Dream Star

Mother and father were in love with each other. But they still had to face so many obstacles before they came together.

"If you can"t handle it, just give me the job."

She rolled her eyes, "If I let you handle it, I can see blood-shedding immediately."

"They keep hurting you, why wouldn"t there be blood?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Soichiro, don"t be unreasonable. Do you think people"s lives are a game?"

"I don"t," Soichiro shook his head. "At least not anymore. However, I will still prioritize your needs before anybody else"s. That is the one thing that hasn"t changed."

"You have Yori. Focus on Yori."

Lila wanted to tell him but knew it would only upset him further. Her gaze darted back to Haruka, who was fast asleep on her lap. Before she could say anymore, she felt bile in her throat.

She immediately rushed to the bathroom and threw up on the sick. It wasn"t vomit but blood. Soichiro"s gaze was dark as he bent down, "And you still don"t need my help? Do you want to die, Teras.h.i.+ma Lila?"

"I didn"t refuse your help," Lyn said. "But, I just don"t want you killing people. A life is a life, regardless of how bad a person is. You can"t just kill them."

"In your condition, your still saying such ridiculous-sounding things." A deep sigh escaped his lips. "Do you realize what will happen to you, if you don"t undergo serious treatment soon? These last few months, you"ve done a great job at holding back. But, you can"t keep this up."

"Soichiro, you know, regardless of everything. I am grateful for what you"ve done for me. While your methods are certainly not the best, you made me understand. This body is mine, but at the same time, it isn"t."

Soichiro sighed, "Get up."

Lila blinked but did as he said. It was painful for her to get up. Her entire body felt sluggish, but she managed to get off the ground. She returned to the room and followed Soichiro.

"For now, take this."

"A new medicine?" Lila looked at Soichiro blankly. "When did you have time to do this? Haven"t you been busy lately?"

"I"ve been busy making this. Your so dammed annoying, why can"t you just stay put in a hospital for a while?"

"I have the compet.i.tion."

"Singing is more important to you than your life it seems."

"Yes."

Soichiro"s eyes twitched in annoyance. "d.a.m.n it," he cursed. "Like mother like daughter. I already spoke to your mother about this; she told me to tell you to go back home every weekend so she can monitor things."

Ah, Lila nodded. "I need to go through the isolation period too. It"s been pushed back a lot because of work."

"During that time, your state will be worse than ever before. Because you"ve been neglecting to care for your body."

Worse than before, huh? Lila closed her eyes; the last time was during the island. While it was forced due to the circ.u.mstances, Lila remembered how painful it was. "Last time, Rosalia used that chance to step over me.."

"I"ll make sure she doesn"t remotely get close to you. But you have to be stronger. How can you survive like this?"

"I know."

"Do you really? Sometimes it doesn"t feel like it. I know Haruka is important to you. But, he"s destroying our plans, Lila. How will you be able to deal with all your enemies with the way things are now? You"re not in good condition, too, so the plan…"

Lila shook her head, "Don"t worry, Soichiro. Like we discussed before, nothing will change. The original plan, it will still go through. I"ll pay a visit properly to that place soon, and then n.o.body will question our authority anymore."

Soichiro still looked troubled but nodded. "I"ll give you more of those," he pointed to the bottle in her hands. "Just drink it every 3-4 hours, and you"ll be fine. But, remember it is only a temporary measure. If you stop taking it for one day, it will lose its effects."

…

Lila changed the towel on his forehead and looked at Haruka worriedly. Why hasn"t he woken up yet? She"s very concerned. What kind of drugs did they give him this time? People may call him a fool, Lila won"t deny that at all. But that never mattered to her. It just means he is human. Those who show weakness are not cowards. Haruka, she actually liked seeing his weak side. Because it meant that he was opening his heart out to her.

When Lila thought about the new plan, her heart would clench in pain. But, this is indeed for the best. It"s going to be painful for her. However, it"s like what Soichiro said; she has to get stronger if she doesn"t then like before her enemies will step all over her.

Ever since that time on the island a few months back, she has not been attacked. It"s not that the enemy has given up, it"s simply because they are cooking up a new scheme. She has to be careful. Maybe if she didn"t meet Haruka again, she would have solved this problem by now. But, Lila didn"t regret it. The past few months as Haruka"s girlfriend and now his wife has made her so very happy.

"Honey?"

"Mmm," Haruka mumbled. "Wife."

Lila made her way back over, and Haruka pulled her down, so she was resting on his chest. "My wife.."

"...are you okay?"

"Yeah, I still have a killer headache. But I"m fine now," Haruka brushed his hands across her cheeks. "What about you? Why do you look so pale?"

"I"m alright, Haruka, just tired."

"Then, my wife should rest. Should I bring you back home?"

Lila shook her head, "I have a lot of work to do. But Soichiro extended my lunch break, so I have a good three hours to rest."

"Is that so?"

Haruka looked like he didn"t believe her but nodded. "Let"s rest like this then…"

"Honey, mother wants to see me. She told me to come visit on the weekends. Do you mind?"

"Hmm? Can I come?"

Lila doesn"t want Haruka to know about that, though. "You can come, but only after you finish work." She would just have her mother finish her check-ups before Haruka arrives.

"Working in the weekend is torture. I can"t fool around at home with my wife."

She is sorry, Haruka, but this is something she can"t confine him in.

….

Bar XX

"Can you hear me?" a voice said through the earpiece in her ear.

"Yes."

"When you enter, do not, and I repeat, do not look anyone in the eyes for a long time. The guards at the front have a strange power, like hypnosis. If you stare at them for a long time, they will think your an intruder. But if you notice, they will understand your one of them."

Lila nodded, "I"m at the door," she looked over at the mirror on her left. "Are these clothes necessary?"

"Don"t worry about it; you"ll understand why."

When Lila entered the place, it was exactly like one would expect of a bar. People were sitting around and drinking. A deep sigh of relief pa.s.sed her lips. She really hates these places... However, her gaze darted towards a group in the corner. There they are. The second she came over, people greeted her, they all said in usion. "Lilsama."

Quite some time has pa.s.sed since Lila has last heard people refer to her like this. She approached the one on the side, a woman around her mother"s age. "You were the ones sending those letters?"

"It"s a pleasure to meet you. I had the honor of serving your father back in the day."

She hears the other guests snicker, and Lila sighed. "Another one of her father"s troublesome old lovers.." Lila, however, is used to dealing with these type of people already. During the time her mother was missing, many of her father"s former lovers tried to get back together with him. Lila lost count how many women she had to chase away.

"And? Exactly what did you intend by sending such letters?" Lila"s gaze is very cold as she looked the woman up and down. The woman wore a low-cut revealing dress, and she sighed in her head.

Father… Haruka and even Kiryu, why did they go after these kinds of women? Lila simply doesn"t understand why.

"I intended to warn you, so you don"t fall from grace and destroy your father"s reputation."

"Fall from grace?"

"While your father married your mother, everybody knows that Lucifer-sama already stained her. Your father still married her regardless of her corrupted blood. Fortunately, when you were born, there were no symptoms. I do not wish for you to follow the same path and destroy your pure blood."

Stain? Stain? Her mother was raped by that man when she was younger. Why are these people blaming mother over that incident? Lila felt her blood grow cold. It"s because people like this exist that the peaceful world her sister brought about is slowly getting destroyed.

"Lately, the humans are restricting our movements. We can"t even drink a gla.s.s of blood out in the open. I understand our races are different, but surely they don"t expect us when we"re on the verge of a breakdown not to drink? We can"t even announce our gatherings anymore; everything has to be kept a secret. All of this is because your father married only one woman. If he had multiple partners and equally gave power to his second wife, then this wouldn"t be happening."

Shut up, shut up, shut up. Second wife? Other women? How ridiculous. Do these people even know what they are talking about? What is wrong with marrying one person and staying with them forever? These people and their ridiculous outdated values.

"I"m sure the other people in this room think the same. They don"t want the past to repeat itself. Lilsama, your wise. You should know that a union with Austin Kiryu is beneficial for you. If you still want to keep that man, then go ahead, but as your second, no, your fourth husband at best. You must find other suitable candidates. The man named Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka is far too dirty--"

Lila didn"t wait for the woman to finish her words since she reached over and grabbed hold of the woman"s neck. She pierced her fingernails through the woman"s neck. Her eyes flashed red, and her group tightened. "Shut up. Shut up, shut up!" Lila screamed. "How dare you say such words. Who are you to judge them? Who do you think you are?"

It isn"t just this woman alone; it"s everybody else here. Lila let"s go of the woman and a black swirl like mist formed in her palm. The other guests became frantic, and they bowed down. "Please spare us.."

Spare them? Why would she? Why? If she allows these people to roam free, then they would simply do it again. People like this need to be taught a lesson.

Somebody grabbed her arm, and the mist dispelled Lila"s eyes widened when she saw who it was. "Haruka?"

Haruka sighed, "Did you really think I wouldn"t notice?"

Lila looked at him, stunned and utterly puzzled. He realized something was wrong and asked Soichiro? Feeling the heavy gaze still on her, Lila turned to the other people. They were anything but happy; everybody was looking at Haruka with a hateful look in their eyes.

She tugged on his hand, "Haruka, come with me--"

"No, I"ll tell them straight up."

Wait, is he going to --- Lila"s eyes widened when Haruka"s eyes turned a bloodshot red. His hair shrunk until it was only above his ears. W—wow… Her cheeks reddened when she saw his change in appearance. Is this Haruka"s hanyou"s state? He looks so handsome.
