101 I Am Your Man

"Shou-kun..you know I love you..why did you say something like that?" She changes her voice to the spoilt mode.

"I do whatever I like and I hate a woman who likes to order me around." He states that and continues to do his work.

Indeed, he hates a woman who likes to take control of him but not with that girl. The only person who can make him follow her order is no one else but Risa.

Pout a bit, she then continues to learn. She has been there for one week since the day she went back from Colorado. She really thought that they sleep together that night and Shou just let her drowned in her own fantasy.

…

"Welcome back, Risa-sama." All the servant greet her once she was out of the car.

Smiling at them, she strode in and find Mary, her servant.

"Mary-chan, is my father at home?" She asks while glancing around the living hall.

"No Risa-sama. Only madam is in the house currently." She speaks softly and lowered her head.

"Oh, thank you." She smiles at her and went to the staircase.

"Oh! Look at the princess. How dare you to come back home with your slutty body, huh?" Saya said with a hateful voice. She staring at Risa's attire. Indeed, she can't cover Shou's love mark underneath her dress. She forgot to cover it with her foundation.

"Slutty? You or me? You seduce my father when you're just a worker. A mere worker while my father is someone else husband. Aren't you more slut than I am?" She talks back to her.

"You! How dare you call me a slut!" She took off her high heels and throw it to Risa.

She dodges the attack and laughing.

"Hahaha.. seems like once you're a cheap bitch you can never be noble. Once a wild chicken, you can never be a peacock."

She brushed her off at the staircase and went to her bedroom.

Saya was so furious. She took her phone and dialing Kenji's number. With a trembling voice, she fakes a cry and starts to complain all Risa's word to her just now.

Kenji did not say anything as he only heard what Saya want to complain. He knew Risa sometimes can be so rude to Saya and Erika. But to get mad at Risa is like to get mad at her late wife. It only makes him suffered after that.

He still loves Sakura, thus, it is such a complicated feeling he felt toward Risa. But at the same times, Saya has been with him longer than Sakura and she devoted her life to him. Saying that she loves him every day has made him turn soft to her too.

"Mm. I'll talk to her later." He said and hang up after that. Sighing, he could only shake his head.

In the night time,

A party held at the grand hotel and all of the influential people are invited. Including Igarashi family.

Risa did not been told about this party. Like always, she has been marginalized by her own father because of her stepmother and stepsister doing.

Lucky that Shou always takes care of her. He sends Shinji to go to Igarashi mansion and bring Risa to this party. The show is about to start.

He went to the party with his family. While Erika also joining them with her mother and stepfather.

Her evening dress very sexy and still had a little 'lolita' design in her fashion. Shou feels like nausea to see how she dress up but, he can't show it now. Not yet. The proof and everything that he collects these past few weeks already concrete enough to make people realize their true face behind the mask.

"Shou-Kun~" She went to Shou and link her arm around his.

With that daring moves, everyone around them looks at him. His mother and father also stare at him like a predator waiting to eat their prey.

"What are you doing?" His voice indifferent and he looks at her with a cold gaze.

"Shou-Kun, I think this is the best time for us to announce it, right?" She intentionally said it with a bit loud voice.

A famous journalist and some reporter from an international company start to gleaming their eyes once they heard about an announcement and they went closer to them.

Risa just arrives at the grand hall. She wears a blue color dress and she uses natural makeup. She heard a commotion about announcing something. She went to the crowd and squeeze herself into the circle until she saw Shou and Erika. Linking arm together like a couple.

"Shou?" She calls his name with teary eyes.

All the camera on the journalist and reporter's phone starts to move to her. Recording the potential hot news for tomorrow.

Startle, Erika bit her lip, 'How does this bitch be here?!' Shou look at her without saying anything.

Seeing there's an opportunity, she started to make a guilty expression and went to Risa.

"Sorry, Risa-chan. But Shou-Kun and I are dating now. I know he's your fiance. But he loves me, we already decided that we gonna be engaging soon as he breaks off the engagement with you. I'm sorry. You can have all my money as compensation but please don't separate me with Shou-Kun. I'm begging you." She already holds both of Risa hand and her eyes wet with tears. She really knows how to act!

Risa turns to look at Shou. Not only her but both of their parents also look at him. One with winning face, while the other side with a grieving face.

"I'm sorry." He said and that makes his family's face turn even green.

"Shou!" Akatsuki Sata grit his teeth and his wife immediately hold his arm. Calming him down. They are now in the center of people attention.

Shou did not turn to look at his father as he continues to walk to both of the girls not far from him.

He went to Erika's side and take her hand off from Risa. Erika smile inwardly and Risa dumbfounded with his action.

'Is he really want to end this? Is he finally choose that bitch?' She feels like she was tossed aside. She clenching her fist and turn around. This time, her tears really fall down. It's not a fake tear as before.

Erika was joyed and she tries to bury her face on Shou's chest but before she could do that, Shou already halts her action brushes her over.

"I never had the intention to breaking up with my fiance," Shou said and he holds Risa by her shoulder.

Startled, Risa wipes her tears. Everyone also dumbfounds with his word.

"Err, wait, Shou-kun.. this is a joke right?" Erika immediately holds on his arm again.

Wiggle his hand from her, he put his arm around Risa's waist, and she automatically turns around and hides her crying face on his chest.

"I'm sorry." He whispers to her and kisses the top of her head.

His public displays of affection toward Risa makes all the people feel more curious about what exactly happens. Indeed, these past few days Erika's social media is full with her photo and Shou with many sweet statuses from her. It is like they really in a relationship.

But now, why did he say he never had the intention to break off the engagement with his fiance? Risa.

Looked at Erika, he says "I never joke around."

Akatsuki Sata sighs a relief while Saya grit her teeth.

"But, Shou-kun..when we're in Vail, you said to me..you want to marry me. We even..we even sleep together!" She losing her control and tell all the people about that night.

She knew, if she said it out loud people will start to sympathy toward her and with that statement also, his family will have him take the responsibility.

Get into the role, Saya jerk out. "You sleep with my daughter?! and now you want to toss her just like that?!!"

Kenji also surprise. Even though Erika is not his biological daughter, but he raises her. Of course, he would feel offended if someone does such a thing to his stepdaughter.

Wipe her tears, Risa turns around and look at Erika. "Do you have any proof saying that my man sleeps with you that night?"

'My man?' Shou lowered his gaze to Risa. He feels super happy right now.

'Yes, I am your man.'
