23: Making a scene

Daniel is resting inside his room when a staff member suddenly picks him up. "No.2, you have a client. Please be prepared," the male staff said.

Daniel's mood plummets. It has been a week since he met with Ian. He can never forget that night. He wanted to bury the memories of that night deep in his heart because he thought after that, he would still receive clients as usual.

But unexpectedly, in a week, he was never called to serve clients. He was delighted but still, he felt restless. As if something worse is waiting for him.

And now, after a week suddenly he was called again. Daniel keeps praying that the client is at least sane, not someone who is into BDSM play because he really hated that.

Daniel takes a bath and wears the usual thin white shirt and tight black pants. He walks to the suite where the client is waiting with heavy steps. He takes a deep breath before ringing the bell of the suite and pushing open the door.

Daniel is staring at the floor all the time so he didn't notice the client who is standing in the middle of the room. He just noticed the black pants and black leather shoes.

"Hello, I am No.2. I will be serving you today," he calmly said his usual intro. He didn't greet the customer by his name because the staff didn't inform him.

Daniel keeps looking at the floor until the man in front of him says, "Danny." Daniel instantly lifts his head. His eyes widened.

Ian spreads out his arms, "Don't you miss me? I miss you."

Not wasting any time, Daniel runs into the embrace that he missed so much. Both of them didn't say anything and just enjoyed each other's warmth.

Ian carries Daniel to the couch in the living room of the suite. He lets Daniel sit on his lap and they keep hugging each other.

"How have you been doing?" Ian asks while caressing Daniel's head.

Daniel nods, "Good." He lifts his head and meets Ian's eyes. "You?"

"Good. Busy with work as usual." Ian hesitates for a moment but he continues asking, "Lately... do you still need to... serve clients?"

Daniel shakes his head vigorously and he smiles widely. "Nope. Since last week, I have never been called to serve clients. Somehow, it scares me."

"Why?"

"Well, that old man must have other plans. If not, why would he allow me not to serve clients? He will never allow even one cent loss."

Ian chuckles. "Don't worry. I bet nothing will happen. Just relax, okay?"

Daniel frowns and squints. "How can you be so sure? Did you...have anything to do with this?"

Ian never has the intention to keep it secret from Daniel. Ian hums, "I have reserved you, especially just for me. You will never receive any other clients than me. If that old man asked you to serve other men, he would pay for the consequences."

Daniel's eyes widened. His face was a mix of shocked, happy and confused.

Shocked because who is the real Ian? How powerful was he until he managed to make Hamada Kenji listen to his request?

Happy because he can still meet and be with Ian and he doesn't need to be with other men.

Confused because they just met one time and they never had any other encounter. So why would Ian be so nice to him?

"Hey, what's wrong? You didn't like it when I did that?" Ian can't help but ask when he saw the sullen face.

"N- no. It's just... Why are you so nice to me? I'm dirty. I can never give you anything and what if I lied to you? How can you believe me so easily?"

Ian pulls Daniel's head and lets it lean on his shoulder. "It might sound weird and unbelievable but I feel some kind of attraction towards you. I want to get to know you better. I don't care if you can't give me anything because I never hope for anything in return. You're not dirty because you never hoped for this to happen to you and you were forced. Lastly, I know you're not lying and I trust you."

Both of them keep cuddling before going to the bedroom and having intense sex. Ian stays in the suite and keeps Daniel company until Sunday night. He wanted to stay until Monday morning but he didn't bring his working outfit and stuff.

Ian promised that he will keep on coming every weekend. Daniel is not allowed to go out of the building so Ian can only bring things that he wanted to give to Daniel every time he came.

.......

Months passed and Kevin feels Kenji has stopped or maybe momentarily pushed aside his aim to find Yuki as he was busy with the project between Evo Org. and Hina Corp.

Since Kenji pulls back his lackey from snooping around his mansion, Alex is allowed to come again and teach Yuki face-to-face.

Kevin thought he could finally feel a breather when Kenji was distracted but he didn't expect a pest to keep pestering him.

April has come to Tsujihara mansion many times. She never gave up until she was allowed to enter the house. Even if she passed the main gate, she won't be allowed to pass the front door when Aunty Emma and two bodyguards guard the door.

Aunty Emma keeps asking her to stop coming over and making a scene. Kevin already mentioned not allowing her to enter the house.

April was still acting calmly when Aunty Emma talked to him. She knew Aunty Emma since she was young so she knew how important she is to the Tsujihara mansion. However, she started to lose her temper when she saw who came down to see what was happening.

"Y- You slut! How can you be here?! Kevin never allowed his one-night stand to come to his house. How can you enter?!"

April turned to the two bodyguards and tried to push them to Yuki. "Hey, get rid of him! Take him out of this house! A whore like him shouldn't be allowed to step into this house!" She keeps screaming like a crazy woman.

Yuki blinks his eyes and looks at her with a questioning stare. The two bodyguards and Aunty Emma look at each other, dumbfounded. They were like, 'Should we tell her? She's the one who was prohibited from entering. Will she even believe it if we say Mr. Yuki had been staying for almost a year?'

Aunty Emma nudges one of the bodyguards' arms and points at April with her chin, asking the bodyguard to handle her. She then pulls Yuki into the house, away from the trouble.

Seeing Yuki being taken away by Aunty Emma, further into the house, April tries to barge in and screams hysterically, "YOU! GET OUT OF HERE! YOU'RE A SLUT DON'T DESERVE TO STAY HERE! I'M GOING TO BE A MADAM IN THIS HOUSE! YOU! LISTEN TO ME!"

She struggles roughly and bodyguards were having a hard time handling her. They didn't want to accidentally hurt her, which will cause her to make a worse scene but she was too hard to handle gently.

"Don't touch me! Where do you think you're touching?! I'm going to complain to Kevin and you will be fired!"

The bodyguards lift both her arms and drag her away. They pushed her to her car and one of the bodyguards said, "Please don't call Mr. Yuki like that. He is our future 'madam' so please respect that. If Miss has anything to complain about, feel free to tell Mr. Kevin what happened today. If you don't have time, I can personally tell Mr. Kevin. Don't worry."

April clenches her fist and scoffs. She gets into her car and leaves the mansion grounds. She speeds up to her house.

As soon as she reaches Stewart's villa, she looks around. When she noticed, no one is outside, she shuts her eyes tightly then slaps her arms so hard until it is reddened. Then, she gets out of the car as if nothing happened, enters the house and wails, calling her mom.

Maria Stewart who is watching her favorite show was startled when her beloved daughter came home and cried.

"Oh, my baby! What's wrong? What happened? Come on, tell me." Maria became anxious as April hugged her and cried on her chest.

April sniffs and wipes off the tears, "I- I went to Kevin's house just now and the slut is there!"

Maria frowns, "The slut? You mean..' the boyfriend' that Kevin said?"

"No! I'm sure he is not truly Kevin's boyfriend. I bet Kevin just paid him to pretend to be his partner. But that slut dared to humiliate me!"

Maria's face turns grim. She doted on her daughter so much to the point she never even mad or hit her but someone else dared to humiliate her daughter. "What does he do?"

April grips on her arm and wince, as if it was punched, kicked and thrown to the wall. "He forbade me from getting into the house then he asked the bodyguards to throw me out. Well...can't blame the bodyguards because they are just doing their job. It was all that slut's fault!"

Maria has a look at her daughter's arms and both sides are so red! It almost looks like bruising. Maria clenches her fist.

"We can't let this happen. Let me call your dad," Maria is about to take her phone to call her husband but April in panic instantly takes it away from her hands.

"M- Mom... no need to tell dad. He never really trusts us. I bet he will say I was trying to make up a story. Kevin trusted that slut and dad trusted Kevin more than us. In the end, it will lead to nothing even if we tell this matter to dad." April tried to convince her mom.

Maria lightly nods a few times. "You're right. Sometimes I wonder who is your dad's real family. He trusted his friend's son more than his daughter. Hmph!"

April scoots closer to her mother and takes both of her hands, gently caressing them to soothe her anger. "We just need to show him proof that that guy is not as good as they thought."

Maria knitted her eyebrows. "How would you do that? We don't know how his schedule is, we don't know where his 'real' home is, we don't know what he does and we don't even know when he will go out meeting other men. That unknown guy just popped out of nowhere and suddenly claimed he is Kevin's boyfriend."

April's corner mouth raised. "Don't worry about that. I will ask someone to find out everything about him. There is nothing that that person cannot find out."

Maria just raised her eyebrows and sighs. "Fine. I hope you can handle him as soon as possible. Your wedding with Kevin has been delayed for too long. I just can't wait to hold my grandkids."

April smiles bashfully when her mother teases her about babies. She imagines how nice it will be to be "Mrs. Tsujihara", doing it with Kevin, getting pregnant with Kevin's kids, living in a respected household.

April already planned in her mind that as soon as Kevin is tied to her, she will always come and accompany Kevin to the office. In that way, she could show off her status as the "Madam" and she will remove any pests that will try to seduce her husband.

Well, that's for the future which will happen soon. But for now, he needs to destroy the first pest.

April excused herself, pretended that she needed to rest and recuperate. Maria asked the maid to bring an ice pack to April's room to ease the bruises on her arms.

April throws herself on the bed and snickers. 'Just you wait, slut. I'm going to take back what's supposed to be mine!'

She quickly dismissed the maid who had just come in to bring her ice pack. The maid insisted on helping her but she rejected saying she wanted to be alone. As soon as the maid leaves, she makes a call to someone who she hasn't met for quite long.

The first and second calls were rejected. But she still tried for the third one while gritting her teeth and finally, it connected.

"Yo. Miss Stewart, it's been so long. What makes you suddenly remember me? Did all your fuck boys reject you?" The voice from the other side said.

April clenches her fist. She holds back her rage because she needs help from this person. "I never lack men and everyone still desires for me wherever I go," April replied smugly.

"Oh yeah? That means you don't need me, am I right? Bye."

"W- Wait! I have a job for you!"

The man halts. He didn't hang up and said, "What job?"
