Before His Downfall
"Darling, it'll end as how we want, en?"
In the tranquility of the night, Hisaki's question was laced with concern. She looked at the tiny gap between the curtains from the bed. Heisuke enveloped her in a hug from behind.
"It will be."
Heisuke's tone had a hint of a lazy smile. Curling his body under the blanket, he gently pulled Hisaki to fit the crook of his front posture.
With one hand around his lady's dainty waist, he ran his fingers through her silky locks.
"I know I shouldn't worry, but..."
Hisaki was unable to finish her words. Exhaling a sigh, she recalled the rest of the information given by Kousuke through the phone call earlier.
According to Kousuke, he hired two young ladies to capture Nishikawa Takiji's attention. Their beauty and willingness to follow what the trash man desired became the extra points in grasping him in their clutches.
