we me
Yuichi POV-In a snap, the anger I was feeling disappeared when Christine’s eyes widened. I came to her and held her hand.“Wife...”Christine stared at my face. She seemed to remember what happened until her gaze shifted to my hand holding her hand. She removed it and got up.“Where am I?” she pointed at Astrid. “You pushed me? Who are you?”“What?” Astrid asked with a frown. “Do you have amnesia or something?”“Get out first Astrid.” My order.When Astrid left the room, I shifted my full attention to Christine. It felt like my heart was being pierced into a million pieces while seeing Christine’s face and her arm that was now covered by a sleeve.“Why am I wearing this? You changed my clothes?”“Y-Yes.”“What!? Did you see my naked body!?”“I had to make you comfortable to sleep like that?”“How could I be comfortable if you saw my whole body?”“It’s not new to see your whole body. I mean, I have seen your body for a long time, many times already–”“I don’t even remember you! I don
Carla Christine POV-WHEN I entered Flame’s car, I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. It was like waterfalls that one by one all the tears fell from my eyes.Fuck him. I want to believe what Yuichi says, but with the amount of lies and things he did before, it’s very hard for me to believe him. Even when he says he loves me, I can’t believe it anymore.I want to stop these fucking tears. I want to stop this pain. If Flame hadn’t come, I might not have been able to prevent myself from hugging Yuichi earlier—that would have been messed up.“Does Yuichi still love you?” Flame asked next to me.I nodded. “Yes. He knelt down and cried in front of me just so I could stay with him.”I felt his smile. “That idiot. Did he think that this time he could single me out?”What happened tonight was planned. From introducing me to everyone and seeing Yuichi’s reaction, to letting Yuichi take me to see his genuine reaction and feelings for me. Even the CCTV footage that Blake had hacked was a plan
Carla Christine POV-It turned out that I had SLEPT inside the car and it looks like Flame carried me again to my room in his mansion.I opened my eyes when I felt the bed sink a little between my waist.“Flame!”My heart skipped a beat as his name escaped my lips, shocked by the sight of him looming over me. One of his knees was between my thighs and what surprised me even more was his naked upper body. I’m not that amazed by his fit six-pack abs because Yuichi’s body is fitter and has better curves.How great! Thinking of Yuichi in this kind of situation.“What are you doing?” I ask him, even though it’s obvious what Flame wants to happen.“Christine, you know how much I like you. It’s been six damn months.” He seemed to catch his breath.I grabbed Flame’s chest to stop him from kissing me.“You know I’m not ready for this, Flame.”Flame, close his eyes for a second, to be sure to swallow his anger.Flame is like this every time I refuse him to have intercourse. At first he hurt me
Carla Christine POV - “STOP THE CAR AND GET ME DOWN!” I shouted again. Yuichi glanced at me and scanned the road again. “I missed your scream, but not like that.” I felt my whole face turn red from what he said. As far as I remember, I didn’t yell at him again when we got along, and that’s the only yell I make whenever I moan his name. “Remember how you yelled my name?” “Shut up!” I answered emphatically. Yuichi pulled me earlier and the next thing I knew he dragged me to his car and I couldn’t get out because he locked every door of the car. “Put me down!” For the ninth time, I demand again. It wasn’t in the plan that I would kidnap Yuichi and have him solo me. Jealousy will consume Flame if he catches a glimpse of it, just like me. “When I put you down, you have nowhere to go. Besides, it looks like you’re carrying only yourself.” I pulled my attention away from Yuichi when I felt my phone vibrate in my jacket pocket. When I saw Flame’s name on the screen, I i
(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
