Second chance to love you

Divorce(edited)

Immediately the room fell into a deep suffocating tension. Everyone turned stiff with fear, pulsating through their veins as they watched Ethan's silent emotionless face. 

However, the calmness on his face was the very factor that made everyone present want to run for the hills. The murderous intent In his eyes could not be hidden by his stoic expression. The only sound heard was the whispering of the wind and the drumming of their hearts pounding. The silence felt suffocating as everyone watched Ethan's reaction wearily.

And no doubt Ethan's face was frightening, he was livid. He had a hunch about her weird behavior and motive, but her directly confirming his thoughts was something else, it was worse than he thought.

'If that's the case, why don't you drop the act and tell me directly ' He thought bitterly.

However, the words refused to escape his mouth.

Ethan clenched his jaw, he gripped his fists so hard his knuckles turned white. He couldn't believe he almost fell for her act, he snickered mockingly, self-mocking.

He thought Akira would love him one day, heck it would be a miracle if she would like him, even as a friend. 

 It angered him how much she affected him but Ethan had to admit, he enjoyed the short moment of 'affection' she gave him, even if it was fake. His chest hurt, a wave of sadness and pain flooded his chest but his facial expression showed no sense of pain. His face was cold, hard, and furious. Emotions were a weakness, he knew that but he still willing jumped into her darkness, willfully chained himself to her torture.

But Akira saw through his strong facade, she could see it in his eyes. Many would have seen the rage but Akira perceived more than anger, she saw the hurt. Her heart ached for him, and guilt clawed at her. She swore to love and cherish him properly, until her last breath. She glanced around the room. The guards were ready to attack her. 

Akira briefly wondered if this was a good idea. One word from Ethan, these men will shoot her down on the spot within seconds but her confidence did not waver. She knew her husband well. He would never give such an order, hell he wouldn't even order a single strand of her hair to be harmed, that's just how much he loves her. He faces the world, protecting her relentlessly and determined to stay by her side, even when she continuously stabs his heart and pushes him away. Akira felt her heart melt, she was going to love him immensely, just as he loved her.

"Akira, Are you nuts ?! At least explain yourself before you get yourself in deeper trouble." Victoria scolded condescendingly.

" Akira ... I know you still love me .. but please this is crazy! Does your life not matter to you anymore?! All for what? Money? an escape?" Coleen spoke softly, his voice dripped with concern but he helped Victoria in slandering Akira. 

"I should be saying the same thing to you too Mr Colton." Ethan's voice was deep and gruff with contained anger.

"We all know your incredibly selfish personality, you want to rob my master of his wealth, Unfortunately for you, I'm not going to let that happen, " The unknown man said threateningly, pulling out his twin daggers. 

Akira recognized them immediately. The same silver dragon-carved twin daggers that Lee often used. It was him.

"That's the thing you don't understand, Lee. When I say I have ulterior motives, I mean I have changed, I don't want to fight him." She said, her legs crossed over each other.

"I want to kill him." 

His hands twirled the daggers as he spun them. In minutes, more and more of Ethan's men followed his lead. Now Akira had ten guns aimed at her head. Despite this, Akira was unfazed. A few of the servants shivered, pitying the poor woman about to be shot, while others sneered.
