♔ A Marriage Agreement ♔

(3) You, Whom I Loved

"No this can't be true... He shouldn't be.."

Before I could complete my sentence the door opened and I heard a man's voice.

"Have you been waiting for long? Nozumi Matsuzaki.." That clock on the wall rang.*Tang* Tang* *Tang* It was exactly 03.00.

"..Akashi Seijuro" I mumbled and completed my sentence.

I jumped back from the table and turned my back to see a man with red hair and ruby eyes, he was tall than I was - almost 5.10 feet. He was wearing a steel grey formal suit, the jacket had buttons opened and a white shirt underneath with his collar button open. His suit fitted his sleek, toned body perfectly and traced it flawlessly.

"Or rather my future wife.." He smirked looking at me, beside him there was Umeno Otohiko who opened the door for him.

"A-Aka..shii.." I was amazed to see him again after so many years, the only person I ever loved was standing right in front of me. Those hidden feelings which were suppressed inside of my heart for these many years were overflowing out of me, in the form of all mixed emotions. 

"Umeno-San... Could you leave the two of us alone?"

"Sure, Young Master.." The secretary left the room and closed the door, Akashi began to step and walk forward towards me.

"It's been so many years, Nozumi.." He smiled calmly but mysteriously, it was really difficult for me to read him. He has always been like this. I frowned at him,

"What's the meaning of this!? Akashi!?"

"Huh? What do you mean!? Were you not the one who loved me back then? I thought you will be happy to see me again, that too as your future husband.."

He said walking forward and came closer and closer to me. My heart began to pound, I could feel my face heat up. His face only came closer and closer to me, I step back but Crap! the table... That was the deadline for me. Akashi placed both his hands on the table across me and caged me in. I leaned back and he leaned in forward,

"But I don't love you now!" I lied, he was the only person I loved these many years hopelessly.

"I'm asking you something! Why did you place the condition of marrying me!? Didn't you have other elegant girls for you!?"

"Oh! About that right... I just want some one as my slave, you know a personal one.." He caressed and played with a strand of my hair.

"WHAT!? SLAVE!?"

"Yes, you would be ideal for me as a personal Slave.."

"You're pathetic.." he stepped back and stood beside me leaning to the desk. I turned myself to face him.

"Oh, really? Isn't getting married means becoming a slave for someone?" I widened my eyes as he continued,

"You anyway had to do all the chores and other stuff, if you had got married to someone. Marrying me can make you the happiest person you know, first of all, your father's debt will be paid off and secondly, you'll live a ravishing life with me as my personal slave.."

"I will never agree to this!"

"Hmm... I wonder how much of a debt your father has to pay. Will that pathologist job of yours help him to pay it off? And then your little brother Nobuhito his study expenses.." He paused for a millisecond and leaned in to whisper in my ears,

"Can these delicate shoulders of yours take a load for all of these?" His hands touched my arms and swayed up till my shoulders.

'I have no other option... My family is facing a problem, for now, I should agree to his terms. When I pay him back, I'll be free again.. I'm sure he doesn't love me, so why he wants to marry me? This guy is a sadist as always..' I thought to myself.
