Chapter 95: Escape

"The three of you have one mission each."

A pair of light gray orbs blankly look up to a tall man with brown eyes. This occurred in the early June the previous year. She, together with two other women, are tasked to work for a certain powerful man in all of Europe.

"You shall be known as Yanagi Manabe, a woman with the spitting image of Yukino Miyazaki. I assign you to work for Kazutora Hanemiya. Given his natural soft heart towards women, he will welcome you. Never approach him too little or often. Just orbit around him, enough to stir slight confusion on Yukino Miyazaki. Blend gradually in his life. Wait for them to make it official. When the time is ripe, strike in their lowest point."

I am a hired actress. Hired by Paradiso to circle around a certain man named Kazutora Hanemiya. An ex-convict who is deeply in love with Yukino Miyazaki. A misfortunate man who happens to share the same feelings with one of Paradiso's main targets, Sanzu Haruchiyo.

Kazutora isn't the enemy.

Bonten is.

In order to complete Paradiso's plan which is to destroy Bonten, Yukino Miyazaki must fall in their hands. But they cannot simply obtain her with Bonten protecting her.

Thus, in the middle of 2017, Paradiso came up with the plan. The plan to obtain this woman. And this will easily happen...when she's vulnerable. Once she gets hurt by the man she trusts most, by the man she loves, by the man whom she believes will never betray her: Kazutora Hanemiya.

As ordered by Paradiso's boss, Ira Poderoso, I worked as a vet for the pet shop of Kazutora Hanemiya and Chifuyu Matsuno for a short amount of time, just enough to get close to the two men, who are entangled with Yukino Miyazaki. I purposely worked with these two. Plan A is Kazutora Hanemiya. Plan B is Chifuyu Matsuno. 

In case the first plan doesn't work, another plan is there to succeed.

In order to avoid qualms, I hired another actor to play as my husband. I thought that I needed to be married, in order for Yukino Miyazaki not to suspect me too much. 

When I noticed the two of them getting closer, I know that I need to be in his proximity as well. And so, I applied as an instructor where Kazutora Hanemiya studies at. All for two reasons: first, to get even more closer to my target; and second, to stimulate jealousy in Yukino Miyazaki. The thought of someone looking almost identical to her, but even more sophisticated, refined, and perfect, is circling around a certain man that she is falling for? Anyone would be threatened.

I also hired a tail to follow Yukino Miyazaki around. So that I am aware of her whereabouts. Including when she went to the Safari with Sanzu Haruchiyo. She have to see for herself, that her lover...has another woman around him. Knowing her kind empath nature, she will surely decide to listen and trust the gentleman, kind, and handsome Kazutora Hanemiya.

Imagine feeling complete trust and belief towards a person. And then get betrayed and crushed by them after.

Apologies, Kazutora Hanemiya, Yukino Miyazaki.

Nothing personal. Purely business.

"Yukino Miyazaki is on her way. Be ready."

"Already am." Yanagi Manabe replies with a blank expression and puts down her phone. Then, she turns to the direction of the sleeping figure of a long-haired victim of hers, with nothing on, just his white blanket covering both his genitals and hers.

Yesterday, together with the whole section taking Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, they went to grab a drink in a nearby bistro. Kazutora Hanemiya has high alcohol tolerance, so it was hard for her. Thus, she drugged this innocent man during their drinking session, passing him out. That's when she brought him to the pet shop where he is now alone, to prepare her grand stage.
