•MAROON• .RIN ITOSHI.

|Chapter Six|

When the silence came, we were shaking blind and hazy
How the hell did we lose sight of us again?

"you look great, Mrs. Itoshi." The maid purred in my ear, making my hair. I stared myself in the mirror in front of me.

It has been a while I saw myself, this pretty. I forgot about how actually pretty I looked. A small smile formed on my lips, agreeing with her.

I would be the first hostage who is treated like a queen. My diamonds sparkled like stars, the elongated earrings, with the necklace, on the table top of the dressing table.

Maria, stood up from the back, coming in front of me, with a smile. "May I help you with anything else, Mrs. Itoshi?" Sparing a quick glance at her, I shook my head. "No, thank you."

She bowed walking out of the room. I stood up, watching my full body, back and forth. This was how I use to live. In the course of hiding and escaping, I forgot the quality of life I use to have.

The black, satin dress, hugged my frame, beautifully, ending to my knees. The sleeves were full upto my wrists, with the little frills on the end, with a v-neck, stopping in the middle of my chest, and a small bow, on the end, knotting the both ends together.

It gave somewhat, Victorian age impression, which is my favorite, and oddly he knows that. He knows everything about me. My likes, my dislikes; my good, my bad; my best and my worst.

I can't help it but find myself so lame, when it comes to know each other. He's acknowledged almost my every goddamn interest, whereas, I?

I know nothing about him.

I don't even know, how did he become a great businessman, from a poor, nervous guy. The last i remember him, was when we were in highschool. Ironically, I never knew, he went to the same school as me, until he told me himself, one day.

Picking up the earrings, I put them on. They do suited me pretty well. But I don't feel happy at all. I was dolling up for him, not by my own will, of course.

I picked up the necklace, putting it around my neck. But, it's difficult to put it on by yourself. You don't have eyes in the back, right?

I was struggling. To hook the end.

Maybe I shouldn't have sent, Maria.

I sighed, taking the necklace in my palm. It's so pretty, I wanted to wear it, but I don't want to, also. After all, it will make him happy, not me. I am only doing it because he said. I put it down, staring at it.

Why am I so pathetic? Why do father has to do such miserable misfortune with me?

A tear rolled down my cheek. Just when I heard a knock on the door. Wiping the tear immediately, I turned to it, grasping the knob.

My eyes flew open, realizing, it was Rin. I thought it was Maria, who came to check on me.

His eyes eyed me, top to bottom. With a smirk on his face. "You look amazing, doll." He mused, stepping inside, backing me off, closing the door behind him. I stepped back, looking in his eyes.

"Thank you." I mumbled slowly, putting my hand on my other arm, averting my gaze. The nerve-racking nervousness I feel, when he's in front of me, I can't help. It's a mixture of hopelessness, disgust, anger and hate.

He tilted my face towards him, grasping my jaw, gently. He's never harsh on me. Unless I don't do something, savage. That's also not punishable in some kind of torments. Torments would be better, but he asks me to behave like his wife.
