The Demon Prince Wants His Wife Back |BossNoeul|FortPeat|

1: The CEO

***

Majestic. Gorgeous. A blessed man with everything beautiful in this world. Being the only son of the Kirigun family, Rain Kirigun has proven himself worthy of all the praises and compliments.

At 28, Rain took over one of his father's company and in just a span of four months he has shown immense improvement. Everyone, both inside and outside the company, couldn't help but admire him even more. Adding his manners and humble personality, Rain is the epitome of an angel sent from above.

However, like always, not everything is as it seems. Behind his perfect image lies a troubled and exhausted Rain who only wanted a normal life. Normal meaning to be able to sleep and live normally away from everyone's prying eyes.

"Good morning, sir Rain." A voice greeted Rain as soon as he opened his eyes.

Getting up, Rain turned to the mirror to check his reflection. Sleepless nights usually cause people to deteriorate but no matter how many years it's been— he still looks glowing even without much rest. Sweaty and messy but still definitely glowing.

"Sky, I told you to call me Rain when we're alone, right?" Rain asked the man that stood by the door.

Sky is Rain's secretary/personal butler and also his childhood friend. Coming from the family that served the Kirigun family for years, Sky dedicated his life to serve this generation's heir—Rain Kirigun. With the same dedication that his late father has given in serving Rain's father, Sky promised to serve Rain with the best of his capabilities.

Though growing up together, there's still a fine line between master and servant. Still, no matter how much Sky distances himself from Rain, the latter seemed to care less about their status. Since Sky can't force the young master to act indifferently, it's up to him to distance himself.

"Another dream?" Sky asked as he got near Rain and wiped his neck and face, tapping the towel softly while Rain undressed himself.

"You mean another nightmare." Rain corrected as he let out a sigh.

Serving Rain for so long, Sky also knows how much the young master's been suffering from this certain nightmare and it pains him that they have to hide it from Rain's parents. The reason being that Rain's parents already tried everything and reached out to everyone that could cure his condition to no avail. Seeing his parent's burden and the fact that they blamed themselves for everything, Rain decided to come up with a lie.

'I'm fine now.'

Simple words that relieved his parents immensely but this white lie tortured Rain throughout the years. Having to pretend that everything was fine—it was unbearable. Still, Rain was able to go through everything with Sky's help.

"Sky. Why do you think is this happening?" Rain asked while Sky was busy tapping the towel on the latter's bare chest.

"The bad dream?" Sky asked, this time looking at Rain and realized how their faces were so close—too close.

"A-ahem. I'll get your bath ready." Sky said as he moved away before heading to the bathroom.

"Tsk." Rain clicked his tongue at how Sky seemed to be avoiding him lately.

Well, Sky was always hostile even before but it's been quite obvious lately and Rain can't help but be bothered by it.

"Hey. Are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" Rain asked as he stood behind Sky who was busy checking the bath water's temperature.

"I'm not—" Sky paused as soon as he turned to Rain who was now completely naked.

"What?" Rain asked with his hands on his waist as Sky closed his eyes in frustration.
