Forbidden Love

21. Ultimate Revenge

When Akito heard from her attorney and allies that Kyo escaped, she was shocked. She paced around nervously. That shy, scared, obedient pet monster of hers, turned into a real monster, someone who could do anything for revenge and feared nothing.

When Akito found out that Kyo was the one who killed his own ex-bodyguard so brutally, she couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't believe her Kyo, her kitten would do something like that. She believed she could still tame him. She even tried to capture him again, when Kyo killed her parents. But the recent events shocked her to the core.

Kyo had turned into a rebel a long time ago, when he decided to fall in love with Tohru. But Tohru's death had caused him to turn into a fearless, merciless murderer. Akito still remembered the look Kyo gave her when she was torturing him and Tohru in that den. Tohru's one word, one smile, and a little encouragement turned that scared kitten into a fearless tiger.

And that disturbed Akito. She still remembered the attorney's words. "Mrs. Akito, please be careful. I saw tremendous hatred and determination for revenge in that boy's eyes. He fears and cares for nothing. Even death can't scare him. And people who aren't afraid of anything are the most dangerous people in this world. They are hard to stop or defeat." The attorney said.

"What nonsense?! He gets breathless if I raise my voice!" Akito shouted. "That might've been in the past, Mrs. Akito. Because right now, even harsh beatings couldn't shake him or make him agree to your terms. He even spat out on the papers I forged so that you could get him back. He's not weak either, because he had a very muscular body, unlike what you said of him being frail and weak. He's nothing like what you described him to be. Instead, he's like a fearless tiger, ready to hunt and kill humans in the city, disregarding its own safety. He can do anything to avenge that girl's death. He has become a daring devil Mrs. Akito, and he's coming for you."

Not only him, even the police who accompanied the attorney said the same thing. "Akito-sama, with all due respect, that boy can do anything. I mean, if you were in a meeting anywhere, he can just barge in and shoot you. He wouldn't even budge while doing that. It's like someone has taken away all the fear and feelings in him. The only feeling he has is pure hate and revenge."

At that moment, Tohru's words echoed in Akito's ears:

'He needs nobody this time. He will need nobody ever again. My death will liberate him. With my death, I will take away his fear, pain, everything... and he will be stronger than ever.'

Akito's ally spoke up again. "Ma'am, that boy killed your parents by mixing apricot seeds in their whisky, cyanide poisoning them. If he had bought the poison, it could be traced back by tracing it from the drink. But, since the investigators couldn't track it, it meant he used natural poison." "Are you scaring me?" Akito asked, angrily.

"No ma'am, I'm only warning. That boy is damn intelligent. A murderer without any fear, ruthless and a brain is like letting loose a venomous snake in the house. It could bite you anytime, anywhere. He even has allies like Inspector Takei. Inspector purposely let him go. Inspector Takei has great sympathy for him."

"Sympathy for Kyo?! A murderer?! How come?!" Akito shouted. "Officer Takei somehow found out everything related to that boy. About how his parents were murdered by your parents, how you confined him, and everything. We don't know how many more are helping him. He has a handsome face, money and a tragic past. He can easily manipulate anyone with his face, money or his body, just like Takei. Please beware."

Akito threw the phone in anger, smashing it in the process. However, she quickly regained her senses. Agitation wouldn't help her now. She had to be calm.

The time she tortured him, and Tohru rushed to her brain. She remembered how he shouted at her for the first time in his life, threatening to kill her if Tohru got hurt. Tohru's words before she died echoed continuously in her mind, like a broken tape recorder.
