Akira Satou's POV
I was confined inside the limousine on our way to Kaito's villa in Osaka with me were my brother-in-law's best buddies. I still don't know what to feel about this sudden trip when two months ago I left him without notice.
I instinctively placed my hand to my slightly bumped belly. I'm positively sure that he would notice my belly once he laid eyes on me again not that I could blame him I'm already entering my second trimester of my pregnancy of course it will be visible to him by now since he often see me ***** before almost every day when he's in the villa.
Once I see him again and he asked about my pregnancy do I need to tell him the truth? But then again he might just assume that this baby belongs to the man I will marry tomorrow. I slowly stared at the vintage engagement ring in my left hand. Asahi told me that this ring belonged to his late great-grandmother.
"If I were you, Miss" The man sat beside me in the back of the limousine broke the painful silence inside the limousine. Haru briefly introduced him to me awhile ago as Kyo Hayashi. "I will tell the driver to stop this car and buy in one of these designer shops a pretty mourning dress. Because once we reach that man he is good as dead when that beast wearing suit gets his hands on him."
I gasped at his words while other man with a pair of grey eyes shot a deadly warning to the man in question. "Don't say such words to the woman, my friend."
"Why not? It's the truth." Kyo Hayashi shrugged, his eyes held devious glint in their depth. "I just want to prepare her for the worst case scenario."
The man with a pair of beautiful grey eyes looked at me apologetically. My brother-in-law introduced him as Toshiro Mizui, Prince of Shikoku "Please, don't mind him like I always do. You will get use to his manner eventually, Miss."
"I'm completely serious with my suggestion, little one."
Kyo stated with an evil smile playing in his lips. "You don't know your brother-in-law like I do. He's really a beast when he was pissed off. The Prince of Osaka sealed his fate when he accidentally abducted his wife."
"Prince of Osaka?" That got my attention. I instantly looked at the man sitting beside me. "Who are you talking about?"
He looked straight into my eyes and said casually. "The man who kidnapped your twin sister, Prince Kaito Ishikawa of Osaka."
My eyes widened about the information. I didn't know that he was a prince during the time of our affair. I thought that he was just a rich businessman. I never realized that he has a title in his name. Now I got why he was so angry when I left him. Because no one walked away from him probably women worshipped him to the ground.
"I wonder who did you managed to get that kind of information, Kyo." I asked conversationally, trying to hide my shocked from the bomb he just dropped to me.
"Ah, that's because I have sources, princess." He had the nerve to wink at me playfully. I shook my head in resignation. This man was a certified charmer. "It seems that I am destined to search for their missing wife every now and then. If you lost someone you can always contact me, Miss Satou."
"That's a pity." For the first time Haru joined the conversation. "Because it seems that you haven't found your brain yet, Kyo."
He scowled to his friend darkly. "That's low, Haru."
"Oh, really?" My brother-in-law countered. He fished out something in his suit pocket. "What is Yuuki's number? Do you know, Your Excellency?"
"Why do you want my wife's number?" He asked Haru with a frowned on his handsome face as he stared at him straightly.
Aki's husband smirked in his direction. "I will tell her that you are flirting with my sister-in-law. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Yes, do that." Kyo said cheerfully as his dark eyes gleamed in the sunlight. "Then, I will tell Aki about your antics when you are still a bachelor. Remember about the time"
Haru's eyes went dark and wintry. "Are you threatening me, Hayashi?"
The devil merely shrugged and smile cynically in his friend's direction. "If that's what you want to think, Yanazaki. Just remember that we're about to see Aki so go ahead and decide."
"Are you telling me that you are scared of your own wife, Kyo?" Toshiro Mizui asked, his smoky eyes danced with laughter. "I didn't know that I will see this day."
"Let just say that Yuuki was not that friendly when she has a fake smile on her beautiful face while silently interrogating you."
"Poor you," Haru said without a hint of sincerity in his voice.
The heated argument of my companions stopped abruptly when we finally arrived in front of the villa where I spent my two months in my stay here in Osaka.
"We're here!" said brightly as the limousine finally stopped at the beautiful villa. But the car's atmosphere turned grim.
We slowly slid out of the car and knocked at the double door in the foyer of the mansion. The maid greeted us with a warm smile and accommodated us inside.
Everything inside hasn't changed a bit since the last time I've been here.
"Aki!" My brother-in-law practically shouted in the receiving room of the villa I called as my home during my hiding to my father. "Aki, darling. Where are you? Aki! Oh, my God. If something happened to her don't know what I will do."
"Decorum, Haru." Toshiro Mizui reminded their friend hopefully, as he pacing the living room looking for my twin. "Decorum."
Kyo Hayashi shot the duke a dry looked. "It's no use to him, Toshiro. He doesn't know the meaning of 'decorum' the only way he knew about the word is how to spell it."
Toshiro Mizui only managed to shook his head. Then finally, Kaito Ishikawa came out of the kitchen to greet us. But before he even had a chance to mutter a single word Haru attacked him with a straight punch that sent him to the floor.
"Goodness!" I gasped as I cover my mouth with my hands from shocked. I saw Kaito's lip was cut from the assault. Blood started to drip in the side of his mouth.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Kyo Hayashi said theatrically to the Prince of Shikoku. "He's going to jail now. He punched the Prince. What shall we do?"
If wasn't that stunned with the events here I would be laughed at his sarcastic comments. But I am so shock to move in my place.
"If you are that concern about him when don't you stop him from slugging that man, my friend?" The Prince of Shikoku asked him in a serious tone.
"Sorry, can't do that." The devil answered arrogantly as he brushed off the invisible fleck in his expensive suit.
"I don't want to ruin my suit."
Toshiro was about to retort when our attention was back to my brother-in-law that is preparing to attack again. "Where is my wife, damn you?" He spat.
"Haru!" My twin sister went out of the kitchen and her eyes widened at the sight of Kaito's bleeding lips. "Oh, goodness! What did you do?" She looked at Kaito concernedly. "Are you all right, Your Excellency? There's blood in your mouth."
"I'm fine." Kaito answered as he wiped the blood in his lips. I want to come to him but my feet were rooted in my place.
"How can you be concern about it when he kidnapped you, Aki?" Her husband asked irritably. Haru pale blue eyes filled with anger towards Kaito. "I'm not done with him yet."
"So vengeful, Haru.” Kyo Hayashi commented from the sidelines but no one paid attention to his snide remarked.
"I need to apologize for the mistake I made." Kaito said to Akira's husband looking straight to his angry face. "I didn't mean to kidnapped your wife I thought tracked the right woman not her twin." He briefly shot a looked in my direction that made my breath caught.
The accusation in his eyes was there. He was just waiting to finish the mess he created with my twin sister and her husband before we have our inevitable conversation.
Now that I am here do I have the strength to talk to him? Maybe I should have stayed in Tokyo I should not have come here. Maybe I'm not ready to face him after all.
"Do you think I will easily forgive you after you took my wife?" Haru asked him furiously. "Do you know the hell I've been through searching for her?"
Kaito sighed as he looked straight at my brother-in-law's face. "I'm truly sorry for the error."
Haru was about to answered back when my twin sister came to him and calmed his raging emotions.
"That's enough, darling. You already threw a punch to his face. He was truly sorry for the slip he was a perfect gentleman while we wait for you. In fact, I'm enjoying a cup of coffee while waiting for you, my love."
The sarcastic devil beside me barked a laugh. "See, Yanazaki. I told you that she's having coffee with him."
Aki's husband threw a warning glare at him and continued to look at Kaito with murderous eyes. "Be grateful that you didn't hurt my wife in any way or I will kill you with my bare hands."
"That's enough, Haru." My twin sister reprimanded her husband sternly. She flashed a smile in my direction briefly. "Let's get moving. I'm sure my twin and Mr. Ishikawa needs to have a private conversation."
"We'll wait you outside." The Prince of Shikoku said pulling the reluctantly Kyo Hayashi with him outside in the garden of Kaito's villa.
"Haru?" Aki inquired again when her husband remained eye-to-eye with her kidnapper. "What's wrong?"
He suddenly enveloped my twin sister in a tight hugged. "I miss you, darling. I think I just lost ten years of my life while looking for you. I can't bear to lose you. My life would be miserable without you."
My twin sister's eyes lit with love for her husband. I looked away seeing their affection to each other. I don't think I like this feeling inside me right this moment. The emotion of slightly envy I guess. I don't want it.
"Oh, I will never leave you again, Haru." Aki smiled to her husband brightly as she tiptoed to kiss him on the lips briefly. "I miss you too." She looked in my direction as I watched them silently. "I know you have an overdue talk with him. So we will leave you to have that conversation. My husband and I along with his friends will have a lunch in the city for now. We will wait how long it takes. But we need to fly back in Hokkaido as soon as possible. It's your wedding day tomorrow."
From the corner of my eyes I saw my ex-lover's face darkened about the news. Great, I thought with lack of enthusiasm. Leave it to my twin to spilled it out that I'm about to wed tomorrow. But he learned about it eventually, so what's the problem?
"Is that all right, sis?"
I forced myself to look at my twin and smiled. "Yes, that will be fine."
"Great!" Aki answered enthusiastically. She led her husband hand in hand outside where their friend patiently waiting for them.
Once I left alone with Kaito I slowly looked straight to his golden eyes. "Well?"
"Well?" He repeated coldly wiping his split lip. He slightly winced when he touch it with his fingers. "Is that all you can say 'well after all the trouble you caused?"
I shrugged as if that's not concern me. I need to play the heartless woman here so we can move on with our separate lives. "I didn't actually think that you will look for me, Kaito. I thought we made it clear that our affair will run its course and will move on with our lives."
He surprised me when he moved to my side lighting fast. He clamped my arm tightly. "Last time I check before I left this damn house that day over two months ago. Our relationship isn't done yet, Akira."
"Well, it is now." I tried to removed his dead gripped but I can't. "You finally know my real identity. Everything is change now. I'm back with my family as my twin sister had said awhile ago, it's my wedding day tomorrow I need to fly back in Tokyo for my wedding. You should move on with your life too Kaito. Our time had already passed. It was fun. I did enjoy it."
"It seems that you don't know me that well, sweetheart." He smiled callously in my direction, as his strong arms sneaked to my waist seductively and drew me towards him. I was aware that my heart pounded so loudly in my chest. "You are mine. No one can take what's mine."
My eyes widened when our faces were only inch apart I could already smell his signature aftershave scent.
"W-what are you trying to say...?"
His eyes held a dangerous gleamed in their depth. "As far as I am concern there will be no wedding tomorrow. You will stay here where you belonged. Here in my house, in my bed and especially in my arms. Welcome home, Akira."
I Gasped at his words but before I could utter a single word to respond him. He already crushed his mouth to mine in a torrid kiss that made me forget everything else except being in his arms again.
