"Hey Ben, do me a favor man."
"Sure!!.. what is it?"
"I want to know who really are those people around my wife. I want every detail of them. Although I'm sure Jin can do this, with your connections it will be more faster."
"Do you have their names?"
"The Satori Brothers Jake and Nick. and that guy. I'm not sure if he's the same guy I met in the bar. They looked the same but different."
"Maybe you're talking about his twin brother Mako."
"That's explained. I knew he's not the one I met earlier. The one earlier is quite while that last man is mischievous yet I feel they are both dangerous."
"Yeah, they are identical twins. You can't say who's who when you didn't know them better. But man.. mind you this gonna be not that easy even I use all my connections."
"And why is that?"
"If your dear wife is really involved with those freaking genius twins well I'm afraid we can't find anything. Those twins never leave any trace on their life's whereabouts. Just take the CCTV today as an example.. in just a matter of time it's been deleted on your own phone."
He understands what he's saying because after having a hard time cracking down the security to hacked the CCTV they manage to get it just to be deleted after a few minutes. "Just find anything that's related to their relationship to my wife."
"I'll try man."
"Let's call it the night. Luke come with me. I need you on something. And oh.. Nathalie can you find those draft of divorce agreement they send me 7 years ago that I told you to keep it with you. I need to return it to their face."
Nathalie didn't answer but her face become pale. if Noah found out what she did on that documents 7 years ago she will be in not good situation.
When the girl didn't answer Noah look at her. "Hey..did you hear me?"
"Yes..of course, I'll look for it soon. But I don't understand why do you still need that documents? why bothering to return it to them. This is your plan from the start right? A divorce so you can free from your cheating wife.!!"
"Are you going to divorce that beautiful angel? Man what a waste.." Luke finally join them.
"No.. change plan. She can't be with anyone as long as she's still married to me."
"How selfish.," Ben commented sarcastically.
"When I say I'm going to get what's mine, I really mean it. Let's see if those punk can compete with me without a divorce paper in their hand. Let's go, Luke, it's already late. Jin kindly send Nathalie to her apartment, please.
With that, they're all going in separate ways. Noah and Luke arrived in the hospital. if he is right for what he heard no one is attending her tonight. He asks Luke to arrange something so no one can go to her room the whole night. They even shut down the CCTV in the area around her.
" Why do we just like a thief in the night? You'll just have to say to them that you are her husband no one will dare to ask for evidence for it you know."
"Just shut up Ok?!!!"
"Fine...Fine, it's already done so what's next? shall we go to her room now so I can take a glimpse of her angelic face?"
"Uhm let's go.."
They finally arrived at the room where she confined. He twists the doorknob quietly and get inside. Luke was about to go after him when he stops him. "Stay outside call me immediately when someone comes for her." without waiting for his answer he shut the door and lock it.
He looked at the girl lying on the bed. she looks so pale. Her face is not swollen anymore but there's still a trace of bruises on it. He can't help but touches her face with the back of his hand. He feels the familiar electric-like sensation just like before. He trace every detail of her face with one finger. "Why Yui?." He whisper. "We are more than fine before..were happy. Why do you need to do that?" He traces her face from her eyes, nose, cheek then stop on her lips. There's a sudden urged to taste it, to savor it to know if it still tastes the same but he restrained his self. it's been a long time since he watch her sleeping. Even they don't live together like what husband and wife do. There are times that he sneak into her apartment but they just sleep as part of his promise to her parents and brother that he will wait until she turned 18.
The girl in the bed moved. He froze. He waits for a moment for what will going to happen. She looks restless. She's having a nightmare. He tried to call her. "Yui...Yui... wake up." but no use. She is now trembling. He adjusts the temperature of the room and covered her properly with a blanket, but it's too thin she's still shivering. He tried to look for another blanket in the room when he's about to go outside to ask Luke, Yui grab his hand.
"Please don't go... please don't leave me. it hurts... it hurts so badly." She said in a raspy voice like shes crying.
"I will just going to get you more blanket. I'll be back." To his surprise, his voice is gentle upon saying this.
"Please don't go... please don't leave me. it hurts... it hurts so badly." A tears fall down in her still closed eyes. A thick and hard wall he builds over this years suddenly crumble upon seeing her crying. He sure she's still dreaming because her monitor didn't show any sign that she's awake.
"Please don't go... please don't leave me. it hurts... it hurts so badly." She repeated again. This time she was sobbing.
It was his last straw. He laid down beside her and pull her on his chest. "Shhhhh. I'm here I'm not going to leave you anymore. you can stop crying now... Mommy." Just like the old times. He caresses her hair and planted kisses on her crown and forehead. He keeps on doing it until she stops crying. He can't help but think. Where are those men who supposed to be protecting her and be with her in the time like this? Damn it!!! they can go to hell!!!
A moment passes and she finally calms down. Noah stunned by her sudden movement. He feels his shirt pulled up and the girl on his arm burying her face more on his now bare chest like the way she used to do before whenever they sleep together. rubbing her face there occasionally like a kitten who's looking for that familiar warmth.
At first, he found it cute and very risky. He's still a man and the woman in his arm is his legally lawful wife. But when Kenji said she have this mannerism in her sleep he eventually get used to it. His room is quite dim, He took his phone out on his pocket and lighten her face. Her eyelids didn't quiver a bit indicating that she's still not in her senses. He smile when he took a picture of her quietly. She's like a little kitten who finally found her home.
He pulled up the blanket and cover their bodies. He looked at her peaceful face. He grab her slim waist more closer like he want to burry her inside of him. Stroke her hair and kiss her forehead. "Sleep, tight mommy...Goodnight." The warmth from her body makes his senses feel more than relaxed. Like it's what his body looking and longing for a long time. Expensive, imported and soft pillows and blankets are nothing compared to the warmth coming from her. Not too long after he also doze off to sleep which is very unusual to him. This fast long years he's having trouble sleeping. It always end up drinking himself to sleep or pop up some sleeping pill that Luke prescribed to him. But this time he fell into his total slumber without any effort.
