LOGINThe video ended.
Huh. Toshiro sure had his way of getting information. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was hiding in the girl’s bathroom when this happened.
Tears spilled down Hina’s cheeks as she realized that all eyes were fixated on her. She could hear them calling her names like ‘whore’ and ‘slut’. Then saying things like ‘serves her right’ and ‘such a shame’. She was trembling, frozen on the spot.
“You’re all assholes!” Jan di screamed, rushing to help her friend who looked like she would collapse at any time. “What right do you have to do such a thing Toshiro? You’re such a jerk!”
“Ah ah, careful Jan di” I warned. I didn’t like defending Toshiro but I had to so I would seem normal to them. I always have their backs. “Take Hina and leave if you don’t want your own secrets exposed”.
Jan di shivered in fear, knowing it was something I can definitely do. Not wanting to face my wrath, she hurried away with Hina. I felt Hina should feel grateful. The humiliation she was going to face is not even half of what Aera suffered.
I made Toshiro air drop me the video then I anonymously sent it to Hina and Ren’s parents. I smiled. More trouble for them.
After Miss Park, I’ll focus on that stupid Jan di. Everyone who hurt Aera must pay.
I felt someone staring at me. I turned to see the new guy standing by a corner, dark eyes glaring coldly at me which sent a sudden chill down my spine.
Shit. What the hell did I do to this guy?
********
I woke up and stretched my limbs like a lazy cat, yawning silently. My vision was blurry so I rubbed my eyes to get my sight clearer, finger combing my messy hair as the sleeping female beside me came into view.
Mi ka or should we say, Miss Park was still fast asleep. The covers were bunched around her waist, exposing her small boobs which were decorated with dark red splotches. Ah, I went overboard with the hickeys.
She was exactly my type. Small and cute. I liked the tall and sexy ones too but the small ones were much better. They always looked innocent and shy. It’s what reels me in. This one though is evil inside. She made Aera suffer. Now, it was her turn.
I grabbed my phone from her nightstand and saved the voice record. She’d be shocked to hear her sweet moans all over the school by Monday. It wasn’t Monday yet but I was already excited. I could visualize her face. How shocked and heartbroken she’d be. How she’d cry in front of the whole class. Ah, humiliation. To let your students know what you sound like in bed. Ha! I couldn’t wait.
I had over a thousand messages on different social media apps and 6 text messages. The texts were little so I decided to check them first.
Yua
Hey. I'm still mad at you. We're still going shopping though.
Haruto
Yo Aito, party at 8 tomorrow. Sara's again. Wanna go? We could gather some dirt on her next.
Toshiro
Hey man! Wanna hang out today?
Sakura
Aito, Yua said shopping by 12 pm
Sara
Hey, sexy;) Party tomorrow night. Bring booze.
Mum
Hey baby. How are you? I know we said we'll be back by Sunday which is tomorrow but some problems came up in our branch in Africa. We'll be gone for two weeks. I've sent more money to your account. If you need anything, call me. Love you.
I sighed. I already had a feeling my parents wouldn’t make it. As usual. I know they love me with all their hearts. There’s nothing in the world they wouldn’t give me except... their undivided attention. I hated staying at home because it was cold and lonely. The maid, Mrs. Osamu visits thrice a day to cook me food and clean up the mansion. She’s old and hates kids so she ignores me whenever I try to start a conversation. That’s why I’d rather spend my nights with different girls or my friends.
Which reminded me that it was time to leave. I quickly put on my clothes, stuffed my phone and keys into my pocket, and left the house. I got into my car, a sleek black Chevrolet, and drove home.
My house was on A street. One of the streets in the city where rich people live. Including my group of friends but their houses were a bit far from mine. Mine was the biggest and most beautiful house of all. Courtesy of mum. She loves flaunting her wealth.
I got home and went upstairs to my room immediately. As usual, it was cold and deserted. I could remember how lively it used to be. Full of laughter and warmth. Her presence was everywhere. Memories of us opened like a blooming flower in my brain. The times we made out on my bed, the times she would sit on my desk, going through my homework to see if I did it right. In the mornings, I’d wake up to see her wearing my clothes, and god how sexy she always looks in them. The nights we’d watch movies and cuddle to sleep. The days she tried to curl my hair and I ended up tickling her. The way her sweet laughter filled my ears and gave me joy. The times she’d hug me and tell me everything was okay when I was down.
Now life was colourless. Bland. I would cry but my tear ducts had dried up long ago. I’m now empty. All I longed for was to be with her again. Which I will after I’ve avenged her. Everyone who caused her death would suffer.
I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I then threw on a pair of sweatpants and a black shirt. Deciding that I didn’t want to eat that old woman’s cooking, I grabbed my keys and drove to a restaurant called Munchies. My friends and I had been there a few times and their food was good.
The restaurant smelled sweet and my stomach let out a loud grumble. I was happy no one noticed. The place wasn’t full anyway. I could count how many were present on one finger.
Kento was dressed the same way and he followed Kenji in together with Aito who was pushing him on the wheelchair. The instant Haruto caught sight of Aito, his heart leaped in his chest. Though he had already seen the outfit during their trip to the mall and knew how striking it was, seeing it on Aito revealed its full glory. Aito was utterly captivating, making it impossible for Haruto to look anywhere else. For one instinctive moment, Haruto wanted to cross the room and go straight to him, maybe hug him or get a kiss but he knew he couldn’t do that without drawing attention to himself. His fingers tightened against the wall as he willed himself to remain standing. There would be time to get close to Aito later. He would make sure of it. And there was no way he was leaving the hotel today without Aito. The rest of the family members walked in, including Mrs Yamamoto. Her smile was graceful and her posture impeccable. She carried herself with high dignity, as if she wasn’t the wom
The Yamaguchis had not held an event in Tokyo in years and judging by the spectacle unfolding before Haruto, they had apparently decided that when they finally returned to the social scene, they would make certain no one forgot it.The Fuuji Hotel hall had been transformed in a way Haruto hadn't seen in years. The massive hall glowed beneath hundreds of crystal chandeliers, their light scattering across polished marble floors. Black and silver decorations stretched from the ceiling in elaborate arrangements, intertwined with deep crimson roses and delicate strands of crystal that shimmered whenever someone walked beneath them.Everywhere Haruto looked, there was wealth and he sneered in annoyance. Blood surely was thick. They had decorated the hall the same way Aito's mother liked to decorate. Too loud and lavish. He hated all those flashy decors. In the past, when he attended such events with Aito, he usually left some minutes after but today, he wasn't going to leave. Not without
Aito was dressed in an ice-blue suit that looked almost too beautiful to be called a suit. The fabric had a delicate, shimmering quality to it, catching the light with every slight movement. It reminded Ryu of the crystalline gowns Elsa wore in Frozen but this one was made into a masculine suit that fitted Aito perfectly. It was like it was made for him alone. The jacket was perfectly tailored, following the natural lines of his frame without looking restrictive and the trousers matched perfectly, falling neatly over his white shoes, while a pristine white shirt underneath softened the cool shade of the suit.His platinum-blond hair, dusted with tiny sparkly flecks that looked like freshly fallen snow, fell in soft waves around his face. Against the cool blue of his clothes, his hair made him look like someone who had stepped out of a winter fairytale and accidentally wandered into their living room.Fuck, Aito looked unreal. Kaito was a mad genius when it came to clothes though he wo
Meanwhile…After some minutes of heavy persuasion from Kenji and Yasu, Mrs. Yamamoto finally placed the lamp on a nearby table. She smoothed down her stunning peach-coloured dinner dress, fixed her shiny chestnut hair, then took a seat though her expression remained murderous as she kept glaring at Mr. Igarashi.“The next time he calls my son a whore, I won't let it slide.” she seethed.Mr. Igarashi immediately opened his mouth to retort but Yasu slapped a hand over his mouth and made him sit down. “Sir, you don't have to reply to everything she says. Please, let's end this now. We still have a lot to discuss.”Mr. Igarashi glared at him, clearly not satisfied but after a moment, he simply huffed and remained silent. It was better not to argue with a mad woman.Seeing that Mr Yoongi wasn’t going to say anything else, Yasu sighed in relief and retracted his hand. Damn. They were behaving like kids, bickering every chance they got. No. He shook his head. They were worse than kids becaus
He made a move to leave but Kenji blocked his path with his body, stopping him from leaving. They had almost the same build and height so Ryu couldn't just pass the narrow way."You're blocking the hallway." he said, his voice low. He didn't want Aito to know he was peeping but it seemed like Kenji didn't care because he even raised his voice."What?""I said move." Ryu growled.Kenji's eyebrows rose. For a second, neither of them moved, then Kenji stepped forward instead. "I asked you a question.""I heard you." Ryu replied, not moving an inch."And?""I don't remember asking you for relationship advice." Ryu said, staring Kenji straight in the eyes. He knew Kenji didn't like him one bit and wanted Aito to break up with him but he wasn't going to let that happen. He wasn't going to let Kenji intimidate him as well. The guy kept ridiculing their relationship and he was hardly in one himself."What Aito and I do is up to us," Ryu continued, his voice low and firm. "Just be rest assured
Just moments ago, Aito had been annoyed by what Ryu wanted them to do but now, that irritation dissolved completely. It melted away beneath the sight of the man he loved falling apart right in front of him.Aito hadn't realised that Ryu had been carrying this much fear in him. This much guilt and self-loathing. His heart clenched painfully. Without hesitation, he scooted closer until their knees brushed."Ryu..." he whispered, his voice impossibly gentle. He lifted both hands and carefully cupped Ryu's face.Ryu instinctively leaned into the warmth of his palms, closing his eyes and taking in a deep breath for Aito's closeness seemed to calm him down. He snaked his arms around Aito's waist and brought them closer. The erratic beating of his heart slowed and the trembling of his body eased.Aito's thumbs brushed over his cheeks, catching the tears as they fell. He wiped them away one by one even as his own eyes began to sting. "I can't believe you've been carrying all of this by yourse
Aito's heart dropped down to the pit of his stomach and his breath seized as he imagined the whole scene. The kinds of things his friends had done to drive a girl to end her own life. The mental and physical torture she must have gone through. He couldn't stop the tears that flowed down his cheeks.
Toshiro had just finished arguing with a couple of his workers for breaking some very important equipment they needed to use today. He was exhausted, irritated and furious as he'd have to buy them all over again, with his own money. But that wasn't what annoyed him the most. It was actually the fac
There was a collective gasp then complete silence. Ryu's thunderous heart slowly calmed to the normal beat and his eyes welled with hot tears. He sunk to his knees beside the coffin and gazed inside with a shaky smile.Within the coffin was empty space. Not a single thing could be found. Not even a
"Poor Ryuho..." Aito mumbled. "He must have suffered a lot these five years..." Aito now realised why Ryu had cried and hugged him like that. He felt even worse.Kaito's brow twitched. 'Poor Ryuho?' he thought, giving Aito a complicated look. 'The person you should pity is yourself!'But Aito felt
