Against his father will

As the three exited the hotel, Noah asked Jin to dropped Natalie first on her apartment. As soon as Natalie get off from the car. Noah didn't wait any longer and asked Jin to drive away.

"Care to tell me what happened? It's not usual to you that you didn't go home last night. Well except that day we slept at your old apartment." Jin asked in curiosity. He so worried last night when he saw him on that state. He know something is not right.

"Check the CCTV on the private room we occupied last night." He ordered to Jin.

"Why? Something happened?"

"Someone put something on my drinks last night. I don't remember what happened last night and how me and Natalie end up together in bed." Noah pinch the bridge of his nose.

"As in anything? Even when you decided to come with her on that room up?"

"I remember that part until I asked her to call you when I felt something was not right in me." He positions his head on the headrest. "By the way do you have my phone? I can't find it."

"Yeah.. You left it in the couch. It's in the compartment." Jin answer. He knew it. "I'll already ask someone to check it. Even Ben and Luke noticed something's wrong with you that time."

"Then why didn't you follow me?"

"Well.. Natalie is already with you. So we thought if something ever happened to you, she will call us right away."

"But she didn't. I asked her to call you or Luke but she said her ph---" Noah suddenly stopped when he realized something. As far as he remembered Natalie said they can't use her phone that night because the battery of it already drained and she doesn't have the charger with her. How come this morning her phone is fully charged. Did he ask for the hotel service to lend her a charger?

"What?" Jin asked when he stopped talking.

"Nothing.. So what did you found out on the CCTV?" Noah ask instead.

"That's what we like to discuss with you. Ben double checked it but the footage last night just end up when those girls come inside then the rest has been deleted. We already summon the best hacker we have but still, we can't retrieve the video."

"Why? Did you talk about it to the manager of that hotel?"

"We did. We still looking the other video that we can connect if what's really going on."

"I'll leave it to you then." Noah sigh and close his eyes. He's starting to have a headache.

"By the way Uncle called earlier. He's reminding you about the Gala in his hotel. That will be next week."

"In Switzerland right? How come father invested a business that's too far."

"Well.. Uncle is quite a wanderer. Maybe one of his trips he get fancy on that place while wandering around." Jin let out a sale cackle.

"Yeah.. The last time I saw him was my mother's funeral. I'm just merely 9 years old at that time. Then he just let your Mother look after me. He didn't even attend my wedding to Yui. And Yui didn't even met him, even her family. Although we always do video call but seeing each other personally is like once in a blue moon."

"What a waste this is supposed to be the right time to introduce her to him. By the way did he already knows about you and your wife situation?"

"Yeah.. He knew all along. In fact he's the one who told me to go away and leave her for a while."

"So Uncle really don't like your wife after all."

"I don't think so.. Maybe it's not that he doesn't like her. Yui is still young by that time, maybe he's just worried that we're not really ready to face the marriage life."

"Mother told me that Uncle is really against on you marrying her."

"Which I found very odd. Father never met Yui I'm sure about that. Even through video call. I just only show him her photo one time when we have a video call together. I'm excited to tell him that Yui is already my girlfriend back then." Noah pause for a bit. "I always told him that, I have this girl I fancy, he said OK. Then when I sent him her photo I told him my feelings for her is real. I want her to be mine. Not for play nor for display unlike my previous girlfriend. And that I want to marry her, but he strongly disagree in an instant and I don't know why."

"Well.. That's strange.. Uncle is not a judgmental type of person."

"I know right.. I keep on asking him why he doesn't like Yui but he never gives me his reason."

"And you still marry her even uncle is against it?"

Noah didn't answer. He's recalling on his mind that day when he and his father have an argument that ends in a fight when he told him he will marry Yui on her 16th birthday. That was the first time they had fight and it's over the video call. In the end his father agree on one condition.

"Never.. As in don't touch her!. Don't dare to have s*x with her or f**k her!!. If you feel you want to f**k her go find someone to realize your lust." That's his condition which he found so strange.

That's her wife for Pete sake!! of course he have all the rights to touch her and make love with her. . But in the end he thought, maybe his father is worried coz Yui is still young and also, still studying.

"I really love her. Every time Yui receives gifts, love letters and confessions, I got jealous. I want it to be only me. Only me who make her smile, only me to make her laugh. I want to be those gifts and love letters she received only comes from me. Call me a selfish jerk. But I want her all for me. " Noah said after a few silence.

"And you make it. You won her heart."

"Yeah.. By bribing her with all her likes and favorites." Noah smiles when he remembered Yui's answers when he asked her why she agreed to become his girlfriend. She said it's because of the food he bribe to her.

"And then this happened." Jin sigh on his cousin misfortune in his marriage. "Uncle is also the one who introduced you to Natalie right?"

"Well not exactly. Remember we met her at the bar for the first time? I already met her first before father told me that he wants me to meet his friend's daughter that happened to be Natalie."

"What a small world isn't it.. So are you going to that Gala?"

"I haven't decided yet but we'll see." He's not yet sure about it. He still needs to find where is his wife. "Any news about Yui?"

"Negative."

Noah groaned in frustration. Jake Saotori!! Where in the hell you send my wife!!! If something happened to her, I'll make sure you will regret the day you met me!!! Noah scream inside.
