Episode 4 ( The Traitor )

Orihime stood still, unable to process what was happening.

“ Klang, Klang! ”, Alex knocked on the empty champagne glass with his fork.

“ Princess, wouldn’t it be inappropriate if you keep standing there while we all are sitting here waiting for you. ”, Alex questioned her with an " Obey me and sit down! " expression.

After a moment she was back to her senses. She slammed her hand on the table and started shouting out everything in her mind, “ Uncle Chen, I never thought you would betray dad. He helps you and supports you. He was always there at your back. How could you do this to me? You were behind my kidnapping incident too right? Was it all your Plan? If I get out of he-”

“ Enough! Take a seat please! ”, Alex interrupted with a cold voice and glared at her with those pair of merciless eyes.

Ulquiorra escorts her to the end of the table facing Alex who is sitting at the head of the table with the two guys by his side. Ulquiorra was about to leave the room when...

“ Be here, in case she does anything senseless again. ”, Alex commanded, Ulquiorra bowed to take the order.

The waiter came to fill the champagne in their glasses. He came to fill her glass as well.

“ I believed you needed some as well. ”, Alex said to her who kept staring at the old man.

“ Let me introduce them to you. ”, he turned to look at the handsome young guy at his left.

“ The gentleman at my left is Mr. Kim. The owner of Kim Enterprise. You sure have heard of it. ”

As soon as Alex finishes the sentence, Mr. Kim turns to look at her with a harassing eyes. She feels insecure, knowing Ulquiorra was by her side, she feels somewhat relieved but chose to avoid Mr. Kim's gaze and Alex continues.

“ And here is Mr. Chen, I guess you guys already know each other very well. But still I will introduce him formally. Mr. Chen, the owner of Chen Organisation and also my partner and an old friend. ”, Alex paused to have a sip of the champagne and observe her reaction.

Her eyes lit up in anger after learning the truth about her beloved uncle who is the most loyal friend and partner of her dad have been betraying them from very long. Unable to control herself she got up and slammed the table.

“ You are gonna pay for this. My dad is not gonna leave you. You, Snake. You, son of a ----”,

“ Do you really think that I would so careless to get by your dad? Poor girl, I told your dad that I sent you to the villa, the one I bought as your 20th birthday gift. I told him that the place has no signal but you’re enjoying yourself there. Knowing you were in my protection he didn't doubt anything. Haha so stupid, right? ”, he laughed bitterly.

“ Nooo.....​, this is not true. ”, she said in a low shaking voice, held her both temple in her hands, trembled from fear.

“ Enough talk. Princess, please sit down. Let’s have dinner now. ”, Alex commanded her while he was enjoying, that look ofdesperation and helplessness of her.
