"It's confirmed, Boss. Bonten's advisor, Takeomi Akashi, is getting married next week."

A pair of brown eyes looked at his subordinate who just came in his office while he is puffing a cigarette.

"Is that so?" he asks and then chuckled to himself.

"Yes. The wedding will be held in Maldives. The rest of Bonten aside from Sanzu Haruchiyo are set to fly there tomorrow morning. It is still unknown if he will be joining the ceremony as well." As Ira Poderoso learns this, he only sat on his chair comfortably.

"I can't believe they are having a wedding without inviting me." He uttered before smirking and eyeing back Orgullo.

"There's more, Sir."

"Sanzu Haruchiyo and Miss Yukino Miyazaki are in New York. She confirmed." When Paradiso's boss heard that, he cannot help but narrow his gaze.

"Really?" The boss hums and starts to chuckle.


"New orders, Orgullo."

"Tell her to release the hostages once Bonten has fled Japan. And..." he says before standing up from his seat.

"Go crash a wedding and kill the bride." What the boss said made the obsidian eyed Orgullo to nod.

"What about Yukino Miyazaki, Sir?" he asks which make the boss turn his way with another wider smirk.


"As much as possible, I wanted her to come to me on her own accord. But maybe that was just a fleeting dream." Ira says before lighting a cigarette. 

"Bring her to me, Orgullo. She's a great replacement to Agatha Minami." When his boss said this, Orgullo sighed deeply...in disagreement.


Truth be told, he doesn't like the female doctor one bit. He doesn't understand why their boss has been taking a liking to her. If ever he is given the order to end her pathetic life, he would be glad to do so.

"Yes, Boss." He replied with a bow. Then, he stepped out of the huge office of Paradiso's boss. Behind him are his loyal men...ready to follow an order to crash a certain wedding.


"Time for the next stage, Bonten. Let's do this the traditional way." Ira Poderoso utters to himself before chuckling evilly.

"Where is he?" A worried Yukino utters to herself and glances at the clock.

It's 10:30 PM yet a certain long-haired male is still not back in the residence where she has been waiting for him for three nights now.

Last Tuesday, the two of them were just fine when they went home from their night stroll at the Hudson River. He even enjoyed the curry she cooked for the two of them the next morning. But later that night, she disappointed him. 

The next morning, his presence around the whole place is nowhere to be seen. Last night, he also didn't come back.

Tonight, on a Friday night, he isn't back still.

She once again got reminded of what occurred last Wednesday evening.
