Limerance

Chapter 31

The tension in the room intensifies as both subaru and takumi tense up. Both silent for their own reasons. While takumi was afraid of his mother , subaru kept quiet because he trusted you.

As Mrs sakurai advanced towards you with venom in her eyes, you couldn't help but smirk at her futile attempt to intimidate you. "Nice try," you quipped, dodging her slap effortlessly.

Only if she wasn't older. I would have slapped her.

"You might be pretty," you mocked, "but you have a rotten heart."

"Who are you.?Who do you think you are? You are just a bitch" She said in disdain. Her beautiful face couldn't be more ugly.

"You see," you continued, a sly smile playing on your lips, "I stumbled upon something interesting recently-a slush fund, hidden away in the shadows. Away from prying eyes. Does your husband know that.? Mrs sakurai.? "

At that subaru smiled uncharacteristically.

She gritted her teeth in anger and disbelief. How could a puny girl like you find out about the slush fund she had been saving for over a decade. She repeated her question " Who are you.? "

"Do you know LN Corps?" you inquire casually, watching as recognition flickers in her eyes. "Yes, that big multinational company that operates both within the bounds of the law and outside of it," you continue, your voice steady and confident. "The one that hides under the facade of being heroes."

A sense of unease settles over Takumi's mother as she realizes the implications of your words. You watch as her composure falters, a hint of fear creeping into her expression. All her plans would fail if somehow the ln's got wind of it.

Price of their silence was high something that was not simple pocket cash she could ask her husband for.

"I am the fourth granddaughter of the LN family," you declare. "My full name is Y/N L/N."

It seemed like the ground beneath her feet had shifted. She fell down to her knees not because of the girl in front of her but because of the family the girl belonged to. The very family that could destroy her and ignite her .

Takumi stood stunned at the revelation. He wished his ear were not functioning. He wished he did not hear what you said because that would mean you are HIS sister.

Subaru's grin had faded but if someone could see his soul right now they would see a snake doing tango . He was happy to see the woman who caused so much pain to takumi on her knees before him. Oh how he wanted to kick her but he relented.

Her voice tinged with a mixture of fear and defiance. Mrs sakurai asked"what do you want?"

"One thing," you declare, your voice firm and resolute. "Stop hurting Takumi."

Without saying a word further and nodded. She stood up and called the gaurds to escort you out safely.

Just before leaving she leans towards you, her voice barely above a whisper, her words send a chill down your spine. "You are playing right into his palm," she murmurs, her tone laced with a warning that cuts through the air like a dagger.

His.? Who is she refering to.?

She quickly climbed the stairs not glancing back as left. With a heavy sigh, you exchange a glance with Subaru and Takumi, silently acknowledging the end of this confrontation.

As you are led away from the mansion, the weight of her words lingers in your mind.

The car pulls away from takumi's mansion an heavy silence settles over three of you.
