35 : It Begins (Our Empire Needs Help From No One)

[ NISHIMURA MIU ]

A familiar ceiling was the first thing I noticed the moment I opened my eyes. I whimpered and tried to stand up but something's stopping me to do so.

Jay's arm was wrapped around me. He squeezed my waist and groaned, "Don't move."

I am not wearing anything except for this oversized white shirt which I am guessing is his'. I looked at him and noticed he was half-naked. I immediately looked away.

What the fuck did we just do last night?!

I pushed his hand away and tried to stand up again but unfortunately failed because of the pain I felt between my legs.

"I told you not to move." He uttered with a chuckle. I frowned and told him to shut up. I tried standing up again and this time, I successfully did it.

"Where are you going, baby? We're not yet done." He grinned,

I glared at him, "I have a class, idiot."

"You're in pain. You need to rest." The tone of his voice was serious but his face says otherwise. I know he's going to laugh anytime soon.

"It's your fault!" I grabbed the pillow from his bed and threw it on his face. "If only you didn't..."

"If only I didn't what?" He arched his brow, "But you enjoyed it-"

"Fuck you!" I glared at him.

He stood up and walked towards me. He positioned himself behind me as he slowly snaked his hands around my waist, "I was just kidding, love. Does it hurt? I'm sorry..."

These fucking butterflies again. My knees almost melted when he gently planted a kiss on my nape, "What do you want for breakfast?"

I swallowed hard when his lips started to move from my nape down to my shoulder, "Anything," I answered.

"Anything? What's anything? Is that even edible?"

I scoffed and looked at our reflection through the mirror in front of us, "Pancakes and Omelette, then."

His chuckle vibrated on my shoulder which sends me shivers down my spine, "Yes, Ma'am. How about your drink?"

"J-Just tea."

"What kind of tea?"

"Anything."

"Anything? What's anything? Is that even a-"

I elbowed his stomach. He playfully groaned and laughed afterwards, "I'm just teasing you. Alright... give me 40 minutes."

ALMOST a month had passed already. I have completed all the requirements needed for the graduation. I am just waiting for the announcement regarding our ceremony.

Jay is currently busy with something. He is still not aware of me, knowing about him, being a part of iustitia servietur and I don't have any plans on telling him.

I am also busy dealing with the Tanaka Mafia. I have found out that one of our people is their spy.

I already know who, but I am afraid to tell my brother about it.

I know there's something going on between him and Kang Yena. Riki loathes betrayals. Once he learns of her doings... he will be in pain.

"Kang Yena's father once worked under the Nishimura Empire. He was killed while doing his job and Yena thinks we took his father's life."

When in fact, it was the Tanaka. The empire she is currently helping to bring us down.

I sighed at Asahi's statement. I massaged my forehead and closed my eyes, "Anything else?"

"I am afraid to say that Tanaka is on the move again."

They're really obsessed with us, huh?

"And?"

"We're waiting for your order. We can't just stay still, Young Lady."

I stood up as I walked towards the luxurious paintings decorated on the walls of this office, "I am giving you my approval to this matter, Asahi. Do your best."

My brow arched when he didn't respond. I turned around and looked at him. He kept on swallowing his saliva, his mouth opened for a bit, as if he's hesitating to talk.

"Why?" I suspiciously asked,

"Your fiancé is part of a powerful elite organization, Young Lady and he's the current superior. The highest rank. He's basically the one running the organization. If we ask for help-"

I sarcastically chuckled, "Don't make me laugh, Asahi. Our empire needs help from no one...

... even from my own fiancé."
