60 You're My Woman

In the middle of the night, Shou wakes up and found that Risa was in his embrace, snuggling comfortably on his arm.

He kisses her cheek and whispers to her ears. "I love you, Risa. I'll make you mine whatever happens in the future. You'll be the only bride for me."

A few days when she returns to her family mansion, she bumps with Erika at the staircase. She was a little too happy than usual.

Erika notices a love mark near her cleavage because when she bends her body down to pick up her bag, her clothes show a little bit of her skin.

She grit her teeth. She was in love with Akatsuki Shou since she was a kid. Even though she knows it her step-sister's fiance, she grew a hatred toward Risa. She wants what she has. Wealth, her man and everything that she owned.

After a month Risa returns to Calestical City, Erika went to meet Shou at his university. He had free time and he never had a doubt to Erika since he thought that they both grow up in the same circle.

Risa also not often tell him about her step-sister or her step-mother to him.

"Shou-kun." She waves her hand toward him with a sweet smile on her face.

Wave his hand back to her, he went to the cafeteria not far from his campus.

Sit in front of her, he said "Sorry, I'm running late. I had a class." He sat casually before he orders a juice for him.

Shakes her head, she smiles to him before she replies "No. I also just arrived."

"So, why did you want to meet me?" He asks.

"Erm. Shou-kun, you know Mira-senpai from our school, right? She was your junior back then."

Squinted his eyes a bit, he tries to remember. "Uh huh…what's the matter?"

"Well, she told me that she likes you. And she asks me if I can get your contact."

"Hm? I'm sorry, but you know that I'm already engaged with Risa, right?"

"Well, she knows and she thought maybe it's okay if you just have lunch with her. Consider it as a friends invitation."

"Well…if it just a lunch, where there is a lot of people, I guess it's okay."

"Okay. If you feel uncomfortable, I can accompany you and tell Risa later."

Believe in what she says, he goes with her plan the next day. He talks more when Erika initiate him with a lot of question and topic.

Erika went to the restroom after a while and she snaps Shou's picture from the back with another woman before she sends it to Risa.

At that time, she was so pure and blind to a world called 'love'. She believes everything that her eyes see. She did not ask him, and she just dumbly wait for him to tell her himself.

Unfortunately, he didn't tell her anything as he thought that Erika already explains to her. They contact like usual through the line and chat apps.

A few days later, Erika sends her, Shou's voice recording that she already cut and edited with the help of her friend.

Again, Risa was trap in her trick as she listens to the recording of Shou's voice.

"What do you mean I like her? She was so stupid and act like a dog. She just my toys to satisfied my need. Heh...I can even have a bunch of whore like her."

Risa was so heartbroken to hear the voice recording that Erika send to her. Never that she thought, Shou will think of her like a dog and a whore? She only has sex with him once and that's because she thought he likes her too.

At the same moment, Shou also got a voice recording with a text after that saying that she accidentally sent to him.

"Him? Seriously? I don't like him. I just treat him as my toys. I have a bunch of guys here. Why do I need to stick with one dick? He can have as many women he wants and I don't care."

Risa's voice pierces his heart into a thousand shard. His pride as a man feels like being trampled by her.

A minute after, Risa send him a text message.

"I want us to break up."

He took his phone and dialing her phone.

"Risa! How could you do this to me?"

"How could I? How could you! You're the one who started it first. A dog? Seriously?"

"What the hell are you talking about? You're the one who said that you just using me. You want me to be that kind of man? Fine? I'll do exactly as you say! And for your record, I will never let you go! Just watch!"

"You asshole!!" She yelled at him before she cut off the phone.

And that is the first spark that makes them like today. Never that she knows is, he never touch any girl who dates him. Yes, he would go and have a party late at night. But to go all the way with them is not his way.

The only girl that he ever touches is her. Even though she makes him so heartbroken years ago, the feeling he holds for her is always at the special place in his heart.

Starting from that point also, Risa starts to doubt her step-sister. Not wanting to believe everything that she said. Every time she was with Shou, she could notice her step-sister's gaze toward them.

It's just that she still hasn't any proof of her assumption. She also did not want to meddle too much with the duo. She prefers to be alone and live a life as an orphan. It's much better that way.

Even she said that she hates Shou, but after Mr. Takashi, Shou places in number two in her heart as her savior. He always there if she really needs to be relied on. His family still treat her nicely, not knowing what happens to them years ago.

…

"Miss.." A man with fair skin approaches her.

Remove her sunglasses, she looked up at the man with a questioning face. "Yes?"

"Sorry, but may I know your name?" He shyly asks her.

"Mm..and why is that? Did I do something that requires you to have my name?"

"Well, actually..yes, you did something to me."

"Mhm?"

"You stole my heart. And that's why I need your name so that I can give you mine." He smiles handsomely.

Chuckles hearing his flirting way she turned her head to her side and she was startled to see Shou was beside her and staring at her with a murderous look.

She turns her head back to the guy. "You're so nice and handsome too. But, unfortunately, I'm not available."

"It's okay. We can start as a friend?"

"Uhm.." She wants to accept his offer. Why not? It's not harming her to be friend with another gender, right? She even friends with Xui Li and Ren Zhi.

She wants to outstretch her hand but suddenly her hand was grabbed by Shou.

"Sorry dude, this girl here is mine. Even being a friend I will not allow it." He sneering.

Seeing his cold face and murderous aura around him, he nods his head and go away immediately.

"Tch!" Risa pulls back her hand from his grasp.

"And you..dare to flirt around while I was here?"

"Why not? You also do the same." She rolled her eyes.

"Igarashi Risa. You're my woman. Do you know what title you hold?"

Glare at him she also says "Akatsuki Shou. You're supposed to be my future husband. Do you know what you're doing behind my back these few years is wrong?"

"Risa. Don't start a fight." He warns her.

"Then don't poke into my business." She took her things and leave him.

Yet, he still follows her from behind.

She sleeps in the room until they arrive at their destination. While Shou just stays beside her on the bed, reading a book.

After sightseeing and do some shopping, Shou sends her home as he promised her before.

At the entrance, inside the car, he kisses her lips for quite long and passionately before he let her go. Knowing that he might be seeing her again after a few months later makes him hard to let her go.

"I'll see you again, then." He whispers with a husky voice.

"Hmm." She reply short before she opens the door and went inside the house.
