The Mess We Made

Chapter 20

Danny's POV

I tried calling Ryujin again but all I was now getting was a dial tone. "Did this bitch block me now?" I said looking up at Alfie, Willow, Abby and Lily were with me right now.

It's been a week since I have had a conversation with Ryujin which is weird because she was with here every day. At first, I thought she was just busy but she's not replying to my text nor is she picking up my calls. Things just feel weird. Like this is the calm before the storm.

"She must be busy, Danny, relax." Willow said, holding my hand. Alfie got up from his chair as he took the leftover from my lunch box and started eating it

"Didn't you say she has a concert coming up?" he said as he ate the rice with fish.

"Yeah it starts in 3 days if I'm not wrong." Abby said pulling out her.

Well if the 'Everything Marcella Encyclopedia' is saying it starts in 3 days then it's probably true.

"Yeah maybe it's just that." I said and got out of the bed when Alfie started choking on rice. We all looked at him confused as Abby helped him but his attention was somewhere else. I followed his eyesight to see he was looking at the tv. That's when I saw the photo of Ryujin kissing someone. The news outlets were not sure about who it was because that person was fully covered.

"What shit is this?" I said as I looked at the TV then at other people. "I-I don't know" Abby said quickly taking out her phone. "She has never made things soo public. There's already a statement out from her company. Which is again weird cause they at least take a day before replying." She added and then gave me her phone.

I called her up using my phone as I read the statement. It said 'Ryujin is in a relationship but would like privacy, as the other person is not from the entertainment world.' She once told me she will never be in a public relationship because she hates the lack of privacy and now she's doing this with someone else?

I heard the same dial tone making me want to throw my phone. As soon as I hung up I got a message from Ryujin.

From Ryujin: It's true. As you know, we were never really committed so I was seeing him too and we decided to take the next step in our relationship. I was being linked with too many people so we decided to go public. I hope you can respect my decision and not contact me anymore.

"What bullshit is this?" I said giving my phone to Willow. Navy walked into the room all smiling but his smile quickly fell when he looked at me.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Willow read the message and then gave the phone to Navy.

"Do you want me to ask one of our men to get her here?" He asked and I shook my head.

"If you don't want the Mafia to get involved I can get the royal guards to do it." Willow said and I still shook my head no.

"She told me to respect her decision. Therefore, that's what I'm going to do. Plus I think there is some other reason why this is all of a sudden happening. I need to figure out that before I go to her to demand answers otherwise she'll just spin another web of lies."

"Danny don't do something dumb. You're going to get discharged soon so lay low for a few days." Navy said and i just nodded.

They tried to talk to me but I just told them that I felt tired so I told them to left me.

Ryujin you really think I won't be able to figure out your stupid lies.

*2 Weeks Later*

I was sitting in the office. Well it was more like a hotel room which was newly converted into an office. I told mom I would prefer working from the hotel then the office at the HQ so they prepared an office for me here. Although that office is still there and I gotta go there at least twice a week.
