Chapter 14 - Red Jealousy

In a different suite a little bit further from Lucian's, two men were seen watching some kind of surveillance video from a silver laptop in front of them. One was sitting on the couch; one hand resting on his face, while the other hand tapping on the couch rest, his eyes also seemed so intense indicating he was not satisfy at what he was watching. The other guy was standing firmly beside him while not showing any subtle reaction.

"Would I like to remind you again Master Haruki?"

"What is it Yamasaki? Don't you see I'm in the middle of something?" Haruki irritatingly replied.

The guy who was called Yamasaki took a deep breathe, "We're not here to stalk some ….girl …er...guy…whatever that person is," He stuttered as he could not determine how to refer the figure he saw in the video.

"Let me remind you again that we need to secure our cargos with the Hasegawa so that we can further continue the shipping line," He thoroughly prompted to his young master.

Haruki hissed deep down. "Luckily Chaos managed to plant some hidden cameras around the ship the night before," he messaged his forehead though there was not an ounce of sweat seen. He was clearly in a foul mood, jealousy to be exact, after tailing every movement of Lucian on the ship using the hidden camera. Seeing Lucian flirting around with random guests enough to make him boiled inside.

"Yes, the hidden cameras that you bought using the clan funds," Yamasaki pointed out.

Hearing Yamasaki, he regained to stay calm. While closing his eyes he smiled, "Heh, I couldn't care less about, it's technically my money too."

"Haa…You just did not know how to lay low from Tetsuya-sama, right?" Yamasaki did not just advising him out of worry but he just wanted to avoid future dispute from the previous head clan.

He tilted his head slightly to the right while brushing his hair, his eyes were menacingly burn in anger despite originally blueish grey, and it showed that he was seriously irked by Yamasaki. However, Yamasaki did not flinched by the intimidating aura came from Haruki as he was already used to it. He probably had triggered his young master badly.

"Anyway, how much long do I have?" Surprisingly Haruki did not burst instead he drastically changed the subject.

Yamasaki took a glance at his pocket watch taken out from his pocket, "You have 30 minutes more, Haruki-sama," he calmly replied.

"Good, we still have time then." He started to smile more brightly now.

"I'm going to take the shower now, and Yamasaki, prepare me the suit for the gathering tonight!"

"Yes, of course young master." Yamasaki complied.

"And before I forget, please fill up the water in Jacuzzi tub too. Set the temperature between 100F and 102F, okay?" His voice can be heard in the midst of showering.

"So Haruki-sama, I expect this is for that person?" Yamasaki tried to reconfirm.

"Who else do you think then? Anyway, how about the plan that I've discussed with Eris earlier?"

"Oh yes, everything is going along as planned." Yamasaki could just follow with the flow whenever Haruki was doing something for his selfish gain.

"Good."

The Hasegawa gathering dinner started as soon as the sky turned dark and was only embraced by the moon and the stars. The top of the deck was filled with guests hustling and bustling around; the pool was also swarmed by guests who enjoyed swimming while socializing with others. On the outside, the event was essentially an annual social gathering for Hasegawa group and their VVIP guests however there were also some business deal went on between Hasegawa and his business partners unbeknown to others who were invited.

Despite socializing like normal people, Haruki was also aiming to secure partnership with Hasegawa Group. His clan was now trying to open a shipping line and cargo business in order to gain more financial support to the clan. He was being invited to the event after successfully proposing to Hasegawa himself several days prior to the event. On top of that, he also managed to find Lucian's name in the guests' list, all thanks to Eris who magnificently able to hack the data. He had all the reasons to be here.

At the corner away from the crowd, Chaos eyes were scanning the surrounding. The party was not to his taste despite being a lavish gathering of the richest. It was also kind of bizzare, he thought, as some of the guests wore formal clothes, some wore casually and some only wore swimsuits. Haruka was no longer seen with him as he had gone back to the suite. He could not bear with being in the noisy crowds so he deliberately excused himself sick. After several minutes of mindlessly eyeing the crowd, Chaos finally spotted Lucian who was still in the same swimsuit.

"Heh, he did not even have the effort to change his clothes, but props to his guts that knows no limit," He chuckles while shaking his head a bit. Though, Lucian appeared less ludicrous in his swimsuit especially among others who also wears similarly to him.

Lucian was busy socializing with some of colleagues that he knew from his connections in the same business and others who were freshly made at the event. It was what he does best, befriending people who he found beneficial to him in the future.

Sipping the vodka from his own stainless steel flask, Chaos smirked, "It would be fun to see if he knows that Haruki is here. Much more if that dude appears in front of him at this moment."

He continued to observe attentively, at times, his body moved in groove following the music that was put on to perk up the party. Suddenly, his eyes stopped at a silver ash haired male figure that was entering the deck area. He was wearing long sleeves collar shirt. It was black with stripes pattern. He matched his shirt with a pair of black pants. The shirt was loosely unbuttoned at the upper area of his chest revealing his collar bone. He completed his look with a platinum necklace that was custom made for him.

"That face alone was able to make some eyes here melted, but appearing with that get up, he was definitely trying to catch Lucian's attention, no doubt," Chaos whispered to himself while sipping more of his vodka.

Haruki walked deeper into the center of the deck, crossing path with some waiters who were serving drinks and food, he took some cocktail from one of the waiter and secured a place where he could visibly see Lucian without being too obvious. Lucian, at that time, seemed to enjoy his conversation with Hasegawa, the owner himself. They were laughing, touching each other and sometimes gave each other small hugs to which it was enough to leave a bitter taste to Haruki. After a while, Lucian finally noticed Haruki's presence and he started to feel uneasy seeing him there.

"Ah, he is here too. Did not see him arrived earlier though." Hasegawa was notified by his staff about the arrival of his new business partner, Haruki. The staff pointed to Haruki who appeared to be standing unaccompanied at the railings that divided the pool and the resting area.

"You knew him?" Lucian suddenly asked.

"Apparently, he is my new business partner. Well, you know me, I also did some business deal with the yakuza, and he is the newly appointed leader of the Homura. Though, I've heard many years ago that the clan was nearly abolished by the Asami. It is a surprise to see the clan is revived by this new rookie head." Hasegawa made a lengthy explanation of his relationship with Haruki.

Lucian did not expect it but it was not a surprise for Hasegawa to work with yakuza if it benefited him greatly. It was what business is all about after all. However, he was not pleased to know that, out of all yakuza clans, it was Haruki's clan that managed to pull a deal with the stubborn Hasegawa, which not even Asami clan had been able to achieve.

Huh, such frightening move you got there, Haruki, Lucian softly growled inside.

"What an astounding head, isn't he? Come, I should introduce you to him, he may also want to be offered with your service," Hasegawa quickly ushered Lucian towards Haruki before he even managed to refuse.

Haruki who was idly drinking his cocktail, welcomed their company with open arms.

"Mr. Shinoda, good evening. You finally decide to join the party?" Hasegawa was the first to greet Haruki.

"Mr. Hasegawa, it's a pleasure to see you again. Sorry for not meeting you shortly after arriving. Well, it is such a waste to miss this grand party in this delightful night." Palpably he was good at pretending with his words. Haruki then smiled directly at Lucian but he looked away.

"So it seems you bring along a company?" Haruki asked after seeing Lucian was crossing both his arms and not even turning to look at him, "Your wife?"

Hasegawa laughed out loud meanwhile Lucian finally turned to face Haruki in fury, "No, this is a friend of mine, the highest paid and the prettiest of all escort, Lucian from Teorica. Oh, apart from this feminine appearance that may deceive you, Lucian is actually a guy so he would like everyone to refer him as he."

Lucian forced a smile as Hasegawa praised him. Frankly, he felt as if he wanted to quickly get out from there before he involved deeper with Haruki.

"Shinoda Haruki of the Homura clan, nice to meet you, Miss—or… Mister Lucian?" Haruki offered a handshake.

"LADY…Lady Lucian," Lucian quickly shook his hand while giving a hostile look at Haruki.

"If you ever feel lonely at this party, my beautiful Lucian can offer you a good company for the whole night." Hasegawa was actually suggesting a night service. Lucian, on the other hand; loathed at the offer requested to Haruki.

"Beautiful--?" Haruki paused while ogling at Lucian up and down.

"If you are a guy, then the wife of the Asami current head—who is also a guy—still naturally way more beautiful than you I guess, but that just me," he teased expecting some reaction from Lucian.

Hasegawa burst out into a huge laugh again, so loud that it filled the whole deck and the others could not say anything but watch. "Ah, the Asami used to drop a bombshell one time, making a fuss in the media, due to the current leader being gay and taken a guy as his wife. Good heaven!"

Lucian did follow through "Oh really? Let me add a bit more detail to that for you. The wife of the Asami clan leader is a foreigner so that considered as cheating. It's irrelevant to compare to Asians."

Haruki blinked, "You're an Asian? But your name and the blond hair say otherwise—if that's true then, wasn't it you who was cheating? Creating yourself into who you were not supposed to be?" Haruki made it clear that he was referring to Lucian's male body transfusion. It was definitely a jab at Lucian.

Lucian obviously did not enjoy a single bit of the conversation. His pale skin gradually turned red in anger. The wind was blowing cold air but it did not seem to cool his intense temperature down. He was clearly enraged by the teasing from Haruki to the point of imagining him punching the guy hard in the face, until he stumbles and falls into the pool.

"Mr. Shinoda," Lucian purposely addressing Haruki on last name basis.

"If you badly want to go for a swim in the pool OR the ocean, I would gladly help you do so," he grinned while frowning at the same time, his fists were already clenched tight.

Hasegawa tapped softly behind Lucian's back, "Oh relax my lady. It's just a joke, right, Mr. Shinoda?"

Haruki could not hide his pleasure seeing Lucian finally reacted to his tease. Still, he tried hard to stay calm and collected.

"Never mind Mr. Hasegawa, I'm not interested in that kind of service," he replied.

"By the way, I actually have an important date with someone and she is already here. Enjoy your night." Haruki deliberately excused himself from Hasegawa and Lucian.

"Oho, so you're waiting for a girl huh? You lucky guy!" Hasegawa supported Haruki with a smile.

"Yeah. If I want to make a partner for my clan, I am expected to choose a real girl, Mr. Hasegawa." He said while walking away but his eyes were obviously aiming at Lucian.

They watched Haruki walked away until he disappeared within the crowd. Lucian's hatred towards Haruki kept on building way more after the conversation they had with him. He was still burning red; Haruki's words were kinds of bit into him harshly.

"Hahaha…what an interesting fellow, I was right to make him my business partner," Hasegawa never stop laughing.

"No, you're a complete idiot!" Lucian snapped.

"Now excuse me, I need to go to the washroom," he quickly rushed out from the crowds.

Hasegawa was left there alone and confused.

Lucian rapidly marched along the hallway and passed the washroom. Truthfully, it was not his intention to go to the washroom, he just need a reason to get away from Hasegawa as his mind was clearly troubled with Haruki. He was no longer able to focus on doing his main job with Hasegawa, he thought that searching for Haruki would be his current priority. At the end of the hallway, there was an area where it was divided into two huge staircases which led to another hall below the deck floor.

Lucian stopped walking as soon as he caught a glimpse of Haruki accompanied by a pretty brunette in a black gown. He was standing beside a huge vase in the center between the two staircases. Both Haruki and the woman were slightly hidden in between the leaves from the huge vase yet Lucian managed to get a spot where the view could be noticeably seen. The woman was suit up with a black dress ornamented with variety of gem embroideries, a fine detailed pearl choker and two set of silver diamond earpieces that strung downward till they nearly hit the shoulders. Her hair was tied up in a lace braided bun decorated with flowery hair pieces.

"So it was not just some woman. She must be some millionaire's daughter huh?" Lucian became green eyed at the woman. Her appearance really made Lucian unable to stay calm.

"Damn you Haruki!" he cursed.

Honestly, he wanted to just barge in and question Haruki about his relationship with the woman. However, he managed to stop himself from doing so. I am not going to be that desperate, he monologue.

From afar, Haruki and the woman seemed to be a perfect couple at the party. The guests who went passed them could not help but gawking. Most of them were whispering words of praise and others were capturing photos of the lovely pair. Haruki and the woman basically ignored their surroundings as they were busy flirting with each other. Sometimes, they hugged and sometimes they just laughed and stared at each other romantically.

Lucian could not avert his eyes from the couple although his heart started to sense tremendous pain from watching the flirtatious pair in front him. He shouldn't be envious of them, he definitely can't; he reminded himself. Yet, he could not negate the fact that he did feel jealous of the pretty woman. He dreamed to be her and be loved by Haruki and people would see them as a perfect couple. He could not also deny that he wanted to be touched by Haruki and confided into his warm hug.

Suddenly, his imagination was put to a stop when he saw both Haruki and the woman passionately moved in for a kiss. Most of the people who were eyeing them were surprised by the sudden act. Some of them were cheering for support meanwhile Lucian was heartbroken. His eyes became empty and he no longer could contain his sadness as it had piled up in his heart. He was jealous, but he also was sad, but he could not do anything about it.

After the couple broke their kisses, Haruki then instantly caught his eye on Lucian who was standing mindlessly at the corner of the hallway. Noticing Haruki was coming his way, he immediately changed his demeanor. He did not want to let Haruki see him in pain or hopeless. Unconsciously, his sadness was abruptly changed to anger.

Haruki had left the woman for a moment in order to approach Lucian. Honestly, he already knew Lucian was going to tailed him and caught him in that situation. He knew that Lucian would be jealous seeing him being intimate with another person. He knew because both of Lucian and him were alike in that particular matter.

"Weren't you having fun with Hasegawa?" Haruki asked after he was standing right in front of Lucian.

"Why do you want to know?" Lucian sternly replied.

"Well… you look quite happy back there but I was wondering what made you have this kind of face I see in front of me right now?" Haruki advanced forward that made Lucian forcefully need to step back until his back touched the wall. Haruki trapped him there with one hand slammed against the wall. The proximity between Lucian and Haruki became short and that made Lucian's heart incessantly throbbing.

Lucian felt his face steaming hot and aroused by the charismatic scent of Haruki's body cologne but he still tried to stay composed.

"What face?? Don't get too cocky. I don't care what you're doing. It's none of my business." Lucian tried so hard to reply while not meeting Haruki's enticing pair of eyes.

He attempted to release himself but Haruki locked one of Lucian's hands preventing him from moving. Then, Haruki moved his face closer until his lips almost bumped into Lucian's left ear. His breath stirred something inside Lucian. It was stimulating as if Lucian was put under a magical spell by Haruki.

"Oh, but your face says otherwise. If you never care, then, why does your face so red?" Haruki whispered as he grabbed Lucian's face.

"Bold of you to think I was disturbed seeing you with your girlfriend, there's nothing going on between us anymore!" Lucian was annoyed.

"Never mind then. If you say so, then would you mind not stalking me after this? After all, you came here to do what you do best, entertain the big fish in this event. Am I right? Enjoy your night, Lady Lucian." Haruki finally released Lucian's hand and move back to where the woman was waiting. Lucian who was already hurt enough had sunk deeper into agony. It was excruciatingly hurt to hear those mocking words from Haruki, the guy who used to pour his affection to him.

Haruki turned his back to see if Lucian was still there, but he was already gone. Lucian had run back to the deck, devastated at what had happened between Haruki and him seconds ago. Haruki continued to approach the woman and chuckled.

"Is that the one you're talking about?" the brunette brushed some strands of her hair that messed up her face to the side. She was referring to Lucian.

"Yeah. Can't believe it worked very smoothly, all thanks to you Seira." Haruki gently brushed the woman's chin. The woman was actually his cousin, Shinoda Seira that he brought along in order to assist him with the plan.

"I feel bad though, he looks very sad," Seira who had watched all of what happened with Haruki and Lucian, suddenly sympathize with Lucian.

"No worries cousin, that was the point of me asking for your help. I want him to feel the same as how I felt after seeing his intimate relationship with all his clients. And I could not just simply act with some unknown girl in the same affection as you. I need it to be authentic so that Lucian would instantly fall for the ruse."

"Well as long as you compensate me well Haruki," Seira put on a meaningful smile while tapping on her cousin shoulder.

Haruki took out a phone and pressed some buttons, "Okay, It's done. It should have made it into your account."

Seira suddenly jumped in delight after checking her bank account via her smartphone, "Yes! Thank you so much." She giggled and then kissed him on the cheek. "Father would never give me this much pocket money. Please do seek me more if you ever need any help in the future." She winked before running in small steps down the staircase, leaving Haruki alone. She was done for the night.

Haruki shook his head after Seira had gone from his sight. "People do love money more than anything." He continued to stand there as if he was waiting for something else.

At the deck, Chaos settled down at one of the benches near the pool. He started to feel bored at the event. There was clearly no amusement for him apart from earlier meeting between Lucian, Hasegawa and Haruki. That is right; he watched it all from the distance, sniggering at the banter between Haruki and Lucian.

"Come on dear God, I plea for more exciting things to happen, or I'll bo—huh?" It was then he noticed the blond wavy hair out of the crowds.

"Yosh! He's back!" Chaos' eyes widened after he spotted Lucian returning back to the party.

When Lucian arrived at the deck area, he frantically searched for Hasegawa. Being humiliated by Haruki that night had made him so frustrated. Thinking that Haruki might already in the middle of having fun with the woman somewhere in this same cruise reluctantly desired him to do the same. After all that happened at the hallway with Haruki, jealousy is indeed what made him into some vultures hungry for its prey.

"So he thinks he is the only one who can have fun? Then Lucian, let's go and makes this body earns some sweet cash then," he tried to cheer himself up.

When he found Hasegawa in the midst of other guests, he swiftly approached him and dragged him out. Hasegawa was confused at first but seeing Lucian had dragged him away from the event, he somehow able to assume where they were going.

"Hurry! Your suite number!" Lucian shouted.

"010" Hasegawa hastily replied while giving his room card key to Lucian.

They headed to the suite area floor. All the guests that were blocking their way were pushed to the side as Lucian was seemed to not bother being polite anymore. He inserted the card key and kicked the door open after the green light permitted for access.

Without being detected by any of those two, Chaos followed them after he noticed that Lucian had been acting strange. He stopped at one of a secluded area near the suite, opened his phone and activated the hidden camera he installed in Hasegawa suite. When the video was finally on, he could see Lucian threw Hasegawa to the bed.

"Ah, it's time to do his job I guess, but somehow I have a bad feeling about this," Chaos murmured to himself.

At the suite, in the bedroom, Lucian desperately kissed Hasegawa while his hands were fully occupied to undress him. Hasegawa pulled Lucian closed to him and they broke their kisses. He continued to lick and bite Lucian all around the body. Lucian craved to forget his moment with Haruki so he allowed Hasegawa to do anything he wishes to the body.

"Err… Lucian? Did something happen? It is unusual for you to be this aggressive; I mean except in bed…hahaha"

"Be quiet. Just enjoy what you have requested for," Lucian hushed Hasegawa as he did not have the mood for talking.

However, no matter how many licks and kisses they did, Lucian seemed unable to get aroused. He could not get it turned on. He tried many times but it would not get hard. He was so embarrassed at Hasegawa. Before, he used to get stimulated easily by him or his other clients so he never unexpected this kind of situation to happen. Later, Hasegawa dismissed him as he thought Lucian must be completely not in the mood. Lucian shamefully apologized to Hasegawa and walked back to his suite.

He walked lifelessly along the hallway. He felt so disappointed with himself today. His mind was endlessly wondering the reason his thing could not react to the touches.

Was it because he was too stupid to let himself get swayed by unnecessary feelings?

Was it because he was deeply bothered by Haruki's words?

He was then again reminded of the way Haruki approached him in the hallway. His stare, his tender voice, his exquisite touch and his seductive scent, those were everything of Haruki that had occupied Lucian's mind all night.

Suddenly without realizing, his thing started to get hard.

"Huh…For real?"

He immediately went into the washroom and locked himself inside one of the cubicle. Since he wore only swimsuit, the bulge appeared to be so apparent therefore he wanted to avoid being seen in that particular condition.

"Wait—just because I've been thinking about him then you finally wanted to react, huh?" it was sort of a small talk between him and his private body part.

"So, does that mean I can no longer have sex with someone else except him? No, no, that can't happen! No!" He punched the cubicle hard.

He tried to empty his mind in order to restore it to its original state. Despite so many attempts still, it would not calm down so he decided to go search for Haruki. It has to be him then, he muttered.

Meanwhile Haruki was still idly wasting his time at the area of the two staircases. He was bending while resting both his hands on the railings. He could see so many people at the floor below him, still enjoying the party, dancing with their partners or drinking with some friends. However, he was actually thinking of Lucian. He might be a little bit hard on him, he thought.

In the past, even though Lucian used to beg for him to stay instead of breaking up, he did so anyway which ended up hurting his lover even more. Though, he did have a valid reason for breaking off their relationship at that time and he could not reveal that yet to Lucian. He did not want to involve Lucian in anything he would do in the future. Yet, he knew Lucian would never forgive him and all the meetings he had with Lucian at the moment, had proven that he still is furious at him.

Haruki kept ruffling his hair when his mind hit the dead end. Somehow he doubted whether breaking up with Lucian was the right thing? Was he on the right path or was it a mistake??

"Ah Crap! Get your head together, Haruki!" he said to himself.

"You twat… not only you came here to ruin my peaceful days… but you caused some confusion to my body….."

Haruki was startled by the sudden appearance of Lucian behind him. Lucian was panting hard notably because he was frantically searching for Haruki around the ship.

"Huh? What? Confusion…?" Haruki frowned.

Lucian irritatingly grabbed Haruki's collar, closing the gap between them. Haruki was taken aback by the abrupt aggressiveness.

"You better take responsibility for what you did to me. You want me to look just at you right? Fine, I will accept your request and our relationship for now is not more than just sex partners. Capicé?"

"What—Don't you realize you're the one who needed my favor. Look at yourself." Haruki arrogantly replied.

Lucian just could not hide the fact that he was appallingly stirred by Haruki. He felt his temperature rising and his body tingling all over especially at his private part. His thing was already growing to the extent the tip was nearly peeking out of the bikini underwear.

"Did watching me kissed another woman have made you jealous? It seems you do still care about me, huh?" Haruki smirked while pulling the waist until it touched his. It came as of surprisingly to Lucian. Haruki was still able to read his every move and reaction, it showed that he really did knew Lucian that well in comparison to others like Haruka.

"Stop making shit up," he replied short.

"Really?"

"Though I don't think you ever need me anyway. You have so many toys for you to play around here at the cruise. Or is it because you can't get this turn on if it's not me?" he questioned him while erotically touching Lucian's private part.

The blonde accidentally slipped up soft moans. Haruki started rubbing the thing until it came out bare naked. The sensual touched by Haruki's cold hand definitely made Lucian crazily aroused. His cheeks flushed red and his mind slowly went blank. One of Lucian's hands covered his mouth avoiding any sexual sound coming out; another hand was grabbing Haruki's shoulder for support as his legs grew weak to the sensation.

"Very well. It seems that you have succumbed to the fact that you really need me. Then, I would like to hear you say these words—please be my sex partner."

"Why.. Why I should say that for…?"

"Then just kiss your plea a goodbye. The choice is up to you. Basically I dislike the term 'sex partner' but I will give it a pass for now." He fastened his movement until it became slippery because the thing started to pre-cum. Lucian was already at the point of unable to hold his urge anymore. Haruki would not stop until Lucian did what he demanded.

"Al—Alright… Please be..nghh…my… sex partner." he finally said it.

"Now that's better. Let's go to my room, you will have more pleasure there." He carried Lucian in bridal style to his suite. Lucian was unable to resist as his whole body was completely aroused by Haruki.

Inside Haruki's suite, Yamasaki was seen minding his own business at the couch with his laptop opened in front of him. When he saw the door sprung open, he stood up and quickly opened the bathroom door for his young master. The steam kept filling the bathroom which enhanced the mood. The warm temperature also helped to increase the heat which sensualized the situation even more. Haruki put Lucian inside the Jacuzzi and then undressed himself.

Yamasaki suddenly interrupted Haruki who was preparing to enter the Jacuzzi.

"Master Haruki, I saw that you used the clan fund again, didn't you?"

"It's not that much so don't fret," Haruki defended himself.

"But Master Haruki, if your father knows that you use the money to pay for—"

"Yamasaki, get out! NOW!" He did not want to waste any time arguing so he drove Yamasaki out.

Seeing that Haruki was clearly fuming at him bothering them, Yamasaki made his way out of the suite. He did not want to anger his young master anymore or he would pay a huge price with his life. Haruki might seem reserved from the outside, but he could turn into a bloody killer when triggered inside.

"What the hell was that about?" Lucian subconsciously asked.

"Forget about that. Right now we're going to have fun," Haruki just brushed that aside.

"What? Huh…what is this?" Lucian was surprised after he realized he was in the Jacuzzi tub.

"Well I did agree to be your sex partner but I never said that I'm going to play by your rules. So it appears that you're really troubled because of me. Did I hurt you? But then, you never even consider how I felt today seeing you philandering around with random clients of yours, showing off your body. I hate that. I am hurt just as you. That's why I decide to punish you."

Haruki stripped Lucian's bikini one by one until both of them were stark-naked in that tub.

"Wait—what do you mean by that?"

"Yuu…" Haruki's voice changed into a seductive tone.

"I'm going to make your body only reacted to me." He smiled while slowly approaching to kiss Lucian's nape.

From that moment, Lucian knew that it's going to be hell for him. His days would not be the same anymore from now on.

After few hours of making love with Haruki, Lucian slept soundly on Haruki's bed. Haruki tucked in the blanket to cover Lucian's bare body. Hints of kiss marks could be seen though it somehow made Haruki felt content. He later gave a light peck on Lucian's forehead.

"I know I have said this countless time already…I'm sorry," he whispered to the sleeping Lucian.

When he exited out of the bedroom, Chaos forcefully barged into the suite. When Chaos met Haruki, he grinned and just shook his head while sighing.

"Okay Cinderella, time is up. I'm going to take you back now." Chaos shouted.

"Shh…he was sleeping, you fool!" Haruki was annoyed.

"Haruka will get worried if Lucian went missing. His job only requires him to have a few hours session, not the whole night."

"You sure have the nerve to take him without my permission?" Haruki cautioned him.

"Haruki, don't get me wrong. You're the one who ordered me to work for him. So, I'm currently doing my job, while observing Haruka and at the same time reporting Lucian's daily activities to you, nothing else. Also I hope you're not forgotten that I'm not actually 100% working for you." Chaos reminded him.

"So let me take this princess back to his castle, okay prince charming?"

Chaos slowly picked Lucian up and carried him out. Lucian did not make any move as he was deep in sleep. Before leaving the room, he turned to face Haruki once more.

"Basically, I don't know what issue that both of you are having with each other, but it is none of my business as long as you paid me well," Chaos smirked and then exited the suite.

Along the hallway, Lucian slowly woke up and realized that Chaos was carrying him to his suite.

"Wait, what … just happened? I thought I was in tha-""

"Stay still, I don't think you can properly move as of now." Chaos held him firmly.

"Well it was good right? I mean you moaned and came a lot." He continued to tease.

"HUH???!! You watched us??!" Lucian felt so embarrassed.

"Yeah, from the beginning. As your bodyguard, you are under my observation for 24/7."

Chaos laughed out loud while Lucian was screeching in shame.
