CHAPTER 35 (1/2)

@angelofssonge, aww, thank you so much. :)))))

I HOPE SOMEONE WILL COMMENT.  I DON'T KNOW IF I'M STILL MAKING SENSE ON THESE CHAPTERS.  LMAO.

"He'll be here tonight."  Ethan snapped and the girl in front of her bursted out in tears.

"We need to arrange the marriage tomorrow then, let's just do it at the church at 4th street.  Tell Chloe about this Kayden."  Ethan said and Kayden was about to go down when Erika suddenly shouted.

"You're insane!  How could you ruin our lives in a snap just for your own good?"

"We have no choice, I am a father, I need to make my daughter happy."  he said.

"So just because you are a selfish father, you will do everything to make the non-sense dream of your stupid daughter come true?  I am beginning to think that your family is crazy, not just your daughter, but all of you, including you!"  she shouted as loud as she can.

"How dare you say that in front of me?  How dare you insult my family?"

"Do you think your daughter will be happy just because she'll marry Seungri?  You're wrong, Seungri's heart is not with her, and he will never love her like he love me!  Your daughter will suffer because Seungri will just make her feel miserable and lonely, because he will still look for me, your daughter will never be happy I swear to~"

A loud slap of skin echoed through the space.  The girl didn't move for a second but managed to lift her head up to face the man who just slapped her.

"Happy now?  Why don't you try slapping the left side of my cheek too?  It will make you feel a hell lot better."  she shouted and tears start rolling down her cheeks.

"Dad, stop it.  You promised Seungri that you will not hurt her!  He might change his mind."  Kayden took hold of his dad and get him away.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you my dear.  It's just that~"

"Truth hurts, isn't it?"  she muttered.  "I don't really care what you do me right now, I'll be dead anyway once you let your daughter marry the love of my life.  It will be the end of me.  Why don't you just kill me?"  she continued and she started crying again.  Ethan sat on the chair sighing and Kayden went to wipe the tears from the lady's face.

"I told you not to touch me!  Are you stupid?"

"Can you just stop it?  Accept it that Seungri will get married and it will not be with you.  No matter what you say, we will not listen to you.  We will do what we want, got it?"  Kayden said as he stopped wiping the tears from the girl's eyes.

"We really don't have any intentions of hurting you, we just want to make my daughter happy."  Ethan said.

"But do you think what you're doing is correct?" she said.

"I know, this is not right, but I don't have any choice.  I am sorry Erika, we need to do this, I hope you will understand, I am sorry for hurting you, too.  I didn't mean to."  Ethan continued and the girl just bowed her head in defeat and continued crying.

"Your food is here, do you want me to feed you?"  Kayden offered.  Erika gave out a sarcastic laugh.

"I am not hungry.  Leave me alone."  she said coldly.

"Fine, we'll leave you here then, but it will not change anything, you will still see Seungri get married to my sister, so just get on with it."  he said and he went down the stairs with his father behind him.

Erika continued crying and rested her head at the back of chair.  Her heart  is breaking and she can hardly breath.  She looks like a mess, but she didn't care.  Her whole body is numb and she cannot feel anything.  She hope that someone can help her out of here, but not Seungri.

"What are you talking about?  He knows what happened to Erika?  Is he involved in this?"  I asked Janine and she shook her head.

"I don't know, he didn't say anything, he said that he'll explain everything later.  Let's go back home, I will have my flight be rescheduled, I~I can't go home with Erika in this situation, I will help.  Come on Ri."  she stood up and I followed her outside the cafe and to the house.

She is really willing to reschedule the flight knowing that it will cost a fortune, I admire the friendship that they've shared.  If I'm Janine too I will do the same, of course.  We reached the house and we slouched in the couch while waiting for Naotoshi.  Janine took a glass of water from the kitchen and handed it to me.

"Are you okay?"  she asked me.

"I don't think so.  Erika is in trouble, all because of me.  I shouldn't have let myself stay here, if only I know that we'll get caught."  I responded and I heard her sigh.

"It's not your fault Ri, it's the crazy family's fault.  They are insane.  They should be placed in a mental institution after this."  I nodded in agreement.  Not long after, we heard a knock from the door and it soon opened.  Naotoshi went inside with a frown on his face.  Looks like he's been crying as well.

"Nao, are you okay?  What's wrong?"  Janine asked and approached him.  He suddenly hugged Janine and cried.

"I am so sorry.  I am stupid.  I am such an asshole."  I noticed Janine hugged him back and whispered.

"Wait, I don't understand Nao, why are you saying this?"  she pulled back from the hug and they both sat down on the couch in front of me.

"Is there something that we need to know Nao?"  I asked him and he looked at me and wiped his tears and sighed loudly.

"Our last night in the resort, I left without notice, I told Erika that the reason why I left is because my dad is sick, but, I lied."

Me and Janine stared at him, then Janine held her mouth.  I looked at her and she's really startled, I am really confused right now.

"Why?  What is the reason why you left?"  I asked again with my eyebrows creased.

"After I took Janine to our room, I rested her on my bed and I stayed for a while until she's okay.  I went out to check Erika's room, where you two are staying, just to make sure that you guys are okay.  But, I've seen something."

"Oh my gosh!  So it's you?  But you told Erika that you haven't seen anything!"  Janine screamed.  I am so confused now.

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't understand.  What happened that night?  Janine and Erika told me that I just slept the whole night and nothing happened.  I can't even remember if I had done something."  I looked at them and they both stared at me.

"You don't know what you did?"  Nao asked me and I nodded.  Janine face palm herself.

"Shit, can you just tell me what the hell happened that night?"  I said in annoyance.

"You guys are.. kissing, her on top of you, to be exact."

HOLY MOTHER OF.  WHAT?
