Chapter ten

Kono lay on her mother's bed wrapped up in the duvet and clinging to the pillow. Her mind was racing with thoughts of what Adam was up to and if he really was in some sort of trouble. What if he's gone back to running the business like Hiro? She thought worriedly. She hated to think like this and she couldn't believe she had even gone to her mum after everything. When she knocked on her mum's door she had tears running down her cheeks and Maisy in her arms. Her mother had let her in and hugged her tight asking if she wanted to talk but Kono had begged to be left alone. Leia had taken Maisy and Kono had run upstairs to the safety of her mother's room.

"Hey can I come in?" Leia asked quietly as she entered the room with Maisy in her arms.

"Hmmm"

Leia placed Maisy on the bed and lay down next to her daughter gently brushing her hair out of her face.

"What's wrong Keikei?"

"It's Adam" Kono mumbled sadly.

"Tell me"

"Chin came to mine today asking where Adam was and he had pictures of him meeting another man and CCTV footage showed that an ex yakuza left the pictures on HPD desk" Kono sobbed.

"Okay?"

"Chin was really mad he thinks Adam is up to something"

"Do you think Adam is up to something?"

"He's been lying about where he's been going"

"Have you spoken to him about it?"

"No…but Chin's gone to see him"

"So you let that crazy protective cousin of yours go confront your husband instead of speaking to him yourself"

"I…"

"Look we both know how I once felt about Adam but he's been good to you and Maisy so don't assume the worst he might have a reason for lying"

"You've changed your tune"

"Well I've got to know Adam and I do believe he has changed and is running a totally legit business that doesn't mean that people from his past are on his side anymore."

"Chin's going to kill Adam"

"He's just protective keikei"

Kono smiled gratefully at her mum and leaned into her embrace.

"I should head home"

"Okay sweetheart"

Adam sat with Chin, Steve and Danny preparing to explain to the guys why he was meeting with Marius and who Niroh was.

"Adam start talking" Chin warned.

"I was meeting with Marius to discuss disbanding the business and starting again with the money I've created since changing the business."

"What do you mean?"

"I know that Kono hates the fact that although the business is legit the money that started it is from illegal deals my father did and because of that there is greater chance of unknown associates coming out of the wood work and harming my family"

"So what's Niroh doing?"

"He was an associate of my father but my father fired him when he refused to agree to ignore Wo Fat. He started making business deals on the quiet moving things about and Marius realised and came to me. Niroh realised and tried to prevent Marius from sorting the company out with me but myself and Marius have moved ahead with it. Niroh confronted a few of our meetings at work so we moved them to other locations. He seemed to disappear but then we saw him after a meeting when I guess he took the pictures. Look Chin I'm not doing anything shady, I'm doing this for my family. After Maisy was born I realised I couldn't have anything risking our family even if I'm legit the family past still has ghosts. If I move away from my father's money and start a fresh my family is more protected." Adam explained.

"Oh" Chin said shocked.

"I understand why you would be worried Chin and I appreciate how you look out for Kono but I'm doing this for her and Maisy"

"Why did you lie to her about the meetings?"

"If she knew and anyone untrustworthy found out I didn't want to risk her or Maisy getting hurt. I'm trying to move things about quietly so I can hire new people and keep a select few."

"Kono is your wife Adam she needs to know"

"I know I was trying to protect her"

"I get it…I'm sorry about…"

"Don't worry I don't blame you"

"Look I might have put it in Kono's head that you were up to something so…"

"I have hell to face when I get home?"

"Yeahh…"

"It's fine"

Adam returned home later that day and found Kono nervously pacing the front lounge. Maisy was happily chewing on a toy and oblivious to the tension that suddenly surrounded them.

"Why have you been lying to me Adam…what are too into?" Kono asked with a chocked sob.

"I'm not in anything bad I promise and I lied to protect you"

"What's going on?"

"I was meeting with the man in the pictures to work on disbanding the company and starting again with the money I've earn in my new legit businesses."

"You're selling?"

"Yes and the money I've earn and what I get from selling will be enough to start again. I'm closing my deals with the hotels first and transferring them into my new company"

"Really?"

"Yeah baby, when Maisy was born I knew I had to protect us"

"I thought you had done something bad"

"Well I did lie"

"You know I can look after myself"

"Oh I know baby but I'm your husband I wanted to protect you"

"Your such a goof"

"Watch it babe"

"Hmm what you gonna do?"

"Put Maisy down for a nap and I'll show you"

"Oh yeah" Kono said with a smirk as she scooped a sleepy Maisy up and put her to bed.

Kono walked into the bedroom and found it empty. She fisted her hands in frustration hoping Adam wasn't messing with her. She walked back out to the living room and found Adam watching the TV casually. Kon stood in front of Adam and raised her eyebrow.

"Problem?"

"Don't mess with me" Kono whined.

Adam smirked then pulled Kono down into his arms where he proceeded to make love to her over and over until their precious little baby interrupted.

The End
