Present day 2035 - Sophia and Haruka's old apartment
When Haruka woke up, he found his shirt discarded onto the nightstand, and Sophia laid naked beside him. However, 'Nothing happened, huh?' A deep sigh escaped his lips; he doesn't understand anymore. But, his gaze darkened when he saw the blonde. He no longer wants anything to do with her.
...
-Apartment - 7:00PM
Haruka didn't expect to see her back home; he thought she would have stayed over to do some work. The second he entered the room, she immediately pushed him down onto the bed. "What?"
"Where did you go, you smell like another woman," Lila was tugging on his shirt, "Going to take this off.."
She noticed, huh?
"What's this? Bug bites?"
"You know what they are."
"Wahh! Cheater! Liar!"
Geez, Haruka wrapped his arms around her, "She did it when I was asleep, relax. I didn't touch her."
"Okay, but why were you with her?"
"Work talk," Haruka mumbled. It wasn't half a lie; he discussed some business with her.
"Arena concert face off?"
"Yeah, it's similar to the screening you had to do last year."
Lila was staring at him the entire time before nodding her head, "Haruka, I understand. So can I do things to you now?" as she said this, he noted how unusually flushed her face was.
"My wife, are you drunk?"
"Unngh," Lila brushed her lips against his exposed chest. "Haruka.."
She's drunk, huh?
"Haruka, are you going to touch me?"
"Mm, what would you like me to do?" Haruka chuckled when he saw her red-stained face. Why does she have to blush? How many times have they done this? His Lila, he wants to treasure her and protect her feelings.
.....
Two hours later
"Did I wake you?"
"No," Lila smiled, "Un say, I like it when you tell me you love me. So you don't have to say it only when I'm sleeping."
"I see."
"And I'm very happy spending time with you like this."
Haruka placed the guitar down and turned to the girl on
"What are you trying to get at?"
"So, no matter what happens, Haruka. I'll believe you, okay?"
'Scum will always be scum,' Haruka recalled the words Sophia said and his gaze dimmed. It's not like he did anything with her. But going to the house and spending time with her like that? What was he thinking, even now he still doesn't understand? What's right and what's wrong.
"Haruka?"
He brought his lips to her neck, pressing their bare bodies against each other, and he bites her. Lila, why is it even now she has such thoughts about him? She thinks of him so dearly.
"Haruka, nnjgh..."
"Sorry, just one round okay?"
"Nngh, okay ... Say," Lila said through her heavy panting, "I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Come with me to the next ball?"
"The one you're attending as his fiance?" Haruka said bitterly. He avoided mentioning it for a reason, but now she is bringing it up.
"I know you don't like it. But if you show up, people will start to understand."
So, they can't announce things directly, huh?
"I don't mind, but I'll have to bring a companion with me."
"A girl?"
"Sophia." He doesn't know anybody else he can ask after all.
"Haruka. You seem to talk to her daily," Lila trailed off, "How come?"
"She's a friend," Haruka cringed when he said those words. Friend? That vixen like woman?
"Okay, nngh...."
Haruka smiled when he saw her reaction. She really is a beauty. But if she simply had looks, he probably wouldn't have fallen for her.
"What?"
"Haruka, your cigarettes smell different."
"I got some new ones," he trailed off when he saw her expression, "I'll put it away."
"Ah, I don't mind. I guess you can smoke..."
Haruka reached over and kissed her lips, "Mmm."
"So um, about that face-off thing."
"It's like a festival with stands except for music."
"Haruka, you know a lot about it."
"Yeah, they had such events back in England."
"Haruka, what can I do so you only think of me and me alone?"
Why is she changing the topic? Geez, this woman. "Sit on my lap."
"Okay."
"So my dear, let me tell you a few things. One, you can touch me whenever you want. You don't have to ask me for permission," Haruka saw her take out a notebook and pen, and he paused, "What are you doing?"
"Taking notes!"
Haruka could only stare at her dumbfounded. What on earth is she thinking? Geez. "You don't need notes for this, just remember it. It's simple; you're my wife, you can do whatever you want. You can chase away anybody you don't like either."
"Then, can I deal with Sophia?"
"No," Haruka shook his head, "Leave her be."
Sophia is far too dangerous. Lila isn't a weak woman. But, Sophia's methods are far too brutal. Haruka is afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it. Sophia isn't like Miyazawa Rosalia; she doesn't lose her composure at all. She doesn't get emotional either, that woman is always very calm.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Lila puffed her cheeks up into a pout, "Okay fine. I won't bother your mistress."
Haruka blinked, 'Mistress? She sure has interesting ideas.'. Haruka thought. Seeing her seriously angry, Haruka nuzzled his face into her breasts.
"I'm angry, go away."
"Honey, you sure have odd ideas. Why do I need a mistress?"
Lila looked him up and down, "Just recently I said I would believe you. But I wonder Haruka. Do you believe in yourself? To you, other women are nothing but toys, and I'm the only one special. But, do you really want to continue degrading other people like that? Don't you know how scary others retribution can be?"
It's funny that she is talking to him about this now. Retribution, huh? Indeed Sophia's actions now are simply because she wants revenge. Revenge for him tying her to him. The reason why Sophia is so obsessed is because of him. If Lila finds out the truth, would she resent him?
"You didn't reply right away, so she relay is your mistress right?"
Geez, she's getting all sorts of unusual ideas in her head. Haruka pinned the girl back down onto the bed, "Do I really need a mistress? I'm actually quite a faithful guy."
"Ah-huh," Lila looked at him with doubt in her eyes, "I'm sure you are."
Haruka bent down and buried his face in the crook of her neck. "Joke has gone too far now, my love," he mumbled. "I love you, and only you. You know that better than anybody."
"Okay, enough joking. I just want to try saying it."
Hey, hey...
"But, I'm very concerned about why you went over to that house again."
She knows everything about him, huh?
"My wife, are you stalking me?"
"Yes."
His sweat fell; she is so blunt about it. Still, he doesn't mind it too much. This possessive side of her, "What's my punishment?"
Lila traced the marks Sophia left and frowned, "I need to, get rid of these."
"Yeah."
"Haruka is mine," Lila repeated in a trance. The two of them swap positions, so he was bellow and Lila on top. Haruka gently brought his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "Since your mine, please be more careful.."
It didn't take long before Lila fell asleep, thankfully after kissing him, the girl closed her eyes. If she did anything, they'd have problems. Haruka gently caressed her hair.
Lila is the one who said it didn't she? About searching for the answer yourself, about how no matter times a person comes crashing down when they hit a dead end. They have to stand up and search for the answer. He doesn't understand it; still, it's confusing. He's been around plenty of girls already, and yet all of those relationships came falling apart. He had no intention of being in a serious relationship. However she fell in love with Lila, Haruka realized that he couldn't completely give it up. Something that can make people shine so very brightly. Although he isn't quite sure yet.
Feeling happy when they are together.
And whenever we separate he wants to be together with her a little more.
Separate again, and desiring to meet and when he meets her, he feels happy.
He still doesn't understand what these growing feelings mean. But from now onwards, he will take it slowly step by step. Because for him this is the first time he's genuinely desired something. Even if his feelings are like this now, where it feels like he is being swallowed up in a dark hole.

"Why are you here?" Haruka sent a harsh glare in Sophia's direction.
Sophia laughed, "I just came to check things out since she will perform here before our face of."
"You've already heard her sing, what else do you have to check on?"
"Haruka!" Lila ran over to him, and clung onto his arm, "You came to see me. Um say just--," Lila's child-like innocence on her face vanished when she saw Sophia. Her gaze clouded for a moment before she smiled. "I didn't know Miss Sophia was fond of spying on her competition."
"What is there to spy on? We all know who the victor will be?"
His sweat fell when he saw the lightning bolts between them. Geez, "I brought you food. Take a quick break okay?"
"Okay, Haruka."
"What a coincidence, I brought food over too. Haruka, why don't we share?"
Lila frowned, "Haruka can share my food."
"Oh, but is that little box enough for him?"
What on earth are these two doing? Haruka watched as Lila pulled out the box and her eyes brightened. "My favorites."
"Yeah."
He glanced over at Sophia and saw her food. It was just a single pan of large bread. "You're not eating."
"This is easier to digest after a run," Sophia said.
....
"She's actually pretty good," Sophia commented.
"Do you think I'd be her manager otherwise?"
Sophia laughed, "True, hasn't talent always been important to you? I wonder how she would react if she knew that's the reason you approached her."
Haruka sighed, "It wasn't the complete reason," he trailed off. At least the reason has changed now. In the beginning, he may have approached her with bad intentions. However that changed, the more time he spent with her. The more Haruka realized that he would never be able to hurt her.
"However," Sophia smiled, "Now that I'm seeing it properly, there is a way to beat her."
"Don't use dirty tricks."
"Relax, why would I do something like that?"
Their conversation fell short when they hear laughter, Haruka turned to spot pale purple hair. Ah.
"Tachibana Ameno."
"I thought your conversation just now was funny. Beat Lila? You've truly underestimated her. There is nobody in this generation that will beat her. The girl is at the peak of her career, and she will keep going further. Even if she makes mistakes along the way, nobody will bring her down."
"Do you believe in her potential that much?"
Ameno smiled, "My opinion doesn't matter here," he looked over at him, "What do you think Haruka?"

Haruka watched as Lila pulled out the box and her eyes brightened. "My favorites.""Yeah."He glanced over at Sophia and saw her food. It was just a single pan of large bread. "You're not eating.""This is easier to digest after a run," Sophia said....."She's actually pretty good," Sophia commented."Do you think I'd be her manager otherwise?"Sophia laughed, "True, hasn't talent always been important to you? I wonder how she would react if she knew that's the reason you approached her."Haruka sighed, "It wasn't the complete reason," he trailed off. At least the reason has changed now. In the beginning, he may have approached her with bad intentions. However that changed, the more time he spent with her. The more Haruka realized that he would never be able to hurt her."However," Sophia smiled, "Now that I'm seeing it properly, there is a way to beat her.""Don't use dirty tricks.""Relax, why would I do something like that?"Their conversation fell short when they hear laughter, Haruka turned to spot pale purple hair. Ah."Tachibana Ameno.""I thought your conversation just now was funny. Beat Lila? You've truly underestimated her. There is nobody in this generation that will beat her. The girl is at the peak of her career, and she will keep going further. Even if she makes mistakes along the way, nobody will bring her down.""Do you believe in her potential that much?"Ameno smiled, "My opinion doesn't matter here," he looked over at him, "What do you think Haruka?"
