Lila had just finished her meal when she spotted maroon colored hair by the door. She immediately stood up and made her way over. "Haruka."
"Hey babe," Haruka bent down and immediately captured her lips with his.
"Wait," Lila pulled him away, "Don't do this when we're in front of everyone."
"Sorry, can I not greet you like normal?"
Oh. Lila shook her head, "That's not it, I'm just embarrassed. Sorry...um," she brought her lips to his and gently kissed him. "Thank you for coming."
"Yeah."
...
"Ah? Thank you!"
"Yeah," Haruka hands her a dress and Lila beamed.
"You think it looks good on me? En."
"Shoes."
"Hmm, what should we get," Lila looked at the row of shoes. All of them were well made; some stood out more than others due to the excessive amount of color and uhh glitter? Lila never understood why people would wear shoes covered in glitter. But it's a matter of personal preferences
"Wait a minute, Lila," Kasumi grabbed her arm and pulled her away, "How on earth do you know what he is saying?"
Lila looked at her friend, puzzled.
Miu sighed, "See, she didn't even realize it. Karashima isn't even talking much and yet she interprets everything."
"Telepathy?"
Kasumi shook her head, "Impossible."
Lila laughed, "Maybe because I know him well. You two should talk to him, too; he isn't a bad guy. Ah," she trailed off, "Is it awkward because he's the only guy? Let's drag somebody with free time here. Do we know anybody like that? Somebody who is easy to manipulate."
In the middle of that, she noticed the two were walking away.
In a few seconds, Kasumi and Miu returned with Shichiro in tow. Her sweat fell, "Ummm.."
Shichiro seemed irritated, "They just dragged me away from a scientific conference."
Her eyes lit up, "There's a conference here in the mall?"
"Yeah, it's from a new York professor."
Lila looked over at Haruka, "Haruka? Can I go?"
Haruka gently kissed her cheeks, and she clapped her hands, "Okay! Let's go, everyone."
Kasumi sighed but nodded, and Shichiro leads the way. The entire time Lila kept looking over at Haruka, 'he seems strange today,' Lila thought. Is it just her imagination?
It did not take them long before they arrived.
"Wow, there are so many people here," Lila's sentence fell short when somebody bumped into her, causing her to lose her footing. However, instead of falling to the ground, somebody caught her. Lila beamed happily, "Haruka, you followed me?"
"Yeah," he brushed the specs of dirt from her clothes, "Please be careful, my wife."
"Ah-huh, I understand."
Shichiro coughed, "Are you forgetting someone?"
"Aha, sorry, Shichiro."
"So lovey-dovey that you fail to realize your own surroundings. I'm amazed. But your happiness is the most important."
Ah...
Haruka's arms wrapped around her, and she felt his lips brush against her hair. Are they cuddling? She likes it. "Haruka, what's wrong?"
"Mmm, you just smell good."
Really? Something feels wrong here. After a few minutes, Lila noticed something. He's hot, is he sick? "Haruka, are you unwell?"
"I'm fine."
Lila turned around and noticed that he was sweating a lot. She reached over and placed her hand on his forehead. He's sick...
.......
Mall - Staff Arena
It's a good thing that the Austin family own this shopping mall. She felt a bit bad using her status as Kiryu's fiancé to get in here, but Lila didn't want to waste any time. When she saw how bad Haruka was sweating, her heart sank, and she almost fainted on the spot. This must be the first time she has seen him so weak, so vulnerable.
Haruka was drugged. It must have been at the gathering earlier. But why? No matter how much Lila thought about it, she couldn't think of a reason why. Is this Zane trying to get back at her? No, Lila shook her head - even she understood. That man wouldn't seek his revenge in this way. But there is no doubt there is an issue here.
Her thoughts broke off when Haruka stirred awake, "Haruka?"
He slowly opened his eyes and cursed, "Damn, my head."
"I'll get you some water," Lila turned to leave, but Haruka grabbed hold of her arm.
"You okay?"
Stupid, why is he worried about her when he is the one who passed out?
"I'm fine."
"Where are we?"
"Um, the staff area," Lila avoided his gaze. She wanted to quickly leave and fetch him that water.
Haruka immediately understood and frowned, "You used your identity as Austin Kiryu's fiance."
It's not like she could have just walked in here otherwise. But Lila supposed it was only a normal reaction. No guy would be happy if their partner uses their identity as the fiance of another man. Lila nodded, "I did."
But even then, the staff would have had to confirm with Kiryu. Right now, there are all kinds of rumors regarding their relationship, after all. Yet, she overheard one of the guards, 'If it's Lila-sama, we treat her like we would do with the boss.' That stupid guy, why is he still so kind to her? She and Kiryu broke up; he was the one who left her. But sometimes she feels like she ran away with another guy like what the rumors said. Didn't she go to Light town for Haruka's sake? While she did have her other reasons, her main reason was Haruka.
When Kiryu learned about that, didn't she hurt him? Even though it wasn't for anything romantic, and Lila genuinely wanted to help Haruka change. Along the way, something changed, and she did have other intentions. But it's far too late to dwell on such things now. The past is the past, and the future is the future. Right now she is Haruka's wife, while it isn't legal yet - she still belongs to another man.
"I see," Haruka nodded, "Got it."
That's it? Just now, he seemed mad. Well forget it, she doesn't want Haruka to be angry, anyway.
"So, don't worry, I can still come with you, even when I'm like this."
For a moment, Lila didn't understand what he was talking about when it suddenly hit her.
Lila's eyes widened at his words. Ah? Is that their aim? Lila frowned, but how did they know Haruka would be staying with her, she hasn't even told her parents yet.
"Hmmm, babe, you really do smell good," Haruka murmured against her neck.
How did they know? It's so strange unless Lila turned around and tugged on Haruka's clothes. "Haruka, show me your tattoos."
"Which one?"
Lila didn't need to ask him since she immediately saw it herself. So, that's it. There is some kind of surveillance engraved in Haruka's body. Wait, that means every time they did it, they were being watched. Lila's gaze darkened, so those people have no respect for Haruka whatsoever, huh?
"Then, I'll play a game too."
"Babe?"
Lila pinned Haruka down onto the bed, "Haruka, can I do things to you?"
Haruka seemed surprised and caught off guard, "Uhh, yeah...go ahead."
A devilish smile appeared on her face, "That's good."
___
"Switch that off!" Zane exclaimed. This was the last thing he expected to see. Up until now, the two didn't notice the surveillance, but now that they have. It feels like they are mocking him.
"Yes, sir..!"
Damn, that woman she got him good. So much for keeping an eye out on Haruka this way and teasing her with his blood like that, such a vixen. His thoughts broke off when somebody familiar strolled in the room. Zane frowned when he smelled the scent on her, and angrily made his wat over.
"Hey? Zane? What's wrong?"
"Shut up, stay still," he murmured as he pushed her onto the ground.
Rosalia rolled her eyes, "Did Lila make you mad or something?" He glared at her, and the woman sighed, "I told you to leave her to me, but you keep messing around."
"It's none of your business what I do with her."
"I know, I know. But you wouldn't have such a hard time if you just leave it to me."
Zane sighed as he pulled away from her slightly, "If I leave it to you, you'll harm her."
"Isn't that fine? She's still your enemy if she doesn't comply to your request."
Sure enough, Rosalia makes a point there. In the past, Zane was confident he could make that woman submit. But now, "Things have changed."
"Because of your so-called pawn. You thought you could control him well. But that fool has become obsessed with her, to the point he will disobey you."
Haruka? Disobey him? His frown deepened and Rosalia smiled as she brought her lips to his, "Why don't you just leave this to me? I can handle Lila, I've known her for a long time and Haruka, it's easy to read him."
Zane hesitated but nodded. His recent condition is not good, and he has to deal with the counter attacks from the Terashima and Austin family.

Mall - Staff Arena -
"Surveillance?"
"Right," Lila nodded. She doesn't know how Zane did it exactly. But there's no doubt that he has been monitoring that way, maybe he used a microchip?
"So," Haruka's lips graze dangerously against her ear, "You only attacked me because of that?"
Lila turned red but remained calm, "That's the only reason," or was it? Lila was beginning to doubt herself.
"You're gorgeous."
"Wait a minute, you're still sick," Lila lectured. Currently, as she spoke, Haruka's face was flushed red. Lila pushed him back down onto the bed, "Get some rest, Haruka."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Damn, this is so uncool."
Lila laughed, "Actually, it isn't. I'm relieved in a way," she mumbled. "Your never sick, and the only time you display weakness is when you confess your crimes and affairs."
"Babe, what affairs? I only have you."
"Yes, yes, I know," Lila bent down and gently kissed his lips, but Haruka tugged on her hand.
"Make out."
Oh, this feels kind of good. She almost forgets about his tongue piercings, the sensation of metal mixed with his usual taste. Before Lila could get herself completely lost in the kiss though, she hears coughing.
"Wahhh!"
Kasumi's eyes twitched in annoyance, "If he isn't sick anymore, then let's go back to shopping."
Lila laughed, "Um, I think we've shopped enough today. Besides weren't we going to discuss the event?"
"Can we discuss when you're like that?"
Lila looked at her clothing and panicked. She pulled on the blanket and wrapped it around herself. When did he get her shirt off? She didn't notice at all. Geez... Her thoughts broke off when Haruka tugged on the blanket; he took out a shirt from his bag. "Get changed; you'll get sick."
Stupid, this is his fault.
"What you asked me to investigate the other time, I confirmed it with my mother---," Lila sensed it right before Kasumi did and exclaimed.
"Get out of here!"
On seconds Kasumi disappeared, leaving her alone with Haruka. With bloodshot red eyes and sweat falling from his body as he pinned her down. 'That Zane, bastard,' Lila cursed in her head. She wrapped her arms around his neck, "I'm here for you; don't worry about anything."
.....
Three days later
Since that day, Haruka's blood lust was uncontrollable. Lila hadn't had the chance to properly investigate what Zane did to trigger it, but she knew it was dangerous from the way he looked at her whenever they were working.
"Mmmmm," Lila remained still on his lap as Haruka continued to suck from her neck.
"This voice is better than any music."
"Don't make it sound so weird, ngh ."
Haruka brushed his lips on her cheek, smearing blood there, which he started to lick. "You're stubborn, my dear, why don't you admit the truth already? Admit how much pleasure I give you. Besides, even if your mouth says no, your body says so otherwise."
He's acting like such a bully.
It took a few minutes before Haruka regained his senses again; when he did, he immediately pulled away and cursed. Lila hugged him tightly, "He always gets mad whenever he's finished.' Lila thought. For hanyou's, this act should be considered normal, but Haruka treats it as something bad.
"Babe, I'll get you something sweet to eat."
"Um, I'm fine. You didn't drink that much."
Haruka shook his head, "I'll get you something, what do you want?"
"Then, some pastries."
Haruka nodded and took his phone out. Her gaze fell on his expression. He still looks bummed out, does it bother him that much? It's not like she dislikes it too much. In terms of intimacy, when it comes to their hanyou side, the two don't do anything. Her lineage is somewhat important to her, and Lila grew up learning that it's apart of her. So, it did bother her a bit when Haruka didn't do anything when it came to that aspect. He is doing his best, though, so she shouldn't complain too much.
"Strange, they are taking too long," Haruka mused. Indeed, the two of them have been in this waiting room for approximately an hour and a half.
"They seemed disorganized earlier; maybe they are still setting things up."
Noticing Haruka look over at her, Lila made her way over, and Haruka pulled her into his arms. Her gaze softened, "What's the matter? Is it cuddling time already?"
"Yeah."
"Ah, ah if were going to cuddle I might as well do work too!" Lila pointed to the couch, and Haruka brought her over. As she sat on Haruka's lap again, Lila took out some music scores from her bag. The new song she was going to sing with Yori was written in Korean, 'I'm your girl, huh?' Lila thought. What an ironic title.

She wanted to quickly leave and fetch him that water.Haruka immediately understood and frowned, "You used your identity as Austin Kiryu's fiance."It's not like she could have just walked in here otherwise. But Lila supposed it was only a normal reaction. No guy would be happy if their partner uses their identity as the fiance of another man. Lila nodded, "I did."But even then, the staff would have had to confirm with Kiryu. Right now, there are all kinds of rumors regarding their relationship, after all. Yet, she overheard one of the guards, 'If it's Lila-sama, we treat her like we would do with the boss.' That stupid guy, why is he still so kind to her? She and Kiryu broke up; he was the one who left her. But sometimes she feels like she ran away with another guy like what the rumors said. Didn't she go to Light town for Haruka's sake? While she did have her other reasons, her main reason was Haruka.When Kiryu learned about that, didn't she hurt him? Even though it wasn't for anything romantic, and Lila genuinely wanted to help Haruka change. Along the way, something changed, and she did have other intentions. But it's far too late to dwell on such things now. The past is the past, and the future is the future. Right now she is Haruka's wife, while it isn't legal yet - she still belongs to another man."I see," Haruka nodded, "Got it."That's it? Just now, he seemed mad. Well forget it, she doesn't want Haruka to be angry, anyway."So, don't worry, I can still come with you, even when I'm like this."For a moment, Lila didn't understand what he was talking about when it suddenly hit her.Lila's eyes widened at his words. Ah? Is that their aim? Lila frowned, but how did they know Haruka would be staying with her, she hasn't even told her parents yet."Hmmm, babe, you really dosmell good," Haruka murmured against her neck.How did they know? It's so strange unless Lila turned around and tugged on Haruka's clothes. "Haruka, show me your tattoos.""Which one?"Lila didn't need to ask him since she immediately saw it herself. So, that's it. There is some kind of surveillance engraved in Haruka's body. Wait, that means every time they did it, they were being watched. Lila's gaze darkened, so those people have no respect for Harukawhatsoever, huh?"Then, I'll play a game too.""Babe?"Lila pinned Haruka down onto the bed, "Haruka, can I do things to you?"Haruka seemed surprised and caught off guard, "Uhh, yeah...go ahead."A devilish smile appeared on her face, "That's good."___"Switch that off!" Zane exclaimed. This was the last thing he expected to see. Up until now, the two didn't notice the surveillance, but now that they have. It feels like they are mocking him."Yes, sir..!"Damn, that woman she got him good. So much for keeping an eye out on Haruka this way and teasing her with his blood like that, such a vixen. His thoughts broke off when somebody familiar strolled in the room. Zane frowned when he smelled the scent on her, and angrily made his wat over."Hey? Zane? What's wrong?""Shut up, stay still," he murmured as he pushed her onto the ground.Rosalia rolled her eyes, "Did Lila make you mad or something?" He glared at her, and the woman sighed, "I told you to leave her to me, but you keep messing around.""It's none of your business what I do with her.""I know, I know. But you wouldn't have such a hard time if you just leave it to me."Zane sighed as he pulled away from her slightly, "If I leave it to you, you'll harm her.""Isn't that fine? She's still your enemy if she doesn't comply to your request."Sure enough, Rosalia makes a point there. In the past, Zane was confident he could make that woman submit. But now, "Things have changed.""Because of your so-called pawn. You thought you could control him well. But that fool has become obsessed with her, to the point he will disobey you."Haruka? Disobey him? His frown deepened and Rosalia smiled as she brought her lips to his, "Why don't you just leave this to me? I can handle Lila, I've known her for a long time and Haruka, it's easy to read him."Zane hesitated but nodded. His recent condition is not good, and he has to deal with the counter attacks from the Terashima and Austin family.__Mall - Staff Arena -"Surveillance?""Right," Lila nodded. She doesn't know how Zane did it exactly. But there's no doubt that he has been monitoring that way, maybe he used a microchip?"So," Haruka's lips graze dangerously against her ear, "You only attacked me because of that?"Lila turned red but remained calm, "That's the only reason," or was it? Lila was beginning to doubt herself."You're gorgeous.""Wait a minute, you're still sick," Lila lectured. Currently, as she spoke, Haruka's face was flushed red. Lila pushed him back down onto the bed, "Get some rest, Haruka."Find authorized novels in Webnovelfaster updates, better experiencePlease click www.webnovel.com for visiting."Damn, this is so uncool."Lila laughed, "Actually, it isn't. I'm relievedin a way," she mumbled. "Your never sick, and the only time you display weakness is when you confess your crimes and affairs.""Babe, what affairs? I only have you.""Yes, yes, I know," Lila bent down and gently kissed his lips, but Haruka tugged on her hand."Make out."Oh, this feels kind of good. She almost forgets about his tongue piercings, the sensation of metal mixed with his usual taste. Before Lila could get herself completelylost in the kiss though, she hears coughing."Wahhh!"Kasumi's eyes twitched in annoyance, "If he isn't sick anymore, then let's go back to shopping."Lila laughed, "Um, I think we've shopped enough today. Besides weren't we going to discuss the event?""Can we discuss when you're like that?"Lila looked at her clothing and panicked. She pulled on the blanket and wrapped it around herself. When did he get her shirt off? She didn't notice at all. Geez... Her thoughts broke off when Haruka tugged on the blanket; he took out a shirt from his bag. "Get changed; you'll get sick."Stupid, this is his fault."What you asked me to investigate the other time, I confirmed it with my mother---," Lila sensed it right before Kasumi did and exclaimed."Get out of here!"On seconds Kasumi disappeared, leaving her alone with Haruka. With bloodshot red eyes and sweat falling from his body as he pinned her down. 'That Zane, bastard,' Lila cursed in her head. She wrapped her arms around his neck, "I'm here for you; don't worry about anything.".....Three days laterSince that day, Haruka's blood lust was uncontrollable. Lila hadn't had the chance to properly investigate what Zane did to trigger it, but she knew it was dangerous from the way he looked at her whenever they were working."Mmmmm," Lila remained still on his lap as Haruka continued to suck from her neck."This voice is better than any music.""Don't make it sound so weird, ngh ."Haruka brushed his lips on her cheek, smearing blood there, which he started to lick. "You're stubborn, my dear, why don't you admit the truth already? Admit how much pleasure I give you. Besides, even if your mouth says no, your body says so otherwise."He's acting like such a bully.It took a few minutes before Haruka regained his senses again; when he did, he immediately pulled away and cursed. Lila hugged him tightly, "He always gets mad whenever he's finished.' Lila thought. For hanyou's, this act should be considered normal, but Haruka treats it as something bad."Babe, I'll get you something sweet to eat.""Um, I'm fine. You didn't drink that much."Haruka shook his head, "I'll get you something, what do you want?""Then, some pastries."Haruka nodded and took his phone out. Her gaze fell on his expression. He still looks bummed out, does it bother him that much? It's not like she dislikes it too much. In terms of intimacy, when it comes to their hanyou side, the two don't do anything. Her lineage is somewhatimportant to her, and Lila grew up learning that it's apart of her. So, it did bother her a bit when Haruka didn't do anything when it came to that aspect. He is doing his best, though, so she shouldn't complain too much."Strange, they are taking too long," Haruka mused. Indeed, the two of them have been in this waiting room for approximately an hour and a half."They seemed disorganized earlier; maybe they are still setting things up."Noticing Haruka look over at her, Lila made her way over, and Haruka pulled her into his arms. Her gaze softened, "What's the matter? Is it cuddling time already?""Yeah.""Ah, ah if were going to cuddle I might as well dowork too!" Lila pointed to the couch, and Haruka brought her over. As she sat on Haruka's lap again, Lila took out some music scores from her bag. The new song she was going to sing with Yori was written in Korean, 'I'm your girl, huh?' Lila thought. What an ironic title.
