Chapter 955 My Beautiful Monster Part 56

TOH

'I have definitely taken liberties with her, that I wouldn't have with any other female, not even with Sumire. When I realized what was happening, I tried to stop it. But I subconsciously keep letting this girl get closer and closer to me.' noVe/1b.1n

Is he simply lonely because Sumire isn't by his side? Initially, that was one of the reasons why he sought out another female. But, now that he is free to see her whenever he wants. How can he still continue doing this?

Is it because she doesn't have her memories? Even with no memories, the current Sumire is still the Sumire he fell in love with. Her core nature hasn't changed.

Akane bit her lip and nodded. "I don't want you to misunderstand."

Toh parted her legs and buries his face there causing her to shudder again. "Toh?" Akane said quietly.

"I'm not upset. Besides, I'm guilty about something too."

Akane blinks startled. "What do you mean?"

"Open the box in the dresser."

Akane follows his command and she picks up a navy blue coloured box. Seeing her staring at intently he chuckles. "Open it."

She slowly lifted the lid revealing a gorgeous emerald tear drop necklace.

"This is-"

"For you, you said you liked emeralds didnt you? So, I made you something."

"Y-you made this?" Akane said startled.

"Have you forgotten that I am a fashion designer?"

"W-well, I do know but I didn't know you could make jewlrey too." Akane stares at the item like it was a priceless artificat. "C-can I really have this?"

"Your name's engraved on the jewel, so unless you know another Akane. I don't think it will benefit anyone else."

"Put it on me?" Akane asked.

Toh smirked. "You always find a way for me to get my hands on you. I suppose that's expected."

Akane rolls her eyes. "I just don't want to break it."

Toh stands up and takes the necklace from the box and carefully clasped it around her neck. "This is why I apologized, I'm also overstepping my boundaries by doing this."

Akane turns her head and he leans down to capture her lips with his. He can't seem to stop this, even if he knows it's wrong. Both of them are overstepping the terms of this agreement. How is he going to face Sumire, when she finally returns? Will he really be able to discard Akane?

_______________________

After several intense rounds of lovemaking. There is a knock on his door, and a message from Mamoru on his phone saying 'open up, or I'll break the door down.' That guy, doesn't he have a key? Then again, with Mamoru's personality, it's possible that he lost the keys.

Toh slips on his bathrobe and turns to the girl on the bed. He briefly leans down to kiss her lips before closing the light and exiting the room.

Mamoru continues to press the doorbell. He really has no manners.

Toh opened the door and was preparing to lecture Mamoru. But, seeing his face devoid of it's usual brightness. He understands something is wrong. Mamoru nods and slips inside into the living room, and places his laptop on the desk.

"I found something, surveillance footage near Tsukuhara high school. In the middle of the night, a month or so after the accident. There's Ki meeting with Hiriji."

Toh frowns hearing Jian's name. "Show me."

Mamoru plays the footage from his laptop. It was blurry at first, but when Mamoru raised his hand. The static looking images turned clearer.

"It was you, wasn't it?" Sumire's voice was low.

The girl looked like a shell of her usual self. Her complexion pale, and her clothes hung loosely on her body due to the weight loss.

"You're the one who killed my parents."

"That's not all." Hiriji said.

Sumire's gaze dimmed. "You-your the one who gave Ru that car! You're the one who messed with the controls!" She suddenly exploded. Black coloured vines shot out of her body grabbing Hiriji's neck.

Toh blinked hearing her words and turned to Mamoru. "Is that true? Did Jian give you that car?"

Mamoru paused but nodded. "My car broke down and I had to send it in for repairs. But, I really wanted to drive Ki to her first concert. The two of us had been fighting recently, so I wanted to make it up to her. Hiriji approached me saying he had a spare car I could use."

He sighs deeply. "And you didn't think to tell me this sooner?"

Mamoru looks away. "You know what state I was in after the accident. My mental state wasn't good."

Of course he knew he had to give Mamoru professional therapy care.

'Her screams, I hear her screams. I see her covered in injuries.

I felt my own power slipping away. Power I could have used to stop her from bleeding.'

"I don't blame you. But," Toh's gaze fell on the footage of Sumire engaging in an intense battle with Jian. "-if she knew before leaving Star town. I'm surprised she didn't tell anyone."

"No, that's wrong. Atushi and Asuka, those two saw her frequently during that time. They probably knew something."

"So, what did you come here to confirm?"

"I want you to tell me if you know anything about Hiriji's deal with Lucifer."

Toh raised his eyebrow. "What makes you think I know?"

"Because you're his second in command. Despite what you say, Lucifer trusts you doesn't he?"

Unfortunately he can't argue against that.

"Before I say anything, why are you so persistent on this topic? Why can't you accept that he is evil?"

"But Hiriji expressed concern for me when he saw me coughing out blood. He still seems concerned for me and Ki. It just doesn't add up."

Toh sighs hearing those words. Indeed, he was there that time it happened. So he does understand. However, "I am sure we have had this conversation before. But you need to stop seeing the good in everyone. It's noble that you still believe in him after he nearly got you killed. But you have to face the reality. Jian joined Lucifer when he was only a child. Jian was the one who approached Lucifer. He was in Lucifer's service before me."

Any trace of hope in Mamoru's face vanished, his expression broken. Toh didn't want to put it so bluntly but he had no choice. Mamoru needs to face reality, the reality that this world is filled with more evil than good.
