Our Love Child | Kou x Reader

A few days later...

"Eva got released."

Smash!

Those three words alone was enough to paralysis me in place, causing me to drop the plate I was holding onto the ground. It's only been a couple of days since my release and this happens.

Great!

"N-Neko chan, careful!" Kou hurried over to me, pulling me away from the pieces as I frowned, looking at him. "They said there wasn't enough evidence prior to the incident."

"Was me not being stabbed enough evidence?" I choked out, pacing around the room. It's not that I'm scared of Eva, I'm scared of her ruining my family. "Kou what am I going to do?" I looked up at him worrying, imagining every scenario in the book. I bit my hoodie sleeve in stress but Kou patted my back to reassure me.

"I'm here now!" He responded, lifting my chin as I glanced up at him. "I'll protect you, I promise." I sighed before nodding, hugging him tightly for comfort as I hid myself in my worries. "We can file for a restraining order for now." He suggested as I looked down.

"How long will that take?" I scoffed, looking away. "Kou I'm not safe as long as she's around. She could be outside that door." I frowned, playing with my fingers. Kou looked away, trying to think of something to say but nothing came to mind. And honestly, I don't blame him.

"Should we relocate first?" Kou suggested, looking around the place. "If you don't feel safe at home, we should move somewhere." I bit my lip as I glanced around the place. Sure, he was right, but how could I disregard the memories of this place?

"Mummy." My heart froze hearing the angel's voice as I looked over at Emilio who had a worried expression on his face. "Are you ok?"

"E-Emi, don't move." I quickly said, seeing he was about to walk over to us. I gulped, looking down at the floor sighing at the broken pieces. Will my life end up like this? I took a deep breath and decided to sweep the broken pieces up before throwing it away, dusting my hands off. As I was about to walk over, I felt something tight around my leg, as I looked down seeing Emilio hugging my leg.

What did I honestly do to deserve him...?

"Don't cry." He muttered as I bit my lip trying my best not to. He truly is my biggest weakness. I sighed softly, picking him up to carry him before taking a deep breath. I swore to myself the day Emilio was born that I would protect him and give him a life better than mine, so I intend to keep my promise.

"I'm not crying, don't worry." I lightly laughed before looking over at Kou, taking a deep breath.

To protect what I have...

"Let's watch a movie, the moods quite down huh?" I lightly smiled as the two males exchanged looks before nodding at me. They probably sense that I'm not feeling ok but nonetheless agreed. Humming softly, I walked into the living room, trying to take my mind off this.

Almost impossible but I have to try.
