An Unexpected Bond

Chapter 8

Akashi POV

Things finally started to get back on track. Koki and I got married the day after we ran into Kuroko at the hospital. Father gave us his blessing, but he knew I would get married with or without it. Koki was almost 7 months pregnant and looked beautiful. The motherhood glow suited him well.

There was a nagging feeling in the back of my head, telling me it should be Kuroko I'm praising. Kuroko cheated on me, I have no reason to feel bad about everything. There was a knock on the door, "Master Akashi, your lawyer is downstairs waiting for you."

I frown but I open the door. "Thank you, do you know what he wants to discuss?"

"I'm sorry, he did not tell me."

"Alright thank you, go prepare some tea for us and bring it to the office."

The maid bowed and left as I head down the stairs. Nijimura Shuzo stood in front of the door, staring at me. "Akashi, pleasure as always."

"Drop the formalities, what are you doing here?"

"Kuroko Tetsuya would like you to sign away your rights to his baby. Midorima set him up with his lawyer."

"Again with the baby nonsense? He may be pregnant but that thing isn't mine. Let me sign these papers and get this over with."

I lead Nijimura to my office where there was fresh green tea waiting. I sit down in my chair and take a sip. He pulls out the papers and slides them over. "Do you want to do a parental test to see if it really is your child?"

"No need, the baby is not mine and these conditions don't concern me."
I don't bother to read over the papers as I sign and give them back. "I want nothing to do with Kuroko Tetsuya."

Nijimura has been a good friend of mine for years, I can tell he has something he wants to say, "Wel, l say it damn it. You know you can speak your mind."

"I don't know what's gotten into you, but Kuroko isn't the type to lie or come up with an elaborate scheme. You should have gotten the test. I'm confident that this baby is yours, and you won't be able to do anything now. Seijuro, I'm sure you'll regret this."

My eyes narrow, "Shuzo, you're a dear friend of mine. I usually listen to what you say, but this baby isn't mine. End of story. Got it?"

His eyes narrow back but he gathers the papers up and leaves. I sit down in the chair rubbing my temple. I'm absolute. He has no idea what he's saying. I might as well go visit Father and let him know what has happened. At least I can handle these types of matters without him being so strict and controlling. I call for the maid to clean up the tea and head further back into the mansion. I take a deep breath and knock on his office door.

"Come in."

I open the door and walk in as he glances up from his papers, "Ah Son, take a seat. What can I do for you?"

I sit down in the seat in front of him going straight to the point, "Father I want to know if you heard anything about Kuroko Tetsuya. He is claiming to be pregnant with my child."

He looks up from his papers and narrows his eyes at me, "I might have heard something about that. Why do you ask?"

Strange. He's not being direct like usual, "Nijimura just left a few minutes ago. Apparently, Shintaro gave Kuroko his lawyer asking me to sign away my rights as the father. Of course, it's not my child so I signed the papers right away."

A vein appeared on my fathers' temple as he slammed his hands against the desk, standing up in the process, "Are you fucking with me Seijuro?! I have taught you better than that! Tell me you at least asked for a test before signing the damn papers!"
