"Sir, one of our models' has been missing for two days now" Sora said.
"Not now, Sora. My mind doesn't want any new news right now, am I clear?" Kirito said as he looked into the file.
"Yes sir" Sora said. But Kirito wasn't listening anymore.
'She will see inside me eventually. What if she doesn't like what she sees? What will I do 'cause I can't unlove you now.
I should've seen this coming. I shouldn't have fallen so deep. Should I rise or should I fall? Because a part of me doesn't want to show you the monster in me, but there's a part of me who wants to just rip apart all the walls for you and pull you inside in my heart, a make you a monster too.
It's so complicated. I can't understand myself anymore. Can I pull away from you. Because no matter how much of a monster I am or no matter what all I've done up until now-- I still want to be the best person in your life. My monsters love you, Vivian. This is bad. I feel like I'm gonna get a panic attack again. No--'
"Sir, Vivian is calling" Sora said.
"What?! My phone!" Kirito said as he snatched the phone from Sora. Sora smiled and went back to her seat and continued working on her computer.
'Oh God, I'm not ready for this' He thought as he looked at the caller Id. He picked up "Speak."
"Yes, tiz Vivian!" Vivian said from the other side. He turned away from Sora.
'Oh yeah!'
"Vivan, did someone come home?" Kirito asked "Eh? No. Hiomi! I was about to go grocery shopping. What would you--"
"Don't go!" Kirito shouted and Sora almost fell down her chair from the sudden shock. She shouted.
"A woman?" Vivian murmured.
"Sora, are you okay?" He asked.
"Yes, yes. I was just shocked. Don't shout so suddenly, Mr Hiomi" She said.
"Oh that--"
"Hiomi" Vivian said.
"Yes?" He said.
"I'll wait for you to come back home soon. I wanna learn." She said. Kirito turned red and covered his face "I'll come back as soon as I can"
"Yes, and then teach me that dance further!"
"Nevermind" He said and hung up. He smiled and looked at his phone.
"Sora, get me those damn files!"
Vivian looked at the ceiling of the bathroom as she sat into the bathtub. 'He's with a woman' She thought.
Suddenly, she heard the doorbell ring and got up from the bathtub. She got into her bath robe and walked towards her. "Yes, who is it?" She said from inside.
"I'm Aoi. Open the door, dad sent you something"
She opened the door. Aoi came in with a box wrapped in a golden cover. "Looks expensive!"
"These are from Belgium. Dad got it for you and brother. He isn't back yet? It's about seven" Aoi asked.
"Yeah, he must be on his way" Vivian said. 'Or maybe with that woman...' "Okay, guess I disturbed you during your bath."
"Oh no! It's alright. Thank dad for this" She said with a smile. "Dad said you'll love this" He said and walked out of the door.
"Why don't you stay for dinner?"
"No, I need to go to the library once. My friends are waiting for me there. Your house was in the way that's why dad asked me to give it to you on my way."
"Thank you, Aoi. That's so nice of you"
"It's alright. Evening" He said with a smile. "Evening" She closed the door. She turned towards the box. She sat on the chair and unwrapped the golden layers.
"Oh chocolate!" She said "I've heard Belgian chocolates are awesome" She opened the box and picked a small chocolate ball.
"Kya! This is tasty!" She picked up another piece and then another "Right! I should save some for Kirito too!"
She got up from the chair and suddenly felt light headed. "What is happening?" She said as she pressed her head. She couldn't see clearly.
"It's like the feeling which I felt when I drunk the first time. But it's kind of different?"
Kirito sat in front of Kurosava.
"Won't you eat?" Kurosava asked.
"No thanks. Why did you call me?" Kirito asked.
"Oh! Haven't you heard yet?"
"Heard what?" Kirito said.
"Nothing. I'll let you find out yourself." He said as his hazel eyes glowed under the lights. "How are your injuries?"
"They are nothing big" He said as he touched his neck.
"I didn't mean those injuries" Kurosava said with a smirk. "Then?"
"Do you still get panic attacks when you look into the mirror?" Kurosava asked.
"No, I'm pretty comfortable with my reflection now."
"That's good" Kurosava smiled. The food just lay there as decoration as none of them were eating.
"Would you like to see my garden? I recently planted some orchids"
"No thanks"
Suddenly, Kirito heard a loud voice above him, from the ceiling-- as if something had fallen. He looked up at the ceiling. "What is it?" Kurosava asked.
"Is someone up there in the attic?" Kirito asked. Kurosava's eyes widened as he looked at Kirito. He moved his hand under the table and brought out a huge knife which was hidden under the table.
Kirito got up and turned his back towards Kurosava. "Is there someone else here besides us?"
"Why do you think that, Kirito?" He said with a smile as he moved towards Kirito with the knife in his hand.
"I think I heard something. Where's the way to the attic?"
"You know Kirito, for plants, blood is the best fertiliser" Kurosava said as he raised his hand.
Suddenly, Kirito's phone started ringing and he picked it up "Yes dad?"
Kurosava quickly hid the knife behind him and stared at Kirito.
"Did you like the gift I sent you?" Mr Hiomi asked as he stood in his balcony.
"Gift? I'm not home. I'm at Mr Kurosava's place" He said as he turned towards Kurosava and the later smiled at him as he clenched the knife behind him. Blood from his hands slowly fell on the floor.
"Oh, it's chocolates. I got them for you from Belgium" Mr Hiomi said.
"Oh dad! Are we kids? Besides, I don't like chocolates"
"Those chocolates aren't for kids. They are adult chocolates"
"... What?" Kirito said as his face turned pale.
"It will finally get me a grandson~" Now, Kirito's face turned purple "Aoi gave it to Vivian."
"What the fuck, you old geezer! Are you fucking kidding me?"
"I do want grandkids. That's the whole point!"
"Well fuck you! Can't you be fucking fuck patient?!"
"Don't worry, it'll make you last longer. I have tried it myself."
"You're sick!" Kirito shouted as he picked up his coat and ran out of the mansion. Kurosava heard the door close and looked at his hand which had a deep wound on it and the blood dripped everywhere.
"See Kirito, you ended up hurting me again. But I'll forgive this time too, since I'm a good uncle, am I not-- Maria" He said as he looked at the table.
Kirito drove back home at full speed "I hope she hasn't!" He parked the car and jumped out of it "I hope she hasn't!" Then, he ran out towards the lift "I hope she hasn't!"
He quickly unlocked the door "I hope she hasn't eaten it. Why the fuck are all the lights out?"
He slowly reached the switch but suddenly heard Vivian hum and give out a chuckle. He looked at the balcony, where in the dim light, Vivian stood at the balcony door in her white wedding negligee, singing to herself.
Finally, she looked at Kirito and fell at his feet.
"Ah~ Welcome back, hubby~"
"I'm so fucked," He said.
