"GHB. The water she drank had party drugs. We looked for fingerprints from the glass but we only found hers." The investigator said and as much as he wanted to move her out of the mansion, he knew that her family would not let him.
After the investigation, they also checked the surveillance cameras around the whole mansion. They saw nothing suspicious with everyone's actions during that time. It was also impossible for Fuyu to do it to herself since he tired her out and she was asleep. He also knew that she would not do anything to harm herself. He looked at her and she was just lying down on the bed. Her body started to relax but because of what happened to her during the incident, it gave her a panic attack.
"Angel, how are you feeling?" He asked and she just smiled faintly. The drug is still active in her body and the investigator said that it would be hard for them to detect who was the culprit since it will just stay in her body for some hours. After that, it will disappear as if she didn't take it.
"Should we.. go to another country instead?" She suddenly suggested and he furrowed his brows. Leaving the country was never in his options when solving problems. He gently caressed her hair and shook his head. They were supposed to be a tough couple. What happened to that?
"I will protect you no matter what happens, Angel. Even if it takes my life." He tried to assure her that everything would be alright when she would be with him but she felt like she was the reason why those things were happening to them.
Meanwhile, Lauren was panting heavily. She held his hand tightly as they escaped the mansion. Kazuma was carrying her luggage and they immediately went inside the car to drive away. She was hiding the rope marks around her wrists and ankles and she would never want to tell him what her family did to her during those weeks she was away from him. She almost cried but she reminded herself that she would be strong for both of them.
She doesn't know anymore if she will be able to attend university after this but she is still hopeful that they will receive help from their friends. They eloped and as long as they love each other, she would not regret her decision. Kazuma turned right and they arrived at Riku's apartment after half an hour. They couldn't stay there longer or else, Lauren's family will be able to find them. When Gia learned what happened to the couple, she immediately gave them one of her private houses near the university. The older one assured them that they would be safe there. Riku also hired a few bodyguards for them. They will move out of the apartment later that night. For now, he will pack his things up. She left her phone at the mansion to make sure they would not be able to track her down.
"Should I look for a part-time job?" She asked and Kazuma stopped from folding his shirts. He looked at her and she smiled faintly. She held his hand while looking down. It was a difficult decision for both of them. From now on, they will only rely on themselves. They need to earn money for their daily necessities.
"Just a part-time job. We need money for our food and other things. Just little by little." She added and he kissed her forehead. He held her hand tighter and he nodded. This surprised her since she thought he would not accept her decision.
"We should ask Sho instead. I'm sure he will give us part-time jobs." He said and she nodded while smiling widely. They would turn eighteen soon, so it would be fine for them to have part-time jobs. He took his phone from his pocket and dialed Sho's number.
On the other hand, Gia has been preparing her things for tomorrow's first day of classes. She let out a sigh, thinking about everything that might happen to them in the future. She heard a knock from outside and she opened the door. It was Riku. He was with Kazuma and Lauren. She immediately hugged them, especially Lauren and it seemed like the younger one forgot what really happened that time.
"I heard from Sho that he gave you a part-time job at the private museum." Gia said and the younger couple nodded. Since it is a private museum, they will be given two-days training and then, the contract will last for a year and if they still need money at that time, they can renew their contracts.
"We will start the training tomorrow after classes. Do you want to go with us? It is also the museum that Sho built for Fuyu." Kazuma said and she nodded while smiling softly. She thinks that if they will be together, they will all be safe.
"Do you have news about Hokuto and Itsuki?" Gia asked as they walked inside her bedroom. She also asked her nanny to prepare snacks for them. They were still anxious but they were trying their best to cope up.
"Both of them went to other countries for now. They will spend their first years there." Riku said and somehow, this made them sad. They know that they couldn't help but to accept their decision to leave Japan. It is also for their own safety.
"Sho and Fuyu said that they will arrive here later. They are just finishing some important matters." Riku added. Gia looked at him and he smiled. She rested her head on his shoulder and the younger couple started teasing them.
"So, what's the real deal between you two?" Lauren asked and Gia just chuckled softly. Until now, they have not told anyone about their relationship. They preferred it private because they think that they are the only ones who can solve their own problems.
"He is still courting me." Gia finally answered while pointing at Riku. The oldest among them laughed softly and nodded. He gently pulled her closer and left a kiss on top of her head. They suddenly heard a knock from outside and it was her nanny. Kazuma was the one who opened the door and the tray of food and drinks crashed on the floor.
