Her Wicked CEO: How To Seduce A Hikikomori Wife?

Sponsored Content

I look down at the turbulent water and take a deep breath . Ren should have followed me . He should have told me that it wasn"t such a case . But, he and I know that I am right . Perhaps, he is fond of me . He isn"t in love with me .

You can move mountains for the people you love . I would do it . I would have given up anything for him . I understand that he has been hurt and scared because of his brother"s death . But, running away has never been the answer .

I can"t help but feel that I have been a burden on the people around me . My grandparents . My parents . Even Ren . Nothing has changed . I am still a burden . I don"t have a shelter to hide either . I want to hide right now . Desperately . I don"t want anyone to see me like this . If my house still existed, I could hide there . I wouldn"t have come out in the first place . I wouldn"t have seen Ren again . I wouldn"t have found out the reason why he left . Is there only pain left in my life? Will things ever change?

My phone starts ringing . I feel disappointed when I see the name . Of all the people, it"s Kamiyama . I let go of the phone . It falls in the river . I don"t want to talk to him .

"Hey! Hey!" Someone is yelling . From under the bridge, a homeless man wearing a hat comes out running . He points at me . "Littering the river is a punishable act . "

"Shut up . " I stare at the homeless man . "Just report the crime if you are that bothered . "

"Come down and take your phone out of the river . " The old man is really stubborn . "You don"t even think about the fishes . "

Seriously . I take a deep breath and tell him, "I can"t swim . "

"Then, why are you standing there and looking like you want to go skinny dipping?" The old man asks with an irritated voice . "Come down now . "

" . . . " I walk around and go below the bridge . There is a small tent below the bridge . A fis.h.i.+ng rod in front of the tent . "Old man, I don"t think that our country laws allow us to live below the bridges like this . "

"Don"t be cranky . I am only here for the vacation . " He picks up a can and throws in my direction . I barely manage to catch it . "Drink that . It will lift up your mood . "

It"s a can of beer . It"s also expired . Fair enough . He resumes fis.h.i.+ng . I wonder if there is any fish in the river . I start drinking beer . The taste is funny . In the next moment, I throw up .

"What"s wrong with you?" The old man becomes mad at me . "I found that beer lying here . Didn"t you see the expiry date? Why did you drink it?"

"Why did you give it to me?" I throw away the beer can and clean myself with the river water .

"Here, take this . " He gives me the water bottle . "It"s clean . Drink it . "

I take a sip and feel like my throat is choking . I spit out the water before I have the reflex . I thought that I was improving, but I am back to point zero .

"That looks painful . " He sits beside me . "You have some bad issues . Were you bullied when you were young? Perhaps, it was related to food and drinks?"

I narrow my eyes on him . "What are you?"

"I am a fisher on holidays . " He looks up at the sky . His almond eyes are twinkling . "On other days, I fix people . "

"Tch!" My luck is really bad today . I end up meeting someone who deals with minds .

"Here . " He puts his business card on my hands . "If it becomes unbearable, you should find me . "

"I won"t find you . "

"There will come a time when you want to be better for yourself or your loved ones . " He smiles at me . Kindly . "I will be waiting for you . "

"I don"t have anyone . " I point at the bridge . "Old man, do you come here to give your business card to people who try to jump from there?"

"There is nothing wrong to promote my business . " The old man looks offended . "Do you know how many lives that I have saved? That place is a favourite place for suicide . "

I look at the business card . "You are not from this city . "

"I told you that I am on vacation . " He looks at me thoughtfully . "When I saw you for the first time, I thought that I was looking at a ghost . You look a lot like someone I know . "

"Are you hitting on me, old man?" I scrunch my nose . "You are not my type . "

He laughs loudly . "No, you are my daughter"s age . You even look like her . Don"t doubt my pure intentions . "

"Okay . " I decide to believe him . "What does your daughter do?"

"She . . . "

"Takeuchi!"

I find Kamiyama standing at the bridge . How does he manage to find me always? I want to know why he is always there . But, that"s not the strange part . He suddenly jumps off the bridge . I let out a scream . I don"t know how to swim . I look at the old man who is unperturbed by the event .

"Can you save him?"

"Does he need saving?"

In the next instant, I watch Kamiyama resurface and swim his way toward the riverside . I open my mouth widely, but no words come out . Why would he jump? Was he hot? Did he want to try swimming in the dirty river water? It is f.u.c.king ridiculous .

He is gasping for breath when he reaches me . He puts his hands on my shoulders and asks, "I was looking for you everywhere . Why did you come here? This is not a safe place for a woman . Can"t you think for once? You are a woman . What if you got hurt? The media would have another reason to harm my family . "

"Kamiyama, you could have come from there . " I point at the stairs from the side of the bridge . "Why did you jump?"

He looks at the stairs like he has seen them for the first time . "Jumping was the fastest way to reach you . "

The old man chuckles . "You also need help, young man . "

"Who are you?" Kamiyama glares at him .

"I am n.o.body . " The old man stands up . He pats off the dust from his pants . "Just a happy old man living under the bridge . "

He waves his hand and goes back to his tent .

"Today is strange," I murmur to myself .

"Why did you come here?" He starts dragging me along me . We are taking the stairs . I am glad that he didn"t decide to swim through the river .

"How did you find me?"

"Don"t answer a question with a question . "

"Use common sense frequently . "

"Takeuchi . " He turns around and scowls at me . "Don"t try to run away before everything is resolved . "

"I wouldn"t dare to . " Else, you would be looking for me everywhere like this . I am sure that you will also pursue me to h.e.l.l for payback .

"Good girl . " He suddenly pats my head, looking satisfied . "I have sent Takes.h.i.+ and others back . We have to take a train . Let"s hurry . There is a situation at home . "

"What happened?" I follow him . "Earlier, you wanted to talk about something . "

"The pictures from the hotel is on the media . Someone has recorded us when you fell sick at the restaurant," He tells me nonchalantly . "There is another news report that appeared a while ago . Your name is everywhere . Your gamer ident.i.ty and your link with the Kamiyama family is leaked . Kamiyama family"s scandal is also the top news again . "

"Today is really a c.r.a.ppy day . "

"Don"t worry about this . I have already thought of something . "
