Unforgotten (continueing)

Chapter 34

"Eat your food, its getting cold" Carl said as i continued to hear his fork hit the plate.

"I'm not hungry" i answered.

i couldn't imagine what Carl just did in front of Jeremy. and what about him. would he be able to sell the double amounts for today?. i couldn't think, just stay here and continue to be locked up in this apartment.

"i got you something." Carl said again taking out a small box.

"i don't want it." i responded still looking at the food in front of me.

Carl stood up grabbing me by the arm and slipping a ring on my finger.

"Is this one of your game devises that you need to keep track of me? if you think I'm going to wear this then your wrong"

"its not. i got it for you today during break."Carl answered.

i sighed and stood up.

what a jerk i fell for. making me drive in the same car as his fiancee, dragging me out of school,threatening my friend, now forcing me to wear a ring.

i couldn't take it anymore. why did i fall in love with this jerk.

faked his own death. this kind of person is ridiculous.

i grabbed the balcony door handle trying to slide it open.

he locked it.

i slid to the floor cupping my head around my knees.

===========================================================================

"Ethan, I've been meaning to ask you. this might be imposing your private life but i don't want to keep questioning it when i have other stiff i need to know"

Ethan finally sat down staring at Keith

"What is it you want to talk about." he replied read to just dive into sleep.

"Your not really helping Yuka find revenge, and this is just a conclusion based on the information i picked up but I'm not to sure. you've already found some kind of clue even if back when the incident happened no one could find a thing."

Ethan's gaze became sharp at that moment as he let out a sigh.

"you've been searching through my room even if i was nice enough to give you a place to stay and i didn't kill you back then when i found out you were part of the group that tour my school down.

Keith continues to stare at Ethan seriously a bit flustered as he gripped onto his pants.

"Ill tell you since your prune to find out, but when i do i don't want your mouth to talk and i don't want you getting in the way, you need to swear on it."

Keith nodded finally letting out a sigh.

"My intentions is to let her help me investigate the murder. after the case was put away i was angry to find that my future fiancees mother was killed leading her to serious events.  as a result i waited till i was old enough and had access to what information was gathered and started looking for information on my own. i also want my revenge, and Yuka is a burden to it."

Keith stood up from the floor and sat next to Ethan.

"What about the case where working on, haven't you found what you needed to close the case, cold it be that your in tensions is to stall Yuka from her investigation."

the room went silent for that moment as Ethan popped his can of soda open.

"i wouldn't say stalling. even if i cracked the case, i needed her to go indoors and capture every one of them. they where all involved with the murder in some way. i need her to get to the boss of this branch so we can continue tracking all of them to the last one. then i can have my revenge.

its not as easy as calling the cops if that's what your thinking because the boss has his easy ways of getting out of these situations."

"but why is Yuka being apart of the case a burden?"

Ethan couldn't help but sigh again

"Yuka has to many emotional burdens that can lay me back. for example, she couldn't even kill you which i would of done easily. and its no good if she gets hurt during the events that might occur."

Keith was a bit surprised at the fact that Ethan was really devoting his life to revenge and the fact that he was straight to the point scared him.

"Why doesn't Yuka respect the fact that your her fiance?"

Keith could tell Ethan was a bit flushed at the thought of it and finally took his last sigh that was stronger than the others.

"its a gamble her father is playing, i don't know all the details but, Its my job to woo her in. I've loved her since i was just a child and i look forward to the day we get married."

"What do you mean by gamble?"

the smirk on Ethan's face grew.

"Between me and you, Its  a marriage game that her father set up for entertainment. she hasn't met every candidate yet but where meeting them 1 by 2. The point for the game is to create a haram between 12 and one girl that is going through mental emotions."

"What about this guy Carl that she so happened to like?"

Ethan grew a bit mad about hearing his name.

"He can never be eligible for candidate, he's only an important employee to the Bensmers inc. The fact is that he has his own company to run and since he is only a guard to the family. him being married to Yuka is danger to its end. Her father doesn't believe that he can be able to protect her."

"So why do you always need information from Yuka if you have what you need."

"well, heh, its a way i get to talk to her and see her everyday. Anyway, i need information on what's inside, i need to access information i already don't have. so everything that's going on is a game being played and the 2 main players are enjoying because they each have cards up there sleeve. so we can never just find out what happened, there's always an obstacle that blocks us out.

Its a war."
