At my question, Mr Igarashi finally released me then stood straight. He stayed there until he slowed his breathing and schooled his expression. "What do I want from you?" he asked then laughed. He raised a hand then patted my hair. "Ah, I want so many things from you Aito. I want to see you in pain. On one hand, I just want to fucking kill you right now and on the other, I want to torture you till you beg for death. I want you to suffer like my daughter suffered""No! Aito has suffered enough!" Yua wailed. "D-Don't hurt him anymore! I-It wasn't him. It was us. It was Sakura and I that hurt her the most out of jealousy. Aito even tried to protect her. He-""Silence!" Mr Igarashi snapped and she immediately shut her mouth. "You think he's the only one I'm going to punish? I'm coming for you sweetheart. Don't worry" Yua visibly paled as she shrunk back, as if her presence would be hidden from him by doing that."You know, that friend of yours, Sakura, is very lucky" he said, meeting my
Mr Igarashi was enraged. "What do you think you're doing, Ryuho?". He tried to remove his hand but Ryu just held it tighter."You can't kill him father" he answered and the hope that had been been extinguished in me was ignited once again.Tears of joy ran down my face. Ryu stopped him. Ryu stopped him!Does this mean Ryu couldn't bear to see me dead? Does this mean he had even a sliver of feelings for me? Does this mean we still had a chance?"Ryuho, what are you doing?" Tobio asked as he stepped up. "Let go""Oh you shut up" Kaito snapped, pulling Tobio back. Tobio tried to break free but Yasu grabbed him by the collar and held him in place."Stay here like a good boy" he said, patting Tobio's hair. "Do not interfere between father and son""Let go of me this instant!" Mr Igarashi commanded, trying but failing to free himself. "What the fuck has gotten into you? Don't tell me his little speech has softened you. Or have you developed some kind of feelings for him?"My hope burned br
I cared. But I couldn't."Aito was unwell" we suddenly heard Mum, who has been silent all these while, say. "He was undergoing medication for PTSD and major symptoms of Schizophrenia"Everyone went silent."We kept it a secret from the world" she continued. Her voice was low and strained but it could be heard clearly in the quiet room. "We had no idea Aito loved Aera so much. To the point that after her death, he broke down. He changed completely. At first, there were minor changes in his behaviour. Like spacing out occasionally, repeating meaningless words, eating less than he used to. His father and I weren't here at that time so Mrs Osamu was the one who updated us on his condition. We didn't take it seriously for we thought those were normal signs of a person in mourning until he spaced out in school one day and nearly fell off the building. If it weren't for Haruto then, I'm afraid my baby wouldn't be alive right now"She began to cry and it hurt to see her that way. I had no ide
"Oh my God, Aito, I'm so sorry. So that's what Dr Desai and your mum were arguing over today" Kaito said, wiping his tears. "I didn't know. I'm sorry"I couldn't help but smile. "Come on. We didn't know each other when it all happened. What are you sorry for? Stop crying. It's all in the past"He nodded but still kept on crying. Yasu had to hug him tight. "Does Ryuho know all of this?" he asked me while making soothing circles on Kaito's back.I shook my head. "He probably doesn't. And I don't want him to know""But he should" Yasu said. "I understand why you became that way Aito. Even I don't know what will happen to me if I lose Kaito so yeah, I totally get it. And I believe you because I've seen the way you love Ryuho. He should know that you really loved his sister. He should know that you weren't behind her death""Aren't I though?" I asked. "I was careless and let someone record us. I should have been able to protect her""You can't do everything Aito" Kaito said. "How would you
Warning: Violence.Ryu strolled directly before dad, looking so cold that it made my heart thump with fear but dad didn't cower. He raised his head and glared at him straight on. "I've dealt with stupid kids like you" he sneered. "Inexperienced little shit heads that come crying for revenge. You think you can scare me Ryu? You think because you found out the truth that I'll what? Cry and beg for mercy? Fall on the ground and lick your feet? Beg for forgiveness?"With every word dad spoke, Ryu's frown deepened further. I had a bad feeling. A very very bad feeling. Like things would go very wrong.He chuckled. "Well you're gravely mistaken Ryu" dad continued with a smirk. "I do not regret a single action of mine. Who asked your parents to plunge into a world they knew nothing of? I was even kind hearted enough to offer them a way out. I tried to negotiate with them but no. They preferred their so called dignity over my money. You know what? Your meddling father got what he deserved. I'm
"You think we're afraid?" Mum shouted. "We don't fucking care! Come at us with all you've got! We're the Yamamotos and there's nothing we can't handle! Ryu, if we manage to get free, just run. Run as far as you can and hide from us because if we get you, you'll wish you were never born! I'll personally grind you to dust! I will- ah!"In the blink of an eye, Ryu swiftly snatched the gun in Tobio's hand and pointed it at mum who cried out in shock. "You will what?" he asked, raising a brow. "You will what?!"Mum went silent. Her eyes were wide, staring at the gun like it would go off anytime. It was so obvious that she was scared shitless.He cocked the gun. "Speak!"That single command made us all tremble. Was he really going to shoot?"Y-You wouldn't dare!" she spat. "A-Aito won't give you what you want"Ryu laughed like it was the funniest thing he heard all day. "You know what Mrs Yamamoto, the secrets of your study are not what I want but what father wants. That's why you're still
"Are you done?" Ryu suddenly asked, as if everything they had been saying was utter nonsense and he couldn't wait for them to shut up.Ryu...He suddenly chuckled then gazed at me. "I was gone for a few minutes and you manged to brainwash my own friends". He took a few steps towards me and the corners of his lips raised up a little. It was a smile that wasn't a smile. "Commendable"I shook my head in disbelief. "T-That wasn't- I-I-"Although, I shouldn't be surprised" he continued. "You have that charm"Huh? I have that charm? What did he mean?"Ryuho, you're misunderstanding" Yasu said. "Just calm down and listen to us first""Yes. Nothing like that happened" Kaito added."And how will you know?" He turned back to Yasu and Kaito. "It happens before you even know it. You look into his eyes and with just a few words, he makes you feel.... anyway, it doesn't matter. You two should leave""But Ryuho, are you really not going to give Aito a chance?" Kaito asked. "You can't tell me that al
But, what will happen to me after? Will Mr Igarashi honour his promise and let me be with Ryu? No matter what, I still wanted that more than anything.I stood up but a wave a intense dizziness crashed over me and I felt my body falling forward but before I made contact with the ground, a familiar strong arm seized my waist and my body came in contact with that familiar body.My head was directly on his hard chest, his arm like a vice around my waist, my senses surrounded by his breezy scent and my body, soaking in his warmth.I closed my eyes and it felt like I was transported back to the past. When I had no idea who he really was. When I was just falling for him. When everything was still alright.Ryu saved me. He saved me from getting stabbed by Mr Igarashi and now, he saved me from falling.I was confused. Does Ryu hate me or not?If he does, why would he save me twice?What were his real feelings?I slowly raised my head up and our eyes met. My heart sunk to my stomach. There was
Next was a person Ryu really didn't want to see. They hadn't even met since the day Aito passed away. It was Masaki Toshiro and Ryu felt sudden anger at seeing him alive and well. Back then, Ryu badly wanted to ruin him but he remembered that Aito had already forgiven him. Ryu couldn't bear to wrong the right that Aito did so he let Toshiro go. He just didn't expect to see him now.Toshiro was dressed fashionably. His black suit was from the latest Fuuji collections. Ryu knew because he kept up with news of all companies rated 1-10 in the world. Fuujis were rated 5. The Masakis were rated 7.Last was the person who invited them all, Yamaguchi Kenji. He was tall and very good-looking. With chestnut brown hair, gelled back professionally. Dressed in a simple plain three piece black suit. He had on a doting expression as he seemed like he was gently trying to persuade the man in the face mask to do something. As Ryu and Tobio were getting closer, they could hear the conversation."...you
Facing Nori's back, seeing the head of platinum blonde hair, Ryu's heart calmed and he started to fuck Nori. It was slow, the way Nori could take. Any faster and Nori would start to cry. Ryu didn't want to care but seeing that hair colour and hairstyle, he couldn't bear to hurt him so he endured and went with it.Nori was in absolute bliss. The hot member inside him, though covered with a condom, was hitting his prostrate with every thrust. Ryu's chest was sticking to his back like glue. Those strong arms were holding his body tight. He felt loved and protected. It didn't matter that he couldn't kiss Ryu due to the ball gag. He had long learned that Ryu didn't like kissing but he still loves Ryu the same.His body was shaking with pleasure. Ryu did him just how he liked it. It was romantic and passionate. Ryu knew how to please him well and it made him very happy. The room was filled with his soft moans alone and the rustling of the sheets. Ryu never made a sound. From beginning to en
Ryu was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't know when Nori had joined him on the balcony until he felt the boy's bony arms around his waist. Ryy stiffened instantly. Aito's arms weren't this bony and Aito mostly used to hug him by wrapping his arms around his neck not the waist. Ryu didn't like it. The arms felt uncomfortable around his waist.Feeling Ryu stiffen up, Nori frowned and retracted his arms, thinking Ryu wasn't in the mood. He started to scold himself. What was he thinking? Ryy had just come back from the cemetery. He was still sad. He won't be in the mood to do other things. He felt so stupid.As he kept berating himself, Ryy turned to find Nori wearing a short white soft robe, looking sad. But Ryy wasn't affected at all. The hair colour and hair style might be the same, but the face was completely different."What is it?" Ryy asked, annoyed. "You should be in bed. Don't stay up late""Same goes for you" Nori boldly replied. He didn't want to sleep without Ryu. He
With one last look at Aito's picture, Ryu and Tobio walked out of the cemetery. When they got to the black Jeep parked by the gate, a boy was leaning on the car, furiously typing on his phone. It was a group chat with his best buddies in college. Nori: I'm telling you guys, he has been in that place for more than three hours now. And he deliberately left his phone in the car so I wouldn't call him. What kind of boyfriend is this?JJ: Hey don't be like that. For him to spend that much time in there, it just means the person is very important to him. Why don't you ask who the person is?Seiji: I agree. Maybe he went to see his parents. I heard they passed away when he was a child.Nori didn't think so at all. He was extremely upset.Nori: Then why didn't he take me along? He could have introduced us. After all, we're together.Enji: Maybe he's not ready. I mean, he's Igarashi Ryuho. You're dating a big shot. Why don't you be more patient?Seiji: Yeah patience is the key Riri. In all th
From chapter 156, the book will no longer be in Aito's POV.5 years later...It was exactly 11:48pm. At that time of night, a dark haired man was crouched before a tombstone, his dark eyes staring intensively at the picture frame resting against it, as if the person in the picture would suddenly come to life.The person in the picture had a mischievous grin on his face. His dark brown eyes were sparkling with a hidden intent, as if he was about to play a prank. His platinum blonde hair was neatly combed, framing his beautiful face. There were freckles scattered over his nose and cheekbones which made him look so adorable.The dark haired man couldn't believe that he would never see the boy in the picture again. He couldn't believe he would never hear his voice again, touch him again, eat with him again, hear him laugh again. His heart was filled with so much pain and agony. Even after five years, it was still fresh. As if it was inflicted at that very moment."Aito..." he whispered, t
I chuckled. She didn't even need to say more. I'm sure everyone understood what she wanted to do. Force me into marriage and then make me responsible for another man's seed. Wow. "Impressive" I commended. "Truly a mastermind"Ryu and I were already together then. So I refused immediately. What if I hadn't? I would be thinking that Yua was carrying my child.To be honest, even after hearing her confession, the anger I thought I would feel was nowhere to be found. I couldn't even find the strength to deal with her. What would it bring me anyway? It's not like Ryu would just start loving me."I can't help you Yua" I told her. "If it were only about me, then maybe I'll be able to forgive you. But it's not just me. There's Aera, my parents, and Haruto. Not to forget Sara, Dai, Sakura and her mum. Their blood is on your hands. If you hadn't done all those, they all would be alive today. There's Mr Igarashi too. If there's anyone you should beg then it's him. I can do nothing for you""Aito
She continued. "I spread the rumour that she cheated on Aito and broke his heart. Knowing how much Aera loved Aito, people were reluctant to believe it. Despite that video! So I formulated another plan. Toshiro was the called the 'Gossip Lord'. If I wanted things to escalate, he was the perfect choice and he was a tangible source. Everyone believes his news. I then went on with my second plan. I brainwashed Toshiro into thinking it was true and with his help, I uploaded her videos on many porn sites. I also shared her number and address so people could find her. I watched her moves and trapped her in places where guys from our school would molest her. I even took pictures of her taking a shower in the girls bathroom after P.E and circulated them with his help. We called it out revenge plan for cheating on Aito. Slowly, things started to fall apart between them. I waited patiently until everything drove her to her lowest point and then I struck. I called her and told her that I had som
Tobio snickered. "Who do you think our Boss is?""I'm equally as powerful as Mr Yamamoto" Mr Igarashi replied confidently. "If he can commit crimes and get away with them, then I can do the same. Denying our involvement in all this will not be hard. Especially after we give evidence of his crimes. Any more questions, Toshiro?"Toshiro gritted his teeth but remained silent. He looked at me and I smiled, stunning him. He shouldn't worry himself over such matters anymore. I've already let go. It will be better if he did too."Boss, Aito tricked Ryuho" Tobio suddenly said. "He only gave Ryuho the files containing his father's death and erased the rest. Ryuho was angry. That was what caused the fight"If Mr Igarashi was just angry before, now, he was extremely furious. He scoffed. "I should have known not to trust a Yamamoto. You're all the same. You were here crying about how much you love my son but you betrayed him the first chance you got! You're nothing but a bunch of liars and deci
Despite the dizziness and my nauseous state, I mustered every ounce of strength in my body and moved as fast as I could towards my mum. I pressed down the bile clogging my throat and blinked to clear my sight. Fuck. Everything was so blurry. Please, please, give me a bit more time. I need to save them.I already knew what Ryu was planning and I definitely could not let it happen. He wanted to end my parents the same way his father died. He wanted to burn us all."Aito!" Mum exclaimed when I reached. She looked so relieved. I moved to the side so she wouldn't see the blood slowling tricking down the side of my head. "Oh thank God. I thought he did something to you. We heard your screams. Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"With those questions, my inner thighs burned. As if they wanted to complain about what Ryu did but I shook my head. "It was just a misunderstanding mum. I'm fine""Thank God" she sniffed. My heart went soft. She was already crying. "I thought he was beating you o
