~Enji's POV~

I arrived on the scene of a small fire I'd been called to and was more than a little surprised to see my father there. It looked like he was apologizing to some other man who appeared to be in his mid-thirties. Father spotted me and waved me over. The fire had been small and was already out, it had hardly caused any damages, I suspected I'd only been called to the scene because of my father.

"What?" I growled.

Father glared at me but said nothing about my rude behavior, "your sister assaulted this man and is now missing...thankfully he's not pressing charge-."

"She's missing?!" My heart fell before the rest of his words connected, "if she assaulted him, I'm more concerned about why he's not pressing charges." I shot the middle-aged man with the dark slicked back hair a scowl.

He didn't seem phased in the slightest by my scowl and offered me a cocky smirk that really got under my skin, "no harm done, it was a simple misunderstanding."

"Right." I didn't believe the guy for a second. "What did you do to her?" I demanded, "she wouldn't attack anyone without a proper reason."

Father looked momentarily worried which gave me pause. If my father was wary of this man, what the hell kind of business was he in?! "Enji, enough. You know Enya she's got a flare for drama, like your mother." That was about as far from the truth as it could get. Enya was nothing like our mother.

"Listen, tough guy, we're going to be brothers soon, we should try to get along. You're here to fetch me my little bride to be." The eerie man pat me on the shoulder dismissively. Just who the hell was this guy?!

My father looked concerned for a moment but recovered with a smile, "I apologize for my children and their deplorable behavior, Lorenzo." His gaze flicked to me, "go find your sister and bring her home immediately."

"No apologies necessary, its been quite a lively evening, can't say I've had such an exciting evening in a while." Lorenzo chuckled before his cold ice blue eyes shot in my direction, "I suggest you get to work, boy, you'd better find her soon." There was a threat behind his words.

"Or else what?" I challenged him.

"Or else I'll send out someone who will." He straightened out his singed shirt.

I shot them both a dark look and walked away. My phone in my pocket started to vibrate. I waited until I was out of earshot and retrieved it. It was Rei. What on earth did she want? I didn't have time. Sighing, I answered the phone knowing Enya would be upset if I was ignoring Rei's calls.

"What is it, I'm busy-?" I began but Rei cut me off.

"It's Enya. Something's wrong. She showed up a little bit ago with no shoes, running from who knows where trailing blood all over the pla-." Rei blurted before I cut her off.

"Is she alright?!" I panicked.

"I really don't know. She stopped responding to me. Enji, something's really wrong, please come home. I don't know what to do." Rei begged me.

"I'm on my way, don't let her go anywhere and don't answer the door for anyone." I growled before taking off at a run.

My driver didn't ask any questions and managed to get me home in record time with only a few minor traffic violations that I was willing to overlook for Enya's sake. I ran up the front steps and hurled the door open nearly giving our elderly maid a heart attack in the process.
