☯ XLIX: Crumbling

'Breaking news. Tech genius, tycoon, investor, and humanitarian. Today, the young woman conquering the world with her charm opened a new center for orphans in Japan. Join us on the facility tour!'

"Stop watching that old recording."

With her gone, it was the only way to remind her beautiful face and angelic voice. Y/n never picked up his insistent calls, and the rest didn't allow him to go looking for her.

Izana ignored the one rebuking him, zipping his beverage and keeping his eyes glued to the love of his life. He couldn't accept he dared to break her trust by opening an old scar on her soul.

Lies. Affairs.

'Any new projects you have ahead?' The interviewer asked Y/n, welcoming the first kids to their new home.

'Right now, I want to focus on myself,' she answered with a smile, concealing the void she had after discovering her fiance cheating on her.

The only noise in the dark living room was the TV for a long moment.

Her words resounded in the back of Izana's brain, remembering their last fight before she announced her departure. "I gave you my life, even a country. I was about to give you the world, and it wasn't enough."

"Nothing can fill this hollow heart. I've tried everything." A creepy smile formed on Izana's face, and the treads of tears fell down his cheeks. "Once she comes back, I'll make it out for her. I'll do it right."

"What makes you think she will come back? You made sure to leave nothing for her to hold on to this place." Mikey bitterly spat, fisting his hands at his side, repressing his anger.

"She loves me as much as I do." The older one paused the screen at the moment when she was genuinely laughing and playing with some children and Kakucho.

"What kind of joke is that?" He couldn't keep hold of his resentment anymore and walked toward the man, placing himself in front of him. "If you love her as much as you say, Y/n would still be here."

The black-haired guy took the other by the collar of his jacket. Izana was raised from his seat and looked straight into his brother's dark eyes.

"This sick obsession with her is ruining your life. Look at you, Izana. You get drunk and sleep with whoever you find. You lost all reliability. You're not even the boss anymore. You don't deserve her."

Falling to the couch, he laughed to piss his companion even more. "And you think you do, Mikey?"

"No. That's why I'll make sure Y/n doesn't come back. Forget about her as she did."

✱

Members of Toman had problems with the second-largest criminal organization in Japan. The big battle between them had drawn the attention of the police even though they weren't in the system.

Both groups were about to strike a peace deal and split the shares of the profits, becoming one to quell the suspicion.

The rival leader agreed to leave Toman on top in exchange for becoming an admin and getting his criminal profile taken down from the Japanese database.

"Why he's late? We should kill him."

"If we could kill Sniper, we would have long ago."

"Y/n would have helped us to locate him. Just saying."

"Y/n this, she that. Stop depending on her." The bored male spat.

"I agree with Mikey. Besides, we're about to come to the best agreement. Once they're in, we can begin to eliminate them and take over their businesses."
