Chapter 14- All That For Who?

''She didn't have the choice,

The knife was calling for her. It was begging

for BLOOD.''

In the car, Y/n tried to forget about the marks on Mokuba's stomach, at least just until they got to the estate where she could discuss them with him calmly. Only, the small image had gotten stuck in her head and she found herself unable to focus on the road, way too worried.

''Mokuba?''

The black haired boy looked up from the book he had started to read.

''Yes?''

The CEO took a small second to think of her words, the silence making Mokuba look at her worriedly.

''What's up? What is it?''

She took a small breath.

''I saw your stomach when we were at the bookstore.''

That sentence, once processed by the black haired boy, makes the entire mood drop in the car. Mokuba's smile had disappeared, leaving behind a terrible, pained frown that made Y/n's heart ache.

''You don't have to talk about it if you don't want it. If you want to, I'll gladly listen. If you don't feel comfortable, I just want a name.''

Mokuba looked at the woman sitting beside him.

''It's a boy a couple of months older than me, he's in the same class as the girl I like and it turns out he likes her too. He's called Brayden, but everyone knows him as Denny.''

Y/n's face darkened. She stayed silent however, not wanting to force Mokuba to talk about something he probably rather discuss with his brother.

Mokuba bit his lip, tears getting to his eyes, he took a small breath before adding.

''He told me I wasn't enough. That she would never even look in my direction. That she was better with him than with me. Cause I'm just a loser, a nerd.''

He took a small break to take in a breath, now officially crying, tears flowing down his cheeks.

''He punched me many times while wearing a couple of metallic rings that scratched me so many times, it bled for a while. I had to change my t-shirt and throw away the one that had been dirtied with my blood.''

He sniffled before continuing, Y/n not saying anything, simply nodding when he looked at her to confirm she was listening still. Unknown to him, she was already plotting a murder scene in her mind. The person who had dared insult him was going to pay. And not only Brayden, his entire family tree with it.

''I took every hit, thinking about that very girl. I don't know if I will be able to back down. But I'm afraid the boy will come back for me again if he sees me still interested in the girl he also likes.''

He sniffled some more.

''It really hurts and I don't want it to happen again. I'm scared of him. But I don't want to abandon the feelings I have for this incredible girl.''

Y/n nodded her head, waiting a few seconds to make sure he was done before she simply stated.

''Let's go deal with the matter then.''

Mokuba gulped loudly, his crying slowly coming to a stop as he looked at Y/n in shock.

''N-now?''

The woman simply nodded, changing direction on the road, the car behind them, containing Fugata and Miranda following after them, understanding there was a slight change of plan. She drove to the school, parked with slight anger in front of the school, making the young kids playing outside look at them. She got down, head held high, anger burning in her e//c eyes.
