Chapter 15

Your POV

I woke up to a strange place. My eyes are still blurry but I can feel that my hands and feet are tied to a chair. My mouth is also taped shut. My body is aching as well.

I was supposed to get home when I got abducted. I started to think about Haru, will he be mad at me? Maybe he's worried right now.

I started to look around the room when I heard some rustling sounds.

"Is the princess already awake?" The man spoke with his raspy voice.

Have I seen him before? He looks familiar.

My eyebrows furrowed and he noticed it.

"Ah yes, we've met before. I went to the cafe." He grinned, a grin that sent chills down my spine.

He's that guy. Haru's right. He is dangerous. I should've listened to him, if I just listened maybe nothing of this happened.

The guy grabbed a chair and sat across me. He touched my cheeks and put a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

"My name's Hanma. Do you want to hear a story?" He chuckled. Man is he going crazy? He kidnapped me just to tell a story?

"You're wondering for sure why you're here."

I nodded as a response. This tape sure feels itchy.

The guy leaned his head back and puff a smoke of his cigarette.

"Once upon a time, there's this girl. She is the beloved daughter of a powerful leader of one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Japan. Let's call her Y/N."

I looked at him intently. Me? Daughter of a powerful leader? Is he serious? I never met my dad and my mom died when I was young.

"Her daddy decided to keep her safe from the dangerous world of crimes. So he made the most dreadful decision. He had someone to take care of her, far away from him. He treasures his daughter the most as she is the only family he has left and she looked like her deceased mom."

My brows are knitted together. Finding it hard to grasp the information I discovered. I shaked my head furiously as a sign of disagreement with him.

"You do not want to believe me?" He laughed maniacally, as if he was speaking with a crazy person.

"The mom you grew up with is just a paid nanny to take care of you. Ever wondered why you only have one picture with her? And why she never treated you like her own kid? It's because she's just a paid nanny." He continued laughing as if it was some comedy to him.

My tears started to cascade down my face. I'm having a hard time to digest everything all at once.

It all makes sense now. How my 'mom' treated me. She never told me that she loves me. She just acts like some babysitter, barely giving me affection.

"Wanna know why your dad killed her?"

I nodded my head. That scene has become a nightmare for me as I watched my 'mom' became lifeless and gasped for an air to breathe for the last time.

Her last words haunt me ever since. How she begged for her life.

"Your daddy found out that she was about to sell you on some Yakuza. She would have been a millionaire if your daddy didn't found out." He smirked. There's something in this man that scares me.

I've been asking my self my whole life, why she was murdered. What did she do to deserve that kind of death? Now, everything is clear to me.

"Your daddy has been protecting you from a far ever since the day you were born." He paused, inhaling another puff from his cigarette.

"However, all his safety precautions just went down the drain when Bonten decided to take down your father using you."

"Bonten's number 2 or your so called Haru, is the main reason why you are here."

Shock was an understatement. I couldn't find myself how to react properly on his statement.

Haru? He is the one who dragged me in this mess? It couldn't be him, right? He said he loves. He said he'll protect so there's no way he would want to harm me, right?

Or maybe, I am just a pawn to their endless crime.

Before I knew it, I was once again put into sleep by Hanma.

"Sleep tight princess. Things about to get exciting."

"Just step on the fucking gas! Damn it!" Sanzu is practically screaming at Kakucho right now.

As promised, Kakucho and Mochizuki will bring them to the warehouse where you're being kept.

"If anything happens to her, I'll fucking kill all of you." Sanzu threatened, rage still in his eyes.

"Calm down Sanzu. We'll get there." Ran said trying to calm the enraged man.

"Don't bother on calming him down, brother. An enraged dog only listens to his master." Rindou stated.

Koko chuckled at Rindou's remark. He finds it entertaining how the trio gets along.

With all the ruckus in the car, Mochizuki is the only one who seems to be calm.

"What's up with you?" Koko asked him.

"I'm just thinking of ways how to kill that fucking Hanma." Mochizuki answered, still in his thinking position.

"Still can't accept the truth that he used you?" Sanzu taunted the man while smirking.

An irk mark appear on Mochizuki's forehead. Completely annoyed with the fact that he got used by someone much lower than him.

They entered a road that is being surrounded by trees. As they go deeper and deeper in the somewhat forest looking place, they reached an abandoned building.

"We're here." Kakucho stated.

"Let's get this done quickly." Ran said, placing his gun in his holster and his baton in his right hand.

"I want to break some limbs tonight." Rindou stated while cracking his knuckles, his gun already loaded.

"I'll take you back, Y/N. Wait for me." Sanzu said as he loads his gun with bullets. His katana neatly placed in his baldric.

As they entered the building, they were greeted by Guren and his men.

"Where's my daughter?" Guren sternly asked.

As Sanzu was about to speak, he was cut off by a laugh.

"Oh, they're already here." Hanma laughed, "Are you looking for this?" He continued.

A light was shone on your place. The men gasped at your pitiful state. Laying down in a concrete floor. Face covered with hair. Hands and feet tied. Body littered with bruises.

You being abducted was enough for Sanzu to be mad but seeing you in this state, all hell will break loose. No one can hurt his Y/N. Not on his watch.

"HANMA! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO Y/N?" Sanzu screamed at Hanma.

This made the latter laugh, obviously enjoying how things are escalating.

"Now now, you gonna go against Mikey? Are you sure with that?" Hanma taunted the rose haired man.

"I'll fucking kill whoever lays their filthy finger on her. I will protect her. Even if it will cost my life." Sanzu stated. Firm with his words.

Guren cannot believe what he heard. How come the Bonten's number 2, the most loyal out of all the executives, go against his king.

"You gonna fight me now, Sanzu?" Mikey said as he emerged from nowhere. His eyes still cold and lifeless.

Sanzu held his katana tightly. Saving you is the only thing in his mind right now.

"I'll risk my life if it means I get to keep her safe."
