My Stubborn Mistress

The silence is deafening him. He understood that these two men tried to torture him. Kier knew that very well... that even they knew already, they will wait for him to speak it out. But among them, there is one person who is impatient.

Daichi slammed his right hand on the table. Shun continued eating.

"d.a.m.n it! If there"s something you wanna say, say it now!"

He heaved a deep sighed. He looks up and studied the mood of these two men.

"Alright, it is not my plan to hide it. It is just the progress is kind of slow... but recently, the latest crime happens inside the hotel. It is time I make a move personally."

He then told that evening he first met Jean, a tourist and Senator Lou. That incident made him a possible prime suspect as few pieces of evidence pointing at him as the mastermind of the human trafficking cases these pa.s.sing years.

"And how long do you plan to keep it to yourself?" Daichi asked him afterward of his long confession.

He just answered him with another sighed then smiled. Something lifts up from his shoulder because he can"t keep it longer.

"Okay. I"ll send a few of the gang near your pad house," Daichi offers.

"Isn"t it will be obvious if some suspicious men wandering around the building every day?"

Daichi smiled meaningfully. "I will ask Professor Ryan to let them stayed for a while on his pad, till your family solve this case. He is the closest one who lives near you."

Kier was surprised. "Don"t tell me, Professor Ryan is one of your men?"

Daichi looks up and meets his gazes innocently while chewing his food. Kier laughs. He can"t believe it.

"Since when?" he asked curiously.

"Hmm... I think, sometimes when you flew to the US to study Law."

Of course, Kier knew Professor Ben Ryan because of, the next year since he was accepted in Harvard, Ben was attending his Medicine course. He knew he shouldn"t underestimate Daichi ever, but he is respecting him even more.

"Thanks."

Daichi gives him a thumbs up and he continued eating.

"Since, it happens within my hotel. I permitted you to use all the resources we have to use the footage as evidence. Moreover, Senator Lou breach our Terms and Conditions." Shun joined their conversation.

"I don"t need to tell you more. You do know what you must do," he added.

Kier nodded. He has the very best and reliable friends in the world, he should never forgotten that. Also, he could ask Rudolf to hack Senator Lou"s computer, maybe they could found more evidence.

"Oi. Tell me... she"s beautiful, right?" Daichi teases him.

Kier pokes Daichi"s forehead. "Ouch!"

Shun just shook his head listening to his friends. Daichi and Kier continued teasing each other. He sighed.

He looks outside of his floor-ceiling window and his gazes pa.s.sed the buildings.

There"s one place he wanted to be right now.

***

Daichi parks his Rover outside of a familiar house. Dana immediately comes out and hug him tightly.

"Look, Shun especially made this for you by the best pâtissier in the world!"

Dana laughs at him for boasting her favorite cake. They entered the house and Dana quickly prepared the tea.

"Here, big sis..." he places the invitation card in the coffee table.

"What is this?" Dana picks up the beautiful envelope and reads what"s written on it. "Bella Collection Fas.h.i.+on Show? She is here?"

"Yes, and she invited you to attend the show."

"Wait, is this real? What I am going to wear?" Dana began panicking.

Daichi laughs. "Don"t worry, Bella prepared one already."

"Really? How did she know of my sizes?"

Daichi grin. "I asked, brother-in-law Mike."

Dana was surprised but then flattered. Her husband still full of surprises until now. Smile playing on her lips.

Daichi could see the sparks in Dana"s eyes. That security and feel love. He was glad that after that horrible past, Dana found the strength to rise and move forward.

"Am I really deserve to be there?" Dana asked curiously why so sudden.

"Of course, you should be there. Bella will turn over the donation they will gather from this Fas.h.i.+on Show. She wanted to have this opportunity to give her support to the Foundation."

Dana became an active volunteer to help abused women and minor children. The Foundation sheltered those nowhere to go and justice is elusive for them.

They will help those victims and abuse to start a new life by guiding them and give them jobs that society won"t judge them.

Most of all, they will receive legal a.s.sistance from the Lawrence Law Firm.

Madam Kaye Lawrence is a public servant as a Women"s voice. She and Dana work together to fight to gain protection for the Women"s rights including the children.

"Kier found a reliable lead to point out the mastermind of this human trafficking case," he told Dana.

"Is that true? Then I will pray that it will be soon. I heard from Madam Lawrence that the foreign victims are increasing. This is also an international affair."

"Yes, big sis. Kier will help to solve this sooner," Daichi holds Dana"s hand. He is so proud of her.

"When this case opens to the public, possibly the International Women a.s.sociation will join to call the justice of those both domestic and International victims."

"Then?" Dana panicked again.

Daichi laughs. "You can do it," he cheered her.

"Uncle Daichi!"

Three children suddenly jump on him. "Hey, hey! You all now heavy! Ugh!"

"That"s enough. Now go and change your school uniform." Mike ordered his children.

"Daichi, glad you able to come home," Mike said.

"Really? Like you didn"t know that one of these days, Daichi would come." Dana teased her husband. Mike laughs. He knew his crime, he secretly took Dana"s current vital statistics for the fittings of the gown.

"Now I know why you drag me into walking and even bought a treadmill!" Dana scolded him. Mike just continue laughing.

"Of course it is a big day for my wife. And I did not tell you because I know you will only feel anxious and won"t sleep and will just thinking about it."

Dana gives a long face. Mike planted a kiss in front of Daichi. Anyways, Daichi is used to with it already as he lives with them together since Junior High. He just shook his head.

"I"ll go prepare the dinner," he volunteers.

"We will help you too, uncle Daichi!" The children running down the stairs.

"Kids be careful!" Dana warns.

"Okay! Come on!"
