Limerance

Chapter 56

In an abandoned lot in Georgia, a young man read the message on his phone. His eyes narrowed, knowing that hostile company was on its way, and hospitality had never been his suit.

His gaze shifted to the girl tied to a pole. Sayuri's eyes were throwing daggers at him. Despite being restrained for more than a week, she hadn't lost her spirit.

"Enjoying your stay?" Kai taunted, a smirk playing on his lips.

Sayuri glared at him, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, just loving the five-star accommodations, When's the room service, assuming you are the house keeping?"

His smirk faltered. "Keep talking, and I'll make sure you regret every word."

She laughed, a harsh, mocking sound. "What are you a goldfish.? You asked me the question. Also, I've faced worse than you. This is a vacation."

Annoyance flickered in his eyes. He stepped closer, gripping her chin tightly. "You're lucky I haven't decided to shut you up for good."

"Do it," she challenged, her voice fearless. "I dare you. Mr I-am-so-dangerous"

With a growl, he stuffed a gag into her mouth, silencing her. As he stepped back, he glanced at his phone again, the message reminding him of the imminent threat. The hostile company was coming, and he had to be ready.

Sayuri rattled her chains in frustration as kai's hearty laugh filled the empty area. He laughed at her futile attempt. The younger girl sent a harsh glare at the male with red hair. Those locks swept back in place making him seem every bit of a gentleman he wasn't.

" Keep glaring at me. The next thing I do is remove those pretty eyes of yours. " Kai darkly chuckled as his knife neared sayuri's eyes.

She made a muffled sound, her eyes narrowing . His voice was raspy yet clear. "Oh, did I strike a nerve? Good. You're prettier when you're angry."

Kai turned away, pocketing his phone. He began setting up traps around the lot, ensuring that anyone trying to rescue Sayuri would have a hard time. As he worked, he spoke without looking at her.

"Expecting company soon. Your friends think they can save you," he said, as he installed another painful looking trap. "They have no idea what they're walking into."

Sayuri's muffled protests continued, but Kai ignored them, his mind focused on the task at hand.

He glanced back at her once more. "Don't worry, sweetheart. By the time they get here, you'll have a front-row seat to their demise. And if they somehow manage to get past me, well... let's just say they won't like what they find."

1st july, Friday

Your eyes felt heavy as you opened them. Yesterday, you hadn't felt the presence of the mystery person at night. But now, your body feels unnaturally weighted.

You fully opened your eyes to see Takumi huddled against your chest, while Hikaru snuggled behind you.

"What the hell?" you exclaimed, abruptly jerking both of them off your body in disgust.

"Y-Y/N," Takumi called out, his voice filling with happiness. "I waited for you to wake up, but I fell asleep. You... were looking peaceful sleeping."

"Cute. She was looking cute. Dove always looks cute. My cutie,~" Hikaru giggled, hugging you from behind. Despite your best efforts, his hold was strong.

"Don't brush it off. Why did you both sneak into my room?" You glared at Hikaru, knowing this wasn't Takumi's idea to invade your sleep.

Hikaru smiled, bashful at being caught. "Hehe, I am caught."
