*I care for you still and I always will be here but I'm taking a step back from this self affliction that you call love

~•~

That evening Asachi arrived at the hotel, he had his meal and freshened up. He later went to see Adria they spoke for a while before he left to see Sofia.

Adria went for a walk since she felt a bit bored and unable to sleep, she went to the river side and stared at the sea, she really missed home and Berlina hadn't been calling since the last time. She picked up her phone and dialled her sisters number but heard "Hey it's Berlina, leave a message." adria sighed as she wondered what was going on her calls weren't returned or attended to and this never happens she's really alone now, she should have returned when berlina asked her to, she took a deep breath and stared at the water for a while. Later her guard told her to go inside as she might catch a cold due to the strong breeze.

"Have you heard anything from my sister?." adria asked as she dust off the sand from her jeans.

"No ma'am." he answered as he helped her up.

"Do you know if she's ok."

"She is ma'am."

In the morning

Adria woke up due to the banging at her door with a groan she stood up and went to the door.

"What do you want?." adria said as she opened the door.

"Wakey wakey sleepy head today is picking outfit day." Sofia smiled looking really excited.

"Oh it's you, thought it was room service but aren't you supposed to be helping the preparation it's your bosses celebration you know that."

"Yes I do, he's way too rich so he has people to do that."

"Alright come in."

"Oh thank you I thought you would never ask."

They both went in and sat across each other, Adria stared at Sofia.

"Where's Asachi?." adria asked cause Sofia barely come around her else asachi was around.

"Oh his in the room, probably getting ready." Sofia didn't sound please with the topic and after she spoke there was a long silence.

"You don't look ok, what's wrong?."adria's inquisitive side popped in.

"Nothing I'm ok."Sofia shrugged.

"Ok if you say so. I need to shower so if you are patient then you could wait." Adria said as she went in to shower and when she was done she came out to have her breakfast.

Sofia waited patiently and after some minutes Asachi came to adria's room Sofia looked uncomfortable as she avoided looking at him adria on the other hand just sat and observed.

"Good morning Adria." Asachi said as he walked in not sparing Sofia a glance.

"Morning Asachi how are you doing?."

"I'm good we got a dress hunt today, so are you ready?."

"Umm well Sofia here already asked me already so we all can go together."

Asachi turned to Sofia "I don't think so her co workers came looking for her earlier."

"Oh that means I'll be leaving then." Sofia said as she stood up and left.

Adria and asachi watched her leave "What happened between you two." Adria asked in a low voice.

"Are you ready?." He ignored her question but adria remained silent so he had to answer "Just a little misconception."he shrugged as he opened the door for her.

They strolled out the room,got into the elevator and then the car. In the car adria looked at Asachi and said "Don't worry she's gonna come by." as she felt he was sad about it.

"I know, actually the pissed person is me, she said something offensive to me last night and can you believe sh-."

Adria stared out the car window"I don't need the details asachi you both should work things out."

*******

They finally got to the boutique and began to pick the outfit they needed, it was easy picking out a cloth for Asachi as he was a guy and he just had to get a suit,tuxedo and black shoes but getting a dress for Adria was a bit difficult as she wasn't petite like the average japanese ladies, the dresses were to small so they had to check out other boutique. Finally they got a Versace store at chiyoda city, yurakucho it was a bit far from the beach but well they got a car, Adria and asachi began to pick dresses.

She tested a lot of clothing, and when she couldn't make a choice she showed Asachi, but they both didn't seem to like any, finally they got her a black dress which she liked this one she didn't show asachi as she told the sales lady to rap it up for her.

"You finally selected." Asachi said as he saw her soft smile.

"Yeah." she said as she walked towards the cashier to pay.

"Can I see?." he asked.

"You'll see it tomorrow." Adria smiled as she handed the bag to him and they headed out of the boutique..

*******

Lei arrived in the mansion as he saw Lee and the family having breakfast.

"Oh if it not the family I adore." he gave a smile as he handed his luggages to the butler.

"Oh lei my boy is so nice to have you here, come sit with us." grandma said.

Lei did as he was told and sat next to Grandma while grinning childishly.

"Hey come serve him some food." grandma ordered.

"Thanks grandma." lei said happily as he digged into his meal but stopped halfway and stared at the only side of the dining that looked dark and quiet "Lee aren't you going to say hi to me."

"Hi." Lee said without even staring at him.

"Hmm what a cold man, you are such a jerk." lei joked but Lee dropped his spoon in a loud thud as he stood up from the dinning

"Quiet, Lee go back to your seat and eat both of you will end up teaching my granddaughter bad manners." she stared at her granddaughter who was staring at her uncles "eat." she tapped her shoulder gently.

When they were done Lee excused himself and lei followed behind him.

"Where's he?." Lee asked casually as he strode to the garage.

"At the basement."

"We got like 13 basements here dehm it, which one?."

"The one closest to the water fall."

"The rock house?." Lee said as he was tired of Lei's stupidity what was there in just saying things exactly the way they are than beating around the bush.

"Yes."

Getting to the garage Lee picked up his car key and strolled towards his car.

"Don't tell me you are going there now, you got a birthday to prepare for tomorrow, so why don't we wait till your done with your celebration."

Lee ignored him and handed him the car key.

"My wrist hurts, you drive." Lei said as he threw his face to the other side in refusal but still stole glances every now and then but Lee remained quiet as he glared daggers at him.

"What!." lei said as he walked to the car and entered the passenger seat.

Lee entered the car and started the engine, he turned to Lei "Are you ready." it wasn't a question as he didn't even wait for the reply.

"Of course I- ahahaha Lee!!!!!!Lee slow down, slow down please!!!!."

After few minutes they arrived at the rock house Lee parked his car at the entrance of the big rock and lei made his way out of the car to throw up "What the f**k was that Lee do you want me dead." He complained as he went to meet Lee but when he got to him Lee's face was void of emotions he looked like a beast with no soul so lei had no choice but to keep shut.

"Have you forgotten this is how I drive? I did tell you to drive tho." Lee said as he headed into the place and lei trailed behind him.

When they got there they saw min's brother chained to a holder that was attached to the rock he's hands were chained in opposite direction, he was all bloody and had his head down.
