*Too much expectations leads to disappointement"
~•~
After some time Asachi and Sofia began to talk normally after Sofia apologized to him, but they didn't indulge in any romantic or deep conversation but for Adria that was a progress within a week they began to go out together as before, it was really amazing and adria didn't feel like the third wheel as she had someone to go back to every time, she would often smile when Lee texted her and when Sofia says something she'll act like she was listening.
So far adria has been so happy and she hoped and prayed for this happiness to last long, she was really scared and hope this wasn't a dream and this life won't be snatched away from her.
She finally picked a date to tell asachi about she and Lee, she invited ash to a dinner at one of Lee's place so she could tell ash about her and Lee while they were having dinner together the air was a bit tense as Lee and Asachi weren't best of friends they were more like enemies but they behave as they were in front of adria who was unaware of there encounter in the past.
"So asachi how's you and Sofia's relationship going?." adria said with a smile.
Asachi raised his head "Relationship?."
"I mean the way you guys are now there's no more rift or beef between you both right?." adria said as she was nervous about telling him the main reason she invited him.
Asachi was really worried why adria had invited him over to this place, he has never been here and adria never told him she had a house here and what bothered him the most was this guy, Lee. why did she invite him here "we are okay adria, thanks to you I guess."
"haha no that's not true." she laughed it off Lee who saw the way Asachi stared at her immediately placed his hand on hers asachi saw this and creased his brow in confusion.
Seeing Lee's action adria began the main aim "Well asachi I have something to say." she was really nervous.
"mhmm go on."
"I want to tell you that I umm I and Lee are together now." she maned up and said it at one push.
"What!." Asachi raked "Wh..what do you mean adria? how can you say that?.... tell me your joking." He said with disgust and anger.
"Asachi I'm serious." adria said, she wanted to bow her head as she felt she had hurt him but remembered she didn't need to as she owed him nothing and she has the right to make decisions as she is a full grown adult. And with that Asachi stood abruptly with anger "Are you sick Adria?."
"Watch your tone akachi or whatever." lee warned as he doesn't entertain disrespect towards him or people he loved, he doesn't even want to be here with this murder it only because of adria.
"I should watch my tone when you clearly decived her?." Ash scoffed.
"I didn't do anything of such, she's a grown woman and knows what she wants."
Asachi scoffed again this time louder as he burned inside he felt like ripping his clothes and screaming at the top of his voice.
"That's enough Guys, I don't want you both fighting. Ash he's a good guy."
Ash sparked "Good guy huh he's nothing close to a good guy."
"could you stop Asachi?."adria said as she didn't like the way he spoke about Lee, and he was beginning to get on her nerves.
"He's a demon."
"What about you huh? are you innocent huh asachi are you? have you forgotten what you and your boss did huh? or may I REMIND YOU" Lee said in a deadly tone as he stressed the last words.
"Oh please you use that as a means to do evil stuff Lee, I don't care about all this tantrum or tricks your trying to play but just leave her alone, leave her out of this."
Lee was pissed and ready to pounce on him but adria pleaded with her eyes she seriously didn't know what was going on or why Ash was acting like this.
"Adria are you serious about this? your with this guy like you slept with him?."
"What kind of a question is that ash?." adria took a deep breath to control herself as she didn't know what was up with asachi "Please don't make this harder than it is." Adria said as Lee and asachi huge fight over her kept going back and forth till she got tired.
After minutes of asachi blabbering adria spoke again "Can you guys just stop!."
"Don't you ever ash, don't you ever disrespect me. I'm sparing you because of adria next time it ain't gonna be the same."
Ash scoff "Adria I can't believe you slept with this guy after everything I told you."
Again with the sleeping thing? what was really wrong with ash, adria thought to herself before she replied "U never told me anything apart from him being a mean tyrant who doesn't care about anyone's feeling and that was all ash what about you huh?."
"What about me?."
" I actually told you we were together wbu wen u got involve with Sofia u fucking kept me in the dark!!!."
"Well guess what Adria, Lee is a murderer, min has been missing for days and was found him dead at the lake and a statement was released that he committed suicide you want to know who is responsible for that?."
"Ash." Lee warned him.
"Let him speak." adria said
"Feeling scared huh? well dear lovely adria Lee killed min and he's also responsible for the missing min's brother."
"What do you mean? What relationship do they share that he would want to kill him, Lee would never do such a thing he might appear to be mean or anything else but a murderer." Adria tried to cover Lee as she believed he wouldn't want to kill min even if she had seen him kill someone once.
"You still dont believe me wow adria wow." Asachi stormed out as he was pissed, adria turned to lee "What he said..."
"Adria. Please." Lee didn't want to have this conversation at least not now, they were just building there relationship and this wouldn't help in any way.
"Is it true, are you the reason Akios father is missing?."
Lee remained silent.
"It's true." she said in realization "I can't believe this Lee i can't believe you."
"Adria." Lee came close to hold her.
"Don't you touch me and don't u dare follow me or send anyone after me." Adria picked up her jacket and left.
He stood rooted there as he stared at the closed door there wasn't any way he would let adria leave angry never he quickly chased after her, he met up with her in the garage.
"Adria."
"Go away Lee."
"Please adria let me explain."
"What do you want to explain huh what can justify your act?." adria said as she was pissed and took large steps to her car.
"Min killed my father." feeling frustrated he said it, what he never wants to say from his mouth, he tightened his fist as pain flashed in his eyes.
"What?." adria stopped walking and turned to lee in confusion.
He took a breath "And... and he framed me for the death of his sister."
"Lee." adria stopped as worry clowded her and she stared at him with pity in the end they went through the same thing, she had also been accused of murdering her ex lover.
"Please don't say anything, let me explain, he killed my dad." he said as he was scared she was going to leave.
"You already said that Lee." she said calmly
"He also kidnapped my niece, he swore to end everything I care about."
"But why." adria frowned the min she knew didn't just threaten anyone, he strike deals or something like that.
"I can't tell the full story but I lured him through his brother and I later let him go, on the way he somehow escaped from the car, I tried my best to get him alive but he fell off the cliff and as for his brother, he is well and fine I promise."
"Lee."
"Please Adria, we promised to hear each other out and you told me you trusted me just few days ago please adria."
Adria closed her eyes as she took a deep breath "Lee am trying my best to but if all this came up what about other things you are hiding?."
"I'm not hiding anything else I swear, I was just a teenager adria I did...I didn't know what to do."
"But you just said that asachi had something to do with something from your past."
"That story is left for him to tell by himself adria, please don't leave me alone, please your the only reason I am still moving right now your the only person I want to live for."
Adria stared for a while and closed her car door she strolled towards him and embraced him in a tight hug just to find Lee trembling, was he this scared to lose her, or to talk about his past adria thought to herself.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you or got carried away by emotions."
Lee said nothing as he held her tightly "Don't leave me alone adria please."
"I won't Lee, I won't." she said as they stayed like that for a while before they went back inside, that night adria watched Lee sleep as she thought deeply, what had really transpired between Lee and min she was tired of waiting she wanted to know everything and she wanted to know now she kissed Lee's head and immediately he dragged her towards him.
