Arrangement without return (Reader x Black hat)

54. All on purpose?!

My eye wandered over the massive pile of papers filled with useless demands. Black hot looks proud at his work looking at me in victory as stars shined around his face, "So what do you think?"

"Me?" I asked confused.

He raised a brow as I asked the most stupid question. I shrugged looking at the first page, "Well....do you want an honest reply...or a lie?" Black hot frowned as an answer assuming he wants the truth.

"This whole pile right here...is a lot of bull...every single one of them."

Ouch! That really hit him hard. Still, he couldn't resist to pose while looking offended, "How could you say that to me? It is my life's work."

"Wow two hours and your life's work is complete. You should retire now" That I ripped the paper in two made him get all dramatic, as I was tearing his heart out. But he wanted the truth, and no one said it is going to be pleasant. Seeing him this devastated I added more to the humiliation, "My husband is no pushover. This ridiculous garbage you call a life's work isn't even worth to be posted on Wattpad. If you want him to notice you get a contract and become his minion. A partnership will never happen not even if he is in a good mood."

Flug and Dem remained silent, watching me tearing Black hot apart with painful facts. For them understandable for the hot bod a mystery. He went down on his knees holding my arms tight and begged me to find a solution to this. My face remained unfazed. My voice was as lifeless as possible, "Give it up. You're not even on the same league as him."

"You're right. That is why I am not able to reach him..."

"Now you're getting it" I said a little relieved to leave this place soon.

"...I will show him my worth, getting stronger and stronger for the both of us!" I didn't have to ask how he wants to do it; his poses answered that question for me. Yeah, pumping up is not the way, I thought to myself. Still, he was determined to get it right. His hand reached for mine kissing it tenderly, "Until we meet again...don't wait for me."

"I am not going to."

"That's my girl. Farewell my love!"

CRASH!

Black hot jumped out of the window starting his new work out program right away. We all sweat dropped at the sight. Although I couldn't resist to yell at him, "You could have used the door!!!!" Looking over my shoulder I added, "Or at least leave the keys!!!"

I was saved none then less, but Flug and Dem were trapped in that cage. His minions have all disappeared the minute black hot left, probably following in who knows where.

And this what was going to happen to us any minute.

Standing before the cage I tried to open it with tools I found in the storage room but to no success. Which didn't matter as the floor turned pitch black making us all fall into the unknown. In a blink of an eye, we found ourselves back in the office of the real black hat. He held his watch up smiling wide, "Right on time." Demencia saluted with hearts in her eyes while Flug shuddered from the smile. As for me, I slammed my hands down on the office staring back at Black hat, "What is the big idea?!"

"I don't know what you mean?"

"You could have gotten us out of there in seconds and still refused!"

"Didn't you have fun being kidnapped?" he grinned.

"You knew this was going to happen?!" looking back at Flug he backed off scared. Black hat had known that villains and heroes are after the weakest link of the team knowing that his wife was an easy target. At least that was his excuse. I leaned forward still angry, "And that muscular dude?!"

"What about him?" Black hat couldn't hold back his disgust remembering that version of him.

"He wants to partner up with you so why didn't you show up to set him straight?" I had a feeling that he also known what was going on at the gym like building and his next words proved me right.

"I enjoyed your lash out at this .... thing. And your compliments to your husband."

"YOU!" I growled.

He smiled amused, "Yes?"

"You really are a piece of work."

"Is that all you got? You had more effort with that imbecile of a doppelganger."

I crossed my arms, "Unlike you there was a point with that guy. Someone who is already as low as you cannot be pushed down any further...as a matter of fact...I feel sorry for you." The air thickened inside the office. Flug shrieked pressing himself into the nearest corner as Demencia stood there excited to see us have our first love quarrel. Black hat stood up from his chair and stood before, leaning forwards till our heads were inches apart. He was annoyed yet he tries to remain amused based from what I could hear from his voice, "...much better."

I grinned back, "...you wish."

A minute longer we just stared at each other angry. He broke the silence first, ordering Flug to arrange something to eat. Black hat walked around the table and pushed my back towards the door, "Why don't you get ready for our little dinner, and we shall test your bad side a little further." Pushing his arm away I walked out without assistance. Flug left soon after and Demencia was keen to get her hands on black hat, begging him to let her join the dinner for two.

Black hat hissed using his powers to catapult her out the window. Seeing the darkness covering the island he grinned wicked, "Who knew a little trip makes such a big difference."
